Product Description
It's time to clear the air. And now there's an easy, portable, proactive way to do it.
The EPA says indoor air may be 5 times more polluted than the air outside, and most of us spend approximately 90% of our time indoors. If you have weather-tight doors and windows, pets, or smoke, you could be adding to the problem. That's why you need the new, whisper-quiet ProShield Plus Air Purifier - the easy, portable, proactive way to help clean the air in your home. It circulates the air, filters out allergens, dirt, and other airborne irritants, captures and kills viruses and germs, and breaks down odors and volatile organic compounds such as chemical fumes and aerosol vapors - with the new Helios ShieldTM permanent odor absorber.
Great for Asthma and Allergy Sufferers.
Every time you close your front door, you're sealing yourself in with airborne bacteria, dust, germs, and allergens. Some you can smell. Most you can't. The new Oreck ProShieldTM Plus helps reduce those nasty particulates in homes, and actually improves air quality. At the same time, it also helps eliminate odors. That's becuase the Oreck ProShield Plus constantly moves the air, drawing in and trapping those particulates. Its unique new Helios ShieldTM UV odor control technology and exclusive Truman CellTM captures pet dander, dust, and other harmful allergens that can drive asthma and allergy sufferers crazy.
Whisper-quiet, easy to use, and environmentally friendly.
The ProShield Plus features easy-to-use controls and offers three different speed settings - high for maximum cleaning, medium for normal use, and silence for quietest operation. A handy remote control allows you to turn the power on or off, and adjust the odor control feature, motor speed, and night light - all from across the room. The Truman CellTM permanent filter never needs to be replaced - which saves you money and reduces waste.
Oreck ProShield Plus Air Purifier with UV-A Helios Shield and Remote - AIR12GU Reviews
| 52 of 56 people found the following review helpful  excellent results - highly recommend, By This review is from: Oreck ProShield Plus Air Purifier with UV-A Helios Shield and Remote - AIR12GU (Kitchen) I recently purchased one of these for our house. Our family suffers from allergies which result many times in sinus infections, as well as colds. I was tired of our two young kids constantly being medicated for their runny noses and I thought this would help. My wife was a bit skeptical, but within the first 2 days of installing this air purifier in the family room the stuffy noses went away and we have not had a sinus infection (or really even a runny nose) since. I have purchased 3 more - one for each bedroom - and am very pleased with the performance. The unit is barely noticeable on the "silent" mode (I have to put my hand over it to know it is on). The kids like the "medium" setting for bedtime because it provides some "white" noise. I typically leave them on medium when we are not home. I have cleaned all of the units and it was very easy. All you do is use the brush attachment on the vacuum and clean up the front, top and inside of it. I did use the Assail a Cell cleaner on...

It's Okay as an "air cleaner", but was an expensive disappointment for it's intended use.First, these units are not air "purifiers". The "Truman Cell" is just a fancy electronic grid of wires and flat metal panels that ionise particulates as they pass through, causing them to adhere to the metal plates by a static charge. Particulates large enough to be affected by the change in ionic charge are trapped, while smaller ones may still travel through the unit and remain suspended in the air. It is very effective at removing particulates from the air. But, this is far from "purification". This is also nothing new, and Oreck have actually been making this exact same air "purifier" in the same essential design for at least 30 years. The only differences are that the units have gotten larger, and they now have pretty blue LEDs--they are also almost 5 times the price. Back...

I live in a city that has smog problems in the winter. And some days the air is so bad I couldn't even find relief at home. This product solved the problem. I stopped coughing at night. I stopped sneezing. I stopped waking up with a sore throat.I don't know that the unit removes 99.9% of dust particles from the air as claimed. But if it removes even 75% then that's a major improvement in air quality. I definitely notice the difference. My only problem is that the old man in the commercial said that it would cut down on dust and that I would see less dust in the room. I think the reality is that the unit emits an electrostatic charge to dust particles throughout the room. Some of that dust is captured by the unit and the rest of it sticks to surfaces around the room. The electrostatic charge causes the dust to stick to surfaces rather than float in the air; which means... Read more |
