Oreck Air Purifier Tested & Reviewed: Is The ProShield Worth It?

Oreck Air Purifier

Are you looking for an air purifier that can truly deliver cleaner, fresher air in your home? The Oreck Air Purifier ProShield has attracted attention for its sleek design and advanced filtration technology. But does it really live up to the claims? In this review, I share our experience with the ProShield. This includes its features, performance, and overall value. If you struggle with allergies, pet dander, dust, or everyday indoor air concerns, this review will help you decide whether the Oreck ProShield Air Purifier is the right choice for your home.

According to the EPA, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Because of Madison’s health conditions, we are especially careful about maintaining clean air inside our home. That is one of the main reasons we decided to try the Oreck ProShield Air Purifier. It is designed to remove and destroy up to 98% of airborne particles. These include dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, fungi, pet dander, cigarette smoke, and odors. As someone who seems to be allergic to everything, I truly appreciate the level of filtration it provides.

Setup was incredibly simple. We took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it was ready to run. You can easily adjust the fan speed to your preference. We typically keep ours on the quiet setting, where it runs so silently that you barely notice it. It is very user-friendly. However, it is still helpful to glance through the instructions. The unit can clean and recirculate the air in a 12-foot by 18-foot room twice per hour. This helps maintain consistent air quality.

One of the biggest advantages is the Truman Cell permanent filter. Instead of replacing filters regularly, you simply rinse it, allow it to dry, and reinstall it. This saves both money and maintenance time. The purifier also includes a permanent Helios Shield that uses UV-A light to help reduce odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Its six-stage purification system captures and destroys particles as small as 0.1 microns. This is incredibly small.

Occasionally, you may hear a light crackling sound when the purifier captures larger particles. This can be surprising at first. However, it is actually a sign that the system is actively working to clean the air.

We wanted to see real results, so we paid close attention to dust levels in our home. One of the easiest ways to monitor this was by watching our TV screen, which usually collects dust quickly. After using the purifier, we noticed a significant reduction in dust buildup. The built-in deodorizing feature also helps the room smell noticeably fresher and cleaner.

Overall, the Oreck ProShield Air Purifier delivers impressive performance. It is easy to use, effective at reducing airborne particles, and requires minimal maintenance thanks to its permanent filter system. While it may not be the absolute quietest or most feature-packed purifier available, it provides excellent value for its price point.

If you want to improve your home’s air quality, reduce allergens, and create a healthier environment, the Oreck Air Purifier ProShield is a strong option. For our family, it has made a noticeable difference, and we are very happy with it.

    Jenny

  2. Air purifiers are excellent devices because they essentially eliminate Dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust mite feces and many other ailments that trigger allergies in people. For this reason alone I feel that everyone should have one in their house…for the health benefits alone.

  3. My favorite is the Susan G. Komen 'For The Cure' Oreck XL Deluxe Upright Vacuum Cleaner!

    Thanks for the great giveaway offering!

    Good luck to all!

  4. I really want the halo vacuum cleaner. The germ killing light looks really cool and is a feature not available from other brands.

  5. I have the Oreck Deluxe electric fabric shaver and I love it! It makes an old sweater look new again! Plus, after I spilled hair dye on my carpet I used it lightly on the pile before the stain settled in too deep and I can hardly even tell where the spot was now!

  6. I would love to have an Oreck Halo, with the anti-germ light. Really, any of their products would be welcome. I've heard great things about them from so many people.

  7. My favorite Oreck product would have to be the XL Gold Upright Vacuum — my family couldn't live without ours; it's a powerful, durable cleaning machine! Thanks for the giveaway!

  8. I would love to have a Oreck Halo Vacuum Cleaner. My daughter and I both have bad allergies and our vacuum is 20 years old….These give-aways are wonderful – today is my first day discovering them.

  9. My favorite is the New Oreck Halo Vacuum Cleaner. We could use this vacuum in our house of five plus two dogs. Alot of dust, hairs and dander. Thankyou 😉

  10. Leaving comments is soooooooooooooo boring 🙁 , I like filling out forms much better. 🙂

    But it's worth leaving a boring comment for such a cool prize! Thanks for the chance!! 😀

  11. Well I will definitely vouch for Oreck on this one!! We have a Purifier that's 3 years old and nothing has ever happened to it. The cell on it did break once, they replaced it in the store for FREE with no issues! It was a great experience and we will continue to buy from Oreck!

    Oh and I'd love to try a Halo Vacuum Cleaner… and I could use this purifier for our bedroom!

  12. Wow! I would love to have the Steam-It! What a great way to clean the shower stall too! Thanks for sharing this site. Got to let my sister know. Thanks!

  13. My favorite item is the Oreck Halo UV-C Vacuum Cleaner, although I'd be afraid to use it! Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (at) gmail.com

  14. The Oreck Halo looks amazing. So innovative! I love that during this flu season I can eliminate germs on the floor my twins crawl on. Thanks!

  15. My favorite product was the Oreck Tower Air Purifier, but now that they've added two new air purifiers – the Oreck ProShield and Oreck ProShield Plus – I'm not sure which is my favorite… but I know I could find a home for any one or all of them! 😀

  16. The Oreck Steam-It would be great to have. I like that it will work upside-down without spilling water to clean items above the floor.

  17. My favorite Oreck product is the UV-C GERM-KILLING VACUUM CLEANER. What a good idea! Would love to have something like this when we get to winter and miss the fresh air.

  18. Like everybody else I like the Halo Vac. I have a pretty severe mold allergy so I am curious to see if that would make a difference with my symptoms.

  19. I want the Oreck One Touch House Cleaning System. Just push one button and it cleans the carpets, wood floors, toilets and washes the windows. Failing that (since it hasn't been invented yet) I like the Oreck Orbiter Ultra to polish and clean my wood floors.

  20. Say Goodbye to many bacteria, viruses, mold and germs.

    The New Oreck Halo Vacuum Cleaner uses UV-C light to kill many of the germs that could be on your floors, while you vacuum. So that you and your family can enjoy a healthier clean.

  21. My favorite product is the one offered in the contest, the ProShield Air Purifier (and the Proshiel Plus) I've been looking around for a good air purifier.

  22. The allergy control bedding is pretty cool. My girlfriend has a ton of allergies so I'm always on the lookout for stuff like this for her.

  23. I would also love to have the Oreck Halo Vacuum with UV-C germ killing light. Thanks for the chance to win the air purifier. I would love to cut down on the amount of dust that's in my house.
