How does the SilentAir air purifier compare with the Oreck unit?
The Oreck unit is rated to remove particles down to 0.3 microns and operates with a fan and motor. With the fan and motor the Oreck tends to be very noisy. The collection element tends to be cumbersome and requires handling, cleaning and drying. There is also a secondary filter that requires replacement. The SilentAir air purifiers uses affordable disposible collection sheets as part of the patented technology. The specially engineered collection sheets trap and hold airborne particles as small as 0.002 microns. That is 150 times smaller than what Oreck is rated to capture. Every month when the indicator light comes on simply discard the collection sheet ensuring all the contaminants are removed from the environment with ease. Operates with no fan or motor and is very quiet.
