Hey guys I just got out of my Oreck air purifier and I have it running in my room on low, I’m not actually sure if it does anything, but I have noticed in a completely dark room you can see the Corona wire is glowing a very slight purple so I think that means that the high voltage section works Although I do wonder, do these actually really do anything? I mean yeah sure I picked up mine used and it actually did do a good job at removing the bushfire smoke from when we had a bushfire just over the border a couple years ago, and I have been rinsing the filter thing out whenever I did use it, but I guess I’ll probably have to let it run and see how it does

We used to have a couple of these Orecks until they both had died. I know they weren't like the best but they definitely did helped trap alot of dust especially with the Ionizer feature that killed the living germs.

The same one that was shown on TV commercials with a box full of smoke

I have two older models, one of the first ones, I found at Goodwill. They need to be cleaned out, but judging by how much crap is packed in them, they do work.

You have to clean the truman cell with a distilled water rinse and they also have a special spray that cleans it further. Let it dry then stick it back in.

Wait, am I supposed to use distilled water? Only?
