Oreck Air Cleaner

Excuse me for a moment while I sound like a commercial, but I want to rave about our Oreck Air Cleaner.  I keep it in the bird room and had to clean it today, and it never ceases to amaze me when I see all the dust that it’s trapped.  I usually clean it about once a month (whenever it starts making a “popping” sound), and it’s always filled with cockatoo dust.  Filled!  Every nook and cranny of the pre-filter is 100% cockatoo!  I swear I could mix the dust with some glue and water and build myself a dozen new cockatoos with all the junk that the air cleaner traps.  I’ve only got one small Goffin’s cockatoo, too, so it’s not like I’m living with a flock of umbrella cockatoos… it’s just the Goffin’s and 5 other birds, none of whom produce anything like cockatoo dust.  We keep a second Oreck Air Cleaner in the hallway outside the bird room, and while it doesn’t get as dirty, it still traps an incredible amount of dust.  I’d like to pick up a couple more during Oreck’s current “buy 1, get the second half-price” offer, and put one in the master bedroom and one downstairs.  They’re not cheap initially, but well-worth the investment in the long run when you don’t have to buy expensive replacement filters.  I’ve got two inexpensive Honeywell air cleaners sitting in the garage, unused, simply because I don’t want to pay $60+ for new HEPA filters, plus 15+ for pre-filters.  So, the Orecks do the job, and they do it for a great price.  If you’ve got pets, especially birds, I’d highly recommend it.
