It’s here! It’s here! A new year, 12 chapters and 365 chances to make a difference in your life and those around you. Isn’t that an amazing way to look at it? Based on our enthusiasm and striving for change in January, I’m not opposed to a half-new-year on July 1st to re-evaluate and focus once again as well.
That said, I’m starting off 2018 with new vigor, focus (my theme for 2018 by the way), and definitely an itch to get my house in order for the new year. Purge, for sure, but balance it as well. Eliminate clutter and take care of what’s inside these four walls.
Inside these four walls, it can get a little stuffy, dusty and well, aroma-esque to put it mildly during the winter months. I love opening my windows in the spring and letting fresh air in but during the winter, we’re breathing the same air day in and day out, hopefully cycled through by our air exchange on our furnace as best it can. Because I have kids with asthma, love to cook year-round, and have a labradoodle, there are plenty of reasons why an air purifier is a sound investment for our household – for any household, really.
The Oreck Air Response Air Purifier has been a welcome addition to our household over the holidays with extra people in the house for gatherings, more cooking than usual, and of course us being homebound after Christmas when the temperatures plunged and no one was going anywhere! On sight, I loved this new home appliance because of how seamlessly it fits into our home decor. Previous air purifiers we’ve had were black and stood out. The sleek chrome colour matches our kitchen (smart design, on Oreck’s end!) and doesn’t stand out at all.
Designed for medium rooms like kitchens, living rooms and large bedrooms, the Oreck Air Purifier captures 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns – things like dust, allergens, pet dander and odors – making it the perfect household appliance for our main floor. Just check out these features:
Air Response is just that – the Oreck Air Response Air Purifier features DustSense which automatically monitors, detects and responds to harmful particles in your air.
One feature that I really like is the Air Quality Indicator Bar; it’s one thing to plug in an air purifier and walk away, hopefully having it work as designed, but it’s quite another to get an instant look at the air quality in your home at all times just by taking a look at the color on the bar. There’s no need to worry if the color changes to red for high – it just means your little Oreck is working hard to clean the air around you and your loved ones. Interesting thought for me upon noticing the color change one day from low to medium – without the air purifier I’d 1) have no idea the air quality had changed to that degree and 2) be doing nothing at all to improve it.
Other cool features include a replacement filter indicator and a built-in timer with auto shut-off so you can simply set it to run for daytime hours, for example, and not run through the night (or vice versa, I suppose, depending on your preference). You can definitely leave it on during daytime hours, because of the Silence Technology – I can’t hear a thing when it’s on!

My husband has sufferred with year round allergies for about 10yrs now….this would hopefully make a difference for him!
I’ve actually been looking at these! We just moved into our first home back in July (yeah mortgage š) and in September we had our vents and furnace cleaned since the last known date it had been done was in 2004 š¤¢ I’m allergic to dog hair and I could tell that when ever we turned on the air exchange I was coughing and sneezing. Needless to say since we had our vents cleaned things have befn good, but investing in a system like this one would make a world of difference.
This would be great to have, I have 2 dogs and a husband that smokes, so I would love this to keep my air clean for myself
I would love to have an air purifier because I have dog who is forever shedding and with the windows closed to keep the extreme windchill out my house is pretty stale this time of year.
Everybody could use this! , we have allergy issues and trouble breathing at night at times, air quality is always of the out most importance in any household!
I have trouble breathing at night so this would really help me. Plus we have allergies and with all the windows sealed up this would really help clean the stale air.

The filters for our home unit does an okay job but some of us need a level of filtration that the unit can’t manage (it’s not bad but there’s a lot of discomfort). It would be expensive to get an entirely new unit so receiving the Oreck unit would make some of us a lot more comfortable in our home and make our allergies more manageable.

We have a dog and a cat, and no matter how much we clean, the air still isn’t clear. This would help us breathe easier.
I would love this as my house is always so dusty and my son smokes and it would be great to have cleaner air to breathe, living in a mobile home it seems dustier than most houses and since we are located right behind an industrial park we get a lot of dust off that
My son has asthma so knowing what we are up against with particulates irritating his breathing would allow us to more accurately preventatively medicate.
My hubby and kids have allergies, and this would help!
We have a dog and I would love to have an air purifier in our family room.
With both a cat and dog in the house you can imagine the allergens in the air, I would love to try this out and see the difference it can make!
I think this would help me sleep better if it was in my bedroom
Due to bad building my heating doesn’t work too well and to get heat into my apartment I have to use the simplest filter available in my furnace. This of course means that not much at all in the way of particles is filtered out before warm air comes into the rooms. This would certainly improve the air quality for me and help me breathe easier.
Our house is close to 100 years old, and I’m sure some of the dust in here is, too, no matter how hard I try to keep up with it!
My hubby has allergies so this sounds like it would help him sleep better.
We could really use an improvement in the air quality in our home!
