I don't know where I've been all my motherhood but life with smelly toddlers + an air purifier is significantly less smelly and a lot more pleasant than life with just smelly toddlers. I think I'm immune to it but Simon is always commenting on the odd smell that emits from Julia's quarters. Is it due to the fact that she still saturates a diaper overnight? Maybe. Is it due to the fact that her room is where we change 98% of the diapers soiled in this house? Maybe. Is it due to the fact that Sebastian hides all his used socks behind her cage? Most likely. Whatever the reason might be ... her room isn't a field of pleasantly pungent wildflowers. It's getting a little too chilly to keep her windows open all day and the musty smell of winter is just waiting to get his grubby paws on her lair.
Enter the AirInstinct 200 that Oreck generously sent me to put through the ringer. (Trumpets blaring). After just one night of the air purifier running in her room ... it smelled ... normal. It smelled like nothing which is exactly the way this pregnant nose likes thing to smell. And b-b-b-b-onus -- it makes NOISE (if you want it to). We have noise machines galore going at all times around here to keep people from waking up other people and to keep people asleep and to keep moms from hearing toddlers get into BIG trouble. We like our white noise.
AND .. one last little factoid. This bad boy is very lightweight (which I appreciate because it is about to be transported up to Sebastian's area of the cottage to work its magic there) but has taken kindly to Sebastian's maul-esque advances.
To win one of your very own and significantly improve your nose's quality-o-life just follow the Rafflecopter's prompts. Thanks much.
I would LOVE to win one of these. We've got some seriously stinky diapers at our house :)
ReplyDeleteI am not totally sure I entered the raffle right. i don't get high tech things. But I want that air purifier! My dogs make my house smell nastay.

ReplyDeleteAlso pregnant, also would like to smell nothing. I think I comment daily to my husband "what's that weird smell?" Learned that this air purifier would not take up an entire bedroom! space!
ReplyDeleteYeah, need this in my house. twin 2 year olds in diapers and a stinky 3 yr old = absolute NEED! Like seriously, pick.me. :)
ReplyDeleteJust visited oreck's site...pretty sweet that you don't have to worry about figuring out settings! Musty smells begone!
ReplyDeletePretty awesome that it adjusts its own speed!
ReplyDeleteI live were the air stinks and it isn't the kids fault. boo! This purifier would make all the little lungs in this house very happy indeed.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I NEED this. We actually need one and Tommy was saying we need one and now you're giving one away???? Give it to me!
ReplyDeleteI learned, ahem, that it senses the level of purification our (dirty dirty) air needs and adjusts itself. That is cray cray.
I need this.
I am "lucky" enough to live where the stink isn't caused by children. :-/ All the little lungs in this house would appreciate an air purifier.
ReplyDeletep.s. the only one I can't do is instagram because my dumb phone that pretends to be a smart phone won't instagram its ghetto self. Evil or what?
ReplyDeleteIt's $400 but it looks like it's worth every penny!!! I like that it adjust the speed automatically. I also like the 3 stage PATH filtration system. It's not just going to filter out garbage smells but it also cleans up harmful VOCs! Love this and we could REALLY use one!
ReplyDeleteUhh I work with college students...definitely could use this in my office. And that automatic color-coded speed function would be super useful since I never learned how to read... ;)
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you're giving one of these away! I feel like my house always smells like dust. It's so old, the smell is like built into the walls forever, like cigarette smoke.
ReplyDeleteCaptures 99% of dust...yes!!!
ReplyDeleteI learned that it's $500- my goodness!
ReplyDeleteMy house stinks. I should be ashamed but...meh!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd love to stick this in the diaper corner for a while.
ReplyDeleteNeed one so I can sleep thru husband's gas! And it looks like an iPhone - bonus!

ReplyDeleteOH! yes please! we're always fighting musty smells here...and our neighbors smoke so we can't keep our windows open :( I went to the website and learned that there are 4 different colors to show it's working and at what level...go auto mode!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I learned about the AirInstinct is that I want one.
ReplyDeleteWe have the same odor causing problems over in our neck of the woods. I'd love to give this a try! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI want this. I don't have kiddos, but I want this.
ReplyDeleteI've never entered a giveaway before but THIS I need. And it thinks for me?! perfect. Love the blog!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see if this gets rid of little boy smells in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would remove that little boy smell from the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteWith 3 children under age 3 and two in cloth diapers we need this!
ReplyDeleteWith 4 kids 6 and under, two teenagers, and another due in May - my house needs this. Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell, we're definitely smelly. Bring it!
ReplyDeleteI learned that the AirInstinct is, "smart, amazingly smart." This is good because my house with toddlers is stupid stinky!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI learned that it can take care of dust, pollen, and pet dander. Those are problems in my allergy-ridden home.
ReplyDeleteLove the design and definitely need some air purifying action in my home!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it'd be an awesome addition to our household. Pregnant nose here and my husband has severe allergies and asthma!
ReplyDelete4 boys. That's all I'm saying.
ReplyDeleteThis would be awesome since I have a new baby and a husband with insane allergies.

ReplyDeleteIt self adjusts??!! Amazingly perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIt's $500? And I could get this magical room purifying contraption for free? Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteI learned that it automatically adjusts to your smells...
ReplyDeleteYes please! 3 babies 2 and under. I need!
ReplyDeleteIt self adjusts!
ReplyDeletesign me up
ReplyDeleteI learned that Orek is smart...amazingly smart. (who writes for them? In addition to doing this little marketing thing for them, you should also re-write their product descriptions)
ReplyDeleteI learned that it is AWESOME!!! :) and it looks cool too!
ReplyDeleteNow I know that Joey and Julia are truly made for eachother's particularly pungent brand of crazy. Also, that bad boy adjusts for overnight diaper deliveries. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it looks like the giant iPhone I will never own. I really think I can theme a room around it.
ReplyDeleteI learned that for a visual person like me I can tell when it’s working and at what speed by its 4 color lighting system.
ReplyDeleteI learned that it continuously traps particles in the air... Which is perfect for someone with allergies like me!!
ReplyDeleteI want one. That is all.
ReplyDeleteMy house smells
ReplyDeleteWe have the same problem with Grace's room... Without Basher's sock stash, obviously.
ReplyDeletePretty cool that it adjust itself according to what it detects in the air...that means no thinking from me is necessary. Most things turn out better that way! :) Love this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYes yes pretty please!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love our white noise around here, too. This would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThere was a toddler vomit incident yesterday and it's pretty ... pungent around here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI learned it's smart... continuously checking air!? thats awesome!
ReplyDeletethe auto instinct!? aweeeesome! thanks, grace & oreck!
ReplyDelete(analise.hess at gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI so need an air purifier. It would be nice to be able to breathe AND not smell dirty diapers or cat smells. I like that it's self adjusting, too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, it does the thinking for you! I like the sound of that. Lord knows I need all the help I can get these days....
ReplyDeleteMy boys room could use this. It smells like boy. And wet dog. Even though we don't have a dog.
ReplyDeleteI love that it cleans 99/97% of the particles from the air. Both my kids have allergies so this would be great for our house! Also I just cleaned out my daughter's room this morning because it has a strange stale smell in it. This would save me from cleaning! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, will this work on our Midwestern can't-open-the-windows-for-five-months "stale" smell? I'd be down with that.
ReplyDeletePlease me!!!
ReplyDeletewow wow wow, 9 kids later and I just heard about this??
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping I win!!
Julie
Pick me, combo of allergies and baby mean that I've been looking for a quality air purifying system but can't justify the price.
ReplyDeleteYay for removing smells AND allergens. We've got a neighbor who smokes cigars outside ALL THE TIME and it makes our house smell like an old motel room. Ick.
ReplyDeleteYes please! I'm in a different mothering phase from you, so it is the stinky socks of odoriferous teens and pre-teens and their new body smells...gag, gag, gag.
ReplyDeleteOh dear we need this with stinky Trudy! :o) Love that it is continuously checking and adjusting btw...nice little feature!
ReplyDeleteI learned that the Oreck automatically adjusts itself according to your room's needs. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI love that it requires no thought from me :)
ReplyDeleteIt captures 99% of dust!
ReplyDeleteIt's smart and adjust speeds on its own.
ReplyDeleteThat's it's automatic - just want I need!! And it adjust to the needs in the room!
ReplyDeleteI've got five boys who are getting older and stinkier everyday! I need this in my life! Love the size of it and that it automatically adjusts.
ReplyDeleteI love that it changes its settings without involving humans! Genius.
ReplyDeleteWill it get rid of my husband foot odor? ha!
ReplyDeleteI learned that the air instinct looks like an iPhone. Neat-o!
ReplyDeleteLove this! We have dogs and this would be fantastic.
ReplyDeletehow cool! I love that it really has safety in mind...turning off automatically if the front panel is opened!
ReplyDeleteIt captures 99.7% of the particles that pass through its filter.
ReplyDeleteLove that this filter monitors the air quality and adjusts for you when set to auto mode! Would be so amazing in the office/ Dogs' room!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! Just visited Oreck's site, it's nice that you don't have to worry about the air flow speed and that it adjusts automatically. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for non-smelly kids rooms! I'd definitely get some serious use out of this beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to get this! My allergies drive me crazy!
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh fresh air without opening the windows to let all the arizona dust in my house?? i want one!
ReplyDeleteI love that it is auto-adjusting. I'm not so great with the technology!
ReplyDeleteIt's self adjusting! It asks you to make no decisions! Love! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI like that it has a 5 year warranty! I have two boys (5 and 2) and baby number 3 on the way and we could so very definitely use one of these!
ReplyDeleteI love that it monitors dust, that is a big deal at my house in the dusty mojave desert!
ReplyDeleteLove that it adjusts automatically. I wish everything in my house was automatic.
ReplyDeletemy house currently smells like a fart (husband, dog and gassy babe)...
ReplyDeleteso this would be a welcome item.
cheers.
ooohhhh!!! aaaahhhhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would LOVE this. From the website, it basically sounds like the Big Brother of air purifiers - knows when we have a stinky house and when to SPEED up the purifying. That I love.
ReplyDeleteLove that it works automatically... i have enough going on with two babies running around to worry about that!
ReplyDeleteoh, how i need this. please pretty please
ReplyDeleteOh, I would LOVE this. No more poop smell!!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to say I think it's so amazing it has a HEPA filter too!
ReplyDeleteHmm....it looks like a giant iPhone :) My allergic-to-the-dog husband would be all about his!
ReplyDeleteLove that the three-stage filtration system catches pet dander among other things! Minimizing the cat smell and dander that I breathe in daily would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the auto-adjusting. Seriously so cool. You would be sad at how bad our house smells.. what with cooking (when it happens, like once a month) and stinky diapers.
ReplyDeleteits smart! it monitors the air quality and adjusts accordingly! awesome!

If this really lasts for 3 years like the site says, it's definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI learned it weighs 15.1 pounds and has a 3-year odor filter and 4 Speeds, including low with Silence Technology®
ReplyDeleteI like that it has lights so you can tell when it's working and when it's not.
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I need this. Life with stinky kids in an urban environment? Hand it over.
DeleteAlso, we use white noise the way you use white noise. And I think if I didn't have my white noise, I'd just go ahead and cry.
I learned that it's sleek looking and self adjusting, unlike my 13 month old.
ReplyDeleteI learned that it's sleek looking and self adjusting, unlike my 13 month old.
ReplyDeleteI would just like for my apartment to not stink like the neighbors, so this would be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that it picks up dander so my house doesn't always smell like a zoo. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that it changes speed automatically.
ReplyDeleteI like that it has the option to be completely quiet, because my 3 year old is a crazy light sleeper, so noise during nap-time and at night is baaaad.
ReplyDeleteI learned that it is relatively light in weight, which is a huge plus for my back!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's light weight, self adjusts, and removes more than 99% of particulants!
ReplyDeleteAuto adjustment! I'm way too busy with. . .erm, the Internet. . . to bother changing it MANUALLY.
ReplyDeleteI learned that when set to automatic it does all the thinking for you
ReplyDeleteTheresa j
I love that it takes care of dander and dust - major problems in my house with 3 pets!
