Carpets gross me out!
If I could afford to rip all our carpets out and put flooring down I would. The thought of all the germs clinging to the carpet fibers horrifies me. No matter how often I vacuum, I know I am not really “cleaning.” The carpet may look cleaner, but the bacteria, mold and dust mite eggs that were lurking beneath the dirt and dust are still there.
So when the opportunity to test out the Oreck Halo vacuum, the “world’s only UV-C germ-killing vacuum,” appeared in our inbox I jumped at the chance. Even if it doesn’t kill all the germs and bacteria on my floors, at least it is moving in the right direction!
According to Oreck, the Oreck Halo kills germs, bacteria, viruses, allergens and mold without using any chemicals or sprays.
This germ killing action is thanks to the Patented Halo light chamber. “The light produced by the patented Oreck Halo light chamber magnifies and concentrates ultraviolet light in the C spectrum. UV-C light is a natural source of light that the sun produces and can be a better alternative to harsh chemicals… Labaratory studies prove it to be effective at reducing bacteria, germs, and other contaminants on various floor surfaces.”
Now, I am no scientist and I have no lab at my disposal to test Oreck’s findings. But as I said, even the promise of some germ killing gets me excited. I have a toddler who eats off the floor and carpets that are a decade old!
“With each back and forth motion of the Oreck Halo, you’ll see up to an 80% reduction in the bacterial load found on carpet.”
– Dr. Stan Kikkert, Microbiologist
Here is a video demonstrating how the Oreck Halo works:
As for my home testing? I am pleased with the Oreck Halo and will be using it as my new vacuum. (I just have to hide it so Susan doesn’t steal it from me!) 
Although it isn’t the lightest or easiest to maneuver, the Oreck Halo has powerful suction and slides easily under furniture.
As well, according to Oreck, the Oreck Halo has disposable cloth dust filter bags made with one of the highest quality HEPA materials for maximum air filtration and home air quality that help trap 99.95% of the dirt and germ particles that the Oreck Halo kills and suctions from carpets and floors.
Overall, I feel like vacuuming with the Oreck Halo is helping to reduce the germs and allergens in my home — while I am easily vacuuming up all the visible dust, dirt, and debris. That makes it a win-win to me!

I like the UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs on your floors
I think that the best feature is that the Patented UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs on your floors.

I would love this vacuum for myself but even more to give to my mom!! I love that it helps with dust mites to which she has allergies! Awesome giveaway!
This vacuum has a UV-C light that kills many of the germs and microbes on the floor, including dust mites. I have asthma and that would really help me out

Putting a light on germs and killing them dead? Count me in.
2 in 1 cleaning in one easy step.
I like the UV germ killing feature. I have a saltwater fish tank and was amazed the improvement of my fishes health after adding a UV filter to the mix.
Our vacuum is on it’s last leg…I would love to win this for my husband!
The best feature would be the germ killing feature. Having three kids, everything under the sun get drug into the house.
I like that it has “Patented UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs on your floors – in just a few seconds. And it’s chemical-free”.
I live in a very old house (built in 1920) and while the electric service was updated, since it has plaster walls, not too many outlets were added. So the Halo’s 29-ft. power cord is a very important feature to me.
I love that it kills germs. That would be really useful

My favorite feature of this vacuum is that it kills many of the germs on the floor. I have been taking care of my granddaughter while my oldest daughter works and goes to school, so she is on the floor a lot. Even though I put down a blanket, she is figuring out how to scoot and will soon be crawling all over the place, so knowing that she is crawling on a truly clean floor would give me some peace of mind.

Killing dust mites and flea eggs is extremely important to me — I have five dogs and a host of allergies, despite keeping a clean & organized home. Perhaps a Halo could reduce my intake of Benadryl!
I’ve been keeping our old vacuum going by doing regular maintenance, but I’d love to retire it completely!

I like the fact that the powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes, trapping them in the HEPA filter bag.
I checked out the Christmas Giveaways page–
this is great! Now i can enter a few for This month.(This vaccum is greatly needed in my home!)
I love how the Oreck website explains how Dirt and Dust even Dead Microbes that can cause poor air quality and even sickness!

2-in-1 cleaning power: The UV-C light kills many of the germs and microbes on your floor; and, powerful suction removes dirt, dust and other debris. Comes with 1 year’s supply of HEPA13 filter bags!!

Nice you can turn the UV-C light on and off. The roller brush bring up the dirt so the UV light can kill the germs.

I like that it has powerful suction for my hairy dogs and that it kills germs for my kids.

I like that it sucks up/removes dust into the filter because that would be helpful for me because of my allergies. I also like that it kills germs. That’s the kind of thing makes you feel good about the vacumm you’re using. I could really us this vacumm as mine is going to die anytime now.
I need this so bad my vacuum just died on me and there is no better vacuum then a Oreck!
I would absolutely love to win this. My husband suffers from many allergies and needs a machine to breathe while he’s sleeping. This would help reduce some of his suffering!
Now that is something I can use.

the UVC light chamber.
My husband has allergies and we have nine cats. Allergy testing shows that my husband is not allergic to cats, but he is allergic to dust and trees and fragrances. The cats are very fastidious, but they leave a lot of a hair and hairballs behind. Those are all the reasons I’d love to have a beautiful new vacuum with a HEPA filter and an anti-germ light. I posted your button on the sidebar of my blog. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to post an extra comment about that or include it in this one, but anyway, it’s there.

NO WAY…A UV-C light that can kill microbes, eggs…eeewwwww. A HEPA filter. With a household of kids that have allergies and asthma…I NEED THIS. (come to think of it, maybe my old vacuum is wHY they have allergies and asthma).
OH, and I like the long cord. We have to clean our car carpets at home, and the cords are never long enough.

Thanks for the giveaway…The best features of the Oreck Halo in my opinion are that it comes with a year’s supply of HEPA13 filter bags (capturing 99.95% of particles down to 0.3 microns), and that the Halo’s unique UV-C light kills many of the germs and microbes on your floors & carpets.

I like that it’s a germ killer. With all my dogs goign in and out and us, that’s great not to mention it’s an Oreck! My Aunt has one and always brags, I’d like to brag to her about one of my own!
Thank yoou so much. I’ve been using our shop vac from the garage because our vacuum bit the dust long ago.
Woo Hooo! Thank you!

I like the fact it gets all the dust and dust mites but it also kills germs, With my asthma that’s important
I like the feature that it has germ killing action
Killing all those germs is the best feature…a gun would be too messy. [Usually, I'm not that violent, but someone's got to do something about those germs.]
I love that it only takes one time across the carpet to pick up all the dirt plus killing germs at the same time.

The Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner comes complete with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, you get 3 annual tune-ups to keep your Oreck Halo running like new for years to come.
Now that is confidence in a product, and makes it my favorite feature.

I love the self-sealing bags. I hate to take bags out of a vaccuum and the dust go flying everywhere.
Our vacuums keep dying I have gone thorough 4 or five in our seven year marriage and they have been great vacuum’s…

I love that its filter system prevents the dust from being redistributed into the air. My current vacuum picks up very little and makes a large portion of dust airborne.
After reviewing this I JUST LOVE IT!! I think that my favorite part about it is that it kills microbes and eggs and all the nastiness that is in our carpets!! We just got new carpet and this giveaway couldn’t have come at a better time!! I would have NO hard time throwing out my $50 Bissel!! A VACUUM IS#1 on my Christmas Wishlist!
