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!

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!

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.
This is a great prize!
Sure hope to win.

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.

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.

My favorite feature is the most obvious one- the germ killing. Floors are just nasty even when they look clean.
It would make vacuuming so much more efficient. Zapping those little bugs while picking up dust and dirt.
A vacuume that kills germs? The UV light has to be my favorite part… I hate germs!

What an amazing product, I would feel much “cleaner” using this, having two cats!
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/ptownmoofus/status/6292158310
i like the fact that the filter doesn’t let the dust back into the room!

Kills germs, Lights Up, and all in one sweep-what first time mom of an 8 month old who uses that pincer grasp so well doesn’t need one of these? Seriously-I can’t get those little things off the floor fast enough.
I blogged!

2-in-1 cleaning power in just one easy step. The UV-C light kills many of the germs and microbes on your floors, and powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and other debris just like all of our trusted vacuums.
I love the Oreck Halo vacuum, the “world’s only UV-C germ-killing vacuum
With it’s HEPA filter, it gets more dust, etc.

The UV-C light that kills germs is the most unique feature of this item. Who would have thought about all the germs that just sit around after you vacuum. Using this will not only clean like normal, but kill those very unwanted germs that cause people to get sick most of the time. It’s a great product that should be in everyone’s home.

I love how the Oreck website explains how Dirt and Dust even Dead Microbes that can cause poor air quality and even sickness!
The Oreck Halo Vaccum can take that all away just by using it~
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 like the fact that the powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes, trapping them in the HEPA filter bag.
Oh, mine just bit the dust (so to speak) I really need a new one!
I like that it has a UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs on your floors i need one of these since i have kids with cystic fibrosis

I’ve been keeping our old vacuum going by doing regular maintenance, but I’d love to retire it completely!
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!

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.

I love that it kills germs. That would be really useful
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 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”.
The best feature would be the germ killing feature. Having three kids, everything under the sun get drug into the house.
Our vacuum is on it’s last leg…I would love to win this for my husband!
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.
2 in 1 cleaning in one easy step.
Putting a light on germs and killing them dead? Count me in.
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

The feature I love most about the Oreck Halo is that it “…can reduce up to 99.9% of bacteria and up to 90% of dust mite eggs on surfaces.”

My very favorite feature of the Oreck Halo vacuum is that it cleans in one pass! I also love that the Five-level height adjuster allows you to move from carpets and rugs to tile and hardwood floors with ease 🙂 Sounds like a “dream come true” kind of vacuum 🙂

My favorite feature is definitely the UV-C light that kills germs. Way cool and it would be such a stress-reducer knowing my rug was that much cleaner! Thanks for the awesome giveaway, guys!
ooohhh – love it!! I too would eliminate all our carpets if I could – we’re slowly doing it, but it will take YEARS to do as we’re wanting to replace with nice hardwood floors and those babies cost some big $$!!
I am in need of a new vaccuum.
A new vaccuum would be great. Especially one that doesn’t use chemicals.

I like that it can be used on all surfaces, including hardwood floors. I would never trust my current vaccuum (which is falling to pieces) to do that!

My favorite feature of the Halo is the HEPA13 filter bag. My husband has horrible allergies and it’s terrible when I vacuum because of the dust kicked up. This would make it so much better for him to breath!
Thank you!
