Oreck Halo Germ-Killing Vacuum: Review and Giveaway

by

hypothesis The new Oreck Halo Germ-Killing UV-C Vacuum will make this busy Mom’s life easier by creating carpets that not only look shampooed, but by providing a healthier carpet for my family.

materials

One Oreck Halo Vacuum, my old area rug that has seen better days (including an aging dog and many child illnesses), and me!   About the Oreck Halo Germ-Killing UV-C Vacuum:

oreck“The Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner features two powerful motors. The first motor drives the powerful roller brush that agitates the carpet, bringing debris and germs up and exposing them to the UV-C light that can kill them. The second motor generates incredible suction; dirt and microbes are quickly trapped inside the HEPA13 filter bag.

The Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner picks up dirt and debris in virtually one pass, and works great on any floor surface – carpet, tile, even hardwood floors. Attachments include a 13 ft. detachable hose, crevice tool, and brush that quickly click-lock into place and let you easily clean stairs, drapes, furniture, corners, and all kinds of fabrics.”

results Last Christmas, my entire family came down with the stomach virus.  It was very much NOT fun.  This holiday season, I was determined to keep us all healthy so we could enjoy the festivities and the company of family and friends.  I made the girls wash their hands frequently, used hand sanitizer, scrubbed my bathrooms, and did just about anything I could think of to try and keep the germs away.

So, you can imagine how excited I was to be able to do a product review on the new Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner!  Confused?  How do vacuums and germs have anything to do with one another?  Well, this vacuum not only removes dirt from your home, it kills germs, too!  And the even better news is that it does it all in ONE easy step!  The UV-C light chamber kills many of the germs, bacteria, dust-mites and flea eggs that plague or carpets in a quick, chemical-free fashion.

Carpet bacteria found before and after vacuuming with the Oreck Halo.
Carpet bacteria found before and after using the Oreck Halo.

Weighing in at just 17 pounds, I noticed immediately that it was lighter than my current vacuum (a definite plus in my book!).  In just a few moments, I plugged in the 29ft. cord and was off and running.  I like that with just the touch of a single button, I can change the height of the brushes which allows me to move from carpet to hardwood in a snap.

Pushing the vacuum was very easy, too!  I did not find it hard to maneuver at all.  The attachments (gotta love the 13 ft hose) allowed me to easily clean my fan blades and my couches.  The vacuum did an excellent job removing the dog hair that my beagle leaves behind and I was comforted knowing that the UV-C light was taking care of the germs too little for me to see trapping them in the HEPA13 filter.

hypothesis

Overall, I really liked the Oreck Halo vacuum.  It was easy to use, maneuver, and did a thorough job and collecting the dirt on my floor.  I also love the peace of mind the Oreck Halo gives by killing germs with it’s UV-C light and trapping them in the HEPA13 filter. This upright vacuum does require the purchase of specialized bags.  The Oreck Halo can be purchased directly from Oreck for $599.99.

  1107. Powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes, trapping them in the HEPA filter bag. DEAD MICROBES!! That dosent sound good but if there dead I still dont want them floating in my air!

  1112. Germ-Killing…Germ-Killing…Germ-Killing..Those words,germ killing,is the magic words.We all are concerned about germs and finding a vacuum that actually kills germs…gosh,that is just like magic.

  1261. For me, it’s the HEPA 13 filtration system. The image of “dead microbes” under my bare feet is enough to make me want to put a sidecar on the vac and ride around in it until the floors are clean!

    Erica

  1587. I like the germ killing aspect. We are stuck inside a lot in the winter and I worry about getting the Flu or other breathing problems. This would be great!

  1641. It makes me wonder how we all survived prior to all these “germ killing” inventions. I am thrilled that it will SUCK UP ALL DIRT without hesitation – a plus in my book. And, thanks to their UV-C, we will be germ free since it will kill them on the spot!

  1647. I like that it has a hose that extends 13 feet , mine only reaches about 4 feet so when I use it I constantly have to drag the vacuum closer.

  1798. I love that it transitions well from hard flooring to carpet. We have hardwood floors and area rugs and it’s always a pain.

  1920. Vacuuming and killing germs at the same time is AWESOME! And my favorite thing about the Halo. How coudl it NOT be?

  1922. I have 2 older oreck vacuum sweepers and they are the best on the market.
    I would love to have this one also

  2050. “including a hose that extends 13 feet,” Oh YES… that would be great. The way my bed is, I have to put my current old nasty vacuum on my BED so the hose will reach to where I need it. 🙂

  2051. Following you:

    my Twitter name is shootmenowblog

    (crossing fingers and toes! I have gastroparesis. When I get the flu, I am down for more than a week and get almost hospital sick. Having this vacuum would be amazing!)

  2192. I love that it kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs on your floors – in just a few seconds.

  2231. Wow! I thought that dyson’s sounded awesome until I read about the Oreck Halo! My daughter has bad ecezema and we are constantly struggling to keep her skin from looking terrible. I vacuum the house once a day with a cheap $40 vacuum and it takes me way longer then it would with this bad boy! I was drawn to the part where it said it picks up dust and dirt in one stride and kills germs while at it! Awesome!

  2344. What drew me to Halo was the fact that it kills germs, removes microbes. I have 2 cats who not only leave hair everywhere but I can only imagine what else!

  2393. I gotta be honest in saying that the name itself drew me to this vacuum cleaner! I have seen the name on TV for years and have always wanted to try one. The germ killing aspect of it also as I have a 10 month old little girl who is constantly crawling all over my floors.

  2456. I really like that it can go from carpet to hard floors with just a flick of a switch. That will come in handy.

  2481. I learned about how the first motor drives the roller brush to bring dirt and GERMS to the surface. Then the UV-C light kills them. What an amazing idea. Anything that cleans well, reduces the work load AND kills germs is an incredible find in my book.

  2663. The fact that the Oreck Halo is light in weight draws me. I dont have much upper body strenght so this is a plus for me.

  2675. I like that it removes potentially harmful microbes from the floors. The fact that it has such a great warranty means it’ll do its job for years, making the Halo well worth the money!

  2739. Seriously, it is the killing germs AND cleaning the house at the same time. And I need a vaccum SO badly as ours is dying! Thanks!!

  2826. I like that it only weighs 17 pounds. I hate lugging heavy things up and down the stairs. The five level height adjuster is also useful.

  2885. My favorite features are the Germ killing UV-C Light, the Hepa filter and the 29ft. Cord.

    Thank you so much for the chance to win.

  2915. This is what drew me to Oreck:

    “The new Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner makes it easy to clean your floors of dust, dirt, and debris, and kill many of the germs that could be on your floors at the same time. No extra effort. No extra time. Just vacuum like you normally would!”

  2934. Since I have a variety of floor coverings in my home, the specification that most appeals to me is the five-level height adjuster allows you to move from carpets and rugs to tile and hardwoods with ease. Even though I tend to lean towards run on sentences 🙂 this Oreck Halo would be perfect for me!

    Thank you.

  2942. What I liked is that the powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes, trapping them in the HEPA filter bag

  2943. That it helps get rid of dust mite eggs, flea eggs, mold, bacteria, germs, and other microorganisms since I have many allergies.

  2952. I like the 2 features best of 2-in-1 cleaning power in just one easy step. The UV-C light kills many of the germs and microbes on your floors& that it Comes with 1 year’s supply of HEPA13 filter bags, thanks for the chance to win it

  2958. I love the fact that 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.

  2968. My daughter has allergys & asthma & The fact that the first motor drives the powerful roller brush that agitates the carpet, bringing debris and germs up and exposing them to the UV-C light that can kill them is important to me.

  3012. Comes with 1 year’s supply of HEPA13 filter bags, which capture 99.95% of particles down to 0.3 microns.

    This fact alone makes me want to own the Halo! Thanks!

  3014. The ability to kill all the crud! It makes me scary what’s in my carpet with 3 dogs, 2 cats and a husband!

  3017. The feature that draws me to the Oreck Halo is that it uses UV-C light while you vacuum to kill many of the germs that are on the floor. To me, without that feature it’s just another vacuum! 🙂

  3018. I like the soft grip with power switch, brushroll switch, and UV-C on/off switch which makes the Oreck Halo easy to use.

  3019. I have been drooling over the Halo for a while,
    Carpet can be the most germ-ridden surface in your home. It can contain approximately 200,000 microbes of bacteria per square inch, and as many as 100,000 dust mites per square yard.

    After knowing that I think everone should have a Oreck Halo

  3020. I liked the fact that it comes with a hose and other accessories so I can get under the sofa without having to move it.

  3038. 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.

  3039. The patented UV-C light that kills germs, dust mites, etc. is what draws me to the Oreck Halo. I would absolutely adore owning one.

  3046. I have a baby with asthma, the germ killing benefit of this vacumn cleaner would be the best thing for our household.

  3059. I love this:
    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.

  3062. The germ-killing light is the number one feature for me. When I first got married, hubby told me that their furnace, when he was growing up, had a blue light on it they called the “germ light.” He said they were never sick, until the furnace had to be replaced and no germ light. I had never heard of such a thing, but now they’re coming into fashion, and I believe that they work.

  3074. Definitely the dust mite an allergen factor. I have 10 cats and 4 dogs and dander everywhere. A great vacuum is a must in my house.

  3079. The Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner comes complete with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, you get 3 annual tune-ups

  3082. I like the germ killing UV light. It’s so innovative and a much better alternative to harsh chemicals.

  3093. As a Mom- when they mention “one pass” cleaning- I’m all over that! I have wood floors & inevitably, it’s always taken more than one pass to clean up whatever the 2 boys leave behind in their wake! I could really relax with a one pass cleaning spree!

    ~also rt-ing from twitter! @FLboyzmom

  3102. It kills dust mite and flea eggs. Due to where I live and the fact that we have indoor pets…both could be issues for us.

  3107. I like that the powerful suction removes dirt, dust, and dead microbes, trapping them in the HEPA filter bag. Thanks for the chance to win!

  3124. Of course, I’m all about the germ killing! 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.

  3133. The powerful suction and the fact that it easily moves from carpet to floor with no issue definitely draw me to the oreck halo vacuum.

  3135. I love this: the roller brush engages or disengages, allowing you to seamlessly go from carpets to bare floors. This is a great prize. I feel like my floors are still dirty after using my old vacuum. It’s not a good feeling!

  3136. I was drawn to the Halo because lots of bloggers are giving one away, so they much have a huge amount of faith in their product to give away so many of them.

  3149. With a household of 8, two dogs, a cat, and a living room that ‘magically’ transform into a afterschool game room and pizzeria each weekday, we’re ‘definitely’ in need of a new vacuum cleaner!

    Our current one is ‘soooooooooooooooooooooooooo old’ (I think Noah used it on the Ark), it takes nearly twenty minutes just to ‘warm up’!

    And considering that we have both ‘carpet’ and ‘hardwood floors’ in our home, the ‘Oreck Halo’ would be perfect for ‘our’ household!

    And the fact that it’s great at killing germs hidden in your carpet is an added ‘bonus’!

    Please, include my family and I into your giveaway drawing!

    Thanks for the chance to win and GOOD LUCK to all!

    singermagic1(at)yahoo(dot)com

  3229. Since half our house is carpeted and the other half is wood or tile, I like that “with a flick of a button, the roller brush engages or disengages, allowing you to seamlessly go from carpets to bare floors.”

    email in blogger profile.

  3364. The germ/bacteria killing features are especially important to us as my immune system in currently chemo-impaired and my husband recently underwent hip replacement surgery to we both must be EXTREMELY careful about not getting infections. The UV-C light can trap the germs (etc)in the HEPA13 filter.

    I also appreciate the fact that it can pick up that fine pet fur/hair that come vacuum cleaners miss and doesn’t require that you purchase special vacuum bags.

  3377. The fact that the Oreck Halo vacuum cleaner picks up dirt and debris in virtually one pass, and works great on any floor surface – carpet, tile, even hardwood floors, draws me into the Halo.

  3386. I visited Oreck and the thing that drew me to the Halo was the fact that it has a Hepa 13 filter and that it kills germs while you are vacuuming! I could really really use this cause we have ‘a few’ pets including a ferret!
