A review of the Oreck Halo

by

My babies aren’t babies anymore, but they still love to crawl around and play on the floor, so I try to vacuum, sweep, and/or mop often to keep it as clean as possible. It’s hard to tell if it’s really clean, though. There can be more germs on household floor surfaces than on toilet seats, kitchen counters and bathroom tiles combined.* This is why I was so interested in reviewing the Oreck Halo.
oreck-halo

The Oreck Halo is a new vacuum that features UV-C technology, the same type of germicidal light used for sterilization in hospitals and water purification plants. This UV-C light kills germs, bacteria, viruses, allergens, and mold, all without the use of any chemicals.

This all sounds very technical, but in reality this vacuum is just as easy to use as any other upright vacuum.

  • After unpacking it, it’s ready to use in minutes. You just have to screw the handle in, connect a couple of other parts, and put the attachments in their designated spots.
  • It turns on with a button located on the handle. I like that I don’t have to reach down or use my foot to turn it on.
  • Set the carpet height on the side of the vacuum. This setting will be saved for when you use it again.
  • Press the foot lever to incline the handle.
  • Hold the trigger in the handle to activate the UV-C light. The Oreck Halo logo will light up indicating that it’s working.
  • Vacuum as you normally would. It weighs 17 lbs and has a 29-foot power cord, so it’s not terribly hard to move from room to room. You can turn the brushroll off with the flick of a button on the handle, to move seamlessly from carpet to hard floors.

This video shows you what it’s all about:

So does it work?
The Oreck Halo UV-C technology has been tested by industry-leading scientific experts* that have found that it kills many common microorganisms and viruses instantly upon exposure… more than 99 percent of many common types of germs! As for its vacuuming capabilities, this vacuum is excellent at picking up dirt and debris from my carpet and floor. It glides nicely over my carpet, without much effort on my part. Much better than the Dirt Devil that I was previously using. It’s kind of nice not having to empty out a canister and inhale all the dust that inevitably would rise up from it! The Oreck Halo has a HEPA 13 filter bag that’s made of a tightly woven fiber that won’t let anything escape. I’m not sure how long I can go between changing bags, but at around $3 a bag, the price of replacements isn’t too bad. The attachments are what typically come with an upright vacuum – a detachable hose, crevice tool, and brush. The hose can reach up to 13 feet, which is great for getting into corners and under furniture.

Is it safe?
We all know that direct exposure to UV-C light can be dangerous, but the Oreck Halo has built-in safety features to ensure that proper use will not cause any harm to people or pets.

  • You have to press a trigger in the handle to activate the UV-C light. If you let go, the UV-C light will automatically turn off even though the vacuum will keep operating.
  • The hatch on the light chamber must be tightly closed. If it opens for some reason, the UV-C light automatically turns off.
  • All four wheels must remain flat on the ground. If one of the wheels loses contact with the ground, the UV-C light automatically turns off.

Buy it!
Ideal for parents worried about their kids crawling and eating something off the floor, for pet owners, or for those people that suffer from indoor allergies, the Oreck Halo retails for $599.95 and can be purchased online or at your nearest Oreck Clean Home Center. Oreck offers a 3 year warranty on the vacuum, including three free tune-ups, and a 5 year warranty on the UV-C light bulb. It’s easily serviced at any one of the 450 Oreck stores across the United States.

Of course I can’t tell if the Oreck Halo is truly killing 99.9% of the bacteria found in my carpet and on my floors, but the peace of mind that it gives me and just the quality of the vacuum itself is worth the purchase price. I love that I’m vacuuming and killing germs in one step.

    Thanks so much for the great Oreck Halo giveaway. I have researched this company and it is a fantastic company so I’m sure their products are excellent.

  206. With 3 dogs, fleas are my enemy. I’d love anything that killed them easily!

  212. It kill’s anthrax, e. coli, polio virus and many more. This is unbeliveable. I always saw commercials about this awesome vaccuum but I never knew about everything it kills. good think you did this review and thanks for a great giveaway.

  220. One of them is Rhinovirus. This is such a wonderful prize. We really need a new vacuum. Thanks for offering this chance.

  224. With one dog and two cats,Fleas and their eggs are the enemy-this vacuum is great.

  264. I would LOVE this – with cats and kids who knows what is lurking in my carpets. One things it kills – e.coli

  270. I like the oreck halo it look like it is nice to have, and i see it kills germs very nice. I would love to have one of those.

  271. I would love to win this vacuum. I hate the one I have now. Every vacuum I buy turns out to be a dud. My husband says I am not allowed to buy any more vacuums. So I guess he will be doing that.

  276. Awesome product, what would be really cool is if it had the UV Light on the wand too so it could kill all the critters in my couch!

  285. It kills flea eggs AND dust mite eggs. It almost makes me want to go back to hardwood floors! Yuck.

  293. It kills flea eggs. eew I don’t even want to think about all those nasty buggers that could be in my carpet. our place gets dusty so we’ve prob. got dust mites, gross. here’s hoping I win and I can kill the lil suckers! : )>

  310. Kills viruses, dust mite eggs, flea eggs, bacteria,mold. and it kills e.coli also

  312. It kills E. Coli and dust mites – two of my least favorites things to have around the house!!

  319. It kills flea eggs, with a child who suffers from Asthma this would be great to reduce allergens.

  328. It kills Dust Mites and so many others, this is great and I would love to have it!
    Thanks for the chance 🙂

  353. Wow, as a pet owner I could really use this! Love that it kills dust mite eggs and the rhinovirus.

  354. It kills e.coli and dust mites, who couldn’t use that (especially with two pooches tracking things into the house)

  355. ooh…interesting. I like the idea of it killing dust mites. NOTHING more embarrasing than friends who are allergic to dust getting stuffed up and sneezy at my house (despite my best cleaning attmepts!)

  358. Wow kills dust mites and ecoli! How great! Thanks for the chance at such a super product!

  359. Kills E. coli, dust mites, and the rhinovirus. Help for colds, allergies and infections. How cool is that.

  363. I Oreck Halo helps kill the Rhinovirus. Thanks for the awesome prize and the great giveaway.

  364. I thought it was interesting that it can kill Polio Virus, but the mold would probably be of more interest to me along with the Dust Mite eggs. I’d be even more interested if it could eliminate lice, just because when we have even a hint of a possible infection of someone within a mile or two of us, we go on a cleaning frenzy. 🙂 Something that would suck the little things up and eliminate them would be quite welcome.

  365. I have 2 dogs & I feel so much better after vacuuming, so I can imagine having this product!

  366. I like the fact the Oreck Halo kills mold. Our home was damaged from the hurricane’s of 2004 in Florida and ever since we have had a problem with mold that drives me nuts and I know is so unhealthy. It would be wonderful to have a vacuum cleaner that actually fights against that and the brand Oreck is one of the best too. I used to own a cleaning service and one of my customers owned one and it was the best vacuum I have ever used, period. It’s so lightweight too you could push it with one finger..lol.

    Thanks so much for the giveaway! 🙂

  376. I see it kills dust mite eggs…

  645. I have a dog rescue and they track in a lot of dirt. Plus, all households have dust mites and this vacuum helps eliminate those, and other things such as flea eggs.

  647. Ok this giveaway is the stuff dreams are made of. One that I need to completely detach myself from the outcome or else I will invision myself winning and the odds are pretty bad in my favor. Thinking positive though.

    As for microorganisms that the Oreck kills – dust mite eggs, flea eggs. Any kind of egg does not belong in my carpet. With a cat a dog and a kido, it’s scary to think what is hinding in there. That’s why I really hate carpet because you can’t get it really clean like you can tile or wood. Maybe Oreck can :))

    Wish me luck! Good luck to us all!

See I have a son who was in car accident in Oct of 08 and he is now Paralized from the neck down, I am trying to get him brought home and he can get sick real fast and continue to make trips back and forth to hospital.

  851. I had a feeling that I had not entered. I’d love the HALO vacuum. I’m kind of a vacuum killer….3 dead, 1 semi-dead vacuums in my house. And the microorganism I hate the most “dust mite eggs.

  858. It kills dust mite eggs and mold, major yuck thinking we are walking on that and don’t even know it.

  860. The Oreck Halo kills mold. I’m allergic to mold so that would be a big benefit to me.

  862. It kills the flu, and flea eggs. We have 3 big Dogs, so this would be a blessing for us. Thanks.

  863. It can kill th eggs of dust mites, something I am highly allergic to and that keeps me sneezing all night.

  975. It kills many microscopic germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs. How cool, I could really use a new vacuum. I have two little dogs that run in and out of the house. It would be so nice to know that i can get rid of dust, dirt and germs with an Oreck Halo! Thankyou

  981. In addition to viruses, bacteria, and mold, I like that it also kills dust mite eggs, fleas, and even lice!

  995. I didn’t know that the light was dangerous… I like how they gave that some extra thought.
    Nice vaccum, wish I could afford one!
    Thanks,

  1058. it kills flea eggs and dust mite eggs thanks so much for the chance to win

  1063. Dust mite eggs…flea eggs….eww. I remember a long, long time ago, I was at my grandma’s house when I saw my first Oreck vacuum commercial. I have wanted one since then. I haven’t seen this Oreck until now. My vac barely picks up dirt, and its little headlight is out. There is no germ killing going on here (shudder)!

  1064. E.Coli and Anthrax. I’m very interested in getting rid of E. Coli in any way. My oldest daughter when she was 3, contracted E. Coli and it went into complications. She’s turning 14 this month but ever since, I’m always on the lookout for ways to get rid of that!

  1069. It can kill lice! This thing is a killing machine(in the best possible way)!
