Congrats to winner 903 Bridget for winner the Oreck Hao Vacuum…

I had the chance to test out an Oreck Halo Vacuum Cleaner. When I received the box I was very excited to take it out of the box and give it a try. Of course all the daycare kids were watching me as I open the big box wondering what was in it. I was really expecting a lot of pieces to put together but I was very surprised. I took it out of the box and the only thing I had to put on was the handle. It was very simple to put on. It also has two attachments and the hose that came with it. Soon as I got the vacuum together I plugged it right in and went ahead and gave it a try. I was very amazed at all the dirt that it got up. I actually saw the dirt vibrating to the vacuum. Here is a look at how the vacuum cleaned…

Make sure your sound on your speakers are not up to loud.

I did not have to go over the spot over and over to get up the crumbs. As you saw I went up once and back once and the floor was clean. I have vacuumed with it several of times since then and loved how it picked up the dirt. I used the hose around the base boards and it had wonderful suction.

Here are some features that theOreck Halo 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.

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.

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

Weighing about 17 lbs., the rugged design makes it easy to use.¹

Above the floor Cleaning: 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.

Wide cleaning path and a 29-ft. power cord let you clean quickly and efficiently, reaching every corner of your home.

Five-level height adjuster allows you to move from carpets and rugs to tile and hardwoods with ease.

The other feature I like is the UV-C light to kill germs. There are a lot of germs on the floor that regular vacuums don’t get.

Halo UV-C Technology: How it works

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.

Proven germicidal benefits

UV-C light has long been known for its germicidal benefits, killing many microorganisms by disrupting their cellular DNA. Laboratory studies prove it to be effective at reducing bacteria, germs, and other contaminants on various floor surfaces

I have been using bag less vacuums for a few years now so going back to a bag vacuum was a downfall. I don’t mind using bags but I like to be able to not having to buy bags and worrying about not having any in the house when I need them. I do like that its a Hepa Filter Bag. The less germs in the house the better.

Oreck Halo is available for $599.95 on Oreck’s Web site or by calling Oreck directly at 1-888.600.HALO.
