Oreck Halo Review: Bacteria-Killing Vacuum Cleaner

July 19, 2009

Oreck Halo

The Oreck Halo is a 2-1 floor cleaning machine. It works in two ways: one as a standard upright vauum cleaner, and lastly, as a bacteria killing floor cleaner. It is designed to be the ultimate carpet cleaning machine, because it can pick up the visual obstructions, and kill the unseen bacteria lurking in your carpets.

The Oreck Halo uses  ultraviolet light to kill:

  • Dust Mite Eggs
  • Viruses
  • Bacteria
  • Flea Eggs
  • Lice
  • Mold

Oreck Halo Overall Rating: ★★★★½

Oreck Halo Review Analysis:

Features: Some complain that the button for uv light cleaning has to held on, whenever you want to kill bacteria.

The Oreck Halo has been independently tested by top scientists, and the UV-C light has been proven to kill more than 99.9% of common germs and more than 90% of dust mite eggs.

Other Features of the Oreck Halo include:

  • 3 year warranty that includes 3 free annual tune-ups
  • 5 year warranty on the UV-C bulb
  • 17-Pounds
  • HEPA 13 Filter Bag

Performance: There have not been a lot of reviews on this vacuum’s suction performance. The ultraviolet bacteria-killing light seems to overcloud users, neglecting them every mentioning the vacuums performance.

Value: Based on the $599 purchase price, the vacuum does seem to be in the price range for premium vacuum purchasers. But without enough reviews, we cannot review the Oreck’s Halo value and longevity.

Oreck Halo Reviews:

“The one thing I will mention that is keeping me from giving it 5 stars is when I first bought it I had to send it back for a manufacturing defect. Oreck was great and sent me a new model right away. Ever since then the UV light has worked great so I’m hoping that they have worked out the problems from the early models. Since it is a new technology I expected to have a setback or two so it didn’t bother me like some of the other reviews I have read.” – User Review
