Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum

The Halō Vacuum comes with the Halo vacuum with its 13 foot extension hose and 31 foot cord, a crevice tool and duster tool, extra HEPA filter bags and the manual. The filter bags are the heavy duty cloth filtering to catch a lot of dust and debris that is very small. These are the great bags to use and the HEPA 99.97% trapping of particles means great filtering for a better, healthier environment.
Where the Halo literally shines is the germ and bacteria killing UV-C ultraviolet light that kills what is left behind to ensure an overall cleaner environment. Allergy sufferers, kids, any one with breathing difficulties and those that need a cleaner more germ free environment would do well with one of these in their homes.
The obvious advantages of killing all those bugs and germs in your carpet are not overshadowed by using the Halō on your mattresses as well. Just run the vacuum over the mattress when you change out the sheets for an even cleaner bedroom. You can even hit the couch and chairs equally as well but you may not get the entire area of couch cushions as the vacuum needs to be level.
The Halō has all the standard features of household vacuums like the height adjustment, extension hose and a couple of attachments but where you will really be impressed is all these features in a good quality vacuum along with the health benefits of the germ and bacteria killing of the UV bulb.
Of course to actually test and find out for certain if the Halō performs the germ killing you would need to perform lab culture tests and other tests to see if the UV-C bulbs actually killed the things they say it does. The Halō Company has continuously tested their vacuums several times and had independent tests performed, confirming their product capabilities. Two tests that I think are very relevant are one for dust mites and one for fleas, the one test showed that all dust mite eggs are killed after four seconds exposure to the UV bulb while a one second exposure killed 97%.
The other test confirmed that a four second exposure killed all lice in the test group and further testing resulted in a 100% death rate of flea eggs and 91% of flea larvae death exposed to one second of the Halō. These independent test results can be viewed in a PDF format at the Halō website.
I am very glad I was able to find this kind of independent lab tests that used verified scientific research and testing to conclude the Halō does in fact kill bugs and pests we have crawling around our home. The Halō vacuum does a great job of vacuuming up the dust and debris I have but it also kills the bugs left behind. In continued use the Halō would reduce the amount of germs, bacteria and pests in the carpet and other surfaces you can vacuum. This would be a great addition to an allergy sufferer as well as health care facilities and day cares.
The Halō Ultraviolet Vacuum does a great job at not only vacuuming but in killing germs, bacteria and dust mites that may be present in your carpets. I highly recommend the Halō Ultraviolet Vacuum for a cleaner environment anywhere.
