This vac was made in Korea for the German Karcher company. Cool sleek power nozzle!
There was an era when East Asian vac-makers offered "dust mite killing" modes on their machines. I think the vacs basically killed the dust mites in the bag with heat....weird. I love this cleanerphile's vacuum videos! Bravo to you if you are reading this my friend!!! Keep up the good work and we'll all nominate you for an Academy Award! :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

that it uses a UV-C lamp on the nozzle to basically blast any pests (dust mites, bed bugs, bacteria, etc) with ultraviolet radiation and then suck them into a HEPA bag. That was the case, anyways, with the Halo vacuum cleaner from several years back. I'm not really sure how it works, to be honest. Kinda neat. |

It doesn't work, Oreck got slammed when they could no longer advertise the Halo as a dust-mite-killing machine! They still sold them for awhile, just without telling people about that great purple light! I have a Halo, and while the light does look cool, it isn't very effective! I don't even remember if the one on mine worked! The Halo is like a plastic (modern) Kirby, it's big and bulky, but looks cool! If you ever happen upon one, buy it! They're getting rare! I rarely see them now,I remember when the original Halo was still on sale at my local Sears! |
