Including a $120 repair back in 2007 I will never purchase a bagless or Dyson again, my two year old can suck harder then my Dyson. I plan to test drive the Halo complete with hair samples from my Labradore. I purchased the purple Dyson back in 2005 for $500+ and loved it the first year, then it went completly downhill.

I saw an Oreck Halo at my local Oreck store in Charlottesville, VA today. I'm not sure that I like the Halo better than a normal Oreck - but the UV light is a great idea!<br /><br />My Family has been using Oreck vacuums for about 12-13 years now - they work really well. You can usually find better deals in the stores than you can online, tv, etc. <br /><br />I do use a Dyson downstairs, in my basement and it does a good job - it's just so heavy!<br /><br />Thanks for the review Amy, it's got me thinking about trying one out...

I do use a Dyson downstairs, in my basement and it does a good job – it’s just so heavy!

Thanks for the review Amy, it’s got me thinking about trying one out…

The company just contacted me to review it for the website. I didn’t get paid or pay to review the product. The company just contacted me to review it for the website.

Maybe I could help a little with the Oreck and Dyson. I do work for Oreck. However, to try to stay neutral, I just want to mention that Oreck stores have the Oreck Vs. Dyson challenge right now. There are Orecks priced very comparable to Halo.<br /><br />Drop me an email if you want to know more. I don't like to sell things unless someone wants me to :)<br />timothy.gibson@yahoo.com Hi!

I have been trying to find reviews for this product all morning on the internet without much luck. <br /><br />I am debating between Halo, Oreck and Dyson. Its a bit like comparing apples and oranges, but knowing the Halo does not come with tools was really important for me. Could you illuminate on the Oreck or Dyson as well?
