WIN - Oreck Halo Flash Handheld Vacuum

More of us probably wipe off the grocery cart with disinfectant wipes than deal with what might be accumulating on our couch or mattress. According to a recent survey, less than half of adults have tried to kill germs on their furniture or mattresses. Now, Oreck introduces a new handheld device that kills germs on these surfaces without using chemicals.

This month, Oreck debuts the Oreck Halo Flash, the newest vacuum that uses UV-C light to kill germs on mattresses, upholstered furniture, diaper pads, yoga mats … the surfaces we touch most but rarely disinfect.

Now there is 2-in-1 cleaning in one simple step.

The New Oreck Halo Flash is Oreck's most powerful handheld canister vacuum ever, and the Flash attachment works at the speed you vacuum. Just vacuum like you normally would, and powerful UV-C light effectively reduces germs, bacteria, mold and viruses. Dirt and microbes found on all kinds of above-the-floor surfaces – like upholstery, tabletops, and mattresses - are quickly trapped in HEPA filter bags which capture 99.95% of particles down to 0.3 microns. The Flash attachment kills the bugs, and the vac sucks them up!

Patented virus-killing UV-C light chamber: the same light used in hospitals.

UV-C technology has been used for decades to purify drinking water and help sterilize hospital rooms. It’s proven to kill many germs, bacteria, viruses, dust mite and flea eggs, and mold, without the use of chemicals. It even kills the superbug MRSA, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that causes staph infections.

Helps you get to where the germs live.

With a 25 ft. power cord, the ergonomic and easy-to-use Oreck Halo Flash Vac can go anywhere – from appliances and changing tables, to upholstery and mattresses. And Infinite speed control lets you dial in exactly as much suction power as you need to suit your cleaning needs.

The Oreck Halo Flash Vac offers best-in-class performance against dirt and dust, and is quick, easy, and convenient to use. No extra time. No extra effort. Which makes it a better solution to get a healthier clean.
