Hi Carmine, Thanks for the heads-up. The price is nice and I would think for a hundred bucks it may be okay. The customer reviews at the Costco site regarding this machine were not great however. Only one of four reviews posted there favored this machine. (I think these reviews came in while it was being sold at higher price.) Venson

I have heard talk of a new Canister and Air Purifier with Halo ....Maybe Oreck will put it to good use. i wasnt impressed with the Halo Vac as the suction isnt as good as my XL21 or that the fact that my vac virtually pulls itself along..As far a germ killing goes...if we dont ever have germs and get sick from time to time, will our immune systems ever have a chance to get stronger..Im sure its great for newborns and helth ridden children..but not for everyone.

Hey guys it's been a while but I thought I'd check in... I work at a vac shop and have seen a few of these units come in for repair. So far the failures have been cord, switch and brush bearing/hair issues. Unfortunately there are no OEM parts. And their customer service by phone takes 2 weeks for a response and email takes about a week. Aside from the failures mentioned the units seem to be very sturdy, but open the hood and whoa.. looks like a problem waiting to happen.

Hello hoovergroover:
Thanks for checking in here and updating us on the failings of the halo. I wondered if ORECK had purchased the liabilities for parts and warranty repairs on these halos when it bought the rights. But it appears ORECK didn't burden itself with any of the past halo ills. Smart move on ORECK to buy just the future rights. Eliminates competition for ORECK brand. Carmine D.
