I just don't hold that much salt to any vacuum cleaner that has a UV ray attached to it. For starters even if its going to kill bugs etc with a paper bag in place or a cyclonic system UNLIKE that of Dyson's 100% Suction all the time principle, the bag is going to loose out on suction and the only way you'll be able to tell if anything microscopic is being picked up is for the vacuum cleaner itself to have a microscope on it so that their owners can have perfect 100% peace of mind. Now of course things would be rather different if Dyson brought out a UV!

Most emphatically -- no. Disease prevention at best is better brought about by simple methods and rules that all can avail tehmselves of and the use of common sense. Beyond that it all hangs in the luck of the draw.

Viruses are spread a great deal through unavoidable human contact. We ride public transportation, shop and eat in public venues and are even taken care of in public facilities when we are very ill. Unfortunately, most of us can't manage a house on a hilltop where we can stay while the rest of the world stays away.

I've visited hiospital IC units where trained staff has come to work with colds. Can that be avoided when you don't get paid if you don't work? How do you keep them out?

As it stands, there are yet no established specifics as to application of UV light in the instance of vacuum cleaners. No one can tell the individual user what amount of speed, area and time is required to guarantee effective use.

Thanks for the Halo heads-up Carmine. That's what I'm talking about -- a hundred years later of "dust blowers" and civilization as we know it is still standing.

Venson,

I did not say UV solves problems, only that it would be a good time to begin work on a UV vac/bolt-on UV lamp.  This UV bolt-on looks to be the most cost effective (cheapest) to produce of all the UV upright patents on file in the U.S.  And what did it cost this Giant to develop?...  almost nothing.  Almost nothing is a cheap price to pay for locking up the U.S. cheapest to manufacturer-UV-in-an-upright (market).

Parents with infants and toddlers look to be the primary target market for sure.

From what I can see, Samsung has no new vacuums of any kind on the market currently.  Does anyone know if there are any Samsung vacuums selling in the vacuum world today, either under the Samsung brand or another name brand?  And can you provide details, please.

Hi Carmine,

Yes indeed! The Samsung "Silencio" bagless canisters are selling the UK. Samsung's Silencio and Nilfisk's Extrmem series are vacs that I've been hoping to see here. For whatever reason, the idea has not been attractive to either company.
