Hi Venson, DIB:Made a stop at the local ORECK store. [BTW, the resident in one of the adjacent stores is no longer in business.] The ORECK Halo was proudly displayed and we talked about it. The ORECK sales lady did not push/pitch it in any way shape or form. Quite the opposite. SHe said it is 17 pounds, a tad on the heavy side compared to the ORECK standard. She said it' recommended mostly for couples with small infants who crawl alot on the rugs and floors and are subject to allergies and/or have sensitivity to germs. She laughingly said that her older children said there were no such vacuums with UV lights in their time, and they survived with no health problems. . . .

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.

Thanks once again Venson. It appears that the 2 Samsung UK models, one cann and one upright, are bagless. But the Canadian models are bagged except the small cann models. I don't know if there is a relevance to this or not. Maybe there is. Does bagless appear the norm in the UK for vacuums vice bagged vacuums in Canada as the norm?
