I find this story a little sad as I can't quite comprehend why Oreck didn't let the Halo go down the drain as it was destined to. I thought everybody knew all that shines ain't gold.
Since first word of the machine more than two or three years ago, I couldn't help being skeptical as Halo, this vac's originator, could never be nailed down for specifics. Namely -- how many passes per square foot and at what speed of use kills what percent of germs and creepy crawlies in your rug?
It would appear that the FTC got the upper hand re the question and Oreck has shelled out $750,000 to settle.
There's another saying about beating dead horses however Oreck will continue to attempt to sell the Halo on its cleaning merits the article says. Signs and wonders . . .
