Here is an email from the manufacturer
Hi...I actually work for Halo - I'm the Web Guru ("Web Content Manager" is my real title) over here. Nice to meet you, I'm Ashleigh McHenry.

I saw a thread on our Vacuum on your site (“Something new”) and wanted to respond, but I cannot.
The Halo UVX (the vacuum we have out right now) DOES work in only seconds. We did our homework, and engineered a bulb chamber with a certain wattage of bulb, and a certain reflectivity of the chamber in which the bulb is encased, to create the exact amount of UV-C light to kill organisms with regular vacuuming (I believe that is something like 235.7 nanometers).
The doctor who pretty much started the technology for hospitals and water purification over 50 years ago, Dr. James R. Bolton, designed the chamber with us and invested significantly in our use of the technology. And through independent studies from the Ohio State University and University of Arizona tested our exact bulb chamber in their labs and submitted reports to various organizations and associations regarding the validity of our claims - and that our vacuum, used as intended - kills the organisms described on our website - and in effect, can have an effect on allergies and asthma.
If anyone there at Vacuumland has any questions about the Halo line of products, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at
amchenry@halocompany.com. I am happy to answer any questions. I might encourage you to read our website in depth as well. There is a lot of great information on there, whether you are interested in buying one or not. I hope to hear from you soon if anyone would like more information. If you could post this to that thread, I’d really appreciate it! We’re here to help!
Thanks!
Ashleigh
