The Dyson Animal is a great vacuum cleaner that has the best suction for a vacuum. The Oreck Halo has an ultraviolet light that kills germs, mold, mildew and mites. Both vacuums cost about the same amount of money but are they the same?
I had a Dyson Animal for the last four years. I gave that vacuum every possible test and it always passed with flying colors but one day my Dyson's hose ripped. I was devastated since I am a neat freak and my vacuum would no longer work properly without the hose. I have many dogs and I don't like dirt so I vacuum every day. This keeps me and my vacuum busy and we tend to spend a lot of time with each other. My vacuum has heavy use so I did not blame my Dyson when the hose finally gave out.
I could have bought a new hose for about $40 but then my husband found a great deal on a Oreck Halo germ killing vacuum cleaner. It kills germs and we could get it for a good price so I had to try it. I was 99% pleased with my Dyson why would I change?
The Oreck Halo arrived and right away I started to compare the vacuums. This is what I found out:
The Dyson Animal has great suction that picks up any animal hair in the room with little effort. The Halo had trouble picking up the animal hairs. I have a lot of spoiled dogs that have free roam of the home so maybe I have more hair to deal with then most folks. My Dyson never let me down with picking up animal hair. The Oreck did.
