I've warned my wife that my germ-phobia could reach Howard Hughes proportions as I get older. But while I'm not wearing tissue boxes for shoes just yet, I am not convinced my trusty Dyson is doing enough to rid my apartment of germs. Sure, it picks up dust bunnies, dirt, and even paperclips, but what about the stuff I can't see?

This is where the Halo UV-ST Ultraviolet Vacuum might be a neat freak's best buddy. This new vacuum features a germ-killing ultraviolet light, which should destroy 99.9 percent of dangerous microscopic irritants, including those from dust mites, bacteria and mold. It also offers a sleek black silhouette that evokes a vacuum fit for a ninja, so cleaning doesn't feel like work--it feels like I'm assassinating the germs in my apartment.
