I've seen similar UV-ray "bed cleaners" that are just modified Kirbys (with kludgy-looking external UV attachments) selling at extremely high prices (like $3000+).   At least the price on this one isn't that high.

I've always vacuumed my mattress weekly, and am always amazed at what winds up in the bin afterwards.  Dead skin cells, dust mites, etc., and I wonder how all of that got there in 1 week!

And here they are...I found three so far but there are probably more.  Wonder why Kirby is the machine of choice?

Hygienitech, #2, and #3.

Motorhead, I did not look into and see if other manufactures were producing this too before I posted the above.  I thought the Raycop video was produced well, although it took a little long before the actual product was shown and/or explained.        DIB

Hi Motorhead and DIB

Thanks for the news.  To say the least, where there's a will there's a way.  Kirby had to agree to licensing for  these diverse models didn't it?  I wonder if there were limits set.  One of the links mentioned the cleaner being self-propelled but did not suggest the use of the vacuum on rugs -- or at least I didn't notice -- just on matresses.  The online literature of one even made mention of  uniforms and special solutions to use along with the machine. 

DIB, is the Ray Cop rechargable or corded? 

Thanks,

Venson

Limited applicability:  Cleaning mattresses only.  Most people don't perform this chore even once a month, let alone once a week and/or daily.   UNLESS they have a specific health need to do so and even then, do they?  Most homemakers, I dare say, don't clean and vacuum under their beds once a month.  Instead making it a seasonal chore like "spring cleaning."  Out of sight, out of mind. 

The question to ask: Who will buy it?

This system is sold by pre set appointments,they prey on the germphobics,it's a kirby with a blue u.v light hanging off it.The asking price is 3 thousand dollars and up.

Talk about getting screwed............

Venson,

Licensing/patenting:  The little I know of patents… “Broad patents” typically, not “narrow patents” give inventors the greater protection.  Manufactures must pay for patents in whatever country they want protection in (giving them the legal right to sue).        regards, DIB
