I love that this vacuum has a UV lamp to kill bacteria and I love how small and light it is, but this product has a couple of major drawbacks. First, the battery life is very short. If you leave it on for 12 hours, you can use the vacuum cleaner for about 2.5 hours. Also, the UV light nozzle oscillates up and down, so you need to be careful lifting it off the floor when trying to vacuum the surfaces of your furniture. In the first month I had it, the vacuum's suction power was really good. I was surprised at how powerful this little vacuum was, but after that it lost suction and the vacuum started giving off this weird chemical smell. I contacted the manufacturer and they emailed that it was perfectly normal and harmless, but it was giving me a headache. In addition, this vacuum cleaner is very loud and makes a shrill sound when the suction power is increased. I wanted to love this product but ended up sending it back.
