First off, let me tell you – this vacuum made me question my entire cleaning routine. When I saw what came out of my 'clean' mattress during the first use, I nearly gagged (in a good way?). The ultrasonic waves and UV-C light aren't just marketing fluff – they actually leave surfaces smelling hospital-level fresh.

The 420W suction is brutal on dust mites but gentle on fabrics. I've run this over delicate vintage quilts without a single snag, thanks to that clever rubber agitator. Pro tip: Use the hot wind function after UV treatment – it creates this satisfying 'just sun-dried' feel that lasts for days.

That said, wrestling with the UV activation buttons feels like playing Twister with your vacuum. Trying to sanitize throw pillows? Prepare for some creative contortions. And while the dust sensor lights up like a Christmas tree during use, I'm still not entirely sure what the colors actually mean in practical terms.

Where this vacuum truly shines (literally, with that UV light) is post-pet cleaning. My golden retriever's favorite couch spot went from 'questionably fuzzy' to 'basically sterile' in one pass. The dual cyclone system contains the inevitable fur tornado beautifully – no more sneezing fits while emptying the bin.

At $140, it's priced like a premium gadget but performs like specialized equipment. Just don't expect to casually whip this out for quick cleanups – between setup time and the serious deep-cleaning mindset it requires, this is more of a weekly 'operation clean house' tool than an everyday solution.
