Purchased this to replace a "shark" that was pathetic. I thought at $ 99.00 it would actually clean. Not so, if the item (more like crumb or piece of cereal) is over a 1/2 inch it won't pick it up. Also it does not clean along edges (and i thought the shark was pathetic, at least it actually swept along the edge under the counter) so it leaves a 1/2 inch of crumbs and dirt around the corner of the floor under the counter. It looks like I didn't even spot vacume. As for the UV light, I'm not a scientist so I can not tell you if it actually kills germs and bacteria, but I think it's an expensive light on the front of a poorly working vacume. Yeiks!

First of all, the thing doesn't pick up dirt, the little wheels get stuck with lint and hair on the floor, and the little UVC light is not bright enough to do anything. Even the experts will tell you that pushing a sweeper around the floor with a little UVC light, won't kill any real number of germs -- so, why would you buy it?? The one I purchased, broke within a week (the handle at the base broke off), the battery lasted for about 15 minutes and needed 8 hour to recharge -- and, it doesn't pick up anything!

I bought one of these for a family member and it would not hold a charge, couldn't sweep anything up (it just doesn't have the power) and the UV lamp is too small to really kill anything. The final insult was that the handle broke! When I called Verilux, they told me they didn't think it was very good either!! Save your money and buy another brand of cordless sweeper for $29.95 at Amazon.
