When in use, this cordless 2-in-1 wet/dry vacuum feels lightweight and self-propelling. It's relatively quiet for a vacuum. The edge margins on this unit are narrow, allowing me to clean very close to baseboards and furniture. Its profile is low enough for me to get under cabinet toe kicks, too. The vacuum automatically pauses when it's placed in the upright position. Gimmicky? Sure, but it's a convenient feature for when you have to move something out of your path. Speaking of convenient, I like not having to contend with a power cord. The battery purports a 30-minute run time. It has been sufficient for me to clean my tiled floors.
While the vacuum is in its base, it has a self-cleaning function you can initiate that uses heated water and air. This helps keep things sanitary.
Aside from the cleaning tablets (it's mainly citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate; savvy individuals might use alternatives including homemade solutions containing similar ingredients), other consumables to be aware of are the brush roller (it reminds me of a medium nap paint roller) and filter (it reminds me of packing foam). They supposedly last 3-4 months, and I'm glad the manufacturer has replacements available for sale at the time of this review.
A surprise to me is that the handle connects to the base via a USB connection located within the extension wand. It a new use of the Universal in USB for me.
