After reading the user manual I sent it back. Too many negatives to discuss, but the main drawbacks are that the light isn't strong enough to kill germs without minutes of exposure in one spot. If you look at the chart they supply of the recommended times to kill certian things, you will take hours to clean things like a couch. Second, the UV light is extremely dangerous to your skin (cancer) and your eyes (blindness). I certainly didn't want something like that in my house. They don't tell you that on the box or in their advertising. I bought one of these things6 months ago. After reading the user manual I sent it back.
