It’s smart without being too smart to fit into a very reasonable budget.
Do you give up a bit of battery life for a reasonably priced battery and suction power?
How about all those accessories?

Surely you could’t need that many?
I mentioned compromises at the very start and there are a few notable ones here.
I’m happy to say the Ultenic U16 Flex has done so in my weeks with it.
The U16 Flex’s Turbo mode is louder, with a better suction but less battery life.
Eco mode is the weakest but longest-lasting mode and standard sits somewhere in between.
First is your standard vacuum end, with a roller and large head.
The second is a more precise crevice tool to get the edges of carpets and up high.
The last is actually built into the top of the vacuum itself and comes with a brush around it.
Unfortunately, the vacuum can’t stand by itself and has to be leaned against something.

It meets a nice middle ground that makes this vacuum ideal for small to medium-sized apartments.
Cleaning out the dust cup works like a joy though.
However, it also handles tiles and flooring well, allowing the Green Eye technology to really shine.

The battery life isn’t amazing but what life you get out of this vacuum is great.
