    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022
    I bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday and she opened it and wanted to play with it right away...so I got 4 brand new AA batteries and put them in properly...and nothing worked...not the light or the vacuum/suction. So I took the batteries out and made sure that I put them in correctly...which I had...and I screwed the lid back on and tried again...and still nothing! I tried a 3rd time and then it finally worked....so I don't know what that was about...but I didn't like it lol. The suction is mediocre...could definitely be a little stronger...my daughter tried to vacuum up a tiny beetle and it wouldn't suck it up. I'm not very impressed with this thing :(
