Top critical review
2.0 out of 5 starsI hope not to regret buying it

Disclaimer: This review is as pre-trip to India and I will update after the trip to India to review more.
I got the latest model as 2022 and here is my initial reaction:
1. removing the battery tab: you need a screw driver or a knife, unless you have long acrylic nails to help you open the screw. I opted for a knife.
2. Check the 2 batteries and make sure you buy more of the same model.
3. Easy to read partial given instructions -- they don't indicate how deep into the water the UV light must be. You must to figure out as a trial/error. The instructions mini-booklet give you a site/link for a full user manual. But that site doesn't work (weird, right?). Thank goodness for Google and those people who ask/respond to questions
4. Make sure your bottle of water is glass or plastic (see through). The metal bottle will give you a wrong signal after the water treatment.
5.Oh, removing the UV lamp cap/cover needs a bit of force... I was afraid I will break the pen by pulling that cap off.
Overall, I hope this purchase worth the money, because the almost 100 bucks seems a bit steep. So far I am not as impressed as others made this pen sound like. Apparently, this is one of the best on the market... imagine that!
