Toothbrush sanitizer review [Posted on 2008-01-07]
i really liked this toothbruch sanitizer. I took it on my two week vacation and it was pretty lightweight for having to use batteries. It even came with a toothbrush that can stand on a hard surface on its own. It stopped working for a few days, but I swapped batteries and it worked fine for the rest of the trip. The light came on for a few minutes and automatically turned off. so easy to use!!! The funny part, is that when I came back from vacation and used a toothbrush that I have in a toothbrush stand in my very clean bathroom I ended up getting a tiny mouth sore. I think I will continue using the Violight even when I am not on vacation!
Good, but not for long. [Posted on 2008-04-10]
The Violight travel toothbrush sanitizer works well. So there's no reason to give it a bad rating for the actual use of it and what you're buying it for. However I find it hard to use it when after only a couple of months the UV light stops turning on the way it should. And in an even shorter amount of time after that it just completely stops working. I got about three and a half months use out of this item before it completely gave out. Is it the batteries? No. Is it the bulb? Possibly, but that wouldn't make sense with a statement from Violight saying that it is a "lifetime bulb." Either way, it's ridiculous.
Spending $30 on this item isn't a big deal to me in the slightest. But with it's shoddy design (which I'm not even going to mention) and even more pathetic lifespan it isn't worth a tenth of that.
Daughter's Delight! [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I really can't attest to how well this item performs, as I purchased it for a gift. I can tell you that my "germ freak" daughter is delighted!
Started off great...then tanked! [Posted on 2008-05-24]
This product started off great. Then, within about 4 weeks, it would only come on if you shook it a little. Replaced the batteries. Worked great for a couple days, then would only come on with a little shake. Changed batteries again but still would only work if shaken a little. Now, completely dead after just 10 weeks.
Ok so far [Posted on 2008-05-31]
Seems to be working fine. In my humble opinion, the size of the item is as compact as it can be with relation to toothbrush size and the size of the light mechanism that has to effectively kill germs. Again, I'm just stating my opinion even though others have complained.
