Review: Affordable ultraviolet air purification for small spaces. - I used to get these from Lowes until they stopped carrying them in store. Luckily, you can get them direct from the manufacturer through desertcart now. They are perfect for small spaces such as apartments, offices, classrooms etc. My wife uses one in her grade school classroom and we have two at home in our two bedroom apartment. They take up zero floor space so that makes them better than most air purifiers right there. You do want to avoid putting anything directly in front of it though, as you want good air flow going to it. You can swivel the plug-in so that it can be plugged in upright as shown in the pictures or upside down. It works equally well in either position and its handy for when there is something above the plug-in preventing you from plugging it in right side up. Also, if you have plug-ins that are getting worn out and heavier things won't stay plugged into them, I've found that plugging it in upside down helps it say plugged in better. It does make a bit of noise due to the impeller fan inside the unit. This noise is very quiet when you first get it, but gets louder and more high pitched when the unit is about to quit working. But, usually, you can make it work again by buying just the inside bulb from the manufacturer's website and replacing that part. You can tell when it is about to go out also by the light on the front. It is usually blue but sometimes turns orange when it needs a new bulb. The bulbs last for 12 months to two years, sometimes even three depending on how much you keep it plugged in and on how dirty your air is. The unit uses about 6 watts per hour so it's pretty energy efficient. It seems to really help, especially with airborne mold. I've had farmers lung or lung infections before I started using air purifiers like this so I tend to be rather sensitive to mold. Now that I'm using these, I've noticed that I have far less trouble with mold in my lungs. It also helps get rid of that musty smell that some places have (which is due to mold). My wife's classroom used to smell musty and she and the kids would have the sniffles often, even when they didn't have the flu but not anymore now that she's got one of these in her room. As for odor reduction, I can't say that it really does a lot. It kind of depends on how strong the odor is and whether the thing that is producing the odor is still present after a while. If something makes a strong odor but is then removed, it does seem to make the smell go away sooner. If the item that is making the odor stays in the room, these things can't keep up with it. It doesn't release any smells of its own, so it won't mask the bad odor with anything like an air freshener does. If you do use air fresheners though, I recommend keeping the air freshener and this Germ Guardian as far apart as you can because I'd imagine that making the Germ Guardian try to clean the particles of air freshener chemical out of the air will wear the Germ Guardian out faster. The best part is that it uses blue light technology to kill mold and germs with ultraviolet light rather than ozone production. Air purifiers that use ozone production actually wind up contributing to indoor air pollution and can make you just as sick as the stuff you are trying to clean out of the air. I've tried ozone producing air purifiers in the past, and they gave me terrible headaches. I don't have that problem with the Germ Guardian. If you notice in a lot of restaurants and hospitals, this UV light technology is used there as well. With the Germ Guardian, the fan draws air towards the bottom of the unit, flows it past the UV light and back out the top of the unit. Though it makes the unit make a little noise, it's better than the passive UV filters since it processes the air in the room more efficiently and takes less time to clean the air column in the room. If you use it in conjunction with a fan (either on the ceiling or floor) it can work even faster, especially if it is a floor fan and you can blow the room's air towards the unit. This is especially helpful in rooms that are approaching the upper limit of the unit's capacity which I think is something like 50 - 70 square feet.
Review: Awesome small air purifier! - I purchased one of these as I moved accross country in the middle of the pandemic as one of several disinfecting solutions, lights, gadgets, gadgets and gear for myself "anti virus arsenal collection" I knew I would be staying at random hotels that may or may not be deep cleaning and following CDC guidelines. Have been sleeping with one of these plugged right next to me since August. I can breathe highly fresh disinfected air. You really can feel the difference! I also purchased one of the large Guardian air purifier round tanks to place at my new apartment. People have commented on the freshness and air quality in the apartment even though I have smoked inside the apartment, which I never did before, but I moved to a cold state. Neither of the air purifiers make much noise, and the tank has a silent mode, which makes it even quieter. I just bought a new pair of these. I noticed there's a new version which is a 7 inch rectangular plug in. In looking at reviews and customer pictures, I decided to stick with this model, because it does not block the second outlet, like the new version seems to do, plus the plug rotates, so it can fit better, if needed. The blue light makes a great soothing nightlight, and I don't like nighlights, so this is a compliment! First time I don't mind having a nightlight, specially right next to me. :) I bought these two extra ones to replace the one I had been using since August, as I noticed, it was getting dusty vents. Cleaned the first one and plugged it in the kitchen, and will probably put the new third one in the bathroom, close to the living room windows or any other area inside the apartment, that may not have the best ventilation and air circulation.. This model is for small places. Hmmm...should check if there's an outlet in the walk-in closet. By the way, I used the first one for 6 consecutive months 24/7, and other than a little cleaning of the vents with a microfiber dry towel, it is still going. I noticed many questions about how long does the light last, before needing replacement. Manufacturer says 6 - 8 months depending on usage. I can vouch that claim. The replacement bulbs are available at desertcart at a very reasonable price. I have not purchased one yet. Ì figured I wait to see how all three of them perform over the next several months. Bottom line, excellent air quality, performance and design! Great value for a fair price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long after plugging in unit are germs removed from room?**
A: Depends upon the size of the room. This unit has to cycle ALL the air in the room through it to remove all the germs from the room. This device is rated to clean 456 cubic ft in one hour. An 8 x 8 x 8 room is 512 cubic ft of air; takes 1.12 hours to clean. An 12 x 12 x 12 ft room is 1728 cubit ft of air; takes 3.78 hours to clean.  I hope this helps. The 3rd number is the height of the ceiling, most are 8 ft tall.

**Q: is id good for a basement i have a daycare down there**
A: I run a daycare also in my finished basement.  Depending on the size of your space, you may want their room size model.  I have their model EV9102 UV Sanitizer.  it's bigger and does more air quickly for my daycare.  I use this tiny unit for my half bath and where I keep the litter box and it's amazing!  The smell the other answer talks about does dissipate usually within 24 hours.  If not, the company should take care of it.  I've had zero issues with 3 units.

**Q: Does then germ guardian break the mold spores down to formaldehyde? Isn't this dangerous?**
A: My lungs have become super sensitive unfortunately, that's why I'm here researching these devices.

One reviewer mentions she felt sick after using this in a moldy room. 

But others with lung issues say it's helped them, however, this item has a very high amount of fake reviews, when reviews were checked through the fakespot website verification.

Another reviewer posted this info which might be helpful: 

Research that the combination of UV-C and titanium dioxide (or PCO (Photocatalytic Oxidiation) which is what powers this GermGuardian) does indeed break down mold spores and VOCs...but it breaks them down into simple molecules like formaldehyde and other aldehydes:

2008
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
"The researchers found that because of incomplete decomposition of the VOC's in the inlet air stream there was a net production of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formic acid and acetic acid. Of particular concern was that the outlet concentrations of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were 3.4 and 4.6 times the inlet concentrations, respectively. Both formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are recognized as important indoor toxicants. Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen."

2015
Science Daily source Concordia University
"Imagine if, in an effort to clean the air more efficiently, you were involuntarily introducing chemicals more dangerous than the ones you were trying to scrub. Concordia University researchers have found that this exact situation is happening with a type of air filter called photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), a product already on the market. The chemical by-product? Formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen."

**Q: Does it get rid of new paint odors?**
A: As long as the room isn't too big it would probably at least help a little bit.  The room we use ours in is 12' by 13' to control any pet odors from a cat.  My wife and I are very sensitive to smells and it works very well for what we needed.  Based on the price we wanted to try this plug in (which is very convenient) before we spent money on any of the larger more expensive units.  Possibly worth trying.  We currently have 3 of these.  1 in each of our offices and 1 in one room of the house.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it but high pitched fan sound might be off-putting
*by M***H on July 12, 2018*

I've had this product now for 4 years and I haven't needed to replace the bulb! It still works! Every month I also open it up and clean out the dust build up inside and outside. The fan sound is a tiny bit obnoxious; it has a tinny, kind of electrical, high pitch sound with a mix of the gentle whoosh of air. It's hard to ignore it. I highly recommend anyone buying this to also buy a 360 degree wall plug. This has come in handy for all 3 of time. I can rotate the proper direction and it keeps it in the wall more sturdy. It also has a surge protector. The one I use is this: 360 Electrical 36083 1-Outlet Compact Rotating Surge Protector --------------------------- Update 07/2020 So I've had these since November 16, 2014 and they're still working! A lot of people mention the fan dying but none of mine have died; I have 3 of them! It says on here to replace the UV-C bulb every 6-9 months and many people say their bulbs burned out either sooner or later. But even after all these years, not one of the UV-C bulbs I have has burned out. I ended up replacing one after 2 years because it seemed a bit dimmer than the other two but I probably could have just let it do it's job until it actually did die. I've had all 3 running 24/7 for years. I really think the reason I haven't had problems is because of the surge protector I've used and also the fact they're pretty secure in the socket. Without the surge protector (3 prong) holding them, they tend to lean out of the socket because of their weight. I bought them because I have 2 cats in a small apartment. I honestly can't say if they're actually effective or not. I think at this point I'm just so used to them being there that mentally I just keep them. I clean them periodically (easy to unscrew); I clean out the dust film on the inside walls and the vents. I'm writing because I want people to know that they can indeed work and last a long time. An issue for why they don't might be the power quality in the home/apartment/sockets.
