The wand itself is great. Small enough to toss into a suitcase or even a messenger bag. Runs on AA batteries and it lasts a long time (even with today's heavier use the batteries last for months). It has a couple of safety features: the lamp turns off if it's not facing downwards and if you leave it running for longer than, I believe, 10 minutes it will shut down automatically.
Since viruses don't really smell, you can't be 100% sure what's going on but unless you're trying to sanitize a surface you lathered viral particles on like jam on bread, this will do a number on viruses and other germs. It's not a guarantee since you're talking about particles smaller than dust but if you use it as directed (close to the surface and moving slowly), it'll be hard for anything to survive.
With bacterial and mold, you can usually smell the difference as the radiation blasts proteins and DNA to bits. Just remember that surfaces, however smooth they look to you, are often super rough so there could always be places where germs can hide. Still, I feel confident that this wand is taking care of the vast majority of germs when I'm using it.
I don't know if it's still made this way but mine has a sticker saying it was made in England. I bought mine back in 2017.
Lastly, a big part of the reason I wanted to post this is because of the price. Maybe, by the time you read this, they'll have fixed it but when I bought this it was $69.95. Not an outstanding price but given how well it's served its purpose for 3+ years now, I think it's a fine price. But today (July 2020), it's showing a price of $199 when bought from the manufacturer (other third-party sellers are selling for the original price or close to it). I'd like to think that it's just a mistake but if you're reading this and assuming that's a normal price for this product, don't. There's no way it's worth spending $200 on this device, however good it might be. It's competitors are at or below the original list price. They might not be as high quality a product but the quality doesn't justify a premium of $150. Either wait for them to fix that price (or come to their senses at least) or if they are stuck in some sort of price gouging heaven, consider a different product.
1. The product is an UV-C light product. It’s actually twice as harmful to your skin and cornea when use incorrectly. It doesn’t penetrate like UV-A or UV-B, but it’s still harmful and should not be used over skin.
2. Transition glasses reacts to UV-A and UV-B, because these are the two spectrums of light that penetrates the o-zone layer. The glasses under the UV-C will eventually turn dark if exposed long enough.
3. The video actually demonstrated the low penetration ability of UV-C. Wearing gloves when using the product will prevent your hands from over exposure.
4. The rattling noise this product makes is a fail safe device to prevent the light from operating when pointing up.
5. Consider wearing protective glasses when using the device. Our eyes don’t have natural reaction, like squinting, when our eyes look directly into it. So surfaces that reflect light will inadvertently be harmful to your eyes.
I did all my counter tops in both bathrooms and in kitchen. I scanned over our computer, adding machine and printer and lots of other things like light switches and remotes and our bed as well as out couch in the living room and my husbands chair. Scanned his scooter handles as well as seat. Then I scanned our grocery items. There are tons of things that you can use it for. I love it.
Put in new batteries right before writing this review and nothing. It does not turn on. Hope the lifespan is not just a year and I just got a faulty one. Other than that I guess it worked ok.
