Product Reviews of Germ Guardian LW18 UV-C Light Wand
Product Review: Don't be a sucker!
Summary: 1 Stars
Just a quick check on Wikipedia, and it was obvious that this product can not do what it claims to. "The effectiveness of this form of sterilization is also dependent on line-of-sight exposure of the micro-organisms to the UV light. Environments where design creates obstacles that block the UV light are not as effective." As an example, pillows and carpets are perfect for harboring all sorts of bad things, but light obviously can not penetrate beyond the surface. An ozone generator makes far more sense.Product Review: Fast Delivery
Summary: 4 Stars
It's size makes it a little awkward to use, as does the time required but I keep it handy just in case.
Product Review: Germ free

Amazing product! Easy to use. 1000's of places in the home to disinfect from toilet bowls to bedding to the bottoms of your shoes!Product Review: It works but could be better!
Summary: 4 Stars
The holding time is really boring... I suggest a attachment of a 2 inch holder from the wand to the object, so we could just place it there 2 inches away without holding it!!
I can tell this lamp really works because you can smell a tiny bit of "burn" after you scan it on carpet, but it won't heat up anything so I dont think it'll actually set something on fire. It's really light weight so I didn't have a problem on scanning stuff with it on a extended period of time. You can always just leave it facing down and let it "burn the bacteria" and move it say once every 10 seconds, doesn't really have to hold on to it. And the auto shout off system is when u are really trying to make the UV light facing to u, It'll still work as long as u move less then 90 degree. So UV lighting the wall was no problem too (although it's impossible to do the ceiling...oh well)

Product Review: Meh, does the job but feels cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
1. Feels cheaper than it looks. Don't let the shiny gray color in the picture fool you, it's plastic and not metal. I had bigger expectations because I already had the big brother to this wand, the beautiful stainless steel uv-c room sanitizer. If the wand was a nice white plastic, I would not care, but making it the gray color makes it look and feel like a cheap knock-off.
2. The wand can only be used 'face down'. I understand this is a safety feature, but I wish I had known about this before I bought it. I was going to wave the wand over part of a wall that I cleaned some mold off of, but positioning this wand so that the light faces anywhere but down turns the light off.
3. It's kind of big. It's such a lightweight unit, I dont' know why they didn't make the body tighter.
The wand has good points to it (check out the other reviews), but I personally was disappointed with what I paid for it. NOTE: Prices on these things have dropped a lot since I bought mine, and they seem to be getting more in line with what I think I should have paid for it.
