These are helpful and appear to work. A bit large and heavier than normal toothbrush holder.Product Review: Violight VIO 200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer

It is worth every penny. It is a wonderful useful item.Product Review: What a waste of money.
Summary: 1 Stars
What a great idea. What a poor execution of an idea. Who was in charge of product development? I would recommend they actually should have tried to use the device before they put it on the market. Zero stars.
Key points:
* Wastes batteries. I'm not sure how this happens since it doesn't work most of the time.
* The light, insert point for the neck grip, and pretty much any other access point that water can get through, it will and does. Which makes the actual usage intermitent. I found that if you let it dry out for a few days it will usually dry enough for it to work again. Shaking helps - sometimes. But, isn't the point to be using it every time you use your toothbrush? Critics may say, "shake the toothbrush off before you put it away". Been there. Done that. As carefull as I am, water leaks in, accumulates and compromises the usability. I have opened the battery compartment more than once to find moisture.
* For the money this costs it should have a life span of more than a few weeks. A disclaimer should be included as to how long the unit will actually operate in regular use. This unit is virtually disposable given it's life span.
I recieved one as a gift some time after the one I purchased gave out - which lasted about 5 weeks. The new one was no better and lasted about 6 weeks. I also recieved the Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, also by Violight, as a gift; it lasted about 4 weeks. They didn't learn anything from the failures of the first effort. Still leaks water into the unit and makes for build up of moisture and subsequently mold/mildew if you don't take it apart frequently to clean it. The opening for the toothbrush won't easily accept wider head brushes. Horrible design because as my brush scrapes through the opening I think "great it's going to be cleaned off... but what about when I pull it back through?"...
Final review - Violight, go back to the drawing board. Don't waste your money.
Product Review: Works well, but doesn't last
Summary: 3 Stars
Good news, it works well for the first 11 months and it apparently kills the bacteria. I haven't got a cold or sore throat in the last year, so this may have helped. The bad news is that this unit doesn't last. After 11 months it started to require a hard shake to turn it on and then it finally died. I think the moisture from the toothbrush and the vapor particles from the residual toothpaste are corrosive to the electronic components.
