Product Reviews of Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, Blue
Product Review: Invest in Batteries
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product for the holidays. I liked the way it looked and was excited to be able to use my travel sanitizer, which happens to be a different model, just for travel.
This product is easy to clean but it drains batteries amazingly fast. If I don't take the batteries out every morning and evening I change them almost every week.
If not for that, and my lack of investment in battery companies, I would like this product.
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, 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.
* 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 Violight 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 when it wants to
Summary: 3 Stars
I had bronchitis last year for the first time. Now I am running scared that it will get me again this year so I purchased the Zapi to sanitize my toothbrush. It is so aggravating because some times the UV light comes on after placing the brush in the unit and sometimes it doesn't! I waste so much time positioning and repositioning the darn brush. I push it back into the "holding slot" but the light still will not come on. I like the idea 100% of killing the germs but the product needs some work!!Product Review: Zapi - not so much!

I have only used the Zapi 2 times and it broke! The light doesn't go on and of course original pkging gone at this point - really disappointed!Product Review: battery zapper
Summary: 3 Stars
My biggest dissappointment in this product is how quickly the batteries die and have to be replaced. The sanitizer itself does work well when used properly. Excess water MUST be shaken from the tooth brush and the drip tray MUST be cleaned at least once a week. I have not seen any mold on my sanitizer but then again I have been following the recommended maintenance.
