GermGuardian Elite Pluggable UV-C Air Sanitizer & Deodorizer, White

Ive had this unit running for over a year now and is still performing the same, noise wise, light is still working even though I purchased it with 2 additional replacement bulbs I am glad I havent had to touch them so far. USB port is working and is actually a great addition I thought never would be needed but came in handy to power on a scent oil fan that uses the USB so its great for that without having extra 5V adapter plugged in the wall. At one instance possibly after 6 months of running it had some whine noise to it for a couple of weeks where I thought it was the fan about to die and I expected it to though after that it went back to normal. If it kills odors? I would say so, but not at a very fast rate though definitely sanitizes the air in very small to small rooms. Mid-sized bathroom is a little too much but It can handle it though takes longer. Not sure of the fan CFM but my guess comparing to computer fans, it would be at around 40. Noise level isnt distressing nor calming but say like a centrifugal laptop fan thats in higher spin mode however enclosure of this unit makes the sound more echoed and amplified, if I could put it that way. There are slits on sides, bottom and top, and needs to be dusted, I vacuum it once a month or two so it definitely also acts as a dust filter, sort of. If you ever seen the cloud of a toilet paper or tissue in sunlight, you get the idea why this clogs with dust in bathrooms so fast. Maybe I wish this had a compartment for scent cartridges so that I wouldnt have to have a scent oil USB fan connected to it and maybe I wish it had a fan speed setting knob. Still, its a 5 star product for me that does the job well the way it is and I do recommend it.

Y'all. I plugged this thing in yesterday about 3 feet from the litter box my two cats share. I had high hopes, but with a rather large helping of skepticism. These cats, man...they are adorable and cuddly and I love them to pieces, but they the absolute stinkiest cats I've ever owned. Yes, we've tried switching food/litter. Their litter box funk overrides every air freshener or odor remover or candle I've tried. In addition, our house is 116 years old, so it gets that lovely musty old house smell that's more noticeable some times than others (like in the warm, humid summers of Indiana). Our litter box is located next to our washer/dryer which is essentially in our kitchen. The room is approximately 220 square feet. Due to the layout of our house, the litter box is oddly in close proximity to the kitchen, our bathroom,and our bedroom. So the smell travels well. So, I get this thing in the mail yesterday, and immediately open it and plug it in. We had to leave for a cookout right afterwards. Came home 4 hours later and...the first thing I smell is NOT the litter box, for the first time in approximately forever. I intentionally left the litter box un-scooped before I plugged it in, so I could get a more accurate sense of how well it worked, if that makes sense. As of right now, I'm convinced it's made of magic and unicorn dust, because I cannot smell the litter box without standing directly over it. Incredible. About the gadget itself: it's roughly the size of a box of Kraft Mac and cheese. Yes, it emits a blue light from the front and top. I can see where it could be disruptive to those who are light-sensitive if it were located in a bedroom. But it's no brighter than any of the nightlights I own. Yes, it makes noise. It's a very unobtrusive "shhhhh" sound that is similar to (and no louder than) the fan in a computer. Tabletop/oscillating/box fans are louder than this. (Then again, I'd probably gladly take the odor-removing properties of this thing even if it sounded like a jet engine.) All in all, I'm amazed. We're getting ready to leave for a 10-day vacation here soon, and I'm always shocked at how musty and litter box-y my house smells when we come home from an extended trip (even with someone housesitting and cleaning the box regularly). So, if by some chance, I'm just imagining how well this thing works (with some nose-blindness thrown in), I'll know for certain here soon and will update my review. But as it stands...I'm not regretting a single penny I spent on it.

As a self-proclaimed germaphobe, I take clean air very seriously — and this Germ Guardian GG1100W Pluggable Air Purifier has earned a solid spot in my home. It’s small but mighty, perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and smaller spaces where odors or germs tend to linger. I love that it uses UV-C light to actually kill germs, not just mask them — a big win for those of us who sleep better knowing the air is sanitized. It does a great job at reducing pet and cooking odors, and I noticed the air feels fresher within a day or two. The fan speed is incredibly quiet, almost silent, which makes it ideal for bedrooms or offices where you don’t want extra noise. It’s super easy to use — just plug it in and forget about it. The size is perfect for discreet placement, and it doesn’t draw much power at all. That said, it’s not great at picking up dust particles, so if you’re looking for something that tackles dust buildup, this isn’t the one. It’s really more of a germ and odor eliminator than a dust filter. Overall, it’s compact, reliable, and worth it — a solid 4-star win for fellow germ-conscious humans who value clean, fresh-smelling air (and a little peace of mind).

Works great to abate smell of litter boxes in my laundry room. I had to plug it up at counter height and the boxes are on the floor so I wasn't sure what to expect but it does a great job. Smells gone. I the noise is minimal, I made a video so you can hear it, just like a slight white noise. It is pretty big, larger than an outlet but looks nice and modern and the light is nice. I thought when I opened it there would be some sort of set up but it's super easy - literally just plug in and walk away, then give it a day or so to work it's magic and from then on, clean and sanitized air for all! When I researched, there were really two general options - a sanitizer like this or an ionizer. Seems like the ionizer isn't as safe so I went with this and so far so good after a few weeks of continual use!

It does make a small noise similar to an air purifier/ humidifier. Works well for dog odors

Funciona como magia 👌🏼 Quita olores muy rápido de la cocina y de las habitaciones. Toma aproximadamente 45 minutos para eliminar olores de una habitación pequeña, compraré más para mi casa y oficina (quita hasta el olor a perro del cuarto de mis perros)

Si vives en algún lugar en un ambiente muy húmedo, el moho tiende a construir. Esto es lo perfecto para un dormitorio o un gran trastero. Tengo 3 de estos ahora y me encanta que no haya más moho ni mal olor provenientes del condominio en México y que nuestros allegados no tengan más bebedores ni problemas debido al ambiente húmedo.

Excelente contra las alergias al ácaro y esporas de moho. Con 1h por la mañana y otra en la tarde por habitación es suficiente (adjuntar recipiente con agua). O sea que teóricamente con un solo aparato sería suficiente. Desgraciadamente es frágil como para andarlo moviendo. A mi me funciona perfectamente como metodo alternativo en lugar de los antihistáminicos. Nota: no trae cable para recarga USB.

Es eficiente y quita los malos olores. Hace un poco de ruido pero no es molesto. El area que cubre es algo pequeño, en el negocio requerimos dos para los banos grandes, pero elimina bien los olores son los molestos perfumes.

Necesario en casa
