Fabulous Product

Pros: small, quiet - just a little noise - very soft and low, worth every penny - no sick days for me.
Model Number: GG1000
"I purchased these last year after I had Strep twice from my 4th grade cherubs. I used them the last quarter of school and all of this school year. I have not been sick once. I also have had very few sick students (maybe 2 "truly" sick ones) out this year. I have tried to get my college student to get one in her dorm room. She told me they are not cool. My response was...being sick is not cool. :-)"

Excellent Product

Pros: great product at an exceptional price!
"The Germ Guardian Pluggable UV-C Air Sanitizer has changed my life! I purchased this product for use in my classroom because it is prone to roof leaks and water damage. The stench of mold/mildew is overwhelming in the classroom. Healthwise, I was prone to acute sinus infections and upper respiratory problems. Since plugging in the Germ Guardian, I can breathe clearly and the smell is gone! I have not felt bad one day since I plugged in Germ Guardian. This an EXCELLENT product at an EXCELLENT price! The 2nd Germ Guardian was a bonus - now my home is clear of pollutants, too! Many reviews complain that the product is too loud, but it's no worse than a small oscillating fan."

Air Sanitizer

Pros: small/portable
"I got these since my husband's allergies are at an all-time high. The Therapure® Air Purifier we bought at the warehouse is working so well I wanted a small UV unit for the office and spare room.
They are not as loud as the Therapure tower, but yes, you can hear them....but given the fact that all are working so well it's well worth it."

seems eliminated odor but too noisy

"fan itself is loud + the sound when air went through the narrow passage way in the middle of the device, if you are a light sleeper, it is not fit for your bedroom or the bathroom inside of your bedroom!!"

it does seem to be working!

"i bought this product to combat some of the dust in a place i am renting. i clean & vacuum & still sneeze. i bought this sanitizer to aid me & i really think it has. i am able to breathe better & dont sneeze as much. the other reviewers say that it is loud, but i am able to sleep comfortably with it on. its a low hum that sometimes helps the slumber come. i think the price was good for a double pack. i think this is a must for people with allergies like myself"

Great idea, too loud

Pros: great concept
Cons: way too loud!
"While I love the idea of killing airborne mold spores and cleaning the air in general, it was difficult with this item because of it's noise level. I had one in the kitchen and one in my son's room. I unplugged the one in the kitchen on the second day, my son lasted only three days before he unplugged his. He couldn't take it anymore and neither could I. Great concept, hope they come up with a quieter version."

Not for us

Pros: they looked really sleek.
Cons: fan too noisey
"We only kept these items one day. The fan portion was too loud, especially at night. If small fan noise doesn't grate on your nerves, then give them a try. But for both of us it was too annoying."

Does what it says

Pros: portable, quiet
"We got these to help make the air feel more fresh. It seems to work. I haven't woken up with a runny noise since we started using them. While you can hear the fan running, it isn't loud enough to be annoying. We have it in our room running all night and doesn't bother me, my wife, or our newborn at all. In fact, it provides good white noise to drown out our apartment neighbors. Glad to get the air sanitizers from Costco. We'll see how long the light bulbs last."

Awesome!

Pros: destroys odors completely, bulbs last a long time
Cons: none
"This product is a miracle worker. We have lived in our home for almost 10 years. Our basement has ALWAYS been musty smelling. It's been an annoying problem since the beginning. We have also had two floods in the basement over the 10 years and the second time there was so much water we had to remove the carpet. Even though we run a dehumidifier down there it has never smelled right.... until.... we got these. These have completely removed any odor from the basement. It smells just like any other room and I no longer dread walking down there to do my laundry. It's nothing short of amazing. i would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to kill germs and remove odors from an area of their house. I could not be more pleased!"

It seems to work!

"I wasn't hopeful that anything would make much difference in my 90 year old father's bathroom, which seemed to smell no matter how much I cleaned it. But the air sanitizer seems to be working. I'd say the smell is 90% gone, and I'm hopeful that with consistent cleaning and the Germ Guardian's reassuring whir continuing, we may get to 100%. I'll let you know."

Fantastic Help w Allergies

"I have had mine for over a year. It has been plugged in and running nonstop ever since Ipurchased it. I have mine plugged close to my bed so that allergies won't bother me at night. It is a huge help to me. I notice the great difference it makes when I walk in from the outside. I breathe better and sneeze less in my home than anywhere else in this ragweed ridden autum in austin this year."

Works as advertised

Pros: works great!
Cons: a little loud
"Bought this as air cleaners have not worked reliably in the past. Me and my son have allergies that seem to flare up in the early morning as the sun rises and flowers start pollenating. We both start sneezing and sniffling.
After plugging this thing in for 1 night we both slept all the way through, not one sneeze.
As people have mentioned the fan is a little on the louder side at night but if you can filter that out then its perfect."

Good Investment for Pet owners

"I have bad allergies, an infant and pets. This product made a great difference in the kitty litter area. My allergies haven't been as bad and the pet smell has decreased. The only dawback is the fan but you learn to tune it out. Several days after I had them plugged in the air quality improved."

Only Thing That Removes Litter Box Odors!

Pros: gets rid of spot odors, cat's don't mind the fan sound, way less expensive than using the bath fan
Cons: can make a small bit of dust
"I agree with others that this is designed for specific situations. It's not big enough to do a "whole" room.
BUT!!! I attach it to the same plug I use for my electric catbox, and it TOTALLY removes the smell. I have a PHENOMENALLY picky nose, and I LOVE this. So much so that I have 4 as back up in case one goes out so I don't have to be without it!
It makes some dust, so I wouldn't put it where it blows on toothbrushes. I thought putting one in the kitchen, especially near the trash can, is a GREAT idea.
Couldn't stand to live in my house with our two cats without this. Way less expensive than using the bath fan to pull out the odors and removing all the "conditioned" air in the house too!
Have also told numerous friends about it, and they use it too! AND Love it!"

NICE

Pros: clean air, customer support
Model Number: GG1000
"I purchased the 2 pack, I can tell the difference by the cat litter box, and the other in my bedroom. The air is cleaner when I enter the room. The only problem I had was a fan went out in one of them, but they sent me another in a week. I like the product!"

so far, so good

"I bought 4 of these last year after numerous bouts of allergies and sinus issues. I do feel a difference in the air when these are turned on. And so far I haven't had as bad of allergy or cold symptoms as I usually do. I put one in our tv room, the kitchen, our bedroom and our bathroom. The fan is a bit noisy but after awhile you get used to it and don't even realize they are on!"
