Customer Reviews of Germ Guardian EV-9-102 UV-C Air Sanitizer, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Marketing Scam
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these pieces of junk, and believe me they do NOT work unless your room is about 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet.
IT RECIRCULATES THE SAME AIR OVER AND OVER IN A TINY AREA!
When they say it cleans 700 cubic feet per hour, that is simply what the fan can MOVE per hour not what it actually will clean in a 10 foot by 10 foot by 7 foot room.
The fan is so weak at full speed you can barely feel it. Really it is sucking in air through the bottom and blowing it out at the top. Both the inlet and outlet are facing the same side so you are basically recirculating most of the same air over and over again. This thing would need to be 7 feet tall to really work well.
In a hospital they have HUGE systems that MOVE the air past LARGER ARRAYS of bulbs.
So here you are sitting in a room with your kids coughing on one side and this thing recirculating the same air over and over again, in a little tiny airspace, what a great deal. Just be ready to buy 10 of them per room.
Maybe you can try hanging 5 on the celiing and putting 5 on the floor of a 4' x5' bathroom and it might work in a week.
Do yourself a favor, and buy a machine that has more UV light bulbs, and has a greater airflow so ALL the air in a room is moving and ALL of the air in the room goes through the filter.
I gave it a one because it looks nifty.
Customer Review: Decent product but does not cover room adequately
Summary: 2 Stars
After hearing about this product and reading the reviews, decided to get one for our newborn baby. The problem however, is that this does not cover the entire room even on its "high" setting. Over the course of an hour, I would say this thing covers only a sixth of the air in our room (12 x 12). I put my hand in front of the sanitizer and could barely feel any airflow and this was on the high setting. I've only had this product for a month so I will have to follow-up on durability.
First month impression is this thing is too weak to adequately sanitize an entire room. If it were a bit stronger, would give a better rating. I feel like I will return this item and get a stronger air cleaner, or buy 3 of these (not practical).
Customer Review: Don't waste your time and money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item for my classroom. It sounded like a good idea at the time. I wish I would have read more of the reviews before I purchased this item. I've had the item for almost a year now. It has worked a total of 2 months in that time. I've had it replaced twice. The manufacturer is now asking me to pay to have the items shipped to their factory to check them out. I always assumed a faulty product would be replaced without a hassle. I was definitely wrong. Not only do they want me to pay for the shipping but they are insisting that I also pay to insure the item.
Don't waste your time and money on this product. What seemed like it would help the students in my classroom turned out to be a major hassle for me.
Customer Review: This is a gimmick!
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first learned about the Germ Guardian, I thought, "Wow! I've just got to have it!" The manufacturers claimed that it was tested and found effective by the Harvard School of Public Health so I was impressed and ordered it. It turned out to be a slick looking product, space age and all and it looked good in the house but unfortunately, that's the only good thing I can say about it because after 5 days, my sneezing (I have allergic rhinitis) was no better, I felt the same as I did before it arrived and then, one day, I came down with an absolutely severe allergic attack and this thing did absolutely, 100% NOTHING!! So I have sent it back for refund. I don't recommend it at all and I feel that the whole thing is just a big bad gimmick.Customer Review: Decent product but does not cover room adequately
