Customer Reviews of Germ Guardian GG-1000 UV-C Air Sanitizer
Customer Review: It works fine so far
Summary: 4 Stars
I learned a few weeks ago that I had a rodent infestation in my house. They'd gotten in (apparently) through the cat door, and been living under the stove and refrigerator, and had slipped from there into a space beneath some cupboards. They were amazingly quiet... I had no idea they were in the house, and my cat didn't either (not that she would likely have cared, she was a very elderly, sleepy cat.)
Anyway, a few weeks ago I started smelling something unpleasant in the kitchen. The smell would come and go. I cleaned the usual surfaces but it came back. I finally looked under the stove and was appalled to see a mountain of mouse droppings. Then the smell really hit, as, apparently, one of them died somewhere in the walls of the house. It hit during a heat wave, exploded throughout the house, and almost drove me out of the house.
Locating their "nest" and cleaning up the droppings helped, but not totally. There was still a bad residual smell in the kitchen, which would sometimes drift into the rest of the house. It was bad enough, on hot or humid days, to make me want to go outside. I finally went to the local Fred Meyer and found the germguardian GG10000 on sale, and decided on impulse to buy three of them, for the living room, kitchen and my home office, three rooms where I spend a lot of time.
That was last night. Today, 13 or 14 hours later, I can say that they have helped. The air is breathable. No trace so far today of the bad smell I've been living with for over three weeks. Also my allergies feel a little better, my breathing clearer than usual. So they must be doing something.
I'm not sure if the change is totally due to the germguardian, because after installing them, I did one more scrubdown of the areas in the kitchen where the mice had been hanging out. But so far so good. I'm glad I bought the product.
The one thing I have a dispute with is the advertisement that they are "whisper quiet." I expected an essentially silent product, but they're not. As others have commented, there's a constant (low level) white noise from the fan. I don't mind it too much, it's way better than the smell. It's not an unpleasant sound, just constant, like a steady soft fan. I suppose the sound could get irritating after a while. But right now I'm just happy they got rid of the horrific dead rodent/residual mouse droppings/residual mouse urine smell. I'm feeling better about the house and can start having friends over again. Glad so far that I bought the Germguardian(s).
Apart from that, I can say I like the design of the product, it looks cool and high tech.
