Customer Reviews of Violight VIO200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer
Customer Review: Think about it for just a minute. These gizmos are absolutely useless.
Summary: 1 Stars
Think about it for just a minute. These gizmos are absolutely useless.
(1) Anything that gets on your toothbrush head was ALREADY in your mouth. Unless you think your houseguests are cleaning their shoe soles with your toothbrush while you aren't looking.
(2) You are sitting a wet toothbrush head in this gizmo. Which means it is sitting in a puddle of water that is likely to mold/mildew. So you can put mold/mildew INTO your mouth (that was NOT in your mouth before).
(3) The puddle of water is likely to (a) rust out the innards of this gizmo and (b) short-circuit the gizmo's electronics.
(4) The American Dental Association says these gizmos have no proven beneficial health benefits[...]
Given all that, it seems your money would be better spent betting "Hard 8" at the Craps table in Vegas.
Customer Review: Good, but not for long.

The Violight travel toothbrush sanitizer works well. So there's no reason to give it a bad rating for the actual use of it and what you're buying it for. However I find it hard to use it when after only a couple of months the UV light stops turning on the way it should. And in an even shorter amount of time after that it just completely stops working. I got about three and a half months use out of this item before it completely gave out. Is it the batteries? No. Is it the bulb? Possibly, but that wouldn't make sense with a statement from Violight saying that it is a "lifetime bulb." Either way, it's ridiculous.
Spending $30 on this item isn't a big deal to me in the slightest. But with it's shoddy design (which I'm not even going to mention) and even more pathetic lifespan it isn't worth a tenth of that.
Customer Review: OK let's believe in the tooth fairy
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two of these tooth sanitizers. One worked, the other never turned off after 7 minutes, 20 minutes, 12 hours. I could only assume whatever sanitizing needed to be done, was done in 7 minutes on my toothbrush, but my wife's toothbrush needed some serious sanitizing, because hers never turned off. Made me wonder where her mouth has been that this unit never stopped sanitizing.
I did believe this sanitizing crap was doing its thing. But I can't help but believe in fairies and Santa Claus.
Basically on review of the two products I purcased, one works I suppose, the other is defective! I didn't get any flu or viruses but can we assume it was a disinfective tooth brush that saved me or was it the zinc tablets, airborne tablets, sauerkraut, garlic, vitamin c or the zillion times I washed my hands.
Customer Review: Travel Sanitizer, So simple but functional too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had no problems with my travel unit, I am a very happy customer. I followed the directions which clearly say to tap out excess water before placing into the violight. The unit has an automatic on and off function. If you finish brushing your teeth and put it in the violight, 6 minutes later it shuts off and is ready for the next time you brush. Why would someone continue to open it after they have already brushed their teeth and wonder why it keeps going on? Its because thats what its meant to do. Your suppose to keep your toothbrush in the unit after its is sanitized, taking it out of the unit and letting it air dry would just get more germs on it. I own a few other units and I gotta say violight has really great designs for everyone!Customer Review: Ciao Bacteria
Summary: 5 Stars
A great product. I initially had trouble with the light turning on, but I noticed that if I SLOWLY closed the lid, the light turned on EVERYTIME. That is the key to getting this product to work if you are one of those having trouble.
The size is great and is a great place to store your toothbrush whether you travel or not. Yes, a long time ago, you would just store your toothbrush in a special holder, but would you want to keep all that bacteria in your mouth. Doctors have recently discovered that not only is it important to keep your teeth clean, but this also gives you an insight into your personal health.
Enjoy and happy brushing!
