Product Description

VIOLIGHT Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer & Storage System - Studies show that moist environments, such as your bathroom, are a haven for bacteria. Germicidal UV technology physically destroys the DNA of these micro-organisms. It is a proven technology used in hospitals and dental offices to eliminate bacteria, mold, spores and viruses. A single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms, which translate into harmful bacteria ? bacteria that thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. VIOlight stops these microorganisms dead in their track. Independent studies prove that the patent-pending VIOlight system eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria that thrive on your toothbrush. That's millions of microscopic bugs that can cause flu, colds and other illnesses, zapped in minutes! This VIOlight Travel holds a single toothbrush or brushhead. Perfect for vacations or the dorm. Designed by the world-renown Philippe Starck, VIOlight Travel matches the home version with it's silver body and frosted white top. VIOlight uses a germicidal UV bulb ? the same technology used in hospitals ? to kill germs. Sanitization is activated with a simple push of a button. A blue-violet glow on top of the VIOlight lets you know the sanitizer is working. The entire process takes only 10 minutes. When finished, the bulb automatically shuts off and your toothbrush is fresh, clean, and safely stored for the next time you brush.

Customer Reviews

Ok so far
Seems to be working fine. In my humble opinion, the size of the item is as compact as it can be with relation to toothbrush size and the size of the light mechanism that has to effectively kill germs. Again, I'm just stating my opinion even though others have complained.

Started off great...then tanked!
This product started off great. Then, within about 4 weeks, it would only come on if you shook it a little. Replaced the batteries. Worked great for a couple days, then would only come on with a little shake. Changed batteries again but still would only work if shaken a little. Now, completely dead after just 10 weeks.

Daughter's Delight!
I really can't attest to how well this item performs, as I purchased it for a gift. I can tell you that my "germ freak" daughter is delighted!
