Handy Gadget, November 23, 2008
This review is from: Purely Products 5004P-P Hand Held Pocket Purifier, Pink (Tools & Hardware)
This UV sanitizer seems like such a great idea - I immediately used it on my remote controls, computer/laptop keyboards & other electronics around the house. I wipe those things off, but hesitate to use a moist spray disinfectant on them. Now maybe we all won't share the cold & flu this winter as in the last few years.
It is a little bulky, that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars...still a very good price compared to the one that flips open.
~~~~~Well, it must be working! We have not shared any cold/flu bugs this winter and it is almost spring now.~~~~~

Can't guarantee it does a thing, BUT for a germaphobe ... IT'S GREAT!, November 19, 2009
This review is from: Purely Products 5004P-P Hand Held Pocket Purifier, Pink (Tools & Hardware)
I bought one long ago at a very high price. The bulb eventually burned out and it seemed impossible to find a reasonably priced replacement UVC bulb.
Years later, this came back and was down to $14 in Pink.
First: The pink in not that 'pink' and if anyone is thinking about it looking like a woman's product ... don't worry, it looks reddish and you won't be using it in front of people.
GO BY PRICE: IF the Black or Pink is cheaper at the time you purchase this, buy the cheaper one and don't worry about the color.
NOW - This is just my personal opinion and why I LOVE THIS DEVICE! I have terrible allergies and if I use it on my bed pillows before I go to sleep, I swear (although it could be just psychological) there is a dramatic reduction in the itchy feeling from whatever dust mite/allergen that there may be.
When I don't use it, I seem to be swatting my face and scratching my eyes a lot and wake up much more congested.
PROBLEM: THE LIGHT IS DANGEROUS (UVC) AND I REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE CAP PUT IT UNDER/ON THE PILLOW AND TURN IT ON AND LEAVE THE ROOM FOR A FEW MINUTES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH EXPOSURE I AM GETTING, BUT WORSE IS WHEN I SET IT UP AND FORGET ABOUT IT. IT STAYS ON UNTIL THE BATTERIES RUN OUT .... MEANING DEFINITELY NEED TO USE 4 RECHARABLE AA - BUT IT IS ALSO THE CAUSE OF MY BULBS ALWAYS BURNING OUT PREMATURELY.
I ALSO USE IT INFRONT OF MY WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER, LEAVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES DURING ALLERGY SEASON (PROPPING IT UP SO THE LIGHT ENTERS THE VENT AREA WHERE THE COLD AIR COME OUT) AND IT SEEMS TO REDUCE ALLERGY PROBLEMS INDOOR.
I also sometimes put them inside my gym shoes to kill any sweat bacteria from a hard workout that might cause odor/stinky shoes.
Mostly neurotic uses, but I think to some degree, it has really been a major part of my allergy control program.
As for sterilizing, I assume it works, but without any way to known for sure, I prefer to use an alcohol swab to disinfect in public. They are super cheap, small and much easier than lugging this thing around. (the kind for medical needle swabs - 100 for like $1.99 in any pharmacy/drug store).

Great Item!!!, February 24, 2010
This review is from: Purely Products 5004P-P Hand Held Pocket Purifier, Pink (Tools & Hardware)
We bought this Item, because we know UV-C works. The Pocket Purifier works well, is compact & even has a little flashlight built-in. We also purchased another one for a family member. Thanks!
