No matter how often you scrub and clean, microscopic critters will thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. In fact, a single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms-- millions! That means it's a good idea to sanitize something you stick in your mouth everyday, thus reducing your chances of infection.
Fortunately, the Violight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer offers an effective way to protect yourself and your family in a quick and easy-to-use package. Toothbrushers everywhere will like this trusty little gadget.
When we removed the sanitizer from its box, we were impressed with the stylish design. It is simple and sleek, with a silver matte-finished body and an opaque, light blue cap. While it looks like an ordinary toothbrush holder, it's actually furnished with a powerful UV germicidal light bulb. After plugging in the sanitizer, we inserted our brushes and pressed the "VIO" button on the front of the device. The bulb switched on, producing a soothing blue glow. In only ten short minutes the bulb switched off and our toothbrushes were left clean and safely stored in the sanitizer.
According to independent studies, the Violight is able to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria living on your toothbrush. Plus, it's ultra-safe to use, and you don't have to mess with dangerous, hot steam or boiling water. We used the Violight over and over again for a week, sanitizing our brushes after each use-- up three times a day. The device consistently did its job and, according to the manufacturer, one bulb should last over 2000 hours. This means you could clean four brushes over two hundred times.
The Violight has some other practical features that deserve mention. First, the bulb is very easy to access and replace when the time comes. Also, the cap snaps in and out of place with ease, revealing a removable drip tray. Although the UV light eliminates the germs and bacteria, it was still nice to have access to the drip tray to clean toothpaste residue and water marks. The Violight also features a non-slip base so you don't have to worry about it slipping off a wet countertop.
The real benefit of the Violight, though, is that it provides peace of mind and good protection from all kinds of nastiness that might be lurking on your trusty bristles. Although toothbrushes don't feel any different after being sanitized by the Violight, it's nice to know that your brushes are clean and germ free. After finding out that the Centers for Disease Control has even stated that toothbrushes can be a significant source of "potentially pathogenic organisms," we were glad the Violight was around. We recommend it for those who want the ultimate in brushing safety. Without a doubt, the Violight sanitizer puts the "clean" back in oral hygiene.

- Pretty good product: but company does not stand behind it!
I purchased two VioLight units a little over 3 years ago and have been relatively happy with them.Even had a problem with one not working only a few months after I had purchased it, and the company sent out a new base which fixed the known problem.
Recently on one of my units the soft on/off button has actually split open, is becoming hard and brittle, and it is becoming very difficult to turn it off and on.I would think being the most used part of the unit (that would be pressed ... Read More

- OK product, but not at this price
My wife found this product at a liquidation store for less than $10 around 3yrs ago. She got one for me and one for our adult daughter. Both are still working however one developed a balky switch after a couple of years so that it takes several pushes of the button to activate the device. The two star rating was based on the overall quality at the Amazon price. This is a perfectly acceptable device at $10 but at $50 I would be very disappointed in the build quality. I will leave the debate over efficacy ... Read More

- Nice but needs lots of cleaning
We used this for about a year before we became really tired of cleaning it every week. Tried the dishwasher and I think that was a no-no since most of the reflective coating on the inside came off!

- Feedback re:AsSeenonTVGuys
This review is specific to this seller, AsSeenonTVGuys. I've purchased from a number of Amazon merchants without a problem. That wasn't the case with AsSeenonTVGuys. The product was poorly packed and stopped working after a few weeks. I emailed them about an exchange and they directed me to the Violight customer since it's under warranty. There's nothing explicitly wrong with this--I'm sure it's all spelled out in their policies. But is is a far cry from other Amazon marketplace experiences I've had. If ... Read More
