Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although this product was specifically marketed as a "baby" product, it is definitely versatile enough to fit a variety of different items. I specifically got this for my parents because they go grocery shopping twice a week and often end up touching a variety of different items when they are out. This box hence becomes essential for things you are not able to wash (like soap for your other items when you come back home). After returning home, we throw different things in this box -- cell phones, keys, masks, wallets, in the box and let it run its sterilize cycle. We don't run the auto cycle on this since we don't want to put our phones through 75C of fiery hell, although this is definitely a good option if you do not have anything electronic inside (like N95 or disposable masks). As you can see, when the sterilize mode is activated, there is a blue-green grow on top of the unit that tells you that it is on. This mode lasts about 15 minutes and draws about 4.65W AC. On the heating/drying mode, it goes all the way up to 137W and the insides get quite hot. The insides have a mirror-like finish which helps reflect the UV rays around which ensures a more complete sterilization. This is unlike many plastic UV sterilizer boxes that only have one LED on the top which leaves the underside completely untouched. The sterilizer also gives you a removable rack so you can put anything that you want its underside to be exposed to the UV rays (cell phones and masks are good candidates). I didn't really notice this when buying this, but the box actually uses a removable 4W Philips G4 T5 germicidal UV-C lamp (8000 lifetime hours). It is good to see that they are using lamps from a reputable brand, such that you know that you are really getting what you are paying for (versus a plastic box with a purple LED that would not do anything at a similar cost). You can also replace the lamp if/when it burns out, even though at 8000 hours this would mean you could run the sterilization cycle almost 32,000 times on this single lamp. This was a bit costly, but for the size and utility during a pandemic, I think this is pretty much worth the cost.
