(More customer reviews)I ws so excited to get This. I actually bought it over a year ago at walgreens on sale. It was about the same price as here. $15. I thought this would be great for my kids toothbrushes. But over time I discovered that bacteria and mold builds up on the inside. Down in the bottom, under the plastic toothbrush holder that blocks the bottom two thirds of the unit from view. I started to see black spots on the brush handles and investigated further. The brush holder bracket is not easy to remove, but once I did I was appalled with the disgusting build up of mold and bacteria all over inside the unit. Wherever the UV light does not get to, was disgusting and covered with it.
Then I cleaned the whole inside the sanitizer the best I could. Even washed it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and followed up with alcohol. I tried to make sure the kids washed their whole toothbrush each time they used them. I even followed up behind them and washed them myself. After a month I checked inside under the toothbrush holder again and it was once again nasty and black scum growing everywhere. I tossed the whole unit in the trash.
They should have used a full length light, or some kind of reflective surface might have worked to bounce the UV rays around inside. But hiding the problem area from view doesnt make it safe. Even though I think it was a fantastic idea, I think its a horrible design , and I would not suggest buying this at all. I can see why the price dropped so much so quickly. Im surprised there has not been a voluntary or mandatory recall on it.
