Sunbeam #SBUV001 UV Personal Toothbrush Sanitizer Review

I travel internationally and purchased this to keep germs at bay while abroad. The unit looks nice and worked just fine.
My low rating is over the design of the unit.
Each time I would toss it in my luggage and arrive at a new destination I would find the unit was on. While packed n the suitcase the unit would start another power cycle. End result is dead batteries after a few days of traveling.
My hack is to remove the batteries and reinstall upon arrival. A better unit design would be an on/off switch for when the unit is traveling to avoid inadvertent power cycles.
After 3 weeks of use the plate under brush head has tarnished. This premature wearing indicates cheap parts.

Sunbeam UV 4-Toothbrush Sanitizer Review

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.
