Customer Reviews of Violight VIO200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer

Customer Review: I don't mind keeping it out on the sink when I stay over when visiting family.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the greatest idea, because it holds my toothbrush and keeps it clean while in my toiletry bag. It is sleek looking and compact so it fits in easily when I travel. Toothbrushes are meant to CLEAN your teeth but I've read that they can also harbor millions of bacteria and that they thrive in the warm, moist bathroom environment. This has a UV germicidal lightbulb to kill those germs.
Being a bit of an accessory person- I like the sleek look of this item, as it is a nice matte silver color. I don't mind keeping it out on the sink when I stay over when visiting family. I just close the lid and it begins sanitizing my toothbrush with the UV light.
It doesn't make any noise and it is battery operated.
I haven't had to change the batteries, and I've had it for months now. I keep it in my toiletry kit and it is always clean and ready for when I travel.
I have the Full-size VIOlight version for my house, as well.

Seems to work just fine

Customer Review: Unfortunately...
Summary: 4 Stars

I was given this Sanitizer as a gift for a trip. Since I had been told that one of the ways that people get colds is from the bacteria that remain on one's toothbrush, I was pleased with this gift. Unfortunately, mine did not turn off automatically after the 7 minute period needed for sanitizing, so when I returned home I called Violight. The person who answered the phone spoke clear English and was very helpful. All I had to do was repackage the Sanitizer and put it outside my front door, as they ordered a prepaid slip, so UPS just came and picked it up. It is a pleasure to do business with a company that will live up to their warranty (with no hassle) and either repair or replace it. She even said they would do their best to get it back to me before my next trip date. This is a good-liking item as well, and has a built-in drain for water drippings, which is a breeze to clean. I have already bought one to give to my traveling adult daughter, who seems prone to catching colds. I plan to use mine at home as well. It uses two AA batteries, so bring spares if you take it on a long trip, as I cannot even estimate how frequently you will need to replace them at this writing. Had I not had to return this item, I would have given it 5 stars, as I am pleased with it.

Customer Review: i'm returning the items.
Summary: 1 Stars

ordered 2. opened 1 only to realize that it is much to big and bulky for travel. for $30 each, i'd rather get a regular toothbrush and dispose of it when it gets nasty! i'm returning the items.

Customer Review: These are helpful and appear to work.
Summary: 5 Stars

These are helpful and appear to work. A bit large and heavier than normal toothbrush holder.

Description of Violight VIO200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer

VIOlight stops bacterial organizisms dead in their tracks, eliminating millions of microscopic bugs that can cause the flu, colds and other illnesses. Comes with a free toothbrush.
No matter how often you scrub and clean, microscopic critters will still thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. In fact, a single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms -- millions! -- which means it's a good idea to sanitize something that you put in your mouth several times a day if you want to reduce your chances of bacterial infection.


The VIO200 is a handy, travel-friendly way to kill bacteria on your toothbrush. View larger.

Violight puts the "clean" back in oral hygiene.
If you already have the Violight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer, then you're aware of its nifty design and the peace of mind that it offers. However, it can be a bit difficult to tote the four-brush VS100 on business trips and vacations. That's where the new VIO200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer comes in. That's right, you can take toothbrush sanitization with you on the road, keeping your toothbrush sanitized wherever you go.

There's nothing worse than getting sick while traveling, but it can happen to anyone. Some people are exposed to germs in an obvious manner, such as sitting next to someone who is coughing and sneezing on the plane. But did you know that you can also be harmed by germs if you lay your toothbrush down on the counter in your hotel room? Whether you're staying in a cheap road-side motel or a five-star beach resort, hotel rooms are filled with germs. Even when a bathroom looks clean it may still suffer from microbial contamination.

And here's something to think about: if you plan on staying at a friend or family member's house instead of a hotel during your trip, the germ count in the bathroom will probably be even higher. Even if the people you're staying with are "clean freaks," bathrooms are such a breeding ground for germs that it is near impossible for them to be bacteria-free. According to independent studies, Violight is able to kill 99.9-percent of the bacteria living on your toothbrush (including the influenza virus, streptococcus and staphylococcus) with its germicidal UV light . So no matter where you stay while you're traveling, you can rest assured the VIO200 will help keep your toothbrush clean and your immune system in tip-top working order. Plus, it's ultra-safe to use -- you don't have to mess with dangerous hot steam or boiling water.

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," you'll be glad that the Violight is around. So if you're looking for the ultimate in brushing safety, you'll rest easy knowing that this handy sanitizer puts the "clean" back in oral hygiene.

There are few other things you can do to protect yourself from harmful germs. Travel experts advise you to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after you touch items that are prone to bacteria. You can also wipe down door knobs, lamp switches, telephones, and countertops with antibacterial swabs. And when it comes to the bathroom, whatever you do, keep your toothbrush off that counter. As Violight Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer inventor Joel Pinksys says, "You wouldn't put a dirty fork or spoon that has been sitting on the counter overnight into your mouth without sanitizing it would you? The same should go for your toothbrush."

So take it from Joel, get yourself a travel sanitizer. This device, which holds a single toothbrush and is powered by two AA batteries, serves as both a sanitizer and a safe, clean place to store your toothbrush while you're traveling. After you brush and rinse, simply put the brush in the case, push the button, and seven minutes later the device will shuts off automatically, and your toothbrush will be sanitized. The process couldn't be easier, and the results are well worth the effort.
