Customer Reviews of Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, Blue
Customer Review: What a waste of money.
Summary: 1 Stars
What a great idea. What a poor execution of an idea. Who was in charge of product development? I would recommend they actually should have tried to use the device before they put it on the market. Zero stars.
Key points:
* Wastes batteries. I'm not sure how this happens since it doesn't work most of the time.
* The light, and pretty much any other access point that water can get through, it will and does. Which makes the actual usage intermitent. I found that if you let it dry out for a few days it will usually dry enough for it to work again. Shaking helps - sometimes. But, isn't the point to be using it every time you use your toothbrush? Critics may say, "shake the toothbrush off before you put it away". Been there. Done that. As carefull as I am, water leaks in, accumulates and compromises the usability.
* For the money this costs it should have a life span of more than a few weeks. A disclaimer should be included as to how long the unit will actually operate in regular use. This unit is virtually disposable given it's life span.
I recieved Violight as a gift some time after the one I purchased gave out - which lasted about 5 weeks. The new one was no better and lasted about 6 weeks. I also recieved the Zapi UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, also by Violight, as a gift; it lasted about 4 weeks. They didn't learn anything from the failures of the first effort. Still leaks water into the unit and makes for build up of moisture and subsequently mold/mildew if you don't take it apart frequently to clean it. The opening for the toothbrush won't easily accept wider head brushes. Horrible design because as my brush scrapes through the opening I think "great it's going to be cleaned off... but what about when I pull it back through?"...
Final review - Violight, go back to the drawing board. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: Cheap, non-functional piece of c*ap made in China
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't waste your money on the Zapi. I bought one and the UV light doesn't function. This would be fine if Violight sold replacement lights. I work on computers, I could replace the UV light even though there are some fine wires. But no, I don't even have that option. I am calling tomorrow, but since I never registered for the warranty, I am not hopeful. This sounds like a great idea, it's a cute product, but the manufacturing quality control just isn't there.
If you want to blow $20+ dollars to stare at a colored, lead-weighted egg that has a bright LED but non-functioning UV light, this toy is for you.
Otherwise, pass on by.
Violight: Are you reading these reviews? When are you going to get your manufacturing act together? When are you going to offer an easier way to get a replacement bulb on your other units?

Customer Review: Zapi - not so much!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have only used the Zapi 2 times and it broke! The light doesn't go on and of course original pkging gone at this point - really disappointed!
