 It works - but beware!May 05, 2010
First, I'd like to say that the Sanitizing Light Wands DO work - slowly. However, there is a caveat with the small "travel wand." It eats batteries! Yep - put in a new set and just let it sit for a couple weeks or so without even using it, and the batteries are dead! I finally called Verilux, and was told that there should have been a sticker on the travel wand, alerting me to the fact that the unit is always on "stand-by" mode, and thus slowly drains the batteries, even if it isn't being used. Bummer! Buyer beware. . .we bought a deGERM-inator light from Spectroline. It is both stronger and longer-lasting, even if more expensive.

 Not worth the moneyApr 20, 2010
I purchased this product and was pretty disappointed. I believe that it makes a difference but this product is not worth the money. It turns off every time you turn it sideways. If you decide to get one, get a $20 one from Walgreens.

A waste of money & time!!!Mar 24, 2010
In short, this wand is the biggest piece of junk. I purchased the larger model, and it does not work like it claims to do. I am not really sure if the previous reviews were fictiously created, or those people do not know what they are doing, but this machine is worthless.
Dear Verilux - I want my $75 back and my gas money because you wasted my time driving to the store to purchase this piece of junk!!! :0/

 Pain to use. I think it works thoFeb 26, 2010
As other reviewers have mentioned this can be a big pain in the tookus to use. I did spend the LONNNNNNNNNNG time going over my mattress with it and noticed a marked improvement in my asthma. I would not use this for hard surfaces tho. It's perfectly safe and everything, but I have a life to lead. I'm glad to have it on hand so I can disinfect soft surfaces or things like that, but really - if you have a family (which I don't) and a sick or vulnerable person in it.... you probably have more to do than passing this wand verrrrrrrrrry slowly over everything you own.
I am really glad I got it for the bedding tho. My sinuses are much better for sure. When you sleep you are at your most vulnerable to your allergies and asthma. But make no mistake, you are going to be stood holding this thing over your bed for a WHILE.

Don't waste your money--no effect on moldApr 06, 2009
I really wanted to like this product. The theory is good and I thought it would help give me a cleaner and more dust mite-free house. Unfortunately, it has no effect on mold. I certainly now doubt its effectiveness on the other things it's touted to kill--dust mites and viruses. Since I can't really test its effectiveness on dust mites and viruses, I thought I could at least do my own simple test to see what effect it had on mold. Mold was one example, even on the manufacturer's website, of something this product would kill. I took two small glass bowls and filled each one with a small amount of orange juice. I then exposed one of the bowls with the UV-C light for more than five minutes (I placed the light on top of the bowl and let it shine down on the orange juice at a distance of about one inch for the five minutes, turning the bowl about halfway through to enhance the exposure). The unexposed bowl was the control. After a couple of days, mold grew in both bowls, the same amount of mold in each bowl. Thinking that maybe the mold arrived in the bowls after the first UV-C light exposure, I then exposed the first bowl again with the UV-C light for about 6-7 minutes (same method). This should test whether the UV-C light would kill the existing mold. If there was no further mold growth in the first bowl, then I would believe that the thing worked (i.e., killed mold). But again, after another almost two days, it had no effect. The mold continued to grow equally in both bowls. Whether or not my test method was optimum, these things should have had at least some effect on the mold, especially the second lengthy exposure to the existing mold. These things are too expensive to keep on the hope that they have some effect on dust mites and viruses when they have no effect on mold as advertised, so I returned them.
