3 out of 5 stars Use Hydrogen Peroxide Instead!   June 25, 2008
There is a much cheaper alternative to this product.

Go to the drug store and buy a quart bottle of hydrogen peroxide. It should cost about $.99. Come home and fill a small glass with the hydrogen peroxide. Then put your toothbrush in the hydrogen peroxide for about an hour. At the end of the hour you will have a disinfected toothbrush. You will notice that bubbles will form around the toothbrush as the hydrogen peroxide disinfects it.



5 out of 5 stars Phillips Sonicare UV Sanitizer   June 15, 2008
I purchased the Phillips Sonicare UV Sanitizer because I was concerned about how healthy my toothbrush heads were. I like having this product. It fits nicely on my bathroom counter and is attractive. I not only feel that my toothbrush heads are more germ free, but I also like it because I can store my heads in the sanitizer between using. The sanitizer has a convenient tray that the brush heads fit into and if the tray gets dirty it takes just seconds to clean. I would recommend this product to others.Philips Sonicare UV Sanitizer


5 out of 5 stars Not All Bacteria   June 5, 2008
I bought this not to kill the bacteria that might accrue from general toothbrushing in my mouth, but any bacteria that lingers in the bathroom in general. There is another review which goes into detail about digestive bacteria, etc. which is all very well and good (what? I can give up yogurt?) but I personally am not the only source of bacteria in my bathroom.

And if I linger on that, I might buy a new toothbrush head daily. Bleah.

It's proven that this type of product does zap bacteria, that's enough for me. Nice compact size, and it stores nicely too.



5 out of 5 stars Philips Sonicare UV Sanitizer a Must Have   May 20, 2008
