No matter how often you scrub and clean, microscopic critters will thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. In fact, a single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms-- millions! That means it's a good idea to sanitize something you stick in your mouth everyday, thus reducing your chances of infection. 
The Violight's nifty design, mixed with the peace of mind it offers, make it a great addition to the bathroom. | Fortunately, the Violight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer offers an effective way to protect yourself and your family in a quick and easy-to-use package. Toothbrushers everywhere will like this trusty little gadget. When we removed the sanitizer from its box, we were impressed with the stylish design. It is simple and sleek, with a silver matte-finished body and an opaque, light blue cap. While it looks like an ordinary toothbrush holder, it's actually furnished with a powerful UV germicidal light bulb. After plugging in the sanitizer, we inserted our brushes and pressed the "VIO" button on the front of the device. The bulb switched on, producing a soothing blue glow. In only ten short minutes the bulb switched off and our toothbrushes were left clean and safely stored in the sanitizer. According to independent studies, the Violight is able to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria living on your toothbrush. Plus, it's ultra-safe to use, and you don't have to mess with dangerous, hot steam or boiling water. We used the Violight over and over again for a week, sanitizing our brushes after each use-- up three times a day. The device consistently did its job and, according to the manufacturer, one bulb should last over 2000 hours. This means you could clean four brushes over two hundred times.  | The Violight has some other practical features that deserve mention. First, the bulb is very easy to access and replace when the time comes. Also, the cap snaps in and out of place with ease, revealing a removable drip tray. Although the UV light eliminates the germs and bacteria, it was still nice to have access to the drip tray to clean toothpaste residue and water marks. The Violight also features a non-slip base so you don't have to worry about it slipping off a wet countertop. 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," we were glad the Violight was around. We recommend it for those who want the ultimate in brushing safety. Without a doubt, the Violight sanitizer puts the "clean" back in oral hygiene.

 Peace of Mind January 21, 2008
I purchased the travel VIOlight case for use with my Oral-B power toothbrush head. I don't know anything about UV light killing bacteria, so I can't say whether the VIOlight will actually decrease my likelihood of getting sick. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5-stars - that part of it hasn't been proven to me yet. However at the very least it does give me peace of mind that it is in a protected case in the bathroom, so I no longer have that little voice in the back of my head going "ewwww" when I flush the toilet! Plus when I travel, I won't have to worry if I packed it up when it was still wet. Now I can put it away AND still have it get cleaned. I can't comment on the travel VIOlight's drip tray yet since I've only used my VIOlight once and haven't tried to remove the drip tray. My Oral-B power toothbrush head fit into the travel case just fine.

This is better then I had hoped ,my husband actually liked it and uses it every time.finally a gift that is used and not stuffed away in the closet.It is compact and fits nicely on our vanity.
great toothbrush sterilizer January 12, 2008
Have had one for year and it has fallen on marble floor several times and it has never broken. just got one for my husband's bathroom. Tip: turn the brush around so that the sides face the light occasionally. This product is essential for everyone. I also purchased a sterilizer for my mouth
appliance that I wear when I sleep.

 Violight Toothbrush Sanitizer December 18, 2007
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, however had I paid full price for this item, I would have been annoyed. Luckily, I had a $20 coupon, so $30 seemed more reasonable for what it is worth. I can't scientifically tell you if it works, however at least some sort of sanitizer is better than the nothing we had before.
