Review on πŸ”† Pur UV 55w 110v: Ultimate Disinfection with Remote Timer Control- Kills 99.9% Mold, Bacteria, Germs, Dustmites, and Viruses in Your Living Room or Bedroom by Leslie Clark

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Light and easy to use UV light

I received this product a few days ago and have tested it. It feels very light and the build quality is okay but not particularly solid. Controlling the light is very simple - you turn it on (there is a hard switch and a soft switch), set the timer and you're done. It will beep for 1 minute to give you time to leave the room before the lamp turns on. The light looks ok to me, but I haven't used it long enough to judge its effectiveness. I use it to sanitize my basement and home theater, both of which are quite large and moldy. I will report on the effectiveness in a few weeks. The remote control is also easy to use, using the same buttons as on the unit itself. The remote range is only about 10-15 feet, so I can't control it from the top floor while the unit is in the basement. Also, the remote doesn't use AA or AAA batteries, it uses a not-so-popular small battery, which confuses me. In general, everything works fine so far. I'll find out in a few weeks whether it actually disinfects rooms as advertised.

Pros
  • Technology: Lamps have germicidal UV radiation and emit light with a wavelength of 254 nm. UV sterilization has been used to sterilize medical instruments and in water treatment plants for many years. UV light can kill bacteria, virus, germs, dust mite eggs, dust mites, mold, C. difficile, etc. by destroying their DNA.
