Review on Remington Airetrex 365 UV Home Air Sanitizer (REM-7365UV-120) by Kevin King

Fan1 mode, lamp not on: 20W Fan2 mode, lamp not on: 15W The lamp adds about 11 W when switched on. The manual says the total output is 35 watts, so nothing suspicious about that. My concern is that you can't see enough of what appears to be direct light coming from the front of the device. Shouldn't we avoid direct UV exposure? I have no intention of sitting in front of it and staring longingly into the forbidden light, but doesn't UV bombardment ruin the paint/varnish/plastic it might be aimed at? this thing can be done or not. I don't have any particular odors or mold that I'm trying to control with this, I'm just concerned about my indoor air quality and figured I should try something. Well, since that's not the case, they asked me to rate three things: Thickness: I admire it when I'm asked to rate the "thickness" of a device. It's really thick and square as you would expect from something that needs an internal chamber to pump air to make the UV lamp work. Noise Level: It's loud. It sounds like an oven or bathroom fan (if you have one). It doesn't bother me much because he's very consistent. almost like a white noise generator. Sleep mode: There is a timer you can set (in hours) after which it will turn off automatically. I haven't used it, but it's so simple I have no reason to believe it won't work. After reviewing the manual again, it turns out that there is a similar auto-activation feature you can set, which I don't want to use either.
