It does make a bit of noise due to the impeller fan inside the unit. This noise is very quiet when you first get it, but gets louder and more high pitched when the unit is about to quit working. But, usually, you can make it work again by buying just the inside bulb from the manufacturer's website and replacing that part. You can tell when it is about to go out also by the light on the front. It is usually blue but sometimes turns orange when it needs a new bulb. The bulbs last for 12 months to two years, sometimes even three depending on how much you keep it plugged in and on how dirty your air is. The unit uses about 6 watts per hour so it's pretty energy efficient.
It seems to really help, especially with airborne mold. I've had farmers lung or lung infections before I started using air purifiers like this so I tend to be rather sensitive to mold. Now that I'm using these, I've noticed that I have far less trouble with mold in my lungs. It also helps get rid of that musty smell that some places have (which is due to mold). My wife's classroom used to smell musty and she and the kids would have the sniffles often, even when they didn't have the flu but not anymore now that she's got one of these in her room.
As for odor reduction, I can't say that it really does a lot. It kind of depends on how strong the odor is and whether the thing that is producing the odor is still present after a while. If something makes a strong odor but is then removed, it does seem to make the smell go away sooner. If the item that is making the odor stays in the room, these things can't keep up with it. It doesn't release any smells of its own, so it won't mask the bad odor with anything like an air freshener does. If you do use air fresheners though, I recommend keeping the air freshener and this Germ Guardian as far apart as you can because I'd imagine that making the Germ Guardian try to clean the particles of air freshener chemical out of the air will wear the Germ Guardian out faster.
The best part is that it uses blue light technology to kill mold and germs with ultraviolet light rather than ozone production. Air purifiers that use ozone production actually wind up contributing to indoor air pollution and can make you just as sick as the stuff you are trying to clean out of the air. I've tried ozone producing air purifiers in the past, and they gave me terrible headaches. I don't have that problem with the Germ Guardian.
If you notice in a lot of restaurants and hospitals, this UV light technology is used there as well. With the Germ Guardian, the fan draws air towards the bottom of the unit, flows it past the UV light and back out the top of the unit. Though it makes the unit make a little noise, it's better than the passive UV filters since it processes the air in the room more efficiently and takes less time to clean the air column in the room. If you use it in conjunction with a fan (either on the ceiling or floor) it can work even faster, especially if it is a floor fan and you can blow the room's air towards the unit. This is especially helpful in rooms that are approaching the upper limit of the unit's capacity which I think is something like 50 - 70 square feet.
gadgets and gear for myself "anti virus arsenal collection"
I knew I would be staying at random hotels that may or may not be deep cleaning and following CDC guidelines.
Have been sleeping with one of these plugged right next to me since August. I can breathe highly fresh disinfected air. You really can feel the difference!
I also purchased one of the large Guardian air purifier round tanks to place at my new apartment. People have commented on the freshness and air quality in the apartment even though I have smoked inside the apartment, which I never did before, but I moved to a cold state.
Neither of the air purifiers make much noise, and the tank has a silent mode, which makes it even quieter.
I just bought a new pair of these. I noticed there's a new version which is a 7 inch rectangular plug in. In looking at reviews and customer pictures, I decided to stick with this model, because it does not block the second outlet, like the new version seems to do, plus the plug rotates, so it can fit better, if needed.
The blue light makes a great soothing nightlight, and I don't like nighlights, so this is a compliment! First time I don't mind having a nightlight, specially right next to me. :)
I bought these two extra ones to replace the one I had been using since August, as I noticed, it was getting dusty vents. Cleaned the first one and plugged it in the kitchen, and will probably put the new third one in the bathroom, close to the living room windows or any other area inside the apartment, that may not have the best ventilation and air circulation..
This model is for small places. Hmmm...should check if there's an outlet in the walk-in closet.
By the way, I used the first one for 6 consecutive months 24/7, and other than a little cleaning of the vents with a microfiber dry towel, it is still going. I noticed many questions about how long does the light last, before needing replacement. Manufacturer says 6 - 8 months depending on usage. I can vouch that claim.
The replacement bulbs are available at Amazon at a very reasonable price. I have not purchased one yet. Ì figured I wait to see how all three of them perform over the next several months.
Bottom line, excellent air quality, performance and design! Great value for a fair price.
