Germ Guardian Air Sanitizer model EV9-102 destroys airborne bacteria, viruses, and germs and significantly reduces mold and fungal spores. This new product uses ultraviolet-C energy (UV-C), which has proven to be effective in commercial and industrial applications for many years. A powerful yet quiet fan sanitizes the air in a typical 10'x20' room. The Germ Guardian is not an ionizing air cleaner and does not produce ozone. Germ Guardian's powerful fan moves germ-filled air into the chamber where the germs are bombarded with light from the UV-C module. Only Germ Guardian has a reflective aluminum sterilization chamber, which intensifies the effect of the UV-C light. The result is a filter-free unit that destroys airborne germs - more than filters can trap or low-level UV-C lights can destroy - and flows cleaned air back into the room. This small unit is designed to sit on a table or desk. Blue glowing rings indicate that the product is at work. You can vary the air flow using a control with limitless settings.The stainless steel and aluminum unit is virtually indestructible, safe for use around children and pets, and cool to the touch.

Summary: beats Ionic Pro
Comment: I have purchased 3 of these Germ Gaurdians. The chrome one for the living room (also comes in other colors) and it definitely cleans the air etc. I have 2 of the table top machine, one for the computer room and one in the bedroom. I sleep much better at night because the air is fresh and clean and clear to breathe fresh air while sleeping is great. I feel the Germ Gaurdian is worth the money. The larger unit has a 5 yr warranty, compared to others only having a 1-2 yr warranty. I highly recommend either of these units. My grand-daughters even tell me how much better the air is and how much cleaner the house smells.

Summary: Research UV-C before you rate this poor...its a very good product with some limitations
Comment: This product works to STERILIZE air by destroying bacteria and mold spores DNA and does so well...if you are looking for something to remove particulate matter i'd buy a rabbit air by mitsubishi...OUTSTANDING PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE or IQ Air, BluAir, or Austin which are also outstanding but plan to spend some bucks for those units....this UV unit makes an EXCELLENT supplement....to those who complain about the low fan speed, if you research UV-C you'll understand why the fan speed is somewhat low which in turn does create less air exchange. The product does not claim to clean germs and mold in the air in a 200sqft space more than once in an hour.....which obviously by most air purifier standards is extremely minimal...BUT...find me a better machine at killing mold toxins and bacteria at the DNA level? Bacteria and mold need time in the aluminum lined light chamber to be destroyed so the germ guardian air exchange is low to allow the unit to perform its job while the aluminum intensifies the strength of the light. UV will also destroy some VOC's but not remove particulate matter (dust). The bottom line is this product WORKS to KILL MOLD AND BACTERIA VERY WELL! If you are trying to sterilize a large space (more than 200sqft) I would add this a supplement to a larger machine or buy two. Again, EXCELLENT device if you are looking to STERILIZE your air!...if dust, dander, and other particulates are an issue buy a rabbit and buy this to sterilize.

Summary: Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says, "most home air purifiers fall short"
Comment: UV purifiers. These devices rely on ultraviolet light to neutralize biological contaminants. Experts agree that UV light is effective in destroying microbes such as bacteria, dust mites and mold spores, given sufficient exposure time. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), however, most home air purifiers fall short: "Bacterial spores would require a relatively long time under the light for the light to have a killing effect. Most household air cleaners move air too quickly to provide adequate exposure time." Without the addition of a filter and fan, UV purifiers are ineffective against particles such as dust, pollen and pet dander, and some experts have raised concerns about the safety of UV units in household settings.

Summary: loud fan
Comment: I bought one of these from the local Lowe's and returned it. The fan in it was loud even on the lowest setting. This would have been fine if it were moving a lot of air, but as the others on here have said it barely moves air.. so why all the noise? It was louder than my computer.
Also, it doesn't need to move a lot of air through it to treat all of the air in a room over the course of 24hrs.
I'll try another at some point.. and if it's loud then I'll swap the fan for a higher quality one.

Summary: This is a gimmick!
Comment: When I first learned about the Germ Guardian, I thought, "Wow! I've just got to have it!" The manufacturers claimed that it was tested and found effective by the Harvard School of Public Health so I was impressed and ordered it. It turned out to be a slick looking product, space age and all and it looked good in the house but unfortunately, that's the only good thing I can say about it because after 5 days, my sneezing (I have allergic rhinitis) was no better, I felt the same as I did before it arrived and then, one day, I came down with an absolutely severe allergic attack and this thing did absolutely, 100% NOTHING!! So I have sent it back for refund. I don't recommend it at all and I feel that the whole thing is just a big bad gimmick.
