simplehuman - Cleanstation Phone Sanitizer with UV-C Light - Slate Stainless Steel

I purchased this phone sanitizer last month online (since it’s not sold in-store) and it shipped within 7 days. My partner has really bad OCD and the plan was to use this daily to sanitize our phones after getting home each day. Since we would use this often, I figured spending the extra money for a high quality product wouldn’t be a bad idea. This product worked great for about a month and then out of nowhere, it stopped working. The phone sanitizer works by placing your phone through the top and then the phone begins to descend into the casing. Once it’s done sanitizing (after about 25-30 seconds) the phone slides back out for an easy grab. In my case, once we put the phone in, this product no longer takes the phone into the casing to have the phone sanitized. The case itself feels hot for some reason and we can’t figure out a way to reset it. Pros: - easy to use - looks great, very aesthetic - feels like a high quality product - great concept Cons: - has to be plugged in (wireless option would be way better) - stopped working after 30 days - phone will get stuck at times if you have a case on (without a case - works great)

Great phone sanitizer. I like the material, its a brushed aluminum. Setup was easy, it just comes with a power brick. I was gladly surprised that its motorized. I thought you just dumped the phone inside, however you place it in (a 1/4 of the phone fits initially) and then it lowers the phone automatically. If your phone is placed in, but you are using an incompatible/too thick phone case, it will reject it right away. You must try place it several ways, it may take it, if not, it's the case. I know its made for iPhone 13 and 13 pros with slim cases, but I have tried other big phones (like my Samsung galaxy Note 5 ultra) and it fits fine and cleans it without a case just fine, however, YMMV, since other brands other than iPhone 13's and pros are not advertised. In all, great phone sanitizer (does it with UV light), its every gentle and only takes 30 seconds. In these days of dirty surfaces, viruses etc all around us, great way to keep your phones sanitized!

The Cleanstation gives you a simple way to sanitize your most used and probably dirtiest device. The product feels very well made and I love the minimalist look to it. Setup and use doesn’t get much simpler, plug it in, put in your phone and 30 seconds later it pops back out like a piece of toast from a toaster! If you use a large bulky case this won’t work, using the Apple leather case on a 13 pro max was no problem though. If the claims are true about UV-C light it gives me piece of mind in the age of Covid. Though this has a premium price, Simplehuman has a well earned name for making quality products and the Cleanstation feels the same.

I'm considered Hygiene Freak, and when it comes to sanitization, I'm the first among others to use it as it makes my life calm. Given the state of the entire world around us and germs spreading on everyday devices, and doubtlessly, the smartphone is becoming a solid base for collecting germs. This clean station comes in handy to sanitize and neutralize germs in a clean and straightforward method. Simplehuman cleanstation is a modern stainless steel and stylish design close to the Simplehuman trash bin. It is made of excellent quality and sanitizes using UV light in 30 seconds. The instruction states that the cleanstation is compatible with iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro Max (with a slim case). The sanitation process is simple and easy and has a futuristic look. I dropped my iPhone 13 mini and Pro Max sequentially, and the station, without any effort from me, pulled the iPhone in, and after 30 seconds with a pleasant chime of completion, it pushed it back up, and that is it. The LED on top of the cleanstation is gorgeous. I loved it so much.

I am loving my Simplehuman Cleanstation Phone Sanitizer so far. It's been a really nice addition to our household and germ cleaning routine when we enter the house after being out and about all day. We have kept this device in our entryway so that we can easily clean our various phones (iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone SE) when we walk into the door. The machine is fantastic at what it does and works so smoothly. In a matter of 30 seconds I can get my smartphone cleaned and sanitized by killing 99.9% of the germs on the surface of the phone. We have utilized the occasional sanitizing wipe when we clean our items off, but at that rate I was maybe cleaning my phone off once a week. With this simplehuman Cleanstation I can easily get my phone clean without damaging my expensive phone. At first use I was very pleased with how easy this is to operate and how efficiently it works. The slot is easy to access from above, and I placed my iPhone 13 Pro (with an Otterbox Symmetry case) into the slot and the device lowered down gently and smoothly into the machine. The laser cut foam composite doors are gentle on the phone and are great at blocking out UV-C light when in operation. It's like a magic trick, as the phone drops down and then 30 seconds later pops up like a toaster. The LED light will flash to let you know it's working/cleaning. There is also a chime at the end that I prefer to leave on, but you can also turn it off if it isn't to your liking. This machine has given my family and I some peace of mind knowing that our phones are carrying less germs through the day since we touch them all day long and in various situations. Keeping this handy and available to kill those germs during this Covid era has been helpful to me. I'm thoroughly impressed with the stunning look of this brushed stainless steel look as it has a nice upscale feel and style to it. The machine operates quietly and efficiently in a set it and forget it fashion. It's a good investment for our household and I'm happy to see that it works even with a thin profile case on our smartphones.
