    Had this a week and it seems to work very well. Takes 10 minutes to sanitize your phone and was a good price. Make sure to unplug it if you don't want it to run after you take your phone out. Opening and closing it automatically starts a new 10 minute cycle.

    I've resorted to just using an alcohol wipe over the hassle of using this.

    As a start the product sanitizes my phone very well. It can also be used to sanitize keys, and other objects that will fit the compartment. At this pandemic time, a practical gadget that can be useful in sanitizing my phone gives me an extra peace of mind!!!

    I think this is doing a good job. Hard to tell if it is killing germ but gives us the peace of mind that it is. The down side is every time you close the lid it turns on for ten minutes. So when you open to take your phone out and close it again with nothing in it it turns on.

    In this time of COVID-19, Coronavirus, I need to have my phone sanitized of whatever could have come in contact with it. Most people use the wipes to clean it, but this gives me confidence that I can clean it every day when I come home.

    Assuming it actually does clean our phones, it is easy to use device. Since I am not a chemist or anything and have no way of proving my phone is clean, all I can do is assume it works as advertised. At any rate, we are using it and are pleased so far.

    Works as promised. It should be noted that there is no real way to tell if cleaning viruses and bacteria without sending sample to a lab. It is easy to use, not too big, lights up. Guess you will have to trust it is doing what it says

    Seems to be ok. One thing to note is that there is no on/off switch so every time you open & close the lid ... it turns on. So after you remove your last item, you must unplug or it will cycle on for another 10 mins.

    Very easy to use, literally plug it in and close the lid on your phone. Handy that it charges your phone while inside as well. The case is less impressive, very lightweight plastic which was a surprise. Phone sits on a clear plastic bed that feels like it will eventually puncture.

    It's great for my family. Both my daughter and I work at a hospital and my husband at a university, so we're surrounded by germs! I am confident this takes care of it. Wish it would visibly clean the screen, too; but, not designed for that!

    In this day and age, it is becoming increasingly important to be as clean as possible and this device allows me to clean my most used device, my cell phone. The unit works simply and takes about 10 minutes to sanitize my phone, keys, cards, rings, watch, etc. Please note that the device sanitizes with UV light and there is no liquid associated with the cleaning process. Any smudges, spots, streaks, etc. will still be present after the sanitization process.

    With no empirical method to prove it works, I'll have to take a leap of faith that it does work. That and I wish it had an on / off switch so that it doesn't start up automatically when the lid closes, so it doesn't automatically start when you have nothing in it.

    Easy to use. Just put your phone in and plug it in. It's done in 10 minutes. I have used it on all our phones and keys and I am looking around for other things we use outside our home that fit in the compartment.

    Think it works great. Easy to use and set up. Just pop the top insert your phone and wait ten minutes. Your phone is now sanitized. Use it several times a day. You can and even charge your phone while sanitizing it.

    A great quality product to help during these virus/bacteria-plagued times. Easy to use! And a reasonable price. We bought one for ourselves and then sent them to our adult children for their families. They love 'em. Edie D.

    Cleaner than clean

    It's hard to say how effective the UV light is, this is more of a peace of mind or doing more than normal purchase. Takes about 10-15 minutes for a complete cleaning cycle, like that there is a notch for a power cord if you want to have your device plugged in while cleaning. I keep ours in the kitchen near the door so when we get home it is just there ready to be used. The only complaint is that the activation/deactivation is only triggered by the lid. So if you take your device out early (have a phone call, need to check something, etc.) the light remains on for the duration of the cycle. More my fault for using my device before it is thoroughly cleaned, but some sort of on/off switch would be nice for more control.

    Loving my new phone sanitizer! I’ve been using it for 2 months now and it seems to be working great. Definitely gives me piece of mind since phones are dirty beasts. Looks sleeks and fits all of my phones.

    Works just like it says. Charges good. I have no way of testing if it actually kills all the germs but the idea that it does keeps me using it. My Galaxy S20 Ultra just fits. Any phone bigger would not. I put debit cards, masks, pens, etc in it.

    Didn't know what to expect - product works great! plug it in put your phone or whatever can fit, your keys, face mask, etc. The light will come on. When it is finished the light goes off. Simple and easy to use.
