Philips UV-C Disinfection Desk Lamp for Home, Indoor, Hotel and Travel.

My wife is officially happy now. With the kids coming back and forth, this gives us a chance to disinfect the house (safely), and minimise our risks of catching anything. Importantly, we can use for the longer-term as it helps with killing all viruses and bacteria (e.g., the "super bugs"), as we've a relative who's immune compromised. Super straightforward to use, simple buttons and instructions. On the safety side, I tested a few times and the motion sensor always caught if someone sneaked into the room and it shut off. No issues with false motion detections in our house. The cord is super long, and lets me place pretty much anywhere in any of our rooms. Actually looks pretty nice too and is a compact size, so we keep tucked away on one of shelves in the living room, cord wraps up nicely with the velcro strap. Did a lot of research on this, and this felt like one of the better ones out there, and with "Philips" on the box (a healthcare company that makes machines for hospitals!), we've a sense of trust that this is a safe product and will last for the long term. Will also use in my office to give it a clean in the mornings, when I go to get a coffee. I suspect I might have to lend it to a few folks. --- Update: I like the set timer function (15/30/45min). Means I can turn on and walk away (e.g., go grab a coffee, go out of the house, go to bed, etc) and will automatically turn off after it runs a cycle. Kinda handy... As well, we find it useful to give our fruit and veg a scan to limit mould. My wife did a bit of research and found it was used in industry for this. Doesn't damage the food / affect the taste and it helps limit spoilage.

I purchased this brand of unit really because of the name “Philips” as they always were a very good brand. It is a bit expensive, but it is a nice unit and the protection works well (it is a bit overkill, the motion sensor being very sensitive, but that is ok). Whether it does actually disinfect or not I cannot say yet, but I did the “Banana” test and at a distance of 50 cm it seems to work. I wanted to perform a test using the UVC dosing cards you can buy (as someone else has done in a review), but they were expensive at around £70 for 25 cards, so I didn’t get any. It should be satisfactory for my use as I really want it to irradiate dark places to protect from mould (wardrobes and other dark places. Despite lowering the humidity, good ventilation and cleaning, I still get some form from time to time). The lifetime of the lamp is quoted at 9000 hours and on the Philips site, the number of power cycles is quoted as being 20,000 cycles. This would work out at about: 5000 lamp hours at 15mins, 10,000 hrs at the 30 min setting and 15,000 hours at the 45 min setting, so the quoted 9000 hours gives a reasonable product lifetime. Depending on usage, it should last years for me. It would seem that better than the 1 year statutory warranty could be given. Overall I am quite happy.

I like this as it helps to remove any germs left about. But I also think it’s overpriced for what it is. It is very plasticky and if it wasn’t for the COVID virus being around I wouldn’t of bothered with it.

Poor quality. The lamp broken first time we had tried to use it.

This is a great product. It emits UVC light to rid the room of harmful bacteria. Sensors ensure that it is only activated once there is no movement detected. Being that it is Philips, you can trust the quality of the bulbs and the product is intuitive and high quality. It is also well designed having a modern feel. I have used a couple of times and have noticed better quality sleep (sneezing less). Definitely happy with the product notwithstanding the price tag.

I find this product very good. It has a sleek compact design, long power lead and is lightweight. I have used it several times since purchase. I move it around to a different location each time it is used in the same room, I obviously can't see that it kills any viruses I just have to trust that it does, I can see its effect on an area where we have a problem with mould so this reassues me that it does work, it has very good safety feature like the lock and auto shut off it it detects movement so nobody will be harmed. I do find the auto shut off is very sensitive and does see to shut off even if there is movement in the next room when in use, I just end up turning it on and sitting still in the nex t room until it had run through its cycle. The few minutes of inconvenience to allow it to do it job is a small price to pay

Pleasantly surprised by this quality Philips sanitiser with safety features that automatically cut off the light if you enter the room while it is activated. Very easy to setup and use. The rooms even have a nice clean air aroma afetr you have sanitised the room even though it does not emit any type of freshner within the unit. If it is good enought to be used in hospitals then it is good enough recommendation for me.

Die Box ist wirklich toll für alles, was man ständig berührt! Handy, Schlüssel usw, alles lege ich regelmäßig in die Box zum sterilisieren. Es gibt mir in diesen Zeiten ein gutes Gefühl. Ob es tatsächlich hilft, kann ich nicht sagen, aber der Glaube daran hilft mir persönlich!

Buena calidad para desinfección de utensilios de manicura

It works very well, in the bathroom it is especially noticeable by the smell after use, I bought it almost a week ago and every day I put it in every room and in the bathroom, I am very happy that I chose this one🥰🤗

La caja está bastante bien elaborada, pero si te fijas en la fotografía donde se ve la tapa abierta, en la parte de debajo de la tapa en el medio, donde se encuentra el cierre, hay dos pestañas de plástico, una a cada lado del mismo, que permiten que la caja se clausure completamente para impedir que la luz UV-C escape durante su funcionamiento. Pues bien, una de esas pestañas plásticas, (un tanto endebles) se ha fracturado con un uso completamente normal y con un uso cuidadoso. Ahora, la única forma de que la caja funcione es poniendo un peso encima de la caja para garantizar que los sensores detecten el cierre. Este problema desmerece la calidad y diseño general de los componentes de la misma. Si quieres un esterilizador que funcione estupendamente durante algo más de medio año, esta es tu caja. Después, ya podrás tirarla a una esquina.

Habe mir das Gerät gekauft, da es in Zeit von Corona echt Sinn macht. Leider ist der Platz für mein Samsung S21 Ultra echt eng, und Ich bekomme das Smartphone nur angewinkelt in das Gerät.
