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.

Works for specific problems.:
This is not a general air cleaner. It will not filter dust at all. I would recommend using a HEPA filter if you suffer from allergies.

The advertising is correct: my wife works in a lab, and this is the same method of air sterilization used in hospitals and labs. The narrow tube in the middle of the Germ... more info
A must if you work in an office!:
I bought my Germ Guardian over two years ago and it continues to run without problems. My administrative assistant laughed and made all sorts of jokes about it in my office but after she was out sick three times to my none, she didn't think it so silly anymore! I would recommend this for an single room, office or cubicle setting. We also have a Honeywell UV in the home HVAC for the whole house. We have been very healthy for some time until recently when I noticed that the bulb burned out.... more info
beats Ionic Pro:
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... more info
Research UV-C before you rate this poor...its a very good product with some limitations:
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... more info
