TAO Clean Germ Shield UV Toothbrush Sanitizer – Universal Cleaning Station that Accommodates all Manual and Electric Toothbrushes, Travel Friendly, Kills 99.9% of Germs

This product is so neat! Crazy enough, I decided I wanted one after watching a TV show. It is simple to use and doesn’t take up more space than any other cup, etc.

This UV toothbrush sanitizer is very good and just what I was looking for.However, the instructions are slightly unclear on how to insert the toothbrush. The top of the toothbrush (which becomes the "bottom" when inverted), must be almost to the very bottom of the sanitizer. If you look from underneath the device, there is an opening for the water to drip out. The top of the toothbrush should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the very bottom of the device, which would align with the counter or other surface below the device.Everything you see near the top opening of the device (the curved spring-loaded piece, the "cubish" stepped flexible clear plastic structures) are all for holding the handle of the toothbrush. These parts and structures are cleverly designed to hold a wide variety of toothbrush styles.If you don't insert the toothbrush deep enough, these parts will impinge on the bristles, and compress them.The UV LED is located at the inside front of the bottom of the device, so that's where the bristles need to be. There is also a blue LED that illuminates the top area and the clear flexible plastic parts - don't be misled to thinking this is where the UV emitter is located. It isn't - that blue light is just for show and illumination.Ensure that you place the top of the toothbrush (the head, the bristles) nearly to the bottom by just touching the surface (counter top) underneath and then backing it back up about a quarter inch to a half inch, then close the door. This will prevent compression of the bristles and align the head for a good sanitization.I've found that now that I understand what is needed, I can place the toothbrush with one hand, quickly, including snapping the door closed.

So I was very excited to receive this as I am a truck driver and the spaces to put your items is very limited and compact so I was looking for a way to sanitize my toothbrush since I usually have to put it right away after I use it this seemed like the perfect ideaHowever, I was disappointed that the instructions that came with it were minimal at best, and I found that my bristles would be deformed after putting it in the actual unit. Another thing that I had an issue with is that I could not figure out what area or what part was actually doing the sanitization of my toothbrush so playing around with a little bit I think maybe I figured it out however then all of a sudden I had a red light that came on and I’m not exactly sure what that meant because it wasn’t in the instructions, but if I had known that, this was not going to be a smooth operation I would have not purchased this cause there surely were other items that I could’ve purchased with less headache and frustration than this so for me It’s a one I won’t recommend this or buy another one.

I love how compact it is. Does a very good job at sterilizing.

I like the fact that it is relatively small and fits on my bathroom counter nicely. It also does not need a plug because it is run by battery. There is a light near the bottom that lets you know it is working. I would buy it again.

When you see color change to REDChange your toothbrush head as well as the battery..

Not sure what happened , it worked fine , changed the batteries and now the light is red instead of blue :(

Great for my oral health care.
