Review by O. J. Garza for Germ Guardian LW9 Mini UV-C Light Wand
Rating:
Purchased this and on arrival inserted 4 new AA batteries. Instuctions not clear on proper operation. You must press button and wait for blinking light (the “warm up”), then when light stops blinking, (i.e. remains lit) it is ready to use. Does not tell you that you must press button while blinking to operate wand. Had to go to website to clarify. It has been VERY inconsistent in operation in that sometimes it will turn on, sometimes not, even when you follow instuctions. This can be extremely frustrating. When working, appears to emit uv light. Although bulb is recessed, there is no lens over it, meaning if you drop it and bulb breaks, you have a hazardous mercury issue. Be careful. BTW, if you have issues, the Customer Service at Germ Guardian requires you to leave a message, which in my case they have never returned my call. -

I purchased this wand about a month ago and performed an impromptu experiment. I collected some bacterium (E. coli and staph) on an agar plate. Half of the plate was exposed to the UV light of the wand while the other half wasn’t. The plate was left to incubate at room temperature for 72 hours. At the end of the 72 hours there were 2 different and distinct colonies growing on the side of the plate that WAS NOT exposed to the UV wand. On the side that WAS exposed to the UV, there was one very small, round pink/salmon colored colony. After running a few chemical tests, the pink colony turned out to be gram positive and appeared cocci shaped under the microscope. I figured (though I could be wrong) that the colony must have been from an air born bacteria that landed on the plate after the exposure to UV. I came to this conclusion because: 1. Though bacteria appeared cocci shaped (staph is cocci shaped as well) under the microscope, it’s colony looked nothing like the staph colony on the other side of the plate. 2. E. Coli is gram negative (and rod shaped under the microscope) and the pink/salmon colored colony was gram positive.SO, to make a long review short, this little contraption works. The only thing that is keeping me from giving it 5 stars are the poor directions that come with it. Like the other reviewer stated, the directions that are in the box don’t match. 1.) You must press and hold the power button for 5 seconds 2.) the LED will start blinking 3.) Once LED starts blinking, press the power button again 4.) there will be a 2 to 10 second pause and then the UV light will come on. Once you get past the frustration of getting the thing to come on, you’ll find the perfect little gadget to carry in your purse. Wave this magic wand over that dubious looking toilet seat, put down a seat cover, and you’ll be good to go.

If the UV-C light is not working:
Press the ‘on’ button once and you should see a blinking light. While the light is blinking, you must press the ‘on’ button again to get the UV-C light to activate and stay on.
