Do you think this thing works or is it a waste of $20?

Lol you guys are hilarious

Waste of money. Use an alcohol wipes like I do

Fallflower So what do you think of The Rock & Would You Do Him

Highly suspect, look for video reviews. IMO the concept isn't bad, there's just a lot that could go wrong.

in theory, it should. i would look up reviews on the best product of the sort first.

All you needed was a bottle of alcohol 70% and a tissue paper. Which I bet costs less than $20 even there ✌️ and for sure is more versatile

This is excellent at only one thing, probably: making its manufacturer richer

Here is the concluding part of a review from OspreyReviews.com

Zero Germ is a poor man’s UV-Sterilizer. The Cell-Phone Sanitizer market has been revolutionized by the Shark Tank PhoneSoap UV Sanitizer. But the PhoneSoap is priced around $60 while the Zero-Germ costs just $30 (including shipping). You can buy two “Zero Germ” sanitizers for $40. Zero Germ is a “cheap” alternative to the PhoneSoap and other cell phone sanitizers.


We do not recommend the Zero Germ, in-fact we do not recommend any special Cell-Phone UV Sanitizer. You could get the same results bu running a UV LIGHT over your cell phones and other things. There is no need to have any special UV-Sanitizer like Zero Germ for sanitizing cell phones.


We would suggest Microphobe UV sanitizing handheld UV light instead available at Amazon.com which can be used to sanitize all your belongings that you handle daily.

Waste. Just a gimmick product taking advantage of our ability to read and understand.

UV light does kill bacteria and it doesn't seem like a bad deal. The only thing in question is how long will it last. If it lasts a year before breaking, I think you got your money's worth.

The box looks like it’s been relocated from Sears to several different K-Mart’s

Waste of $. No decent, effective UV light costs only $20! None!

You could put your phone in the sunlight

Uv light works.. i work at a large facility that creates adult beverages and everything is run through uv no chems.. its pretty cool. Can't verify this particular devices claims.. check reviews.

Waste. Use wipes instead.

They do work to a point. But viral germs can get in to crevices that can't be reached by the light. Jury is still out on its effectiveness with Covid.

I just put mine in the wash with a splash of Clorox...

Probably a waste of money. You could dampen a clean cloth with a little soapy water (dampen, not make it soaking wet!) and wipe the phone, and probably get just as good results.

Was it on the “As Seen on TV’’ commercial?

The guy at the receiving end of you buying it thinks it's real effective at filling his bank account.

They work but uh...

So does just like, cleaning your phone.

A waste to me

I hope you did not blow $20 on this,

Yes I believe they work if used.
Most use them a few times at first then forget about it

That's on the "as seen in TV" section of Walmart. Don't buy it, dude.

It should work.. Downside: UV light has nasty effects on some plastics. Will your phone crumble in your hand after a year?

It may work, but I can't see why you need it, unless you do some strange things with the phone or loan it to others.

Ultraviolet light does kill germs.

It might work, but I wouldn’t care. I’ve wiped my phone down once in probably 6 months

A quick alcohol wipe would do better.

A waste, I hate phone cases and I like my phone to look shiny and new. I clean mine with micro fiber cloth and spray sanitizer often. It's funny how many people think that I just got a new phone because everyone has cases on theirs and rarely see bare phones!

Buy it. But I have a garage full of gadgets

I’d read reviews on it first

Apparently uv light is used in Hospitals to kill bacteria, so if it says what it does then yes.

it's a waste!

I just stick mine in the dishwasher

how's the sex life.. keeping busy?

Worth a shot
