@amyintucson Thank you - my husband has talked about getting one, so I was curious as to which one you got. Does your state the "Irradiance" value? It seems like the claim of 10 second disinfection time might be overstated based on this: https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/does-uv-light-kill-coronavirus/uv-light-covid/
I'm getting a bit nervous about continuous use of chemical sanitizers, so looking for other, safer options since Covid-19 isn't about to "just go away" any time soon.
Thanks
Sue

It has an optical power of 30mw - not sure how that calculates re distance. I'm good with this as nothing is perfect, germs are everywhere. And I'm with you that I hate the idea of more chemicals and trash going into our world.

I bought mine through Amazon, selected model really based on delivery time (some were anticipatinga June delivery)! I also have a cell phone UV sanitizer case made by Homedics that just barely holds my Note 9 phone. I also use it for my eyeglasses and any other small objects.
