Germ Guardian GG1100W 7” Pluggable Small Air Purifier, Small Room Wall Air Sanitizer, Freshens Air, UV-C Light Kills Germs, Reduces Odors from Pets, Cooking, Mold, GermGuardian, 1-Yr Wty (White)

Ive had this unit running for over a year now and is still performing the same, noise wise, light is still working even though I purchased it with 2 additional replacement bulbs I am glad I havent had to touch them so far. USB port is working and is actually a great addition I thought never would be needed but came in handy to power on a scent oil fan that uses the USB so its great for that without having extra 5V adapter plugged in the wall. At one instance possibly after 6 months of running it had some whine noise to it for a couple of weeks where I thought it was the fan about to die and I expected it to though after that it went back to normal. If it kills odors? I would say so, but not at a very fast rate though definitely sanitizes the air in very small to small rooms. Mid-sized bathroom is a little too much but It can handle it though takes longer. Not sure of the fan CFM but my guess comparing to computer fans, it would be at around 40. Noise level isnt distressing nor calming but say like a centrifugal laptop fan thats in higher spin mode however enclosure of this unit makes the sound more echoed and amplified, if I could put it that way. There are slits on sides, bottom and top, and needs to be dusted, I vacuum it once a month or two so it definitely also acts as a dust filter, sort of. If you ever seen the cloud of a toilet paper or tissue in sunlight, you get the idea why this clogs with dust in bathrooms so fast. Maybe I wish this had a compartment for scent cartridges so that I wouldnt have to have a scent oil USB fan connected to it and maybe I wish it had a fan speed setting knob. Still, its a 5 star product for me that does the job well the way it is and I do recommend it.

Y'all. I plugged this thing in yesterday about 3 feet from the litter box my two cats share. I had high hopes, but with a rather large helping of skepticism. These cats, man...they are adorable and cuddly and I love them to pieces, but they the absolute stinkiest cats I've ever owned. Yes, we've tried switching food/litter. Their litter box funk overrides every air freshener or odor remover or candle I've tried. In addition, our house is 116 years old, so it gets that lovely musty old house smell that's more noticeable some times than others (like in the warm, humid summers of Indiana). Our litter box is located next to our washer/dryer which is essentially in our kitchen. The room is approximately 220 square feet. Due to the layout of our house, the litter box is oddly in close proximity to the kitchen, our bathroom,and our bedroom. So the smell travels well. So, I get this thing in the mail yesterday, and immediately open it and plug it in. We had to leave for a cookout right afterwards. Came home 4 hours later and...the first thing I smell is NOT the litter box, for the first time in approximately forever. I intentionally left the litter box un-scooped before I plugged it in, so I could get a more accurate sense of how well it worked, if that makes sense. As of right now, I'm convinced it's made of magic and unicorn dust, because I cannot smell the litter box without standing directly over it. Incredible. About the gadget itself: it's roughly the size of a box of Kraft Mac and cheese. Yes, it emits a blue light from the front and top. I can see where it could be disruptive to those who are light-sensitive if it were located in a bedroom. But it's no brighter than any of the nightlights I own. Yes, it makes noise. It's a very unobtrusive "shhhhh" sound that is similar to (and no louder than) the fan in a computer. Tabletop/oscillating/box fans are louder than this. (Then again, I'd probably gladly take the odor-removing properties of this thing even if it sounded like a jet engine.) All in all, I'm amazed. We're getting ready to leave for a 10-day vacation here soon, and I'm always shocked at how musty and litter box-y my house smells when we come home from an extended trip (even with someone housesitting and cleaning the box regularly). So, if by some chance, I'm just imagining how well this thing works (with some nose-blindness thrown in), I'll know for certain here soon and will update my review. But as it stands...I'm not regretting a single penny I spent on it.

As a self-proclaimed germaphobe, I take clean air very seriously — and this Germ Guardian GG1100W Pluggable Air Purifier has earned a solid spot in my home. It’s small but mighty, perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and smaller spaces where odors or germs tend to linger. I love that it uses UV-C light to actually kill germs, not just mask them — a big win for those of us who sleep better knowing the air is sanitized. It does a great job at reducing pet and cooking odors, and I noticed the air feels fresher within a day or two. The fan speed is incredibly quiet, almost silent, which makes it ideal for bedrooms or offices where you don’t want extra noise. It’s super easy to use — just plug it in and forget about it. The size is perfect for discreet placement, and it doesn’t draw much power at all. That said, it’s not great at picking up dust particles, so if you’re looking for something that tackles dust buildup, this isn’t the one. It’s really more of a germ and odor eliminator than a dust filter. Overall, it’s compact, reliable, and worth it — a solid 4-star win for fellow germ-conscious humans who value clean, fresh-smelling air (and a little peace of mind).

Works great to abate smell of litter boxes in my laundry room. I had to plug it up at counter height and the boxes are on the floor so I wasn't sure what to expect but it does a great job. Smells gone. I the noise is minimal, I made a video so you can hear it, just like a slight white noise. It is pretty big, larger than an outlet but looks nice and modern and the light is nice. I thought when I opened it there would be some sort of set up but it's super easy - literally just plug in and walk away, then give it a day or so to work it's magic and from then on, clean and sanitized air for all! When I researched, there were really two general options - a sanitizer like this or an ionizer. Seems like the ionizer isn't as safe so I went with this and so far so good after a few weeks of continual use!

UPDATE 12/29/16 Well, I've owned this for less than a month and it's no longer smelling fresh in our laundry room where our cats litter box is. When we first got this we had two cats and since then one of our cats passed away from cancer so now we only have one cat. You would think that with one cat that there would be even less of a smell. That's how I know this stopped working. The light is fine, it's still making a noise/fan, but it definitely doesn't smell fresh and clean anymore. I downgraded this from 5 to 3 stars because it did work in the beginning. I will be returning it since this cost almost $40 and no longer works. ********************* I'm impressed! I read all the reviews and noticed they were all positive, but I was still skeptical. I purchased it because I was really tired of smelling cat poop in our house even after I scoop it up RIGHT after they go. The house would smell terrible afterwards. I love our 2 cats, but I was really getting resentful about the smell. I work hard keeping our house clean, but with the house smelling like cat poop just made me feel defeated. I plugged this sucker in and within 10 minutes the room smelled fresh. It actually smelled like fresh air! I couldn't believe it! The cats' litter box is in the laundry room leading from our garage and then into our kitchen. We left to run an errand and when I came home, walking into our the house was pleasant. It didn't actually smell. I usually dread walking in because it always smelled like cat poop no matter what I do. I used to feel like we couldn't have company over because I was worrie of the smell. It actually smells nice and clean! I'm a believer now! I put a pic of the plug in right next to our litter box. Its was fresh smelling in the laundry room even after they just pooped! (Pic) It's the perfect place for it and I'm so happy we bought it! I'm buying two more. One for my son's room and one my daughters. They all have asthma and I think this would work great to clean the air in their rooms. It does make a sound, but it's a bit like white noise and the low sound is worth the clean air that this pluggable gives. I like the minimalist pluggable rather than the large air purifier that I have in my kids rooms. I'll be getting rid of that one since this one take such little room/space. I very rarely give 5 stars on anything, but this was impressive to say the least. 5 stars from our family!

It does make a small noise similar to an air purifier/ humidifier. Works well for dog odors

I bought this in hopes of helping eliminate odors in the home and helping my VOC-sensitive wife. However, upon plugging it in, what I thought was a blue LED was the familiar glow of a UV-C bulb. UV-C is essentially soft X-rays; close proximity exposure to these rays over long periods of time can definitely cause skin cancer. The engineering shorthand that is the design of this product does nothing but erode public health; it would be trivial to design a chamber to still allow the air going through the unit to be sanitized but still block the free emission of these rays. I do not suggest buying this product and I am returning it posthaste.

I also have the original style, the gg1000, which is cylindrical shape. I love my original & thought I'd try this newer style model also. I bought 1st 1 for litter box odors & have been thrilled w/ it. I was scooping everything from litter immediately when home & still smelled odor which lead me to getting my 1st 1. It totally did the trick & has saved my sanity. I was finally able to get litter box out of the rm it was in originally & move it elsewhere (rmmate issues) & found myself not wanting to part w/ my germ guardian in that rm since it helps clean air & I'm often plagued w/ other ppl's cooking odors too. Doesn't clear those as quickly but to it's defense, it's a big job w/ these ppl. Can't imagine what it'd b like w/o it. So I ordered this rectangular style 1 for new litter box location & it's doing it's job. I Don't mind the white noise. I will say that this 1 did give off a plastic type odor for the 1st 24 hrs at least which my original didn't do. It did disappear after that time & has been fine since. The only design flaw I noticed w/ new 1 is it doesn't have a rotating plug like my gg1000 does which allowed it to stay upright no matter which way plug is & i really liked that option since I use mine in a surge protector power strip the long way. I was going to put new 1 in original rm & 1st 1 in rm w/ cat litter box but due to lack of rotating plug, I had to put new 1 w/ litter box cuz it just wouldn't work w/ my pwr strip set up. I do like the usb port for charging devices altho it's not as convenient in the other rm as it would've been where i wanted it, so that feature isn't as beneficial to me as it could've been. Even using unit upside down wouldn't have worked well w/ my set up. It's still a good item tho & really does work miracles w/ litter odors. I'd absolutely recommend either model. The light does look cool on new model also. It's a cooler looking unit, it just would've been even better w/ rotating plug. Hope this helps. Great product & great company. Do ck airways of unit for dust tho & keep them clear to keep it running properly. I have recommended to friends & family who also like theirs. 1 was for someone w/ an elderly mother who occasionally had incontinence issues her rm smelled. It has helped considerably w/ odors for them. The other uses to help w/ cigarette smoke in 1 closed off rm. It helps there too, better than w/ just their air filter going like b4.
