Model EV-9-102
The Germ Guardian air sanitizer destroys over 99% of common airborne bacteria, viruses and germs.
That's significantly more effective than any other air sterilizer or purifier.
Its powerful fan moves air into the sanitization chamber where germs are bombarded with Ultraviolet-C/UV-C light energy, the technology used in many hospitals.
Germ Guardian's unique reflective aluminum chamber maximizes the effect.
Germ Guardian is ideal for a typical 10 x 20 foot room and costs just pennies a day to run.
Plus, there are no filters to clean or replace.
When the blue light glows, you know UV-C light is destroying germs.
The EV-9-102 was specifically designed to render germs harmless.
The airflow and UV-C dose has been optimized to destroy bacteria, viruses, and germs, which pose a health risk.
This product was laboratory tested by Dr. Melvin First, Professor Emer. of Environmental Health Engineering, at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Dr. First is a leading world authority on Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation.
Test results indicate that the Germ Guardian is capable of destroying over 99% of airborne influenza, strep, staph and other infectious agents.
It also helps destroy mold spores and bacterial cells.
The Germ Guardian air sanitizer features a 9-watt Ultra Violet-C/UV-C light module and a whisper-quite fan rated at 23 cubic feet per minute.
The total system consumes less than 20 watts of power.
Patent Pending UV-C Module:
- The 9-watt UV-C module is effective for at least 8,000 hours. This is almost a full year of continuous use.
- Over time, with use, the UV-C bulb will lose some intensity, about 15% at 9,000 hours.
- Therefore, if you use the Germ Guardian on a continuous or frequent basis we suggest changing the module annually.
- Many customers replace their module at the Fall Daylight Savings.
- Time change, roughly, the beginning of flu season.
- Depending on dust conditions and build-up, you may need to occasionally clean the bulb and cylinder with a dry, soft cloth.
Use of the Germ Guardian Unit:
- The Germ Guardian unit will deliver the best results when located in an area where people frequently spend time, such as your office, kitchen, family room or a child's nursery.
- Best air flow results when the unit is placed on a table or countertop.
- Continuous operation will provide maximum air sanitization.
- To regulate Germ Guardian's airflow simply turn the knob on the front panel clockwise for increased flow.
All Germ Guardian Air Sterilizers are warranted for a period of five - 5 - years from the date of shipment.
Important:
- The UV-C module is specifically excluded from this warranty.
- Use only a Guardian Technologies replacement module. See the Owner's Manual for UV-C module changing instructions.
- The Germ Guardian contains no serviceable parts.
- Due to the unique technology of the Germ Guardian, all repairs must be performed by Guardian Technologies.
- Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the Germ Guardian voids this warranty.
- This warranty does not cover misuse or abuse.

the best one I have found

Date:February 8, 2009

Pros:??Quiet, Compact

Cons:??None

This is far the best I have found and the best investment for cleaning the air. I have used another type of purifier, one that required filters it seemed as though I had to change them all of the time. With the germguardian there is no filter there is however a light bulb that would need to be replaced in about a year so I already have saved on not having to buy filters, also within 24 hours I already could see how well it worked air smelled cleaner and I have to say I have not been sick with colds ect. I am extremely please with my purchase it seems costly but it truely does pay off.

A product that actually works!

Date:May 29, 2007

Pros:??Ergonomic Design, Powerful, Lightweight, Easy To Clean

Within an hour of plugging it in, I notice a marked improvement in the quality of the air in my 109-year-old Victorian, which is musty from a damp basement and too much spring rain. I am planning to purchase one for each floor of the house. It is an amazingly effective product.
