Outstanding Little Germ Guardian PERFECT for Traveling!
I hesitated buying this because of the negative reviews about its light and noise...glad that I DID buy this! I'm sensitive to many things, including night light and sound, and found this well within my tolerance level, as well as working like a little champion!<br />I took it to a recent trip to San Francisco staying in a time share--I immediately noticed the chemical smell from the cleaning supplies! I unpacked my little Guardian and plugged it in next to the bed, then left for dinner. Returned about 3 hours later and immediately noticed the absence of the cleaning smells! Wow! I had zero issue with the sound, in fact it was like a soft white noise that was soothing; the light was no issue for me either and could probably be taped over if needed. It was plugged in to the side and lower than my head, so maybe that made a difference.<br />What was really impressive to me was that this was a 1 bedroom suite and this little Germ Guardian kept the entire place smelling fresh and clean, even with cooking and smoke from the CA fires!  I use a full-sized ionizer at home -- I bought this unit specifically for traveling, and it did its job well, and was compact to fit in my suitcase. Very Happy with this purchase!<br />UPDATE: I've now moved this into my bedroom to keep the air clean. I read somewhere to put a wide mouth jar or bowl of water underneath the unit to add moisture and better conversion. All I know is I'm still happy with it. NOTE: The UV will dissipate in the bulb in short time even though it still produces light! The bulb needs UV to clean the air. Replacement bulbs are easy to find.
