Pluggable Air Purifier Removes Cooking Odors That Escape Oven’s “Air Guard”
This GERMGUARDIAN GG1000 PLUGGABLE UV-C SANITIZER AND DEODORIZER seems to be a “designer” model of the [[ASIN:B00OLBR0LG rectangular pluggable GermGuardian]] that I’ve used successfully for a couple of years.  The pluggable Guardian air purifiers do remove most of the kitchen cooking odors (tiny grease globules in particular) that escape the “air guard” feature on my oven.<br /><br />This “shapely” air purifier runs more quietly than my rectangular version, though motor noise may be determined by the motor in individual devices.  (The motor was louder in my second rectangular device than it was in the first.)  The fans run constantly in these air purifiers, but they don’t seem to require a lot of electricity.<br /><br />The air purifier will operate in the up, down, or sideways position, so you don’t need to be concerned about the orientation of your household electrical outlets.  The purifier plug does NOT have a third prong for grounding, though it has wide and narrow prongs like most modern safety plugs.  The purifier covers only one outlet in a two-plug wall outlet, so the second outlet remains available for general use.<br /><br />My first pluggable GermGuardian lasted well beyond the one-year warranty period.  These little air purifiers don’t seem to require maintenance beyond replacing the UV bulb when it burns out (the blue light on the purifier will go out).  The bulbs are easy to replace, but you should NEVER look directly at a plugged-in UV bulb (with the purifier cover open), because this can permanently damage your eyes.
