Brookstone’s toothbrush sanitizer uses the same UV light sanitizing technology hospitals and dental offices use to protect patients.

Violight uses clinically proven ultraviolet light technology.
Don’t try to rinse away germs. Our toothbrush cleaner destroys them in just 10 minutes!
Running your toothbrush under the faucet can make the bristles look clean, but it doesn’t remove the microscopic organisms living on your brush. In just 10 minutes, the Violight toothbrush sanitizer safely and effectively kills 99.9% of bacteria and other microbes, so you don’t put them in your mouth the next time you brush. Order yours from Brookstone today!

I am somewhat of a germaphobe, so this was perfect for me! I bought this after watching a news story about how your toothbrush is a haven for bacteria and germs.
I noticed right away that my toothbrush smelled better, and the brush bristles do not get discolored like they used to (from scrubbing the coffee stains off of my teeth). It is quite durable too - I have accidentally knocked it into the sink 3 times already. As a bonus, it gives off a very soothing blue glow when you turn it on.
This is an A+++ item!
from Orlando, FL on 7/22/2008
I love the fact that it is small.
Sometimes when you push the switch to turn it on you have to hold it longer than others times.
from New Jersey on 7/18/2008
I use the product daily to kill germs on my brush and my husband's. Especially a good idea if your sink is close to your toilet and you do not close the lid when you flush!
from Orlando, FL on 7/11/2008
Overall we are very happy with this product.
from Manchester, NH on 6/13/2008
This is a great way to keep your toothbrushes sanitized. I hated having to put them in a holder for all the air to get at them.
from Myrtle Beach, SC on 6/8/2008
I use this to clean and sanitize my toothbrush before each use. It is wonderful.
My husband & I use this product twice a day when we brush because I am always looking for new ways to keep the bacteria levels down particularly since the last harsh cold & flu season. Being more pro-active certainly makes sense! The concept is outstanding and the tooth bush is nice & warm. I removed the very nice looking tooth brush holder we had and replaced it with something that looks a little clinical but who cares if it does the job!
from San Diego, CA on 5/3/2008
I am a person who would constantly buy new tooth brushes as I felt they were not sanitized after less than a month. It is the greatest invention ever. It also makes a great night light in the middle of the night.
from SC on 4/13/2008
Works great! Good size for bathroom vanity.
from Dayton Ohio on 3/31/2008
Very compact product.While it is sanitizing it has a cute little purple light.
from Buffalo, NY on 3/28/2008
I use this every day to sanitize my toothbrushes and I cannot imagine living without it. It is expensive but pays for itself and there is no better feeling than knowing that your toothbrushes are germ-free.
from Burtonsville , Maryland on 3/28/2008
I have two of the toothbrush sanitizers and i think that they are very useful.They are not only a good place to store your toothbrushes but they sanitzize your toothbrushes while they are being stored.
from portland, oregon on 3/19/2008
I love the fact that a product like this exists however I had to replace mine within a month of use. It just died. I hope the second one lasts longer....
from Saratoga, CA on 2/23/2008
Easy to set up and use.
from NYC on 2/9/2008
I use this product to sanitize our toothbrushes.
from palmyra,va on 2/9/2008
use this product for our toothbrushes yet the uv light seems to have a short and flickers and doesn't turn on easily. we have had it less than a month and were disappointed that it seemed so flimsy for the cost.
from Bowling Green, KY on 1/30/2008
Now we know that the toothbrushes are clean and we are not putting germs back in our mouths!
from Illinois on 1/26/2008
As with any product of this nature, it is difficult to know whether it is effective. The product is very user-friendly.
from Killeen, TX on 1/26/2008
Was concerned with viral/bacteria infections being manifested on toothbrushes. Oral hygiene is important to me. This offered an excellent way to prevent germ spreading and improve oral hygiene. Works everytime.
from Old Tappan, NJ on 1/25/2008
I use this product every time I brush my teeth, I feel so much better knowing that my toothbrush is clean everytime I use it.
from Las Vegas on 1/25/2008
Easy to use
Quiet operation
Don't have to worry about germs
from Houston on 1/21/2008
Fits on the counter with ease, and seems like it works...CONVENIENT: hit the button and leave it. But, how can you tell if it really works? Since it's Brookstone, it must!!!!
from Coastal Carolina on 1/19/2008
It seems to do exactly what it is supposed to do.
from Pensacola, FL on 1/18/2008
Bought it for my husband for Christmas. He put it under the counter. I decided "I" would put it to use. Am I glad I did. I had purchased a tongue scraper to take care of the fuzzies and now it's not needed as this unit lives up to it's ad. I just turn it on every nite before retiring and 10 minutes later it goes off. I heartily recommended it.
from Austin, Texas on 1/18/2008
We weren't sure about this product because, sometimes, it is hard to perceive value when you can't see a direct end-result. Well...with this product, I can tell you that since we've started using it continually to sanitize our family's toothbrushes, we have cut down drastically on spreading cold/flu germs around our household! That's value enough. The design is compact enough to sit atop our pedestal sink and the soft blue light that glows when it is doing it's thing serves a dual purpose as a great night light!
from Dover,DE on 1/16/2008
worked well for about two years then light stopped working and it quit. ordered another one for Christmas. New one works fine
from New Orleans, Louisiana on 1/15/2008
Product is easy to use and clean. Attractive on bathroom counter. Press the button and you toothbrush is sanitized!
from Euless, TX on 1/13/2008
A must have, especially with a child who doesn't understand the meaning of germs. Sleek design, my 2 1/2 yr old son loves to turn it on. Much better, cleaner and safer than a cup to hold the toothbrushes.
from Teaneck N.J. on 1/13/2008
it's hard to prove it's exact effectiveness, however it looks like it's doing it's job. it's small & attractive.
from michigan on 1/12/2008
This product seems to work just fine so far. No one has gotten ill yet, so I'll have to wait and see if it truly works then.
from Countryside,Il on 1/12/2008
Sanitizes multiple toothbrushes. Small enough for counter top.
from Florida on 1/11/2008
This works well - glad we can now clean our toothbrushes.
from Browns Mills, NJ on 1/11/2008
Takes up very little space. Fits neatly on my vanity. Gives me a peace of mind knowing the germs that grow on my toothbrush are being eliminated.
from Boca raton Fl on 1/11/2008
I bought this for my daughter-in-law. She always has several toothbrushes lying around for our 2 year old grandson, I pop them in the sanitizer & there is always a clean one ready to be used. I set it up for her on her counter next to her sink. It's perfect for them. No more searching & buying too many toothbrushes.
from Cincinnati, OH on 1/11/2008
UV light has been well proven to eradicate bacteria, not only for this toothbrush device, but in the food industry, and water purification for backcountry camping. A novel idea to "sterilize" one of the dirtiest items in a household -- one's toothbrush! Keep up the good ideas! Less germs = healthier life!
from North Reading Massachusetts on 1/11/2008
We really like this product but there are 5 people in our family and it would be better if it could fit 5 or 6 toothbrushes. We have to take turns. One feature we like is that it shuts off automatically after 10 minutes so you can turn it on and forget it.
from prescott,az on 1/11/2008
This is a great gift. We just love it. We use it every morning and night. It is small so it doesnt clutter up bathroom sink.
from Poplarville, Ms on 1/9/2008
The clips that hold the lid on this toothbrush holder is made of plastic. These clips are very delicate. You cannot turn the lid too quickly or the clips will snap off. The product does work as they claim, but I would not purchase a second one.
from Edinburg, TX on 1/7/2008
I'm so phobic about germs, and this helps a lot. Toothbrushes in general are germs farms, but not anymore thanks to this gadget!!!
from pleasant hill, ca on 1/7/2008
this can be used with electric and/or manual toothbrushes. it is compact and is good looking
from Indianapolis, IN on 1/7/2008
We use the product weekly and its also a great place to store our toothbrushes.
from Manchester, NH on 1/6/2008

A nice gift to give someone who has everything
from Clayton, DE on 1/5/2008
Like the fact that all my toothbrushes can be sanitized at one time and that is takes up very little space on vanity. Haven't found anything unsatisfing about it.
from Sacramento, CA on 1/5/2008
Nice product
from Lake City FL on 1/5/2008
A great idea especially during cold and flu season. I used to keep my toothbrushes in a cup but what a mess from the drips! Now ALL the brushes are clean and sanitized. Thanks for such a great product.
from New Hampshire on 1/5/2008
Having four children who share everything, this toothbrush sanitizer helps me relax a little more on the war against germs.
from New Hampshire, USA on 1/5/2008
This compact unit fits well on the bathroom counter and replaces the old germy toothbrush holders. I was pleased that it can also handle my wife's electric toothbrush heads that are smaller than a typical brush all in the same holder. The automatic shut off is great too!
from NY on 1/5/2008
Fine as advertised
from Tomball, Tx on 1/5/2008
Makes me feel better about a healthier toothbrush option
from Knoxville, Tennessee on 1/5/2008
Germs can't be seen - but we know they are there. This produce gives that extra measure of protection against germs. I now sanitize my toothbrush after every brushing - and gave a tootbrush sanitizer to my children to use as well.
from Phoenix, AZ on 1/4/2008
I like knowing my toothbrush is bacteria and germ free. One less thing to worry about.
from Florida on 1/4/2008
Seems to work well. Sturdy, holds our electronic toothbrush heads and "regular" toothbrushes side by side.
from Braintree, MA on 1/4/2008
Finally a place for everyones toothebrush where I don't think of what kind of germs are getting on them.
from East, TN on 1/4/2008
A great way to store toothbrush and sanitize at the same time
from New Orleans, LA on 1/4/2008
Great concept, but no way of knowing if it really does what it says.
from Cedarhurst, NY on 1/4/2008
I was looking for a product that sanitized my toothbrush inbetween each use....This was it!!! I love it!
from Ranch Mirage, CA on 1/4/2008
Use it morning and night. Easy to use. Cleans more then one toothbrush. and it does the job!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 1/4/2008
Neat product, quiet, sleek and the chemical free disinfection is great. With cold and flu season upon us, the Vio Light has helped us avoid contanimating each other.
from Dayton Ohio on 1/4/2008
This product is very easy to use and does not take up much space. You will be impressed if you purchase this item. The product description was to the "T".
from Torrance, Ca on 1/4/2008
Thanks
from Houston, Texas on 12/27/2007
We use this as another way to stay healthy.

Toothbrush sanitizer provides a cleaner toothbrush that tastes fresher the next time you brush. We are noticing fewer colds in the family since we started using it. It takes up only a small amount of countertop space in the bathroom.
from Easley, SC on 12/20/2007
I love this item because I have a cat and now I don't have to worry about her chewing on my toothbrush. NO MORE GERMS ON MY TOOTHBRUSH!!
from Simsbury,CT. on 12/19/2007
For the first time useing a clean tooth brush.
Gave one to my Daughter for her Family
from Succasunna, NJ on 12/19/2007
Best use when kids come home with a stomach virus! ugh!
from Bedford/NH on 12/19/2007
Takes the same amount of space as a ordinary toothbrush holder, but does a better job!
from Largo, FL on 12/19/2007
Helps prevent us from sharing germs with others and re-infecting ourselves. I love it.
from Virginia on 12/19/2007
I really like the Toothbrush Sanitizer and truly believe it's keeping all of or most of the germs away. It' s very easy to use and cleans your toothbrush in no time. Great product, highly recommended.
from Largo, FL on 12/19/2007
I love this product. Because it enables us to sanitize out toothbrushes daily, that has helped us prevent sharing of colds between family members and prolonging our own infections. I'm getting the travel size next!
from Western New York on 12/19/2007
I am very germ conscious and knowing that
harmful bacteria can settle on your toothbrush
just gives me that extra secure feeling. This
is a great product and will recommend it highly.

from Ohio on 10/23/2007
I assume the toothbrush sanitizer is doing it's job. I have no reason to question it. Before I had the sanitizer and our toothbrushes were just hangin out, the bacteria creeped me out.
from Martinez, Ca on 10/22/2007
I liked that it does not require water to steam to get rid of the germs
