Research shows that germs can remain and breed on wet toothbrushes after brushing, potentially prolonging infections such as gum disease or sore throats. And, because airborne bacteria can move from toothbrush to toothbrush (and from other sources in the bathroom), opportunistic infections, like periodontal disease and common colds/flu, can easily be passed from one person to another when unsanitized toothbrushes are stored together. The Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer provides a clean, healthy toothbrush every time you brush your teeth. The Germ Terminator is the only toothbrush sanitizer to use natural steam and dry heat to kill greater than 99.9999% of germs on your toothbrush and store it in a completely germ-free environment between brushings. The Germ Terminator works with electric and manual toothbrushes. The product is FDA-cleared (510k-clearance) and is modeled after the steam device in dental offices to sterilize instruments. It can be used worldwide with the proper plug adapter (100-240V). UL Listed, Worldwide Safety Certifications.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works great for about a year...not built to last., December 20, 2007

This review is from: Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer (Health and Beauty)

I really like the premise behind these units, and I have already owned 4 of them. The problem is, though, they are not built to withstand the high heat generated. The plastic toothbrush holders will actually melt off and crack over time from the heat. The bottom of the unit will develop leaks. Also, regardless of how well you clean your toothbrush, there is still toothpaste residue on it, and this will cause a powdery build up in the unit that is difficult and time consuming to remove.
We use only distilled water in ours and clean regularly but still can't seem to get more than a year out of it. One lasted around eight months. The warranty is only 90 days, so it's essentially useless. We keep buying, though, because until its inevitable demise it does sterilize the brushes and keep them dry and covered, and there's nothing better out there. Consider the money spent on it an annual expense. The UV ones have their own issues, and the ozone generating ones are usually built cheaply as well.
