I've read so many phone sanitizer pro and con stories that I don't know what's correct.

In general, I think sanitizing a phone is a great idea. The problem is I just don't know the best way to do it. I'd love for it to be as simple as 'put the phone in here, press the button, wait....done'. If that's true and it really does kill 99.9% of the bacteria, then I'd buy one.
I'm have Type 1 Diabetes, so I always have alcohol swabs with me. Just a quick wipe down once a day and my phone phone stays relatively sanitary.

One trick ponies have no place in my house.

There are plenty of UV sanitizers that you can use to sanitize you phone as well. The wimpy UV light in these tiny machines are pretty worthless and the high powered ones used in hospital are dangerous in less competent hands.

Just my 2 pennies, but I'd steer clear of any phone sanitizers.
The uv light in this kills 99.99% of the bacteria and the uv light has been tested many times. It looks like it actually does what it's supposed to do.

As others have mentioned, I can get almost the same disinfecting using a towel and alcohol.

Can you please help me with what you mean by "dangerous in less competent hands"? I understand you don't know me or what I know or don't know, but I don't understand how this can be dangerous?
