Simplehuman Cleanstation Review + Bacteria Petri Test

[@wagagagaggag]

Would be great if you did an comparison with other lysol or alcohol wipes in terms of effectiveness.

[@OscarM.94]

Lysol is the brand🤦🏻

[@dannyquiroz5777]

Great review! It really proves the level of effectiveness vs marketing product claims.

[@jasonreviews]

i got the walmart ones for like 20 bucks the sanitation UV light. You use like cell phone battery bank to give it power. So you can carry it anywhere too.

[@abigail3490]

Thanks for this review. I recently got one of these too but I can’t tell if my phone is truly clean after I use it. For instance, you know the before and after pics you provided? The before pics had bigger clumps of bacteria, and the after pics had smaller but many more dots. Were they dots of bacteria? I have similar looking dots on my screen after I use the machine, too. But how do we know that the machine isn’t just spreading out the bacteria on our phones instead of actually removing it? Does that make sense? I don’t fully understand the whole process either, so I probably said some ignorant things here. I would like to be educated, though.

Thanks, Chris, for this review. Definitely helped out with my decision to purchase.

[@andrel5234]

Thank you for your extensive effort sir 👊🏾

[@princepdj]

For 200 bucks there should be 0.00000001 growth...

[@harsha_mnath]

I just got the simplehuman cleanstation, but Im concerned about long term UVC leakage/exposure, since I live in a small studio apartment.

[@ChrisXia]

I put it in the bathroom so there's usually a door to block out any potential leakage.

[@hiran9]

Nice clean review. Really helpful :)

[@israelherrera5144]

dope review man

[@tomisaac6112]

Do you think the contamination would go completely away if you ran the phone through the UV Cleaner TWICE?? Please advise. Thank you.

[@wilmarrojas2899]

hey Chris that's amazing review can you. do the same on the phone soap 3UV ? as it takes longer and it does not need to be plug

[@joep9466]

Would this work on a Samsung S21+ ?

[@Lola-mw4gi]

amazing review? where did you buy the bacteria petris for the test? thank you!

[@SquirrelMasterT1]

I think it would have been wise to do a control test for each of these so you know how much bacteria may or may not be in the petri dish already.

[@BigCatMama]

Wouldn't it damage the phone sensors? Just curious. I know certain low power laser will damage phone sensors.

[@brenttitus2134]

I would bite at $100 but not for $200.

[@zatannavolkoff]

Can I ask, where did you buy your Petri dish test kit & how did you let it dry out? I’m betting you didn’t buy an actual incubator, so how did you do it?

[@WannaKamaka]

I love gadgets and would buy this machine if I had an extra $200 plus tax to spend, But I clean my phone with a hand sanitizer gel. I think it gets it pretty clean. However, if you had done an experiment with they Lysol wipes or a hand sanitizer gel to see the difference on the petri dish, that would have been helpful for consumers.

[@ChrisXia]

That is a great idea, I will add it to my list of future experiments!

[@00987my]

Perhaps there’s be a bit of cross contamination where you dipped the cotton bud in the same water

[@dan_d_404]

The cotton swab is clean before it's dipped in water, and he used a fresh swab every time.

[@LogisticalHurdles]

So, what do you think can account for the difference between tests?

[@tintin77snowy]

Could I check what phone did you use in your review - was it an iPhone and if so which iPhone model was it? Thanks

[@ChrisXia]

I think it was the iphone 14 at the time. My current iphone still works and I have the 16 pro.

[@kinocchio]

What if you run it 3-5 times simultaneously.

[@ChristinaMagma]

Great video! I think i’ll pass on it, hopefully they make it rechargeable in the future

[@heavenlysword666]

I really want it but also I don’t want to spend that kind of money on it.

[@kmain0]

Home Soap large UV sanitizer is way more versatile and cheaper.

[@JamesLikesGames]

OK CHRIS

[@jeff6032]

does it clean it even more or get rid or more bacteria if you run it thru twice or even 3 times?

[@ChrisXia]

I haven't done tests running it through multiple times but I would assume so.

[@datmeme8967]

There is no way that is worth $200. Landed cost is probably $10. Not interested in giving Simplhuman a 95% profit margin. Would be informative to compare swabs before, after and after liberally using hand sanitizer on your hands and rubbing your phone with sanitizer wet hands which is what a lot of people would do after leaving the gym or store. If there is little difference between the randomly hand sanitizered phone and the UVCd phone, there's n point other than trying to impress your friends.

[@sharrie-huang]

Super helpful!

[@sagemoonchild333]

Glad it works but that’s entirely too expensive. $100 tops.

[@carlover4239]

Are you still enjoying it?

[@ChrisXia]

I moved and had to give it away but it was great for the half a year I had it!

[@carlover4239]

@@ChrisXia Thanks so much for replying. :)
