How long after plugging in unit are germs removed from room?

Depends upon the size of the room. This unit has to cycle ALL the air in the room through it to remove all the germs from the room. This device is rated to clean 456 cubic ft in one hour. An 8 x 8 x 8 room is 512 cubic ft of air; takes 1.12 hours to clean. An 12 x 12 x 12 ft room is 1728 cubit ft of air; takes 3.78 hours to clean. I hope this helps. The 3rd number is the height of the ceiling, most are 8 ft tall.

It would depend on the size of the room (see ans from Phil B.) I think it would also depend on how much the room was used and by how many people. It uses a bulb that emits UV-C light to "kill or inactivate airborne bacteria." Opening doors and/or windows will affect performance too. The replaceable bulb is estimated to last 5000 hours.

need to be purged and vacuum tested after installing, then recharged only after confirming no leaks for 30 or 40 minutes.

My dual and family units turn on after placing them in units following brushing. Blue sterilizing light s stay on about 5-6 minutes.

I have been running this unit almost nightly for a few weeks. Haven't cleaned yet. They recommend not letting water/oil sit in unit while not in use. I am careful to let it run until it turns off, then dispose of small amount of water left and thoroughly wipe out with soft cloth.

I unplug it and take a paper towel with just a bit of water and dishsoap on the towel and wipe it down. Hope this helps!

I usually wait at least an hour for cool down.And be careful about how much water you use to cleanthe outside as I over did it and the internal wires rusted out.White vinegar cleans the inside very well.

I opened cupboards, draws etc. and also disconnected gas stove (if you have one). I put a bomb in each room through out our duplex. We vacated for I believe 4-6 hours (that's including any pets you may have). Afterwards open all windows to air out all the fumes. Hope this was helpful, and good luck!

I am not a scientist and have not done any studies about the disinfecting time required. I do know this unit produces a lot of steam and the pad picks up a lot of dirt. It does have a trigger for additional steam if there is a particular spot that requires it. I would be careful to test an obscure spot for normal use and also if you plan to leave the unit in a particular spot longer than normal. The test spot of vinyl flooring in one of our bathrooms appeared dull after our test and therefore we do not use this unit on that floor. It is fine in the rest of our rooms. HTH

That has never been a problem. We use the AC Adapter when traveling and have the usb cables already in place before plugging it in. We don't remove the cables until the unit has been unplugged. But to answer your question I plugged the unit in an outlet and inserted and removed a usb cable. The prongs stayed in place.

I never unplug any of mine. They have been plugged in since I installed the unit.

BACTERIA may not be completely purged as I understand the Process. Store plenty of H2O in the Frig. B4 U purge the next time. I know 24 hrs. seems excessive but avoid possible infection.

If the heater is new there is a possibility the components ( heating elements, cabinet finishes, electronics,etc) are temporarily giving off an odor which should burn off after a few hours of use.

I do not know scientifically, but I keep our base unplugged unless it is in use. E.g. Plug in, lift head of bed, unplug. This may not make any difference to our health, but it makes me "feel" healthier. �

No unfortunately it is on all the time. I keep one in the children's room, and one in the bathroom as a night light. After awhile you don't even notice it during the day anymore. It doesn't get hot and doesn't smell like the other plug ins do so I think it's pretty safe. Also doesn't use very much energy.

Do not leave bthem plugged up. Plugging them up removes the water they have collected in them and they get very hot. Do not leave plugged up more than 5 hours
