    Vioguard Cubby Plus – 360º UV-C Disinfection Chamber for Personal Items

    During the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, people have become more self-conscious about staying protected from both the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as from any other dangerous pathogens (i.e. any infectious agents like bacteria and other germs, which are all invisible to the human eye and can quickly multiply as soon as they get picked up). The main reason is because those dangerous pathogens can potentially get picked up from any of the small personal items that people commonly handle on a daily basis. As such, throughout these dangerous times, many tech. companies have looked to develop new innovative gadgets that provide people with better ways of staying protected from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease. Consequently, we’ve quickly seen the market getting flooded with UV-C Light Sanitizing Gadgets that promise to offer you a great way of sanitizing your daily-used items. Nevertheless, some UV-C Sanitizing Gadgets can do job better than others. So, if you’re looking for a high-end UV-C Sanitizing Gadget that can effectively sanitize just about any everyday carry item, then the Vioguard Cubby Plus might very well be exactly what you need.

    The Vioguard Cubby Plus is a powerful UV-C Disinfecting Chamber equipped with a UV-C bacteria-blasting light that can deliver the precise amount of UV-C light required to destroy infectious agents.

    With this powerful UV-C Sanitizing Gadget, you can easily and reliably sanitize any small everyday items, such as Smartphones, keys, baby items, and more.

    So, let’s have a more detailed look at it and check exactly how this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget and see all that it has to offer you.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    Starting with the unit’s size, the Vioguard Cubby Plus features at a reasonably large body, which measures exactly 21 inches long by 12 inches wide by 4 inches tall. Not only that, but the whole unit is also somewhat bulky, weighing exactly 22.3 lbs., which, for this case, isn’t a negative thing, really.

    Thanks to its somewhat large dimensions and bulky body, the unit is guaranteed to stay in place even if you accidentally do a sudden move that could potentially knock it over.

    Additionally, it’s also worth to mention that the whole chamber is made out of high-quality materials, which mainly include steel, aluminum, glass (for its transparent shelf – discussed right ahead), plastic and rubber (for some of its internal components), and some other associated materials (for the unit’s Printed Circuit Boards).

    Right at the center of the unit and close to its bottom side, the Vioguard Cubby Plus comes equipped with a transparent shelf that slides very smoothly back and forth.

    The chamber’s transparent shelf can support just about any everyday carry items measuring up to 18.9 inches long by 9.9 inches wide by 1.8 inches tall. It’s also worth to point out that the chamber’s chassis can support up to 50 lbs. of total weight.

    Additionally, just like its shelf, the unit’s central opening for accessing is shelf is also equally easy to open and close, and it also very secure once locked shut, and that’s mainly thanks to its multiple mechanical and electronic safety interlocks that ultimately prevent UV exposure to the user.

    Moreover, inside the unit’s UV-C Disinfecting Chamber, we also have four (x4) built-in UV-C Light Bulbs, for which two (x2) of those are located right at the top of its chamber while the other two (x2) are installed at the bottom of the unit’s UV-C Disinfecting Chamber.

    It’s also worth to point out that all of the unit’s UV-C Bulbs were successfully tested to have an average lifetime of over 90,000 cycles.

    Lastly, since this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget is solely electric-powered, it features a Power Input of 100-240 Vac (operating at 50-60 Hz) and a Power Consumption of exactly 100W while its cleaning modes are enabled), and just a bit less than 1W when the unit is idle (meaning when it’s not being used to sanitize any items).

    INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL

    Furthermore, we also have a small LCD Display Screen that comes built-in at the top left of the unit’s body, and this screen easily and very simply informs users whenever the unit is currently running its disinfection process and also let’s them know about the unit’s current status.

    As expected, the LCD Screen’s basic text information ultimately makes very simple and very easy for users to operate this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget.

    Basically, having a “Ready” text showing up at the unit’s LCD Screen means that the Vioguard Cubby Plus is once again ready to clean. Alternatively, having a different text format will mean that the unit is still running one of its two time-based Disinfection Cycles.

    CONNECTIVITY

    Now, for its connectivity, this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget features Single USB Connectivity, which means that one USB connection makes it compatible with both keyboard and track pad.

    Best of all, no special drivers are required for running the unit together with a PC Interface.

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    So, the way this powerful UV-C Sanitizing Gadget works is by running its patented medical-grade dosimeter technology (which makes it FDA-cleared as a medical-grade UV-C Sanitizing device), which is exactly what allows the unit’s Disinfection Cycles to measure its UV-C light emission level in order to ensure the delivery of the precise amount of UV-C light that’s required to destroy any infectious agents.

    That said, the unit’s UV-C light is emitted from all directions, which ultimately allows it to kill up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses at the molecular level (which even includes the most difficult-to-kill pathogens, like the Coronavirus (COVID-19), MRSA, E. coli, C diff, S. aureus and more), all in just 60 seconds.

    For those interested in knowing even more about just how effective this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget really is, I kindly invite you to have a quick look at the Vioguard’s partnership-study with VA Hospital, which carefully studies the transmission of pathogens from surface to surface and also covers the Cubby Plus’s effectiveness in a lot of detail.

    HOW TO USE?

    To use it, literally all you have to do is to lay your items on its transparent shelf and let its UV-C bacteria-blasting light do the work.

    Keep in mind that while you can opt to go for a 60 seconds average cleaning cycle that’s simply known as the unit’s  “Quick Clean Mode, you also have the option to select a slightly longer 90 seconds Maximum Cleaning Cycle, which is called “Complete Clean Mode”.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    The Vioguard Cubby Plus is a powerful UV-C Disinfecting Chamber equipped with a UV-C bacteria-blasting light that can deliver the precise amount of UV-C light required to destroy infectious agents.

    Overall, this powerful UV-C Sanitizing Gadget is very reliable, and does a great job at sanitizing just about any small everyday items with its 4 powerful UV-C Light Bulbs, which can completely cover any item’s surface from all directions and ultimately kill up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses at the molecular level.

    Best of all, since both of its Disinfection Cycles only take you either 60 or 90 seconds of your time, that also makes this UV-C Sanitizing Gadget is very quick and very easy to use.
