One of their product is the [Momax Q.Power UV-Box](http://www.momax.net/product/q-power-uv-box-uv-sanitizing-box-with-wireless-charging/). The Momax Q.Power UV-Box is a UV Sanitizing Box that comes with wireless charging. It retails for **S$79.90** on [Lazada](https://www.lazada.sg/products/i476578797.html). During Lazada’s 8th birthday, there is a flash sale on it, bringing down the price to S$69.90. I have an additional S$6 Lazada voucher, so I ended up paying S$63.90 for it. [PhoneSoap](https://www.phonesoap.com/) is probably the original. The [PhoneSoap Pro](https://www.phonesoap.com/products/phonesoap-pro) cost about S$200 with shipping to Singapore, and it is already back-ordered till May 2020. [Casetify](https://www.casetify.com/) also come out with their own [UV Sanitizer](https://www.casetify.com/product/uv-sanitizer). It is about S$170 with free shipping worldwide. It is also back-ordered till the end of April 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people will realize that their mobile phones are probably the dirtiest device they have on them, probably [10 Times Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat](https://time.com/4908654/cell-phone-bacteria/). I guess it is a good time to invest in a UV sanitizing box that can sanitize your mobile phone. The Momax Q.Power UV-Box probably fits in most people’s budgets, and it has readily available stocks on Lazada. **Specifications** - Input Port: USB-C - Input: 5V/2A, 9V/2A - Output: 5V/1A, 9V/1A - Wireless Chaging: 7.5W (iOS) / 10W (Android) - Dimension: 200 x 120 x 48 (mm) - - Weight: 337g [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Front](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505471_3657b3b7b7_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Front")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505471_2c79efcfa1_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Front") [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Back](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718816922_2c82676df9_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Back")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718816922_61503991cd_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Back") [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505371_c7f1255b8a_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505371_bbf21efbcd_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box") [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Contents](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505336_385bd672fc_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Contents")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505336_15c4df9555_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Box Contents") [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Instructions](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966648_a0508edbfb_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Instructions")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966648_5607327420_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Instructions") There is no way for me to check if this works without the proper equipment. Momax attached a copy of a report from Guangzhou Testing Center of Industrial Microbiology dated 17th August 2018. The report mentioned that the Momax Q.Power UV-Box could kill 99.9% of [Staphylococcus aureus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus) and [Escherichia coli (E. coli)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli) within 18 minutes and kill 99.9% of [Candida albicans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans) within 30 minutes. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Test Report](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505206_6312ebdc94_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Test Report")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505206_5841fbf8c8_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Test Report") So I guess we have to trust Momax on this. Besides, there is nothing to lose except for the S$79.90 (S$63.90 for me).

You can add a droplet of essential oil while sanitizing. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Inside](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966838_d7543aaa26_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Inside")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966838_d91758c161_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Inside") Momax Q.Power UV-Box uses UV-C. UV-C is a short-wavelength ultraviolet light that can kill microorganisms. The technical term is called [Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal_irradiation). Do note that there is no scientific proof that UV-C can kill the Coronavirus. There are two UV-C lamps, one on each end of the Momax Q.Power UV-Box. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - UV-C Lamps](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505046_5a69b99b1c_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - UV-C Lamps")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718505046_0884999cb5_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - UV-C Lamps") [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966803_5355786f9d_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966803_1fc6857da7_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max") As a safety feature, once the lid is open, the sanitizing will stop. Once the cover is close back, it will resume sanitizing. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718504896_10d741c694_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718504896_76b6999f5b_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - With iPhone 11 Pro Max") I wish the wireless charging feature is inside the box rather than outside, so your mobile phone can be charged while sanitizing. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Wireless Charging](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718504856_94dc164d6d_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Wireless Charging")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718504856_c4d5aa059f_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Wireless Charging") You can choose from either 18 or 30 minutes of sanitization. 18 minutes is quick sanitization, and 30 minutes is full sanitization. I always go for full sanitization. Once the sanitization is done, the Momax Q.Power UV-Box will let out a soft triple beep sound. [![Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Full Sanitising](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966668_37131c5bb5_c.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Full Sanitising")](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717966668_4aa4957c5d_o.jpg "Momax Q.Power UV-Box - Full Sanitising") There are three colors to the LED indicator. Red means it is wireless charging, green means it is doing a quick sanitization and blue means it is doing a full sanitization.
