thus, it takes 20 minutes for a complete cleaning.\u00a0Interestingly, it is impossible to catch the sterilizer at work.\u00a0When you open the cover, the lamps go out, it does not make sounds during operation.\u00a0In general, it just stands and cleans what is inside.\u00a0But it does not interfere!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-121348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1080x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-711x474.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-311x207.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1096x730.jpg 1096w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57-1341x894.jpg 1341w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-57.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to Samsung, the sterilizer kills up to 99% of bacteria, and I want to believe in it.\u00a0Moreover, the figures were confirmed by a number of independent experts &#8211; for example, the British Intertek Group plc and the Swiss SGS SA.
