I received this from Bed Bath & Beyond tonight and I just got it up and running.They did not have this model on display at Bed Bath & Beyond, so I did not quite have a chance to see this on display before buying.And I traded in an Air O Swiss 7135 humidifier for this, and I am not sure if that was a wise decision.I am giving this unit 3 stars for now...But if I do not like the performance after trying this for a week, I will return this unit without any hesitation.
Why did I buy this unit?Several reasons.
1 - My experience with the Air O Swiss 7135 humidifer overall was not-so-bad.I owned a Venta humidifier and that turned out to be a disaster.
2 - The 10 year warranty.I reckoned anything with a 10 year warranty must be well-built and durable.At first glance, this unit does not see too durable.Not sure if this unit will last 10 years as touted.
3 - The air cleaning function.My wife is having a baby very soon, so I figured something to clean the air would be useful.
4 - This unit does not require much spending in terms of replace parts and the such.There is no filter to replace.You only need to replace the silver ionizer stick once a year.
My gripes.
1.The unit is BULKY.It's almost bulbous in shape.And it's not too light either.I think the UPS mailing invoice said the package weighed over 20 lbs.
2.This unit operates using a fan.That means some users may find this unit noisy, especially when running on high.(Two settings available.)
3.The water container is too small compared to the overall size of the unit and it is very cumberson to use and fill up.First, the cap is located on the side of the container.WHY?It is awkward to hold the container as you fill it on its side.Second, the container is IMPOSSIBLE to fill up fully.I spilled water trying to fill this up and I was only successful in getting it filled maybe 80% or so.The container is shaped in an awkward way making it impossible to fill up fully.Third, as you try to put back the container into the unit upright, there is water leakage.The spring equipped water spout which feeds the unit water could use better washers for sealing.I am disappointed that a unit that costs as much as this has such shoddy craftsmanship/design.
4.The humidification discs seem difficult to clean and not too durable.They will crack if I drop them.That is a given.They have slits, grooves, and crevices built into them.I am not looking forward to the prospect of using a brush to get all the debris out.No wonder Air O Swiss sells the humidification discs as a spare part.
