Sunbeam Warm Mist medium room Review

Sunbeam Warm Mist medium roomUnlike the other commenter, mine works, but it makes so much noise when it is running. I've had other warm mist humidifiers that make a nice "white noise" gurgling sound, but this one pops, hisses, sounds like an old Model-T from cartoons. Much too noisy to sleep with in the same room.

My other complaint is that the tank is too small. It will not last 24 hours on the high setting. Barely 8 hours I would say.

Tower Ceramic Heater, One Touch, 6 3/4"x7 7/8"x10", White (PATHCH6001U) Category: Heaters and Humidifiers Review

Tower Ceramic Heater, One Touch, 6 3/4'x7 7/8'x10', White Category: Heaters and HumidifiersI purchased this item for the livingroom.It heats the room up well.There are two buttons, one for oscillation and the other for on/off/temperature settings.The sound isn't too distracting, and the high setting isn't loud.My family used it for about a week, and tonight while it was running in the livingroom the power in half the house went out.Since it was the only new item we were using I reached for the plug and it was very hot from the plug to the first two inches of cord from it.Once I unplugged it, the electricity went back on.The problem could be with this particular one I got, but I don't plan on testing that theory out.I'll be returning it soon.Just be careful if trying one out.

A04-1725-034 Humidimatic Humidifier Replacement Filter Review

A04-1725-034 Humidimatic Humidifier Replacement FilterThese are not OEM pads, they are the cheap-o replacement pads. I gave them a try (to save money) and I regret it. When I use these pads the humidifier can not humidify the house adequately.

I believe the problem is the foam that they are made from. The holes are too small/tight and the air does NOT flow through them. That means they are very inefficient.

I am very unhappy with these filters and will never buy them again. Since I bought 4 of them I will also end up throwing away three of them. Learn from my mistake!

HOLMES PRODUCTS/HEATERS #CM1-UC 1.5GAL Warm Humidifier Review

HOLMES PRODUCTS/HEATERS #CM1-UC 1.5GAL Warm HumidifierI like this humidifier because it is small and compact with a clean exterior design.Last winter I bought my second one.Unfortunately it is going the same direction as the first.Initially it has nearly silent operation, which is extremely important to me.Over time it starts to gurgle more and more.I think there's a design issue of the internal components. Also, after a year of use, the heating element's material seems to be flaking off.
In short:Good, but only if you consider it to be a short term item-one season only.

EPO36 Hamilton Humidifier Replacement Filter Review

EPO36 Hamilton Humidifier Replacement FilterMy previous filters had no metal frame. This one came with metal around it with perforations. I thought the perforations would work fine but like another reviewer, I found water all over my floor around the furnace.

Half Kettle Steamer - Matte Black with Chrome Handle - a humidifier especially designed for the narrow ledges of fireplace inserts and woodstoves. Review

Half Kettle Steamer - Matte Black with Chrome Handle - a humidifier especially designed for the narrow ledges of fireplace inserts and woodstoves.We needed an item to humidify our very, very dry wood stove heated home.This seemed like the right tool for the job even though it was a bit pricey.It has been somewhat effective with respect to adding some moisture to the air.Well made, but would be more enthusiastic if hadn't cost quite so much.

Product Description:
The Condar Half Kettle Steamer is a humidifier especially designed for the narrow ledges of fireplace inserts and woodstoves. Only 4" wide, yet looks like a whole kettle when in place, and holds over 2 quarts of water! The beautiful design is patented. The spout is cleverly designed to direct steam away from the flat side, out into the room. The lid swivels open to the front, so it won't fall off when you're filling with water The Half Kettle is crafted of hand-cast Aluminum rather than cheaper cast-iron, which rusts and eventually cracks, permitting rusty water to stain surfaces. Aluminum is lighter in weight-a joy to use! The light weight makes it ideal as a decorative accent for the home as well. Made in the USA by American artisans, the Half Kettle is created using the time-honored traditions of Old World craftsmanship. Available in Classic Black Finish (model HK-BC) with a chrome handle, or Polished Silver Finish (model HK-SC) with chrome handle.

Air-O-Swiss 1355 Air Washer Humidifier/Purifier (Grey) Review

Air-O-Swiss 1355 Air Washer Humidifier/PurifierI really like this product and have no idea what the review about the 'bad smell' is all about. I mean, this unit is all plastic, and you add water, just like any humidifier, so if you have a bad smell it must be coming from the water, or you have some nastiness in your house that is being multiplied by the humidity. The only thing I can smell is the smell of water.

Anyway, I am sitting here in the middle of a blizzard in Colorado, and of course I have my furnace going full steam. For my small house (750 sq. ft.) it keeps the humididty about 10-15 points higher. So according to my hygrometer, it is at 35% right now, and without the air-o-swiss running it goes down to around 20% (pretty dry huh). I am actually thinking of getting another one, as I want one for my bedroom and my living room.

This product is comparable to the Venta (which I have also tried), but it is cheaper and easier to fill. With the Venta you have to either pick up the whole unit, or buckets to fill it. A pain. With this guy you just re-fill the plastic water tank, which holds a little over a gallon. The unit itself holds another gallon internally, so you have to re-fill it twice the first time. I find that I am re-filling it about once a day, and it takes all of 1/2 a minute, real convienient.

As far as cleaning goes, I just did that last night after about 3 weeks of use. I simply put the base unit in the sink and sprayed the interior down. Everything comes apart/goes back together easily. There was some dusty dirt type stuff in there, which is cool, b/c that means that this guy is actually doing what it says, i.e. cleaning the air.

So I really like this product, and like I said, I am thinking of getting another. - Matt

Honeywell HCM6013 Cool Mist Air Humidifier Review

Honeywell HCM6013 Cool Mist Air HumidifierWe bought the Honeywell HCM-6013i cool mist humidifier to replace a GermGuardin humidifier that stopped working after 90 days of use. So far, this unit is performing quite well.

According to the specification in the owner's manual, this unit is capable of outputting 11 gallons per day (I'm assuming per 24 hours). Do not confuse this with the unit's water holding capacity. In two separate tanks, the humidifier holds about a total of 3.5 gallons of water. And you will not notice any humidifying mist as you might with other types of humidifier. This humidifier works by the same principle as a swamp cooler.

I usually have the fan speed on low and the humidity level set on auto at 35%. At these settings, I have to fill the water tanks every one and a half day or so. The HCM-6013i built-in hygrometer (humidity sensor) is no where near accurate. Although I have the unit set on 35%, actual humidity measured by a separate and more accurate hygrometer, measures 45%. I recommend buying a separate hygrometer so that you can find the right humidity level. If you're not as picky as I am, you can always go by feel and adjust the humidity control up or down until you find your comfort level, to where the unit turn on or off based on the setting.

This unit fits together from essentially four pieces; the base, the motor housing, and the two water tanks. The pieces do not exactly fit together that well. The design of this unit reminds me of something that was made from the former USSR. It's clunky...but it works. It has no problem keeping up the desired humidity level when the AC is on and the outside relative humidity is 10% - 15%. It draws water from one of the two tanks at a time. When either one of the water tank is drained the unit makes a buzzing noise from the empty lighter tank. It's a little annoying, but a little tab or jolt usually resolves this buzzing noise.

I recommend buying a spare HC-14 replacement filter for this unit. I already notice that within a day if not hours of use the water-wicking filter mentioned was turning a little brown on the top. I don't know if the browning of the filter is due to using tap water for the humidifier or the air in my condo is that dirty. I hope it's the former rather than the latter.

The manual states that using tap water is OK because the water-wicking filter will absorb and retain the minerals in tap water, while the Protec water cleaning cartridge will help fight bacteria and other microbes in the water.

As mentioned above. This humidifier works about the same way as a swamp cooler. In a dry and warm environment, this humidifier does put out a noticeably cool breeze.

This product also boasts of having an "Air Washing Technology", and an independently controlled air ionizer. I can't comment too much about these features because I can't attest to how well they work. Again some swamp coolers can also claim of being able to wash the air as they cool...right? My gut feeling tells me that these features are a bit gimmicky. Does it really "clean" the air in my condo? Maybe. Does the air in my condo really need cleaning? Sometimes.

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 800 Whole House Console Humidifier Review

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 800 Whole House Console HumidifierI recieved this per request for Christmas of 2007 soon after getting it I realized it never shut off so I bought a seperate digial Hygrometer which showed the humidity was well above what the machine was set at. Then it wouldnt turn on the "float" seemed to never get high enough to turn the machine on, then the read out wouldnt adjust but 24 hrs later was working fine.. The little latch that holds the water "door" closed broke so now its held closed by a latch made by Saftey1st (a baby proofing latch) does it work. Yes did I call the company yes in fact I called them within 3 days of getting the "gift" and was told I could either send back the entire until with proof of purchase (which I did not have) or I could buy a seperate hygrometer through them to see if the machine was actually defective. Needless to say last winter(2008) I was so annoyed with this machine I dreaded pulling it out of the basement for use but really had to as I could not find another locally or one on the net which would cover the sq footage as this one does. This is the beginning of the 3rd season I am using it and today it ticked me off one final time by not kicking on with the humidty in the house at only 28% and the machine set for 50% and the tank filled that I am searching for a new one.. Maybe mine was defective my father has an essick air humidifier (whole house) and has never had any problems at all.. Also this puts out cool air which is supposed to be good for the skin, mucos membranes etcs however its not good when its subzero outside and the humidity is cooling the house that everyone has a chill

Germ Guardian Digital Humidifier - H3000 Review

Germ Guardian Digital Humidifier - H3000I can't beleive it, but we've tried 5 models of this humidifier, and none of them worked properly.We worked with the manufacturer, Germ Guardian, and they sent us "tested" models by their "engineers" but alas, they too had malfunctions.3 of the 5 models could not read the accurate level of humidity in the room and even after 24 hours of mist coming out, the units still read 30% humidity (the level it read as we turned it on) in our standard bedroom size room.There was no way to program them.The other 2 of the 5 had no spray control and although it was "programmed" to low, they kicked out high volumes of moisture which saturated our oriental rug!VERY frustrated with this humidifier and the company, who claims it must be our environment and "no one else appears to have this problem".How could that be?We only tried 5 models because it appeared to be the best humidifier with the most features on the market, looked great, and seemed to be the best, but after this experience, perhaps simpler is better.

ThermoMist Automatic Humidifier Review

ThermoMist Automatic HumidifierI bought this item and had it professionally installed. The product is horrible, the 'mist' that it claims is enough to corrode my HVAC unit, short out circuitboards and cost me close to $800 in parts to fix my HVAC unit.

I am only giving it one star because I dont have an option to give it zero.

Dry air can also cost you more in heating bills because it feels colder than humid air at the same temperature. When you add humidity to your home you can actually feel warmer at 68 degrees than you do at 75 degrees, saving as much as 15% in heating costs.The ThermoMist is a low maintenance automatic whole-house humidifier suitable for traditional oil or gas fired forced air heating systems. It automatically detects when the heater is blowing and sprays a fine mist into the airflow. Automatically stops when the airflow stops.

Honeywell 2-gal. Cool Moisture Humidifier Review

Honeywell 2-gal. Cool Moisture HumidifierLike others said....this is great for a kids room, but we also used it for ours as well.
The low setting really isn't that loud, and the high setting is a great 'white noise' maker for kiddos (or hubbies that are used to the sound of a fan during summer months ;p).
And while this may not be the greatest humidifier ever, it is kind of a 'get what you pay for' scnerio.

Venta 370 Digital Humidifier Review

Venta 370 Digital HumidifierLike the title says right out of the box all it did was blink the display endlessly.The manual makes no mention of this condition specifically, but does advise re-seating the maintenance free box and trying again.No dice.With quality control of this caliber, letting a relatively simply device like this slip out in a completely non functioning condition, I'm not going to give them a second chance or any benefit of the doubt.I'll be interested to see some reviews of this unit from other who might get a functioning unit.

Alsothe marketing claim that this is the "First ever maintenance free humidifier" is patently false.You need to purchase a "maintenance free box" after every 1 000 hours of operation at around $30.00 a piece. Twenty four by seven operationduring the cold months when my forced air furnace is operatingmeans you get about six weeks before shelling out another thirty bucks.Not exactly "maintenance free" in my book or Merriam-Webster s book for that matter - where "maintenance" is defined as "the upkeep of property or equipment".

UPDATE 11/17/2007:Going against my better judgment we did decide to try another unit.Within 20 seconds there was a stream of cool mist flowing into my family room, confirming that my first unit was indeed DOA.The 2 gallon tank lasts around 20 to 24 hours.The top of the unit and the side in which the mist is flowing will always get soaked with water.You will find yourself frequently wiping it down of standing water.No matter how careful I tried it was impossible to remove the tank for filling or replace the tank after filling without getting water everywhere and creating a mess to clean up.I was willing to put up with all of the little annoyances that this humidifier had to offer because it really does make my family room much more comfortable to be in.However, after about five days of using this humidifier I noticed a white film on my television.Then I noticed that the white film was on everything.It took forever to clean up and quite honestly I don't think I'll ever be able to fully remove the dust and film that was deposited everywhere.I should have went with my gut instincts on this one.

Similar to my rant above regard the "maintenance free" box, the manufacturer makes very specific claims: "No germs, no filter, no cleaning, no white dust".I've never owned a humidifier in my life that generated so much white dust.The claims made are so definitively false, and I can't believe anybody at Venta would believe them to be true, that I'm tempted to bring the matter to the attention of Consumer's Union and/or my state attorney general's office.

Plaston #30184 1355N Air Washer Review

Plaston #30184 1355N Air WasherI have owned this unit for several years.The only thing I have had to replace is the water tank, after I dropped it.Opps.And the ionic silver anti-microbial sticks, several times, once at the end of each winter season.

The unit is quiet.It humidifies my large master bedroom on the "low" setting.To clean, once a year, I soak the blade unit in 50 percent white vinegar for an hour, turning a few times, and then throw it in the dish washer.No fuss, no problem.

Highly recommended.

Hunter 34351 Care Free Humidifier Plus with Permawick 3.5-Gallon Output Review

Hunter 34351 Care Free Humidifier Plus with Permawick 3.5-Gallon OutputI sought a low maintenance humidifier and decided to try the Hunter. It hit all my desires: Filter that doesn't need replacing, made of materials that inhibit bacteria growth, evaporative (lower cost to operate)...and the real eye-catcher was the "Care Free" designation.

During the first month, everything worked just fine. But as time went on, it became increasingly difficult to clean...

The tray and wick can be put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. But the fan housing is extremely difficult to clean (it's the largest component and contains the motor and fan). The fan draws air in through the front grill, through the wick where the water evaporates and blows the moistened air out of the top. Because the fan is strong (and loud), dust slowly builds up on the grill (outside and inside). And because the inside of the fan housing is constantly moving moist air, missing one cleaning allows mildew buildup. If this part of the humidifier could be immersed in water, it would've been easy to clean, but it can't. So it is extremely difficult to clean the grill and the inside of the fan housing. When we contacted Hunter on the mildew buildup, they recommended running a little chlorine bleach through the humidifier. That didn't work.

After 1.5 seasons of winter-only use, the fan siezed up and this humidifier no longer works. I'm ready to try another brand.

Jarden Heaters #HM1296-UC 3GAL Humidifier/1 Touch Review

Jarden Heaters #HM1296-UC 3GAL Humidifier/1 TouchI've had this model (HOLMES branded -- I don't know what this Jarden brand is) for two years and it works flawlessly.Tank is solid and has not broken or cracked.Turns on and off automatically according to the level I have set with no issues.

Keep in mind there are two types of humidifiers: those that use a wick to blow moist air into the room, but do not show a visible mist (this model is that type) and those that blow a visible mist in the air via the ultrasonic method.Just because you do not see a visible mist with this unit does not mean it's not working.I have a hygrometer in the room which clearly verifies what I feel -- this unit works.

I recommend it.
