I first saw the Germ Guardian H1000 on the desktop of a co-worker. I searched the web for it and found the best price at Amazon. I originally bought it for work, but set it up on my nightstand to test it out and liked so much it never made it to the office. (I may have to get a second one for work.) It's compact size and efficiency are real selling points. I even used it in a recent production I was in, taking it to and from the theater every night. Most of the other performers in the cast wanted to know all about it and were also impressed. I highly-recommend it.

I was very disappointed with this product. Initially, it appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. A small, attractive, filterless humidifier for a baby nursery that had natural antimicrobial properties.

Prior to purchasing, I read a number of online reviews. Like most products, there were mixed results, but overall the impressions seemed positive. I had read a review by Paul here who claimed that the product didn't work. I assumed his review was hyperbole. Turns out Paul was right. It just plain doesn't work.

We ran this humidifier in our baby's nursery for 16 hours straight (refilling so the tank was never empty). In 16 hours, the humidity went from 33% to 34% !?!? It just plain doesn't work.

Now, I should also state some obvious stuff. We used the product in what should have been an appropriate environment. The room is very small 9'x9' and the door was closed to eliminate loss of humidity. Also, my experience can not be explained away as a single faulty unit. I had ordered two (another for the master bedroom), so we retested with a second model with identical results. Both produced a visible mist immediately above the unit, so they were 'working'.

This product has great features in theory. I was excited by the nano silver technology which in theory should make for a clean and low maintenance experience.

I returned this product and purchased a well known brand. While it didn't have all the flashy features of this Germ Guardian, it just plain works. I installed it 10 minutes ago and the room humidity has climbed more than 5%.

Bottom line. This product doesn't work. If you plan to purchase it despite these warnings, make sure you keep your receipt for the return.

This is a tiny humidifier! I bought it for my son as he suffers from bloody noses at night. We live in Arizona and it is very dry. We have the full size Germ Guardian on our side of the house and we like it but I thought the lights would bother the boys at night. So we ordered this. It puts out a small amount of steam and only lasts about 12 hours in our very dry house. But it seems to be enough for my boys. The unit does get warm and doesn't turn itself off when empty. It has a light inside which makes the unit glow a very pretty blue which is a great night light.

Honest reviews on pureguardian H1000 12-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier

I've been using the Germ Guardian H1000 in a small bedroom (approx 150 sf). It doesn't really seem to work! I've measured the humidify before and after and it really doesn't seem to change significantly. It's small, quiet and cute but what's supposed to be most important is how well it works. And it doesn't.

I was first very impressed by the reviews I read and liked that this humidifier is so small.

However, it is surprising to me that no one has mentioned the missing research yet when it comes to the nano particles that not only clean the air this humidifier blows out but also may be a health concern!

"A 2005 study in Environmental Science & Technology showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were toxic to human lung cells in lab tests even at low concentrations. Other studies have shown that tiny silver particles (15 nanometers) killed liver and brain cells from rats. "They are more chemically reactive and more bioactive," Illuminato says, because of their size, which allows them to easily penetrate organs and cells. "Products should be at least labeled so consumers can choose whether they want to be part of this experiment.""

.

There is not a lot of information out there for consumers to really understand the possible impact of nano particles in the air (and in food and clothes), and in the meantime, this technology is being used like x-rays in shoe stores at the turn of the century!

As much as I wanted to like this humidifer, I also don't want to be part of a study in 10 years....good luck to everyone else!

Review of Haier HDN655E 65-Pint Capacity Electronic Control Dehumidifier

Customer Ratings:

This was a great dehumidifier while it worked. A plumbing leak resulted in water in my normally dry basement so I bought the Haier HDN655E dehumidifier to dry things out after the leak was fixed. It pulled the humidity in my basement down to 45% in a couple of days. After that I ran it on Sundays when I was in the basement working on my hobbies. Unfortunately it died completely after a few weekends of use. Looking around on the internet it appears this unit may have a propensity for blowing an internal fuse when power is cycled and the compressor and blower come on simultaneously.

---

I really liked the electronic controls, the humidity setting and the timed off setting. The humidity readout is in increments of 5%, and tracked very close to a fairly expensive gauge I had nearby on the wall. The negatives: 1) The blower runs continuously when the desired humidity level is obtained, only the compressor stops, 2) Momentary power outages reset the humidity control to a default of 60% (and then the unit runs and runs any you wonder why it can't pull the humidity below 60%).

---

I called Haier support since the unit was still under warranty, but the person who answered the phone was extremely curt and the repair process consisted of sending pieces of the unit back to service center in return for a new unit. It was easier just to return the whole unit to where I bought it.

This dehumidifier does exactly what it is supposed to do, removes H2O from the room. Great in our basement, no more "damp" feeling carpet and no worries the kids are playing in an unsafe enviroment. It is not "whisper quiet" as the Solarus promises, but I like the fact that it has an air output vent on the top that discharges de-humidified, dry, fresh air. Probably why it is a little louder than my old Kenmore dehumidifier. I like the air flow into the room. It is not too loud either. We use it in the laundry room with no door and you can still hear the tv on a low setting. Wouldn't want to sleep in the same room, though.

I have used other brands, namely, Sears (? manufacturer), LG, Goldstar and Whirlpool. HAIER seems to be the best.

You can get it in Wal Mart for about $179. I have bought 2 in the past 2 years, for a large basement in a house in a wooded area. Wal Mart is, however, poor in maintaining an inventory of slow moving items, and it may not be available in all stores at all times.

Honest reviews on Haier HDN655E 65-Pint Capacity Electronic Control Dehumidifier

I purchased the Haier Dehumidifier model HDN655E a year ago.

I started to have problems with the switch that resets the unit after the water tank has been emptied and replaced,

I recently set up a system so I did not have to carry the water upstairs to empty. When I attached the drain hose, per the instuctions, I found that the water did not drain out the hose, it continued to fill the built in water tank. I still have to empty the tank and fight the reset switch.

This was my first unit. I have looked at other dehumidifiers and find others offer better systems to drain the water, the water tanks do not have to be emptied manually.

I would not recommend this unit. The reset switch is getting harder to manually reset, (replacing the water tank won't reset it,) and I don't expect it to work much longer.

The good:

---It does a great job quickly. It is a workhorse.

---I like that you can set the relative humidity setting all the way down to 30 if you want. Other units I have only go down to 50 or constant mode.

---I like that it has a timer for auto shutoff.

---The handle on the bucket makes emptying the water more convenient

--Nice, thin profile.

The bad:

---There are no scheduling for turning on or scheduled change in rel humidity types of options. But, I haven't seen this on any of these types of units. It would be nice to have.

---It pulls air in front and discharges in back. So you can't set it in a corner of the room. Other units have a side air discharge. This is important to think about before buying. Where do you plan on placing it when operating? Tucked away against the wall in the corner of a room? Can't do it.

--Dehumidifiers generate a little heat that they discharge. This comes from the dehumidifying itself.

The ugly

--It is a little noisy. I used to think that I didn't care about this feature. But, it will draw attention if guests are over. Other units I have are much quieter. But, it sounds like a floor fan on high speed, nothing more. So, if you don't care about a high speed fan sound in the room when operating, then this shouldn't matter. But, if you don't want the sound of a floor fan on high speed, then this unit is probably not for you.

I set it up in main room of our house and turn on at night with the 8 hour timer. Works out great. I use quieter units during the day.

I live in humid Florida and have allergies. Dehumidifiers often help with allergies and really do make the house more comfortable. Mold grows above 50% rel humidity. It doesn't below 50% generally. My family used to cough a lot in our house at night before we got dehumidifiers. As soon as I put one in each bedroom, the coughing stopped for everyone. No joke.

Holmes HM1230 Cool Mist Humidifier for 600 Square Foot Room Review

Customer Ratings:

I spent a lot of time in the store looking over humidifiers, and finally decided on the Holmes. I like the design and features. The good point is it works very well at humidifying a small room. The bad is that it is VERY noisy. There's no way you could have it on high it sounds like a jet engine. On low it is still quite loud. I have it in my son's room, and the white noise actually helps him sleep, but I would never be able to have it in my own room. If the noise isn't an issue, then this is a great humidifier, but I believe most people would prefer a quieter unit.

I bought this humidifier for my 5 month old's room to help not only with adding moisture to our dry home, but to help drown out the noises of the busy street we live on as well as the sounds from within our house. It has made a world of difference! He has slept so well since I bought this. It works great. The high setting does have a louder hum, but I sleep in his room sometimes and have no problem getting to sleep. The only down side is having to buy filters. The cheapest I've found are $8.20 + shipping each and we need to probably buy a new one every 1-2 months. Great purchase otherwise!

Honest reviews on Holmes HM1230 Cool Mist Humidifier for 600 Square Foot Room

I bought this humidifier because I was having trouble with my asthma this winter in the hot dry air of my home. I was desperate to try and add a little moisture to the air. I chose a "cool-air" product because the assumption was that I did not want to add any more "hot-air" than I already had, however, i have only used this product 2 or 3 times. It is way too noisy. The fan component of the humidifier makes it very difficult to sleep with it on, and my husband absolutely refuses to have it on when he is in the room. So whether or not the product can relieve the dryness in my bedroom is moot, since I can't use it!

This little bugger does the job very well but two things I must add, if you are in heated room; it will make the temperature go down fast since it is a cool mist humidifier...... 2nd on full speed it is too noisy to keep in bedroom.

It does look nice and I am using it without any powers because of above listed issues hence it is keeping my 14x13 room at 50% humidity, how? I just filled it up with tap water and I can see water level dropping day by day without turning it on, also I have a digital humidity monitor in my room and I can watch the humidity level with or without HM1230 in the room.

We were in the market for a humidifier for the winter months due to sore throats/dry throats at night. So we purchased this unit. I've read reviews on other products and most of them did not give a clear enough why it was either bad nor good. So we figured might as well give this product a whirl being the price was right and we could return it at the local Target store.

To our surprise this unit works as intended albeit the unusually loud fan (even on the lowest setting). But to us the white noise it generates is actually welcomed in our bedroom. It's not any louder than my custom gaming computer fans that i leave on running at night. This product is used in our room which measures 17ftx17ft. The air humidity at night is just right now. For the first time in the winter months me and the wifey got good sleep!! we both woke up with no sore throats or dry sinuses!

So in short review here are the PRO's and CON's

PRO's : Works as advertised. capable of humidifying a room of 17ft x 17ft with ease. Water tank holds a good amount of water. Run time on it is 16hrs filled. Easy to fill tank. Easy to clean. Comes with 2 extra filters.

CON's : Slightly loud fan (if you like white noise at night) then this would be a plus :) Would be nicer if it had one more lower level for the fan speed for the people that complain about the slight noise.

This product is worth the price! would recommend it to anyone looking into a Humidifier for a bedroom or a living room.

This humidifier is essentially 3 pieces: the reservoir, the actual "unit" with the fan, and the base. A paper filter sits inside the actual "unit" with the dial, and sucks up water from the base. The fan blows on the wet filter and voila: humidifier.

The fan itself is fairly noisy much like a desk fan. You have the option to select low or high on the fan, and select a month from another dial which is completely useless.

The worst part about this unit is the fact that the filter lasts for about a week before it starts reeking. It is like your kitchen sponge, the stagnant water in the unit and the wet filter is a breeding ground for bacteria. You get 2 filters, but you'll go through them very quickly.

I've had this humidifier for about 3 months now, and have been pleased! It does moisturize, but it seem so go through filters awfully fast (about 20 days or so, I think the box says...) I know some reviews say it is loud, but it is good for just white noise, actually. Only on the second setting is it a bit too loud.

Cheap Hunter 31009 Microban Ultrasonic Small Room Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

We purchased this humidifier after receiving a different unit from Amazon a few weeks earlier. My daughters liked it so much I decided to get another one for my son's room. Unfortunately the same model wasn't available so we went with this model from Hunter.

Pros: The Hunter model has a larger water tank and variable humidification setting. At a mid-line setting we get two nights out of one tank of water.

Cons: Unlike the smaller/cheaper unit we purchased a few weeks earlier the Hunter unit has no means of using any type of aromatherapy with the mist to help when the kids have breathing troubles (stuffy noses, chest congestion). It also does not have a night-light feature like some others. This may not be a con for most.

The Hunter unit is quiet and works well. Compared to any local stores the price from Amazon was fantastic and makes this well worth the purchase price.

We wanted a small humidifier for our bedroom, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Since it is ultrasonic, it is extremely quiet. It is small, but the tank holds enough water to humidify for at least two nights. It really makes the difference to prevent sore, dry throats to have this running every night!

The tank is smaller than the other humidifiers that I currently have in the house, but I still only have to fill the tank about every 2 days. Would highly recommend this product. I love that there in not a filter to clean.

This humidifier gets water EVERYWHERE!!!!! My carpet was completely soaked after the first time I used it. I checked for leaks, and found none. It's just from the mist itself!!!! I had it turned on medium the first night, so I lowered it the next night, same result. Then, less than a week after I started using it, the red light was coming on indicating an empty tank. It was clearly over halfway full! I read the owner's manual before I ever used it. It's supposed to be very simple. Too bad it doesn't work properly. I'm returning it.

I bought this filter for my Essick MA0800 humidifier and, like others who have written reviews about securing filters, I was not able to find one at local stores. The one I purchased from filters-now.com was about half the price of others I saw and it worked fine. I did have to trim about 4" from the filter to have it fit in my humidifier, but that was no problem.

I'm glad I bought two of the filters, as these will probably get me through this winter season. At $7.99 each, they weren't cheap, but Amazon had other similar filters at over twice the price. Shipping was prompt and I received my filters, using standard shipping, 6 days after I placed my order. Quite pleased with product, price, and service.

I have to admit I fell in love with the look of the Orca Humidifier (baby has a nautical themed room) before researching about the quality of the product. It is a little bulky of a size and you are not able to turn the Orca's nose, so be sure to have it on a high shelf that supports the entire humidifier in a child's room. It is extremely quiet cool misting humidifier with an automatic shutoff which we love. As with all humidifiers, it can drip water while you are cleaning and replacing water, but I have yet to find one that does not do that. All in all, we are very happy with this product.

Review of Fuente Humidifier Bag

Customer Ratings:

I placed an order through Amazon.com for a large Fuente humidifier bag, sold and shipped by Cuenca Cigars, and gave it to my husband as a gift. The package arrived quickly by USPS.

Inside the package (excellent packaging by the way) was a very Large Fuente Humidifier Bag and also a complimentary Cuenca 6x60 "house cigar", which my husband absolutely loved!!!

The Fuente Humidifier is a laminated bag with a resealable zipper and includes Humidipak's patented 2-way humidity control technology to maintain a 70% humidity level. Once the bag is opened, it's good for 6 months with no maintainence! After six months, just throw the bag away. This is perfect for him while he researches Humidors (he is leaning towards Adorini) and also for myself if I decide to purchase some cigars for my husband, I can just place them in this bag until I give it to him for his Birthday, Christmas, etc.

Here are the specifications from Humidipak.com:

Model: Large Bag

Humidipak inside (%RH): 70% RH

Dimensions (WxH): 12" x 16"

Storage Capacity: Up to 2 boxes

Working Life: 6-mos, after opening

Zipper-Type: Side load

My husband then emailed Cuenca Cigars and thanked them for the Cuenca "House Blend" cigar he received and then inquired about ordering a box of them.

Well, much to his surprise, shortly after sending the email, my husband quickly received a response from Mr. Cuenca, thanking him and also providing a link so that he could order a box of these 6x60 House Blend Cigars named "Cuenca Happy"!

I highly recommend Cuenca Cigars for both their outstanding Customer Service, Cigars, and Humidifiers!

I discovered these bags in a cigar shop while on vacation and bought one. Once you open the bag, it is good for about 6 months before you need a new one. This is how it works: Inside the bag is a small packet that looks much those you get for towelettes. When you open the bag, write the expiration date on the little packet with a permanent pen but do not tear or damage the packet in anyway. The expiration date is six months from the time you first opened the bag. You don't have to write the expiration date but it is handy to do so. And then place your cigars in the bag and zip it up. You're done. I like these because I can travel with the them and they are very low maintenance. No if you are a cigar collector and want to age your cigars, go with a humidor with a digital hygrometer. But if you are like me and smoke a few cigars or enjoy bringing them to events or for others at a party, try this bag. You'll like it.

The medium bag will hold as many as 20 cigars without cramming them in.

I rarely write reviews, but since this item didn't have any and we bought it recently as a new-baby humidifier, I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this one. We will use our humidifiers strictly for the baby, and although we've only been using this one for a week, I may update this review for a final verdict. After reading numerous other reviews (I'm aiming to pick up another one soon), I feel slightly more educated about the features that consumers might find more desirable in a humidifier.

What I like:

* It works. I wouldn't normally add this seemingly obvious comment as a plus, but after reading other reviews, it seemed worth mentioning. If it fails in the near future, I will update this comment.

* No filters or wicks necessary. I find this feature highly desirable no added costs.

* Ultrasonic technology makes this unit run silently. And I mean silently! It makes no significant noise. Perhaps with other technologies, the mist volume could be heavier and thus noisier, but the quiet nature of this unit is pleasant. Also, thanks to the ultrasonic tech, the vapor stream is virtually instantaneous when switched on, both on warm or cold. Granted, a minor point, but nice. Which brings me to another pleasant feature....

* Emits both warm or cold mist. And does so effortlessly. One of its 4 face buttons allows a quick and easy switch from warm to cold and back, and as mentioned above, the change is immediate.

* The H4600 has 3 variable spray options. Low spray is perhaps too low, but the option is there if you want it to run all day and night. There is also a dual headed mist nozzle which allows greater choice at aiming the mist, but I don't find this feature particularly useful since the mist spray isn't all that strong to begin with, but it's a nice addition, nonetheless.

* Silver Clean technology claims to fight mold and mildew in the water tank, allowing for healthier vapors and less cleaning. Too soon to judge this feature, but even if it works a little, it'll be helpful and it's better than not having it.

* Easy interface. The front panel has a simple 4 button operation with a lit display. I found this to be a welcome feature. One button is simply On or Off. Another is variable spray volume (low, medium, high) kind of like a fan speed. The third is to switch from cold mist or warm mist. And the last button is for the night light. That blue circle on the face of the unit is the night light. It's fairly bright, but blue, so it's not as bright as it might be otherwise. Since we use this for the baby's room, we like this feature. The lit display shows the volume of spray (in a too elaborate display of LEDs), the chosen hot or cold mist option, and an indicator for low water in the tank. (The humidifier turns off when tank is too empty)

What I don't like:

* It's a bottom filled tank, meaning you need to lift out the tank, unscrew the underside cap to fill it with water. Thankfully, there are little handles on both the top and underside of the tank, but I don't understand why humidifiers don't regularly feature a top filling portal. It would be nice to be able to add water with a pitcher poured in the top rather than removing the entire tank, filling it and replacing it. The tank is fairly generous at 2.4 gallons, but that makes the full tank over 16 lbs. when full. Okay for me, but not the wife. Also, and perhaps more egregious is that the output nozzles on top (where the mist comes out) are rounded and interfere with the tank laying flat on its back when being filled. You cannot lay this tank flat on its back to fill it so it must be held, or at least braced (unless I didn't realize that the output nozzles can be removed?)

* Cost. This is one of the most expensive room humidifiers I've seen. It does have a nice feature set, and so far, operates as advertised, so I think it's worth it, but the price may discourage potential buyers. My wife bought this one because it was expensive. She figured it HAD to be the best one. I'm not sure she was wrong about that.

NOTE: For some reason, the amazon page that displays this item lists the following as one of its features, "Digital display and clock with programmable run features". I believe this was a mistake taken from some other model that isn't being shown, although I've yet to see a humidifier with a digital clock on it. The picture amazon shows is the one we have. Well, I saw no such display or feature. There is no clock or digital display here, let alone programmable features. None that I saw, and I went through the manual. Perhaps this amazon model is one notch higher in this series of humidifiers and explains why it costs $20+ more than ours.

Conclusion: At first, I was disappointed with the design of the bottom-fill tank, and the poor placement of the output mist nozzles that I thought this was a deal breaker and planned on returning it. But then I came onto to Amazon to research and buy another model, and after rooting around the reviews, I realize that this model is actually pretty good. I don't think the tank lasts 120 hours (5 days!), but it lasts fairly long. So, aside from the tank filling procedure, everything else about this humidifier is quite nice. Recommended.

** UPDATE **

The rounded silver-colored output nozzle on the top of the unit can, indeed, be removed while refilling with water. That's helpful. It's still not perfect, as the tank doesn't lay flat on its back for refilling, but it helps. Also, the price of this unit has since gone up from when I wrote my review. We paid somewhere between $160-$180. Unfortunately, I don't recall for certain, but if you're thinking of buying this item, make sure you get the model with "Digital display and clock with programmable run features" as it states in the description. Ours didn't come with that feature, and it's the only thing that explains the price difference from what we paid. I can't say if the extra cost is worth it, but I hope that helps.

** Update II **

It's now January 2013 around 2+ years after purchase. The H4600 Ultrasonic Humidifier is still kicking, rather nicely, thank you. We use it primarily for the winter months. The internal basin of the base needs an occasional cleaning, but otherwise, all is well!

I have an electric PTAC heater/AC unit. It provides amazing heat in the winter and dries the room out like you wouldn't believe making it so I have to wake up in the middle of the night to turn the heater off, or open a window to get moisture in the room. My last humidifier was OK, but it just didn't do enough to combat the heater. I put this on last night for the first time (and last night was snowing weather). The setting was on low, warm mist. Wow I slept so well. I didn't wake up to turn the heater off, I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to drink from my bottle of water (I go through 16-24 ounces a night). I HIGHLY recommend this product for people with dry rooms. The fact that it has a 120 hour refill cycle is awesome! It's also quiet!

Obviously since it's new I can't comment on cleaning procedures

My only negative feedback is the lights on this thing cannot be turned off. It's in my bedroom and I have the LED lights hitting my wall. Considering they have a night-light button that turns some extra lights on they could have just made that button turn all the lights OFF. I will end up taping a piece of cloth to the front to block the light.

Minimal upkeep, as promised, but if you don't buy the additional demineralization cartridge, you may see some white dust on the machine and nearby furniture. Not as totally silent as I'd hoped... The 'glug-glug' sound is fairly intrusive in a quiet room (like a baby nursery). But overall, it's a good product. Only drawback for me is the lack of a hydrostat, so you can't set an maintain a desired humidity level.
