I bought this at Costco, and I ran this the first night on my bedroom floor, which is carpeted. I left it running on low and I woke up to find my carpet wet in the path of the cool mist. The next night, I ran it on the top of my dresser, about 4 feet up, and that was high enough to prevent the mist from hitting the floor directly. Seems to be working well for me. Emits a fine visible cool mist. When running on the low setting overnight, it uses about half the tank, so I'm refilling the tank every other night.

Love It !!!!! Have had it now for about 3 months and ended up getting another one for my daughters room. No filter , uses tap water its perfect. It does shut off sometimes if it thinks the humidity is at the level set but you can put it at stay on all the time and its fine. I bought and returned 3 others before i finally found this one !!! I dont keep it on floor (as it says not to) and have no water leaking problems .

updateshould mention there is a light on front which some may find bothersome.I sleep with a mask on so it doesnt bother me. Its not real bright but if you like total dark it may bother you.You can always put a washcloth in front of it to block it .

I bought this Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier at Costco and immediately was impressed. I have purchased so called "quiet" humidifiers in the past but they still rattled and made noise. You can't even hear this one running. We purchased it mid November 2012 and have used it just about every day and then it just quit working and wouldn't turn on. We followed the instructions and cleaned it daily and weekly so don't know what happened. I feel somewhat uncomfortable giving this humidifier a low rating just because it quit working. That doesn't mean it is a bad product and it just could be a fluke. Every product is bound to have one lemon in the bunch. I wanted to purchase another but Costco was out in all of their stores. I only paid about $37.99 at Costco but they are being advertised on the Internet at about $68. If you want a really,really, quiet cool mist humidifier, this is the one.

Honest reviews on Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier

We purchased this humidifier for my daughter at Costco (for half of Amazon's price). A month later, we loved it so much that we wanted another for my son. Our Costco didn't have them anymore, so I ordered another through Amazon. It has helped both children's runny noses and my son's dry skin. We have no issues with my daughter's humidifier. I love that there is no filter to change or dry out. The one in my son's room leaves white powder/dust everywhere! We have to dust his room every night. This has never been an issue with my Costco humidifier. Packaging and everything was exactly the same. We will continue to use this humidifier because it has really made a difference with his extremely dry skin.

I bought this unit from Costco. At very beginning, I'm little concerned about this product, because there are not a lot of reviews @ amazon. And the only review I found said very badly about this product. But after I used it for couple weeks, I'm positive to say this is a great product. There's no wet path on the floor after I used it at all. (Not like the other review said.) It's very easy to pour water in. It's also nice that you actually have options to adjust the humidity level.

I purchased this humidifier for a library, which is primarily dark woods and the white 821-000 model which is a very good unit stood out like a sore thumb. Fortunately, both units take the #1043 replacement wick. The pictures I saw of the product depict a rather rich looking appearance, but in the flesh its not so impressive. The fill level is somewhat confusing. Its a 1" plate saying max fill. Fill to the bottom/middle/top of the plate? Nothing in the manual on the subject. Filling it is a pain with a little door that makes pouring in water a precision operation to avoid spills. In addition, I needed a flashlight to see the water level to prevent overfilling. I have 2 of the 821-000 models and they are much easier to use. They should make a dark colored version of it where white is not a good option. I have also found that filling the units with filtered water greatly extends filter life and efficiency. Otherwise, if the water used has a high mineral content it will turn the filter into a cinder block in short order.

It is plastic, but it looks good, and is much better looking than competitive models. It is also very quiet on the 1 setting, and puts out a lot of moisture and the 9 setting, and can be set anywhere in between.

the major drawback is that there is no way to tell how much water is in the reservoir. The unit holds 3.5 gallons, so when it is empty, I add 3 gallons. I have to wait until it is empty to fill it (which can happen anytime) when I am not around, there is no easy way to top it off in the evening.

Reading the reviews of this product, I was hesitant to purchase it, but comparing the other humidifiers on this site, I couldn't find one that was any better. That being said, I was afraid to buy it on line in case it needed to be returned so I purchased it locally. A couple of comments regarding it performance:

Noise: Sounds like a pedestal fan, or box fan, really not that big of a deal for us. After a couple hours you forget that its actualy there. There are about 10 fan levels, you realy don't need that many, but it is nice to turn it down, if your listening to a movie, and then pump it up when you need the extra moisture.

Filling the tank: The one feature I really like is that you just pop open a small door, and using a pitcher, fill it up, it holds 3 gallons. With our wood stove running non stop, and the humidifier set on medium to high fan level, we go through about 3 gallons every 24 hours, and it keeps the main living floor at 45 to 50 percent humidity.

The unit keeps our 1700 sqft, 2 story house comfortable, we keep it by the stairs, so that the natural draft distributes the mositur evenly.

One complaint, I wish it had a water level window, you don't know its full untill water is running on the floor, so we just put a gallon in it in the morning, and one at night, or just wait till it runs out completly.

The remote control is usefull, but not nessecary. It is nice to see the humidity is on the other side of the room, not just right at the machine.

The tile top is extremely fragile, be carefull.

The plastic consol is just that plastic, not bad, but not great, though since it is a pedestal, it is not very obtrusive.

We;ve been running it for 2 months now on well water and np problems, the wick still works and it does a good job. The concept is simple, a fan blowing across a large wick, like an auto air filter. Its not flashy, but it does it job.

This unit looks nice and that is where the value ends. The door in the front pulls down for you to fill the unit, unfortunetly there is no gauge as to how much water is needed. Fill it to high and the unit overflows, and stops working. The only way to determine how much water is needed is to take teh full lid off. In addittion witht he way the fill door is set, there is a high probablility the water will spill out as you lift the fill container (one you use) higher. Looks nice and that is it.

Now the unit I do recomend for one from the same company that is easy to fill and runs for a long time is the Essick Air 4D7 300 Whole-House Console-Style Evaporative Humidifier. I purchased both of them and this one is much easier to work with. It has two large fill tanks that last a long time (depending on how dry your place is) comes with a hose that mkaes it easy till fill, water is in sealed container as you move it from fill source to unit. Bigger and not as nice looking at the EP9500 but a better choice.

This humidifier is a good size if you're looking for a whole house humidifier with a small footprint. It appears to have a woodgrain look in the photos, but it doesn't. It's just brown plastic...really cheap looking brown plastic. Having said that, it is slightly more attractive than the gray plastic humidifiers and does blend in a little better than one of those. The granite tile for the top is an actual (relatively thick) granite tile, which was surprising to me. Honestly, I think it makes the plastic look even cheaper by comparison though. I do give them props for putting it on rolling casters. It's really easy to shove into a closet if you're having company and don't want to look at an ugly appliance.

I've only had this for about a week now, but it seems to do the job fairly well. The air doesn't seem quite as chilly since I've been humidifying it; which is why I wanted a large humidifier. You can set the desired humidity and the system will turn itself on and off to maintain that. You can also adjust the fan speed at 9 levels. It is fairly loud even at the lowest speed, but not overly distracting.

EDIT 1-21-2012: The humidity sensor on this thing is useless. Sometimes it will come on for about 10 seconds, then shut off and do that continually. It loses a star for that as this feature doesn't seem to work correctly. I just turn it all the way up when I want to humidify and off when I don't.

Others have commented on the fill door being useless and I have to agree. You can use it, but unless you take the top piece off, there is absolutely no way of knowing how full the tank is. I find it easier to just open it up to fill it rather than guess and risk an overflow. The top piece pulls right off, so this isn't much of a hardship.

I keep my reviews up to date and will share additional comments, good or bad, if my experience with this appliance changes.

WHEN it works it is OK. It has all of the defects described by the other reviewers. But they make up for the defects with rotten customer service. I bought this unit on January 31 07. Used it until the end of March, at which time I cleaned it and replaced all of the consumables per the instructions. I put it back in service two weeks ago. Six days ago it stopped working. I called their customer service. They use an out-sourced customer service group that will NOT talk to you, but rather, insists on taking your number and calling you back in the evening. Of course, they called back when I was out and left a message that they would call the following evening. They did not. I called back the next day and went through the same thing. That evening, since thay had not called by 8:30, I called them. This time, they insisted that I go through some trouble-shooting (all of which I had done previously). They then told me to leave it unplugged for a 1/2 hour (by which time they would be gone) and then "reset" the unit by pressing a button combination. I did this. The next day I called them again and got the same "wait until tonight" pitch. I insisted on an RMA number, which I received. HOWEVER, before they will tell you where to ship the unit, you need to FAX them a proof-of-purchase (their email address bounces back). The you have to wait for them to call. It is now 6:30PM on a Friday night and no call. So I called them and got their voice mail, where I was instructed to leave a message. So It will not get shipped to them this week. Next week I am traveling, so it won't get shipped until the following week, which means that they will not get it until after Christmas, which means it will be mid-January before I get a repaired unit. These people are total idiots. For a $200 humidifier, I would expect some sort of real customer assistance. Be warned before you buy.

UPDATE: Well, a month after I sent the defective unit in, I received a TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND MUCH CHEAPER UNIT in return. I am now on my THIRD phone call with these idiots and have yet to talk to someone who can resolve this problem. The right person is "not in the office" and will "call me back." HAH!! They NEVER call back. I wish I had never heard of these people.

I've owned this humidifier for a couple of months now. The features that I like best about it are: it regulates the ambient humidity (i.e. the unit has a humidity sensor for the room) when it reaches the desired level it automatically stops the mist; also it gives you an indication when the unit needs to be cleaned (pretty simple process); and most important the unit stops when there's not enough water (again a little indicator flashes for your attention) furthermore, the unit is very well designed and has a very contemporary look highly recommended!

I have been using wick-based humidifiers for the past few years in the bedroom. Last year I noticed every morning when I woke and I used the humidifier, I was constantly congested. I stopped using it and looked for another type, leery of vaporizer types because of past experience with white dust.

I found this AOS 7142....pricey, and I was worried about white dust...but I liked the concept of the silver bar to inhibit bacteria growth and the demineralization cartridge to minimize dust.

I have been very impressed so far. No lung congestion. No white dust....I live in the Dallas area.

Pros: effective, silent, maintained 600 ft bedroom at 50%; choice of warm mist (I think this setting works better, but more $$ to operate) or cold mist, styling, controls, full tank at full blast lasted about 14 hours.

Cons: filling water tank; it has a handle to carry water container back to unit, but none on the other side to hold the container when filling it....and it gets heavy. Plus the container cannot stand by itself upside down and tips over.

If it wasn't for this latter design flaw, I would give it 5 stars, but good enough to make me buy another one for my home office.

Honest reviews on Air-O-Swiss 32838 Ultrasonic Humidifier

A very good humidifier, but with a couple of flaws. Very quiet, pumps out lots of warm mist at close to the 3.5 gal/day quoted rate. As such, the tank needs to be filled 2x daily if used full bore in a larger room. As with any ultrasonic humidifier that I've used, filling the tank can be cumbersome and, as some have pointed out, this tank has no flat surface to rest it on, making it unstable. But ignore comments about leaking, placement, etc. because they have NOTHING to do with the model, but more the style of humidifier (ultrasonic). Flaws: more white dust than usual with hard water because the filter has a design flaw. The washer seal on the tank plunger is supposed to double as a filter "anti-bypass" seal, but allows water to bypass the filter (it's undersized). Also, the humidity controller "hunts" on and off when the setpoint is reached, rapidly turning the mist on and off very annoying in the middle of the night. (For you engineers, there is no "hysteresis" in the control loop.) To avoid this, you need to raise the humidity setpoint higher than desired and lower the fan speed to keep the room level fairly constant, essentially turning the humidifier into a manual control model. (So why spend $200 for the fancy controls?) All in all, it pumps out humidity, it's easy to clean, it's very quiet, it's relatively easy to fill, the humidity is nice and warm (and doesn't freeze out the room), my throat no longer croaks in the morning, and my eyes aren't fused shut. BTW, we live in bone dry Colorado with forced hot air, and the unit is in a ~600 sq. ft BR with a 15' ceiling and adjoining master bath. It does the job nicely if run constantly. I would imagine that the reports about hard water being a big problem are right on. Still, for us: 4 stars.

This humidifier is great for programing humidity, fan speed, sleep mode, etc.

BUT IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER DO NOT BUY IT. It puts out white dust that will go all over your house. I have three Sharper Image Ionic breezes, on two floors of my house. I had to clean them every day and they were covered with white dust. Besides that; my furnature , TV screen, etc.were covered with white dust within two days. I buought a Honeywell with a exchangable filter that uses vapor rather than mist to humidify the air. This works great. Very little white dust. Half the cost.

It heats water which is exactly what it is meant to do. A couple items I would change on it if I could. It would be handy if the handle would stay upright as it is shown in the photo but it's no big deal-breaker for me. The lid is bit tricky to open when adding more water to it (we leave it on the stove, on the trivet) if you're wearing hot gloves or a oven mit again not a serious problem. A little potpouri and a couple quarts of water and your off an runnig. Be carefull not to put too much water in it as it tends to boil out the snout if you do.

The purchase experience was good. It took about a week to get the part and it appears that most of that time it was in transit. This is long but not a big issue.

There was no documentation that indicated that the valve had an input and output (i.e. flow direction). There also wasn't any indication that the valve can be mounted in either a left or right orientation. As it turns out, there is an arrow on the valve that indicates flow. Additionally, there is a screw on the side of the valve that allows it to rotate allowing either left or right mount.

In the end, this is a good product with nice features and better documentation would make this an EXCELLENT product overall.

I read the reviews about this product. I was concerned about the "Solenoid not included" comment so I email the company. They quickly responded that the solenoid was included. I ordered the product. It does not come with instruction but there are only two wires and an in/out for the water which is marked with an arrow. Hard to screw up! Took me 20 minutes to install mainly because it's hard to reach behind the water heater.

Bottom line easy to install, stopped the leak problem I had with the original part. What else could you ask for?

Both of the other reviews indicate that this is a solenoid valve assembly but it is NOT! The picture you see is NOT what you get. The picture is for the solenoid valve assembly (which is what I thought I was buying).

This particular product is the transformer. It was a stupid mistake on my part trusting the review and the pictures. Too bad shipping was $9.00, as now it's not worth it to send it back.

I bought this to use with essential oils, and it got decent reviews. BUT it says on the outside of the box to only use FEA aroma solution and NOT essential oils or you might damage the machine. That's not mentioned in the product description. I'm curious if anyone has had success with essential oils. I am using Eden's Garden essential oils in it right now with good results. I'm using about 25 drops per cycle, and it works great in my living room. I hope the machine lasts. I don't see how the oils could cause damage. I'll update if I have any problems. UPDATED 8/13 essential oils work great. No problems so far. I did need to rinse it once or twice, but I love the settings. Great product.

I was all excited to get this and when it finally came, I was extremely disappointed. You can't use your own essential oils in it and unless it's right beside you, you hardly experience any of the humidifier. The LED "on/power" lights are extremely bright, so if you're use to a dark bedroom, you'll need to put something in front of it.
