This Humidifier is so much better than the fancy one by sharper image that I had and then returned;

1. It only has one tank to fill (1.6 gallon capacity). It was a pain to have to fill each of the two tanks on the Sharper Image one.

2. It actually has a humidistat control. The more expensive(way more) sharper image one did not.

3. It has a built-in ionizer. (I don't use it, but still)

4. PRICE; Other fancier looking humidifiers will cost way more and have way less features.

5. The tank has a pretty big opening to pour water in. This makes it easier to fill. I also like that it will stand up on a flat surface while refilling it.

My only gripes:

1. Just to make it clear, power consumption is 45W. I wish Optimus would have printed that in the manual or on the box instead of me having to look on the underside of the unit's base for this piece of info. I'm not complaining about how much power it takes; just make the information easier to find, Optimus.

2. The humidistat control doesn't show what relative humidity % you have it set at. You kinda have to guess or use a hygrometer to know for sure. If it had a digital readout on the Humidistat, this would be 5 stars for sure. This is not really a complaint for me, but just a way they could make the product even better.

Overall this is a good one because it has a decent sized water tank and will keep the humidity at a constant level without having to fiddle with the dials constantly. It is pretty much set it and forget it except for refilling it with water of course. A little tip: use reverse osmosis or distilled water in it and you'll probably rarely, if ever, have to clean it.

I tried the WalMart and Walgreens humidifiers but the seals didn't work and you have to buy the fiber filters which fall apart in a couplt of months. The cost was about $30 but they just weren't working well. I tried the Optimus 2 gallon and I liked the fact that there is no filter required, it is easy to fill, and it has adjustable humidity flow. It is a lot quieter too. It costs $50. I was very pleased, so I bought another one for my son.

I received this item on the 11th of February. From the moment I turned it on it worked perfectly. The unit makes litterally no noise. The output is perfect for a medium sized room. It even has an ionizer built in. The comfort since its activation in the room is 10 fold. We do not wake up with dry lips or mouth. It's easier to breathe. Overall I would highly recommend this humidifer. For the quality and price its a steal.

Honest reviews on Optimus U-31005 2.0 Gallon Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier

We live in Colorado and the air can get pretty dry at elevation during the winter months. I bought this unit for my nightstand based on the positive reviews and because the description says "Extremely quiet operation no bubbling or gurgling sounds". That's pretty important with it a couple of feet from my head all night. Well, sorry, that representation of quietness just isn't true in my experience. The fan that propels the mist is noisy and sounds like the bearings are bad. To adjust the mist output, you use the left hand white knob. Anything above two thirds setting will "boil" the water above the ultrasonic transducer. You can see it splashing about in the column that goes through the tank. On full setting, you have your own miniature shooting fountain and yes, you can definitely hear it.

If your eyesight isn't what it used to be you'll probably be unhappy with the black on dark gray control panel labeling. You'll also likely be annoyed by the white dome on top that just lays on the tank. It will probably roll off the table during refill or fall off while you're carrying the tank to the sink. I almost stepped on mine and I don't want to think about how hard it would be to replace.

I own a Bionaire BUL2612 that has been getting a lot of use in our family room (see http://www.amazon.com/Bionaire-BUL2612-Cool-Mist-Humidifier/dp/B009SLG8Q2/ref=sr_1_4) , Compared to it, the Optimus feels cheap and flimsy. The Bionaire is also extremely quiet even when operating on the highest output setting.

Amazon has great return service and unfortunately, I will be using it to send back the Optimus U-31005.

Crane Hs-3161 Drop Shape Humidifier Filter Review

I got this because I knew in advance that my tap water was 'hard'. In the drop humidifier instructions (which you don't read until you have purchased the thing) it says note: It is recommended you used filtered or distilled water. The reason is because the minerals in tap water will cause some white dust to come from the machine. And I guess over time it will cause the unit to not work properly. Anyway I got this thing and they don't list here that it should be replaced after 30-40 refills and you refill every day. That means the life of the filter is around a month. Just consider this expense if you have hard water like almost everyone does.

The filter itself is around 3x5 inches. It fits in there just fine. You have to soak it for 30 minutes before you put it in the machine.

Crane has updated the drop shape humidifier and in the process changed the required shape of this filter. Unfortunately, they didn't change the model number at all. So if you buy this filter you really have no way of knowing which one you will actually receive and worse yet if it will match your humidifier. I just bought the humdifier new and added the filter because I know my water isn't the best. Got both in the same box and proceeded to think I was going crazy because the filter just wouldn't fit. Ended up calling Crane directly who didn't want to help me because we didn't have the correct number of some sort. Finally received this response:

Dear Crane Customer,

I apologize that you are experiencing a problem with your new Drop Shape and Filter. You are not doing anything wrong! Unfortunately, against our request, some retailers are still selling/shipping an older model of filter that does not work with the newest model of Drop Shape.

I would recommend this filter if you have lots of minerals in the water or use well water

I was hesitant to purchase this filter along with my Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier (I got the green one) as I read that the humidifier filter was not the correct model; however, when I received them, the humidifier fit perfectly, so amazon must have fixed their previous error. The filter is easy to put in the slot and lasts a good long while. I'm very pleased!

Great Personal Humidifier with a lot more features than other Personal Humidifiers in the market. This humidifier is small enough to travel with or to have it in smaller spaces (my office cube..) and has lot of cool settings too. The cycle on/off feature lets you set the humidifier to switch on and off in intervals, it has 5 different output settings, a night light that can be switched on and off. The alarm function is need but not necessarily needed. When the water reservoir is empty the humidifier switches off. The display has blue backlight which switches off after a while so it will not disturb the sleep.

I would definitely recommend it to friends or even give it as gift.

Honest reviews on Crane Personal Cool Mist Humidifier

Good little humidifier on high it only lasts about 4-6 hours so you will have to fill it twice to last a whole work day (8-9 hours). Wish it had a bigger tank for this reason but seems to do the job.

Not a fan of the clock featureprobably because I use this in my office I can't see how this would be good unless its for a very small child's bedroom.

This has a very small footprint, so it won't take up a lot fo space if you keep it on your desk, like I do. The water tank is about as spillproof as it possibly could be, too, so no worries about dripping all over electronics or important paperwork. There are also LEDs that illuminate the tank in a nice, bright, cheery blue so if you've buying this for a child, it can double as a night-light (there are three light settings: clock face only, all lights, and no lights at all).

Though the tank is fairly small, it holds (just) enough for a full night's sleep plus you can set an on/off timer via the clock.

The only drawback in my opinion, is that the "directional nozzel" really _isn't_ especially directional the mist tends to just go straight up, regardless of where you point it. Still, that's an extremely minor issue.

All in all, I am quite pleased with my purchase.

I received the humidor today and looked it over. It is well made and they used quality wood that has a nice finish to it. The fit is just right and the seal is tight. It doesn't have a lock to keep out the curious but with the glass top that's ok. The instructions to care for the humidor are concise and well worded. It comes with everything you need to get started except the distilled water and that's easy enough to get at the grocery store. The case even comes with a brass plate that you can have engraved. I would recommend this humidor to anyone as an entry level to medium cigar affectionado. Great bang for the buck!

Pleasing to the eye, well constructed and real cedar are things brought to mind when I opened the shipping box.

The gold tone corners, tempered beveled glass top and external hygrometer are nice touches.

Even the wife said "Wow!"

Instructions for seasoning and care are included. Interior dimensions are 9 1/4" x 7 1/2" with a moveable cedar divider.

All in all, a good value cigar box for your back porch or den.

Best Deals for The Elegant 25-50 Cigar Glass Top Humidor

The humidor is entirely functional and really looks very good, it's much better looking in person than in the crummy Amazon photo (the cedar inside is a pinkish hue and the outside is a reddish cherry color). The glass top is nicely beveled, thick, closes with a satisfying thunk. The humidifier works well but, because the top is glass, you have to cut into your cigar storage space to place it away from the hygrometer.

Speaking of the hygrometer, it's a cheap POS and is my only real complaint. I got lucky that mine reads exactly 5 units low because the "adjustment screw" isn't a screw at all and is completely non functional. If you get one on a good day you're golden, but if you're unlucky and get a unit that is way off there really isn't anything you can do, except buy a new hygrometer.

Honest reviews on The Elegant 25-50 Cigar Glass Top Humidor

As a fairly new cigar enthusiast, I was looking for an inexpensive but effective way to store my cigars. Let's face it, they can be an expensive hobby and I didn't want to store them in a plastic bag or risk drying them out. The humidor itself is solid, well-designed, and the seal has a good, tight feel to it. You hear the whoosh of air when it closes and the brass latch prevents any accidental opening. The glass top is thick and gives you a nice view of the contents, and there is a nice, rich cedar smell from the interior. Brass fittings and dark wood look nice on your desk, too, and the box is deep enough to hold at least 50 cigars, depending on size. If you have cigarillos or smaller cigars, you could easily get more in there. Some reviewers complain about the hygrometer not working... mine seems to be fine after about a week. The seal is tight, and using the shot glass of water, it only took a couple of days to get the humidity up to about 72%. I haven't used the humidifier, to be honest... I just use one of the humidifying gel packs, and will probably stick with that rather than mess with charging up the humidifier. All in all, this is a great buy for a beginner. Serious cigar lovers would probably prefer a higher quality box, but if you're on a budget and want a good humidor, then go for it.

March 7 -I'm updating my previous review after purchasing a new hygrometer which calibrated right on the money. But after installing it and using the 'seasoning' method in the instructions, I can't get the humidity to stay above 50. I eventually even tried replacing the shot glass of water with a 'steaming' bowl of water, which got the humidity up around 70 for a while but then it slowly went back down to 50 again. So for me this is a nice looking piece of junk. Assume I just got a bad one since others have found it to be just fine.

==================Original Review

The humidor in my music room has glass top and hygrometer in front that can be read without opening the lid so I wanted to get a smaller version for my office. This looked to fit the bill perfectly and it really would except that the hygrometer is totally useless. After going through the calibrating routine it read 39 percent humidity instead of 70-75. So according to the instructions I'm just supposed to now add 35 or so to whatever the thing reads to get an accurate reading. Right, I'm going to do that. The little searching I've done thus far for a better hygrometer hasn't led to anything with rave reviews. I'd be willing to spend $20 if I thought it would be accurate. If you know where to get a good, accurate hygrometer for this thing, it could be a nice humidor just more expensive than what you had planned.

I've been using this product fr six years, my 7 year old no longer needs it but now my 5 year old does. It's amazing I'm serious.

There's been only two times that her coughs have been so bad that it doesn't help at all, this is like 2 coughs out of twenty+ in her lifetime. What we dread are the moments when the refill juice runs out. Uggggh. Regardless this product has saved my sleep for 6/7 years. Once it breaks I'm buying another one. If your steamer is not creating vapor you need to add more salt. Trust me it produces good smoke-like steam.

This little gadget I call MY LOVE. It works really well. Just make sure you follow the instructions well. This item needs up to 2 pinches of salt to produce a good amount of steam. Don't over do the salt. Then it will start spitting water out the front. Not enough salt makes little or no steam. It makes a slupping sound. Thats normal. Kind of like a coffee maker running. Its a relaxing sound I can fall asleep fast and breathe easy to at night. And get a goodnights sleep. When the water gets to low it automatically shutsoff. Thats normal too. I can sure tell the difference since it bought mine. I GOT A GOOD DEAL HERE WITH THIS PRODUCT. I LOVE IT.

I just purchased this for a rental property of mine and have been using it for around 1 week. This unit is definitely not fancy, consists of a the fan/motor unit, 2 wicks, and around 3-4 gallon tank for the water. The fan has 4 speed settings, and it has a humidity detection unit that can be set in 20% intervals from 20% to 90% (constant) run. It claims to cover around 1100 sq feet, and so far it is easily doing that. Here are the negatives:

1. Filling is a bit of a hassle. You have to lift the top off and set it aside. The cord tethers you to a small radius of the unit to do this

2. On fan speeds of 3 and 4, the unit can be quite loud. 1 and 2 are soft enough to actually be used in a bedroom or living room.

3. It uses two wicks, costing on average between 10 and 15 dollars a piece. This can be costly to change them if you have really hard water like some of my houses.

4. I had to exchange the unit one time after 1 days use. The motor unit was making a loud "buzzing noise" above the noise of the fan, like a starter in a florescent light continually being charged. The replacement one I have is working good.

I purchased because I did not have many choices in the rural area, nor did I have the budget to invest in another Honeywell HCM-6009 Quietcare, so this will suffice. I will keep this unit tucked in the corner of the dining room, away from the living area, but close enough to cover the bedrooms upstairs. For the price, this will serve it's purpose, but there are better units out there.

Although this model did a fine job of humidifying the air when it worked, it only worked for about 2 months before the motor died. Another Essick model I bought suffered the same fate, so it appears that this brand simply makes sub-par products. Spend a bit money and get something better.

This is one of the worst humidifiers I've ever purchased.

The humidistat doesn't work properly. It thinks the current room humidity is much higher than it actually is. Thus the machine never automatically runs. Before I returned it I had to use the manual setting because it would never run when set to auto.

The water reservoir is also rather strange. The filters sit completely submerged in water.

The overall design is downright idiotic. The intake (dry air) and exhaust (moist air) are set on the top of the machine right next to each other. This means that newly moistened air is drawn right back into the machine. I believe this is why the humidistat is inaccurate. It just measures the humidity of the newly moistened are and not the humidity of the room.

Like I said before I ended up returning this unit and consequently found a much better unit that I am 100% satisfied with.

Botton lineIf you want a humidifier with a humidistat this unit is NOT for you. The humidistat doesn't work.

This item isn't as "high tech" or "high style" as others on the market; but it

consistently performs to get the job done. (It's also not as "high priced").

It's easy to fill...quiet...and tends to disappear into its surroundings.

Filters do need replacing...but Amazon has them at reasonable cost and quick delivery.

I have three of these units around our home one in a bedroom, and two in a large living room.

Two smaller units are easier than a large one, we've found, for both filling and flexible placement.

Purched this to replace a good quality sonic humidifer which did not provide enough humidity to avoid shocking my dog. Plugged this one in, filled it up and set fan at lowest speed, no more shocks! Additionally, i prefer to fill a watering can and carry to humidifier and dump than upending a tank and carrying it to the sink, filling up, then carrying leaking tank across my room and replacing it on the unit.

Positives: works well, dont have to constantly refill 2x daily as ultrasonic required

Negatives: noisey on fan speeds above 1 or 2

We took the family on vacation to Disney World on our first family vacation. There were 10 of us, three families. The only time available for everyone was July so we went for it. Knowing it would be super hot I decided to look for some type of fans to help everyone stay cool. This fan was the ticket. What a fanastic product right price compared to other sites. Everyone loved them when they got them after we arrived. Lots of people asking where did we get our misting fans. They took several drops and all 10 kept working. Nice clip so you don't have to hold them constantly. If your looking for a compact misting fan that packs well this one is recommended.
