Discount Aprilaire Model 500m Whole-house Bypass Humidifier with Manual

Customer Ratings:

I bought this to replace an older unit that held water in a tray. This unit supplies fresh water each time it is used. My 2400 sq foot house is a constant 40% humidity and feels much better. Installation was fairly easy. Most people will need to buy the relay to sense when the fan motor comes on. This allows the 24 volt converter to remain on instead of cycling on and off each time the furnace fan motor comes on.

A little taller than the original Kaz filter, but it can be cut to fit. I have yet to find a company that can ship this 1-2 oz item for less than $5.

The filters were just a little different than what I had been previously been able to buy from the store. This filter is no longer available retail in my area. The filter is all in one piece and fits pefectly and funcions perfectly. I can continue to use my QUIET Kaz Humidifier rather than replace it with a costlier, noisier model with costlier filters.WF1 Kaz Humidifier Replacement Filter

The filters I received are certainly not up to the Kaz quality I am used to. These are generic replacement filters (somewhat similar to the Kaz brand) but not as dense. Of course the advertisment did not say they were generic! It says,"WF1 Kaz Replacement Filter" which is what I am used to buying except those were made by Kaz. So,of course I didn't get what I thought I was going to get. Honesty in advertising is a lost art! I'm tired of being a patsy for e-sales gimicks!

Honest reviews on WF1 Kaz Humidifier Wick Filter

I was surprised to find that this not a genuine Kaz wick, though it is listed as aftermarket in the product description. The actual manufacturer is BestAir, and the box indicates it fits KAZ models 3000, 3300 and 3400 but not the EV710 that I have. The quality seems satisfactory it is steel-reinforced which I don't remember the original being.

It may not need to be cut down to size as mentioned in at least one other review.

I read another review before purchasing this item and agree. With it being advertised as WF1 Kaz Humidifier Filter, one would expect the original design which it isn't. However, it does function just as well and the price is much less that the name brand. The shipping speed was qucik. I will purchase this item again and recommend it to others.

Discount BWF100 Bionaire Humidifier Wick Filter (3 Pack)

Customer Ratings:

{NOTE: the Holmes HWF100 & Bionaire BWF100 are interchangeable}

I bought a bionaire humidifier that uses 2 of these wicks. They're a necessary evil, because the humidifer wont work without them.

My humidifier (a Bionaire BCM645) is basically a glorified self-refilling water bowl, with a pair of wicks dangling down into the water in the lower backside of the unit ... the wicks absorb water upwards, and the humidifier (basically a vertical tube with an exhause fan up up equipped with a humidistat) draws airflow in crosswise through the body of the wicks down below in order to blow humidified air out the top ... it's a simple design that sorta works.

The problem is that mineral deposits build up in these glorified (and overpriced) sponges, and they lose their ability to wick water upwards fast enough to keep up with the rate of evaporation ... the result is that they become dried out and crusty (and slowly stained with mildew), and only stay wet on the part that's dipped in the water.

Now, here's the annoying part, and why I only gave this product 3 of 5 stars ... they're needlessly fragile by design. The manufacturer WANTS you to keep reguloarly buying replacement sponges, just like inkjet printer manufacturers want to keep selling you overpriced ink cartridges. Even though I have fairly soft water, and use a carbon block filter, these wicks only seem to last me about 2 weeks per pair, by default, before they lose their ability to absorb/wick moisture and/or fall apart. Perhaps someday someone will make longer-lasting reuseable cloth replacement filters, but as of this writing, there dont appear to be any available ... because it's against the manufacturer's fiscal interests to make and sell such.

You can save money 2 ways:

1) SHOP AROUND: you can save as much as 50% by shopping around for the cheapest supplier, and scoffing at any implied manufacturer product loyalty. How ? The replacement filters for Holmes (HWF100) and Bionaire (BWF100) are functionally identical and interchangeable. They come 6 to a package (3 pairs).

2) RINSING: These wicks are rather fragile resist the urge to wring them out when rinsing them, or you'll damage them. Instead, fill a sink with body-temperature water, let them soak for 5-10 mins (to let the deposits soften & par-dissolve), then gently press them flat (while submerged) a few times. Then drain them (dont wring them) and reinstall. That should extend their performance by another week or so. Each subsequent rinse will yeild only half the benefit though. At best, you'll be able to double their lifespan.

Bottom line: I dont really recommend these wicks ... but if your humidifier requires them, there isnt much choice. However, if you use the tips I listed above, you can save up to half the cost, and make them last as much as twice as long.

I did not buy this item. But I did want those who use Bionaire humidifiers to know that there are new filters available.

Holmes replacement filter HWF100 can be used in place of this item and is available from several sellers (at a lower price than this used item) including Amazon which currently offers free shipping.

I ordered these filters for my humidifier because last time I bought the knock-off brand filters and they only lasted a very short period of time. My humidifier takes two of these filters at once... the first thing that disappointed me was receiving 3 filters... I for some reason assumed this listing meant you receive a 3-pack as in "3 replacements worth"... but I was wrong, you actually get 3 filters when you buy this. For me, this is dumb, because my humidifier takes two of them, so I'm left with an extra filter... now I have to buy another 3-pack to make it even.

The other thing that is a little weird is that this seller "cd_cellar4" doesn't include the original packaging when they ship these filters, you just get 3 filters stuck in an envelope, so there's no definitive way to be sure you received true Bionaire-brand filters, and not another knock-off brand. And, the postage they paid to ship the filters is clearly marked as $1.90 on the package, even though you get charged $4.49.

Honest reviews on BWF100 Bionaire Humidifier Wick Filter (3 Pack)

I've had an impossible time finding replacement filters for my humidifier, and this was another failed attempt. The filters that I received do not look like the one that is pictured the ones I received are clearly a cheaper version and do not have the little round blue tab that is meant to lock the filter into the humidifier. They don't quite fit into my humidifier I shoved them down in there to make it work because I didn't want to mess with returning them. I won't buy these filters again and won't buy another Bionaire humidifier (why make a product if you're not also going to make replacement filters for it????)

My Bionaire humidifier is not new. I've been happy with it for about 3 years. But once I ran through the filters that came with it, I found I had trouble getting replacements. For awhile I could buy them at a local store, and then when they stopped carrying them I tried the internet. I bought some through Bionaire, but that was a hassle. So I was very happy to find that I could buy them through and I've had no problems since except maybe that they appear to be 'off brand' rather than Bionaire filters.

GE ADER30LP White Dehumidifier Review

Customer Ratings:

This is the first review I've entered for items not purchased from Amazon simply because I think it is it important that people know about this item. Purchased this item 05.05.2011 and as of 05.21.2011 it has stopped pulling moisture from the air. While it did work (continuously) for about 2 weeks it pulled water constantly, filling the bucket almost every 20 hours. The only thing I did notice while it did pull moisture it never lowered the humidity by more than 20 degrees (85% to 65%). This seems alot but when it never reached even 50% humidity it would just maintain a steady 65% despite emptying the bucket even before it was full. It was in a closed basement, no more than 250 square feet. Be warned when buying this product.

Pros:

Pulls moisture.

LCD display and buttons worked 100%

Warned when bucket was removed and filter needed cleaning.

Cons:

Quite loud. Like an electric lawnmower up close.

Inefficient couldn't get to a lower humidity.

Short lifespan when used continuously.

This Dehumidifier, while I didn't purchase it at Amazon, I too feel I have to write a bad review. I was using the continuous drain feature with a hose from the side. When I set it up last week, the Continuous light on the top was illuminated on the top and the dehumidifier seemed to be working fine. When I next checked on it, the full bucket light was illuminated and it hadn't drained through the hose, the bucket was indeed full. GE Customer support was no help. I am returning this after spending many hours trying to get it to drain through the hose.

Just purchased this unit for our beach condo. It's been a really humid summer and I noticed a moldy odor that was not there previously. I had a rough start looking for dehumidifiers and purchased this one after returning 2 other units both different brands. This first one I bought leaked water from the catch bucket a Haier with 45 pt capacity. But is totally useless if it puts water back into the room/floor. When I returned it, I opened other boxes of the same type and they all have a hole in the catch bucket.....so I decided to try my luck at another store where I got glowing recommendations from the dept mgr to purchase the LG. The LG smelled like burned rubber straight out of the box and the acrid and pungent smell was worse than the moldy smell I was trying to eliminate. If I had read the reviews on the LG on line, I would have never bought it....the burned rubber smell was mentioned more than once so idk if its a manufacturing issue or someone with a house fire returned it....... I bought this GE also without reading reviews and hoped for the best.......I have not had any problems and am really happy with it, the humidity is reduced to the settings we select, the air feels so much better, it turns itself off when it has reached the proper setting and then back on when the humidity increases. I like the 3 speed fan so it can be turned down if we are watching tv since this is in a living/dining room area. None of the issues mentioned in other reviews. This GE has only been plugged in for 2 days but its working great. No problems emptying the bucket no spills as long as you wait a few minutes to empty once the machine alerts you to a full bucket. I don't know if it will stop working in a month or two due to the constant use, but so far it's better than the other 2 that I tried. I could probably use a larger dehumidifier since it is filling up on a daily basis....so I may move this to another area and buy a larger one for the living room area.

Honest reviews on GE ADER30LP White Dehumidifier

I purchased this unit a week ago and it seems to be working well. I personally haven't had any issues with it like many of the other posters have. This unit replaced a 50Qt model that came with the house. It was still running but it wasn't pulling water anymore. I tried to find another 50 Qt model but apparently they are shipped where they are most needed which seems to be Colorado and the south east due to hurricane season. Our basement isn't damp but like all closed basements it traps humidity. It worked quick and easy right out of the box. I use a hose to keep mine drained. Not here, but other reviews, people had a hard time getting the hose attached. If you don't take the bucket out I could see how it would be hard, but it's simple and was easier to attach than my old unit where you had to push a plastic tube in just right. One thing, it has to be a narrow hose attachment, It can't be one of the plastic hose attachments with the large grips.

In 4 hours it dropped my basement humidity from 65% yo 55% and there is a constant trickle of water down the drain. The 3 fan speeds are nice and it is quieter than my old unit. It doesn't have the annoying dehumidifier sound when the compressor kicks on. It sounds like there is a small utility fan in the room when it's on medium and slightly louder on high. You can always turn it to low or off when you are in the room and high during the night. I have left it on high in another room of our partially finished basement and it doesn't bother me. I can't hear it over my computer honestly. The Display isn't annoyingly bright like so many electronics and it shows the current humidity in the room in 5% increments and you can adjust it to whatever you want. You can also turn it on constantly for 2 to 4 hours or continuous. It has an indicator telling you to clean your filter which I tend to never think about. All in all I'm Happy with it so far.

I can see the issues if you are using a bucket since it doesn't have a good grip until you pull it out enough to reach the handle.

It is a smaller unit than I was looking for so hopefully it is powerful enough to keep the humidity down without burning itself out. I'll post back if anything happens.

The GE Dehumidifier works great in my RV. It collects about a gallon of water before turning off in 24 hours; but I usually empty it before it fills up. It has been trouble free for months now; working good. It makes a big difference removing excess moisture. It is much more comfortable inside the RV as a result of using this dehumidifier. It also cleans the air. The air filter collects dust well and is easy to remove and clean by tapping it on something. I leave it on all the time.

Best Unilution EcoGecko Little Squirt Air Deodorizer Humidifier Deals

Customer Ratings:

So I am totally sold on this product. It does exactly as described. Just add the water, 1 DROP!!!!! of oil, and turn it on. It's not really a purifier, but it's obvious that it pulls stuff out of the air because the water looks pretty gross after a day of use. So is it as effective as an ionizer? No, it's just a really effective way of scenting a room and cleaning out some of the junk out of the air.

I like this item, however since it is so small the water runs out fast. I love how it lights up and gives off a scent when you put the drops in it, but I dislike how fast it runs out.

Honest reviews on Unilution EcoGecko Little Squirt Air Deodorizer Humidifier

Compared to filter-using air purifiers, this product is a steal. I keep it next to my bed and there is a noticable difference in air quality. The LED light can't be turned off, so I had to do a little frontier medicine and remove the LED entirely. The loss of the LED doesn't affect the air purificer function whatsoever though.

The "whooshing" sound it makes is relaxing, but unless you use purified water, the funnel and bowel will be discolored and acquire a grainy texture from the minerals in the water. It works great even with the discoloration, so I don't really bother using purified water myself, but it's something to keep in mind. You have to clean and refill the bowl every 2-3 days if you leave it on 24-7. It's powered by USB, so if you want to plug it into a wall you'll have to get a AC/USB adapter because one isn't included.

I knew it was small and made from plastic but didn't realize it only had a USB plug. Luckily my cable box had one I could use. Wasn't able to put it where I wanted but at least I can use it. I fill it with water every other day. So far the tap water has worked fine. When I add water I also add the scent. I use my own. The one sent with the product was cinamon ad I'm not a fan of that scent. As I said, it works, does the job I purchased it for but should go for less than what it sold for. Not worth paying $25+ s & H. I would recommend this product if it was a lower price, like $10-$15.
