Buy Honeywell HCM-6011i QuietCare 11-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air

Customer Ratings:

I bought this unit in mid-november for my 2 bedroom apartment. Overall it does a good job of maintaining a comfortable level of humidity typically around 45-50%. However the unit is constantly ON. It never cycles and this is with the humidistat set at just off of it's lowest setting and the fan speed on the mid setting which will give you tolerable noise level. What has caused me concern is how quickly the filter has gotten mouldy and that the air out of the unit smells like musty. I have changed the the Protec cartridge as recommended every 30 days and cleaned the filter several times per the instructions in the manual. I phoned the manufacturer (Kaz not Honeywell) and they say the filter will only last 1 to 3 months and that it needs to be cleaned every week. I pointed out that no where in the manual does it state that frequent a cleaning period nor such a short filter life and that in-fact it states that the filter should last one season. She said sorry and that there is nothing they can or will do other that tell you where you can get a new filter for $11.

This humidifier performs as advertised; it's very quiet and is adequate for several rooms to a moderately sized house. The dual water tanks are easy to carry and fill, and the design looks better (at least to me) than a big, square box with fake wood grain. The base and tanks are very easy to clean compared to other units.

There are a couple of flaws. The water tanks look good, but would be easier to fill if they could stand for filling. The curved shape of the top means that they need to be propped up in some way. The screw tops that seal the tanks need to be tightened securely. Someone with weak hands may need help or a tool or risk leakage.

All in all, this is a good humidifier.

The only problem is a tendancy of the filter to become moldy, but this is easily remedied by adding 1/16 Cup or so of ammonia to each of 2 reservoirs that you fill with water. This will ward off the mold. Buy extra filters. This machine is very quiet relative to the amount of humidity that it puts out (hence the filter enclosure is correspondingly more humid, and tends toward mold more easily).

Honest reviews on Honeywell HCM-6011i QuietCare 11-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air

Classic example of function following form. The designers were compelled to make this humidifier rotund and swoopy, but in the process made the water chambers impossible to set flat in a sink for filling. There is no way to balance one of these, aside from holding it upright with one hand while running your faucet with the other. Then it's a delicate balancing act to turn off the faucet while holding multi-gallons of water. Unless you have three hands, it takes practice to do it without spilling, and this design defect could have been avoided. Do yourself a favor and buy extra filters and a humidifier water treatment solution at the same time as you buy this humidifier. Don't be deceived by the Honeywell brand name. It's made by Kaz, like many other brands of humidifiers. BTW: it IS noisier than some humidifiers, but not excessively so given the area this machine can humidify.

White Square Plastic Serving Tray 12-inch Review

Customer Ratings:

I needed a small tray to place beneath the Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier. I keep the humidifier on a small but tall set of drawers and was worried about damaging the furniture if it should leak or when changing the well. This tray fits it perfectly. It is very white, which actually makes the white parts of the humidifier seem a little yellowed.

So for me it was very good, however, for other uses it might not be. The tray is very thin, and would not be able to carry much weight. I would certainly not use the tray to pick up my humidifier. It would be good for say one plate of food and a small beverage, but I would not try to put something like the dinner ham on it. It would probably crack in half. I would not put four or more beverages on it for the same reason. Two, maybe three are ok.

The other problem is that it looks like some colored plastic got mixed in with the white. There area a few colored streaks mixed into the plastic, not on the surface so they can't be buffed out. I have the tray placed rather high, so you can't see the top surface, but if using as a decorative piece on furniture below eye level, the streaks would be noticeable.

The packaging wasn't very good either. It was loose in a box with another item I ordered. No covering, product box or shrink wrap, and not flat. Mine arrived ok, but I could see it getting broken in transport very easily.

In general, it is cheaply made. I would expect to see this in a bargain store for about 2-3 dollars. I paid more, but for me it fit the specific needs I had (12 inches, no patterns, square, white), so that was ok. In my opinion, if you want a tray to transport items or for nice decoration, you are better off looking around more.

I'm not trying to be lame, but this is a replacement filter (the exact type that came with the SU-4010) -I cannot really get too excited over a water filter. I have no measurement equipment to even know if filters make a difference, but I'm going to assume they do. This fits and works perfectly with the SU-4010, which if you want an awesomely awesome humidifier I don't think you could do better. The SU-4010 is essentially silent and easily gets even larger rooms up to 80+% humidiy if needed. I have extreme excema, I keep the unit on 24/7 on its lowest output setting -keeps the room or rooms at about 65-70% humidity and it has no problem keeping up. Go buy the SU-4010, then order a few of these filter to have on hand. I do think they should have them in different colours...then I might be more excited by their arrival. Neon purple anyone?

Just mentioning that I uploaded a picture showing the actual shape of the filter I received, which differs from the shape shown in the default product image. The filter is actually round, which matches the shape of the original filter that came with this humidifier. I don't know if the hexagonal filter currently shown for this product will fit in this unit, but I have my doubts considering the filter on this model is designed to fit inside the tank and the opening in the tank is also round... but it seems the discrepancy might be moot if all others who purchased this filter also received round filters.

BTW, I gave it 4 of 5 stars only because, although I feel the humidifier works as I expect it to, I feel it's over-priced and I'd much prefer that the filter be redesigned to reduce waste, perhaps by making the plastic casing reusable.

I have lived in Chicago for many years, then moved to Colorado 28 yrs. ago. Went from humidity to ZERO humidity. Lots of sinus and resp. problems from the dryness. Ran humidifiers here but too much white dust if ultrasonic. I tried the distilled water which was great and cut down on the dust, but it was really expensive even at $1/bottle if you are using it 4 times a day etc. So bought this filter and I can use tap water right from the sink and no white dust. GREAT!! Our water is so hard here, the humidifiers are put to the test. But I am happy with this. I also use those small mineral balls you throw inside the tank to keep the algae and mold from forming. Every morning, after running all night, I open everything up, air dry it and let it sit open till night time for more humidity. Then clean everything once a week at least with antibacterial soap and weak bleach.

Review of Salt Therpy Ultrasonic Salinizer For Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Customer Ratings:

Short version:

The Saltair Domo is a scaled-down ultrasonic humidifier with a nearly non-existent output. The amount of salt they recommend you put in is minuscule and would hardly make a difference if you were directly nebulizing it, and is completely useless as a tool for altering the ambient air. It seems to be an attempt to cash in on the popularity of halotherapy.

Long version:

I bought this item hoping that we could use it to simulate some ocean air in our bedroom for our 6-month old with cystic fibrosis. Unfortunately, my opinion on this item is that it fails miserably at what it purports to do, which is to place salt ions into the air. I base my opinion not on experimental results, but logic and common sense, some basic biology, and my own experience.

One of the first things I noticed was the manual's recommended maximum amount of salt for the 2.5 cups (0.6L) maximum tank capacity: 1/4 teaspoon.

I'm not a biologist, but I have been teaching myself biology through text book and MIT OCW courses, and was interested in how this ratio of salt to water compares to isotonic saline, hypertonic saline, and ocean water. The percentages given when discussing saline are w/v measures. Normal saline is about 0.9%. Hypertonic saline can be found varying concentrations, from 3, to 5, to 7 and 9%. Sea water varies, but on average is said to be around 3.5%. For 1/4tsp of salt in 2c of water, which is more salt per volume than the manual recommends, would be 0.3%. Normal saline is close to the same concentration of NaCl as your blood, so the saline they have you create could be considered to be hypotonic, not hypertonic, relative to normal saline.

Studies have been conducted to see if hypertonic saline (7%) could help people with CF. It was found that normal saline (0.9%) did not significantly impact on the number of exacerbation in patients. It was found to be ineffective. It was only the hypertonic saline that made a difference, specifically, 7%. Spending time at the beach has been shown to have benefit for people with CF. Sea water is also hypertonic, 3.5%.

The expected response to this would be that the device is intended to be run over many days. Surely that can make up for the low concentration of salt. This may be true, if the device actually had a decent airflow. It has such a low airflow that you cannot feel it with your hand unless it is within an inch of the air outlet. The manual clearly states that the device should be empty after 8-9 nights of use. Let's say a typical night is 7 hours, so 9 nights would equal 63 hours to dispense 1/4 teaspoon of salt. You don't have to be a scientist to realize that this is simply a joke.

And to go even further, you must assume that very little of this air will actually enter the lungs of your sick child. Here in the south, during the summer, the air conditioner is constantly running, pulling air out of the room, replenishing it with filtered air. I'm convinced that, given the low airflow of the device, there was essentially 0 salt ions getting into my lungs when I tested it 1 ft away from my face over a period of two nights. It simply is not enough to overcome other sources of airflow that are present in a typical middle-class household here in the southern United States. The only way to overcome ambient airflows is for the device to pump the air high and far enough so that it could be directed to someone.

One very troubling aspect of this product was the fact that the manual lacks any mention of proper cleaning of the device to prevent bacterial and other microscopic organism growth. They do mention cleaning it, but it's to ensure proper operation. It leaves you with the impression that you don't have to worry about bacteria with this device. In fact, the nice lady who sold it o me was under the impression that you didn't have to worry about bacteria in it because salt is anti-bacterial.

Another issue was the manual's lack of recognition of white dust as a problem. This product is essentially an extremely low airflow ultrasonic humidifier. One of the risks associated with using ultrasonic humidifiers is that they will place whatever happens to be in your solution into the air, be it bacteria, minerals, etc. Some of that stuff will settle on your furniture, floor, etc. The manual doesn't mention any of this. In fact, the manual specifically tells you to use tap water, which is probably the worst thing to use if you are breathing in the contents of the solution. More importantly than impurities and white dust, bacteria that may grown in the water will also be projected into the air. This is why some ultrasonic humidifiers come with some type of silver stick, or other type of anti-bacterial agent. I think the omission of any warnings of these two problems is telling. Perhaps there is no risk of these 2 problems because the air from the device is not really getting into your lungs. It's seeping out onto your floor, and being swept out into your A/C filter, or pushed down into your carpet by your fan.

Absolutely useless item! Air flow is so small that even in a small room you have no effect.

Two times salt managed to build up on the motor and stop in from spinning! look for a different product, and READ reviews! Good shopping :)

Buy Essick Air E35 000 2-Speed Tabletop Humidifier, White

Customer Ratings:

The humidifer arrived in good shape, looked good, and fit nicely in front of my (unused) fireplace. I liked the idea of being able to bring water to the unit and to refill from the top, but I agree with another reviewer that the top is difficult to remove while keeping the filter in place and hard to reassemble if the filter has moved out of place. Upon turning on, I found that low speed did not work at all; unit would run only on high speed. Unfortunately the unit is noisy at high speed. I also found the although I could hear clicking at a low and high range when I turned the humidity knob, the unit would only turn on when I manually moved the knob to that high range setting. The only way the unit would turn off was when I turned off the fan switch. If I turned the humidity knob to a point below the high range setting, it would never turn on by itself, even though the humidity in the room was changing. I returned the unit and requested a refund.

The humidifier arrived in good condition, and works well, but is badly designed. When I take the top off to refill it, the filter comes partway out with the top leaving me to struggle to detach it with one hand while holding the top awkwardly with the other. Trying to put the top back on is also difficult as the filter has to fit into a slot on the cover. All in all, awkward.

Chose this Essex based on my experience with the larger 3-gal model. It has one filter, same size as my larger with two, so that was a convenience.

I ordered this humidifier as I had several replacement wicks that I wanted to use. I don't think this humidifier is meant for shipping. The first time I received it was completely broken and wouldn't even work. I think the motor is too heavy and became detached from the plastic that surrounds it. Amazon was great about replacing immediately, but it was still partially broken when I received. Was in working order, but I would not recommend the product based on it's inability to be shipped without being damaged.

Discount Vicks V1900N Waterless Vaporizer

This waterless vaporizor is amazing. I have always had problems with congestion and it used to drive my mom nuts when I'd run the vaporizor all night only to wake up to sweaty walls. Any dust in the air would then run down the walls and leave dirty streaks. All that humidity also ecnouraged mold growth which just made it even harder to breathe.

If you don't want to wreck the paint-job in your children's rooms or if you have mold allergies, you simply have to try this waterless vaporizer and the pads. Yes, the pads are single use, but they do last all night. They have that same soothing, theraputic Vicks aroma you've always known.

The less than glowing reviews below are comparing apples and oranges. If you need steam, then get a personal steam inhalor to use. The days when people thought it was healthy to steam up a room over and over again are long gone. Keeping the humidity level that high for so many hours promotes the growth of mold and other mirco-organisms. In addition, keeping a room that wet night after night can damage your bedding and draperies and leave water droplet stains on your matte finish walls. Steam is great, but there are better ways to use it than an old fashioned vaporizer. Vicks now makes some great personal Steam gadgets as well.

The waterless Vaporizer gives you the benefit of the Vicks vapors that consumers have relied on for years. A unique blend of Eucaplyptus, Menthol, Camphor and other oils, it's more potent than most generics or competing brands. If your child won't let you rub vapo Rub on their chest, this is a great way to give them the same effect. Of course, I'm an adult and I still depend upon this product to help with my terrible snius headaches.

Great product! Wish they had thought of it years earlier.

I purchased this vaporizer over a year ago and it's AMAZING! Not only has it been helpful when my daughter (now 3) has been congested but my husband and I also have felt relief from cold symptoms as well. The only down side (in my opinion) is that the lid that covers the vaporizer pad is a little flimsy and broke when my daughter got a hold of it. Also, best to place it where the little ones can't reach it....the vapors leave a residue on the lid of the unit and if you get them on your hands and then touch your eyes, nose or face in general it can be quite uncomfortable....my daughter and I have both done this (unintentionally, of course). But all in all, if using all the appropriate safety measures and with proper handling this is a GREAT value for your money. The vaporizer pads are easily found at local drugstores and it's so compact that when it's not in use I can store it in a dresser drawer (I store mine in a zip-lock bag to make sure none of the vapors touch anything else). The unit emmits enough light to count as a nightlight in my daughters room....which I love, so I can monitor her more closely while she's sick.....I usually go in her room and check on her several times a night when she's ill. I would have to say, however, that the light is a little bright for my husbands preference....he prefers to sleep in darkness. But the unit is completely silent and has 3 different "strength" settings so you can get a mild to strong vapor depending on your need and preference. I love this unit and will likely buy a second when our new baby arrives....just in case they're ever both sick at the same time.

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.

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.
