I was referred to Boveda by a trusted cigar enthusiast who swore by them. I was excited to try them out in my three rack home humidor. After being patient for several days the humidity level dropped significantly, however on the positive has held steady, just not at the expected range based on the product specs. I enjoy the premise of the product however it just isnt for me and my cabinet. I may not purchase these again unless someone can prove me its a worthy year round investment.

Boveda is a very reliable source of keeping a perfect environment in your humidor . I have been using them for years. Just toss them in and let them do the work.

Honest reviews on 2-Pack: Boveda Humidifier 69%

I was a little disapointed with these when I got them. I thought they would finally cure my humidor of me having to baby sit it with distilled water and sponges. I got the 68% ones and pulled everything except them out. The humidor dropped to 64%. I finally did a little more reserach on them and it says with a wood humidor you can lose 1-4%, thus explaining the 64%.Next order will be the 75% and then see if they last 2 months as the mfg says.

This item is convenient and simple to use. Just place in humidor and you are good for months. I have a travel bag that I use the other one in. Keeps cigars from drying out like it is intended to do.

I've tried a lot of types of humidifiers for my 30 ct, $40 wooden cigar box. This open stone, low cost, device seems to hold my % humidity between 65-70 percent more reliably than other more expensive items I've tried.

Here's Why:

My low cost humidor was Very difficult to season. And being able to oversaturate this stone helped maintain the humidity level. The bags and pillows just wouldn't keep up.

If I only use distilled water this remains usable for months, and months.

I found that even after seasoning the box, the pouches and pillows couldn't keep up with how often I open the lid (up to twice a day). I did have success with pillows and pouches when I left the lid down for at least a week at a time.

I like these because I can vary the water amount to compensate for differences in humidity levels easily and quickly. You can't throw it in an forget it, but it doesn't cost a fortune either.

I bought a few of these for 2 humidors I keep only partially stocked. My joe-brand ones had quit helping out long ago and you can really tell the difference when your humidifiers are putting out the right amount of water. The junky ones these replaced wouldn't hold 1/2 the water, so now I'm doing a lot less maintenance and the humidity is right where it should be.

works as advertised in my cigarette humidor. easy to use, easy to mount, does the job. What more could you want?

These work well and are priced right. Be careful not to overfill and if you are using vertically on the side of your humidor, make sure to hold vertically over a sink after filling to make sure that excess liquid has soaked in and does not run out. You don't want to warp your humidor.

I bought this to add additional humidification to my Humidor. The one that came with it was not cutting it. Once I added this one, I was getting the proper Humidity. I recommend this.

Customer Ratings:

Normally these types of humidors are awful because most humidification devices over humidify causing mold, but if you use a self regulating humidification device then these potentially become one of the best humidors around. I recommend a lower percent Humidipak, 65% is good because it's a sealed container. Humidipaks normally last a few weeks in a normal humidor, but in a sealed container like this they can last months and months keeping perfect humidity.

I have used this type of Acrylic Humidor for traveling for over 15 years.

They hold many cigars and can endure violent mistreatment at the hands of TSA and baggage handlers.

These work very well, but ONLY if you follow the advice of this and the other reviews:

1) Use a Boveda Humidipak for humidity regulation. This humidor is completely airtight. Without bidirectional humidification, your sticks will be either too wet or too dry. In desert conditions (Vegas) I supplement the humidification with a stick-shaped oasis.

2) Use packing when traveling. A simple washcloth or rag will do, but I prefer to pack some loose tobacco leaves in the top to prevent the sticks from shaking about. Several cigar manufacturers (Drew, Kristoff, etc) use loose tobacco for packing in their boxes, you can ask your tobacconist for some.

This specific humidor was purchased for a young Army sergeant on his fourth tour, this time in Afghanistan.

The solder, humidor and a few cigars returned unscathed, despite very hostile conditions for all.

These work great. Simple, easy to use, keeps my cigars very moist and fresh. Now, if there was only a way to "dress it up" and properly display it.

This product is just not good. Do yourself a favor and go talk to your local tobacconist. Perhaps you will be able to avoid cracking your first batch of cigars and cover your second batch in mold.

Review of Kids Line Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

Check the water tank size on the description and compare b4 u buy. I didn't expect it to be this small. Even the cord is extra short; about 3 feet. I think you'll be disappointed if you live in a dry climate and plan to use this a lot. Water level indicator is also a tiny window and hard to see.

The picture is misleading and obviously photo-manipulated because it shows the 3 mists all going up. Real product has one nozzle pointing up and back, and two on the sides pointing parallel to the floor. So if you have anything directly adjacent to it, it will become soaked.

I also have the Crane "Drop"-shape humidifier; much bigger tank and cute for kid's room as well.

This was not a good product. It leaked all over. The water leaked out of the side and eventually flooded the stand we placed it on. Tried a few different places to place it and still had the same problem. Looks better than it works.

We just received this today (12/03/2011) as a Baby Registry gift from our friends. This cool mist humidifier is very cute and it's made with very good material, we just love it. Here's how we got it to work, super easy. My wife just opened the package, filled up the water tank, put it back, plugged in the power, and turned it on, that's it. The cool mist then just started to come out on top of the monkey's head and both of his ears.

I was a little worry about this Kids Line Humidifier before because I read reviews from another web site stating that this model leaks water, but there is no water leaking at all, it works perfectly and safely. I bought a Crane Humidifier a month ago, and we had to return it because it didn't work. The major differences between the Kids Line Humidifier and Crane Humidifier is that the way the water tank is designed. After we filled water inside the tank, we have to turn the water tank upside down in order to put it back. Here lies the huge problem with the Crane models, the water from inside would come pouring out onto the bottom part of the humidifier, which wets everything under it. The Kids Line Humidifier doesn't have this problem, the water tank doesn't leak water when it's turned upside down.

Honest reviews on Kids Line Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

I was hesitant initially to purchase this item based on the mixed reviews but after buying it I'm so happy I did. I love this humidifier! I've used it daily since 12/1/12. Some highlights:

PRO's

1. It fits the jungle theme perfectly in my newborn's bedroom and the humidifier works great. So far I've only used this in my living room which is approximately 500 600 sq ft. It gets refilled 2-3 x's to keep my humidity between 35% 40% ( 20% without use) will vary depending on room size and desired humidity level.

2. No filters! I have hard water so I have followed the instructions to soak in vinegar (left for 1 hr instead of 20 min bc I got sidetracked). Only soaking 1x per week rather than daily; haven't noticed any effect. Note: I considered using bleach but would imagine this would deteriorate the water seal. Just follow the provided instructions to use vinegar!! See note for product in Con #1 if you're concerned with bacteria.

3. The 360 degree mist. Comes out of each ear and the top of the monkey's head. Have not had leaks like other reviewers -I have had it sitting on a cheap, 12-in round pan just to ensure no damage to the wood stand it was on.

CON's:

1) Can't reach inside of water tub to scrub out. I would use my Holmes Humidifier Bacteriostat solution but I don't think it's necessary since the water doesn't sit for an extended period.

2) Manual functions no digital display or timer. NOT a big deal. I decided to buy the Acu-Rite Home Comfort Monitor from Amazon and love it! Monitors the humidity level accurately and saved me money not having to spend more for a built in humidistat.

One additional note: My allergist informed me that dust mites cannot survive above 40% humidity (I am highly allergic). Keep this in mind when humidifying the intended space for your child. My humidistat ensures that I stay within a comfortable 30-40% level.

The con's had no impact for me, therefore, I gave this adorable monkey a 5 star review. If anything changes, I will come back to provide an update.

I just got this home and I opened the instruction manual. Here is what it says verbatim:

"Place the humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, water resistant, level surface at least 5 inches away from walls, heat sources, and ledges

DO NOT place on carpet, towel or fabrics. The fan vent is located on the bottom of the water basin. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.

DO NOT place the humidifier on a wooden surface or near furniture that can be damaged by moisture.

(Then underneath in bold)

Do not place the humidifier on top of a towel or a carpeted surface."

So let me get this straight... I can't put in on carpet, and I can't put it on wood, and I can't put it on metal, so where the heck am I supposed to put it??!?! I bought it for my baby's room, which is hardwood floors with a rug in the middle of the room... so where can I put it? Does this company think that all rooms are made of tile? I really don't get the design of the this product... it's completely impractical to be used in any bedroom or family room, which is where most humidifiers are used.

I would just ignore the manual, but I don't want the thing to break in 3 weeks. Ugh... back to the old drawing board I suppose.

This is by far the best humidifier I've ever had. Living in a cold weather climate (MA), I need the humidity to counteract the effects of dry air. Otherwise, I get nose bleeds all the time. I took a chance when buying it as there were no reviews for me to read. It is pretty much as advertised. The 1.6 gallon reservoir has an easy-to-pick-up handle for refilling. The cap is a bit difficult to unscrew, so I put a lubricant on the threads to grease it up which helps. It does shut off automatically when dry/empty. It's very quiet and does not leak. I put it next to my bed and it doesn't disturb my sleep at all. It's very easy to clean. Use a little white vinegar once a week. Just put the ceramic nano-silver filter in cup of white vinegar for ten minutes and use a few drops of vinegar to clean the sensor. No need to buy new filters, cartridges, or mineralization pads. I have noticed a little white dust in the room, but far less than the Bionaire ultrasonic humidifier I used to have. The Hygrostat sensor indicates the humidity level. Not sure how accurate it is though. Mist output can be regulated: low, medium, and high. There is a button to produce negative ions. I use it, but don't really know if it makes any difference in the quality of the air. I have yet to try the warm air mist, so I can't comment on that. And lastly, there's no way I can get 60 hours of continuous use without refilling, not unless I want my room to stay dry which defeats the point of having a humidifier. Two nights is more like it. You might get 60 hours if you put the humidity level at low or at a desired level of 45%. I can't comment on how much electricity it uses and I don't know how long it will last. I've had it for one week and so far and I love it. I highly recommend it.

I tried this unit and filed for a return after one week. I bought the unit despite it having only three reviews. Now I question these reviews because they all gave five stars and I completely hate this product.

CONS:

1) The manufacturer claims "High moisture output can quickly humidify a room up to 40 m² (430 ft²)." No way. I have a 10' x 16' bedroom and I am waking up with dry eyes and mouth even though our outdoor temperature lows have only been between 33 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit this week. I had the unit on maximum ouput the last night of my trial. It would only be worse when our heat is running more frequently during the night.

2) If you are light sensitive when you go to bed and you intend to put this in your bedroom then this unit is not for you. It radiates blue light in every direction. There is a bright blue light bulb with the only purpose of shining through the water tank. It does not dim and I can't find a way to turn it off. The manufacturer's picture of the unit shows a blue glow around it -that's not for marketing, that's exactly how it glows. It's very annoying.

3) There is also a blue LED display that automatically dims a level after a minute or so but not near enough and there is no way to turn it completely off. If you put the unit on automatic to control humidity then the LED situation is worse because the word "setup" flashes FOREVER while in that mode.

4) Despite all of this irritating light there is no light where it might be positive: on the buttons of the unit and its remote control! I tried to crank the unit up to its maximum setting in the dark and even though I could see this bright blue cube of water in the room I could not read the controls. I had to turn on the bedroom overhead light which disturbed my wife.

5) From the same night-time-adjustment incident I discovered another annoying thing: each button press beeps loudly. The next day I could not find a way in the manual or through experimentation to disable the beeping for every button press.

6) There is no way that I can find in the manual to change the temperature gauge to read in Fahrenheit versus Celsius.

7) The company does not honor Amazon's expedited shipping policy... but they will charge you for it. I ordered this way and they did not ship to me within two days. I had to email them and then a day later I got a shipping notice.

8) This product is far too much more expensive than other ultrasonic humidifiers and for no justifiable reason that I can discern.

PROS

1) The unit operates quietly when compared to an evaporative humidifier. But so did every other ultrasonic that I have ever owned or observed. That's the pro of going with ultrasonic technology for a humidifier.

2) I like the promise of its "Permanent, easy-to-clean ceramic nano-silver filter for control of white dust, mould and bacteria." I did not see any white dust during my trial week, I can vouch for that. But will the filter last for a long time? I don't know. My bet is that some plastic part will break from handling the unit and the tank at some point and one would need to buy another humdifier before this particular filter gave out.

For now I am switching back to my evaporative humidifier. It's loud and it takes filters and additives to keep the water and air clean but it actually gets the job of humidity control done which is job #1.

We needed a humidifier for our lab and spent many hours researching different options. We chose the Heaven Fresh HF 707 for 3 reasons:

* Ceramic nano-silver filter humidifiers are magnets for mould and bacteria, so this is a must

* Built-in Hygrostat set desired humidity and it automatically maintains that level

* Built-in negative ion generator, excellent for cleaning and sanitizing the air

The first unit shipped to us was missing a part, and we urgently needed a working dehumidifier. We called the seller, explained our situation and the seller agreed to send a replacement by 2nd Day Air. The replacement arrived and worked like a charm.

It's hard to tell from the picture but the unit has a very nice digital display that shows the ambient temperature and humidity. This isn't the cheapest humidifier on Amazon, but if you look carefully all the other humidifiers have quite a few negative reviews. Buying a quality product is always cheaper in the long term.

Overall, we're very pleased with our purchase and the great customer service. Would definitely buy from them again.

Honest reviews on Heaven Fresh HF 707 Digital Ultrasonic Cool and Warm Mist

I like all the useful functionality included in this humidifier. Auto dimming LED, timer, humidity-level control, displays room humidity and temperature (even when powered off, but plugged in, of course :-P), negative ions (though I can't say I felt it and I don't know the spec for the -ion output rate), and remote control. I find them all useful. I will probably also use the warm mist function when it gets cold.

Only complaint, when I set humidity to 65%, it can only push room humidity to about 59%. When I set it to 60%, it works up to about 55%. I use it in a small (~160 sqft) bedroom, and I usually leave the door open by an inch, but windows closed. I live in SF bay area, where humidity level is usually around 45%. Because of its laziness, it does do a good job of saving water. With this relatively small tank (easy to handle), it lasts about 7 nights for me, about 70 hours.

I've owned a lot of humidifiers over the years. The HF 707 is a minimally satisfactory product for basic humidification. The two units I've used have both reliably put out a lot of water into the air, which we need in winter here in New England. We use it in a 12x12 room, and regularly maintain 45-50% relative humidity, as measured by a separate hygrometer across the room (which I recommend you use, as well). The machine's integral hygrometer gives highly misleading readings and should be cross-checked with another instrument. The machine's integral thermometer gives fairly accurate readings. Both readings are thrown way off when you use the heating option. Like most ultrasonic humidifiers, it leaves a deposit of white dust on nearby surfaces, but somewhat less so than our previous Air-O-Swiss.

Order fulfillment is direct from Heaven Fresh, so I ordered direct from them as well. I ordered a black machine, and they sent silver; when I called to get the situation corrected, they explained that they had no black units and that's why they shipped the silver. (What happened to back-order? They seem genuinely puzzled that I would complain.) They promised me the black units had just come in and they'd ship me one right away. Three calls later, three similar promises, finally insisted on talking to a supervisor. He promised it would ship in three days, and it did -and it is black, but from a batch they received from their Canadian branch, so the temperature is displayed in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. When I called them, they said they were out of US models so they shipped me the Canadian. Again, genuinely puzzled that that wasn't okay with me. They offered (again!) to ship me a replacement -but this has turned into a too-long farce already, and I declined.

If you decide to purchase anyway, good luck. I'll be looking elsewhere for the living room unit.
