Reviews of Jarden Home Environment BUL7933-NUM Bionaire Ultrasonic Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I have had my bionare humidifier for almost a year now and while it worked really well in the beginning it is now having some problems. I like the features that allows you to set a certain humidity level and the humidifier will automatically turn itself on and off to maintain that level in the room. The tank can easily last a week or more depending on your location. The problem I am running into now is that my system won't activate because it says the tank is empty when actually it is full. All I have to do to give the device a little shake and it starts up again and can detect the water, but that doesn't do much good because it will say the tank is empty again in 5 mins or so. I have tried cleaning the device but thus far have not found a solution to this problem.

Reviews of Mini Fresh Air Mist Personnal White Humidifier with USB Cable

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my office, which is dry as a bone. I ran it for 15 mins. the first time before mist started spouting -not sure if this is by design? The Good: USB plug is very handy; unit puts out a visible stream of cool mist; unit is compact & easy to clean. The Bad: You'll have to refill the unit every 4 hours. The constant hiss is something you may not appreciate. Your IT dept. may go nuts if you run the unit any closer to electronics than the maximum length of the 2-foot power cord. Also, you'll want to use bottled/filtered water in the unit -if the head gets clogged up by mineral scale from tap water, I'm not sure what your options would be. For the price, it's not a terrible deal -especially if combined with an office fan to help spread the moisture around.

I've been using this humidifier at my desk for 3 weeks now. There are four small black screws on the inside of the humidifier that have completely rusted through. The wet rust runs into the reservoir and makes its way through the humidifier, and turned the filter orange. Gross!

So that this isn't a complete loss, I wipe off the rust off the screws every time I refill it, and wash out the weird orange things floating around inside. This is probably a health hazard but I'm too stubborn to give up on it yet because I spent money on it.

Speaking of which, the reservoir is very very small. I keep a bottle of water nearby and have to refill it every 2 hours. It's also pretty loud compared to other humidifiers, so much that I have to turn it off during conference calls.

It's a cheap Chinese product, so you get what you paid for.

I looks good and works, but its more of a novelty item that a true humidifier IMO. The mister is pretty loud, eventually I stuck a straw in the hole to offset the noise. It has some perforations on the top to let out mist, but the perforations make it sound like someone is constantly shushing you, so I leave it off mostly now.

As another reviewer has mentioned, these wicks arrived in clear plastic bag inside a blank cardboard box. I have no way to tell if they are what the seller claimed them to be.

I will say that these ones did not last nearly as long as the wicks I used before. They do not have the metallic strip running through the middle like the previous wicks had. They collected dust much faster and had dark patches which looked like mold after a few nights of use.

Still, they fit my Duracraft DH-830 humidifier and they did work for a while.

I don't use this product to clean a humidifier but as a cleaning product. It takes hard water off of any surface like you would not believe. I sprinkle a little of this on on get some on a toothbrush. It bubbles and just eats away the hard water. You can then rub it with the toothbrush and it will general vanish.

Love this stuff, I've been using it to clean sinks, tubs, toilets, etc for many years.

I have a warm mist humidifier (the Vicks UV with 2 water containers, similar to my previous Slant Fin humidifier), and this cleaner is extremely effective. Rather than filling the heating compartment five or six times with vinegar when I clean it once a week (after removing the mineral absorption pad), I can fill the compartment once for a matter of a few minutes and all the hard water residue is gone. My water may be harder than yours.

Unfortunately, the instructions on the bottle say that the product should not be discarded in the sink; it should only be discarded in the toilet. This turns out to be virtually impossible to do. The sink in my bathroom is too small to rinse out the humidifier, so I have to rinse it in the kitchen sink. The warning is not specific enough to tell me what the danger is for putting it down the sink. Does it harm the tadpoles in the sewer, or what? My solution is to run the water in the sink for three or four minutes to minimize whatever the potential is. So I am left to wonder if I'm doing damage to my plumbing. I'm giving only five stars for effectiveness minus one star for uncertainty.

I own this humidifier for 3 years and always cleaned it with warm water and vinigar. Over this time some mineral scaling accumulated on the heating element and inside the tank, and I decided to give it a good cleaning with this "fantastic" product. It did NOTHING! It didn't remove any calcium AT ALL! I've used it as directed and even soaked the element for half an hour nothing!

Extremely disappointed, never buying it again!

Honest reviews on BestAir 1C-6 Humidiclean Extra Strength Humidifier Cleaner 32 oz.

Instruction is not very clear. It says "Use plastic brush to apply", but it does not work that way. You must immerse whole unit with this chemical for a couple of hours to get a good result. Calcium deposit/scale is very tough to remove. I used almost one third of the bottle for cleaning one humidifier. I need to repeat it regularly.

I have a humidifier that has a clear plastic basin that holds the water. Lately it's been getting this weird cloudy hard film that won't scrub off. I just poured this stuff into it and the filmy cloudy hard water buildup vanished. I did take a toothbrush to a few of the hard to reach areas, but with just a couple of passes, the residue was gone. You do have to be careful not to spill it on anything or let it sit too long because it can stain. I did spill some in my tub and sink but I rinsed it right away and it was not a problem. But later I found one little tiny dot that I must have missed and it's stained very lightly though

I got this filter because I have cats and birds, and before I started using it, I always had a coating of "bird dust" on everything and was concerned about breathing it. I bought it in mid summer, and in early fall, I opened it up to see if the filters were "catching" anything, and sure enough, they were covered with a fine powdery silt, and then I realized that the bird dust that used to cover desks and other surfaces had almost disappeared since I had started using it. I was grateful to know that the machine had been doing its job. Whenever it was on, I did notice a subtle change in air quality...it seemed fresher. I have kept it running almost constantly for three months, and have not had any problems with it.

While it's working, I don't notice the sound that much, especially on the lower setting which is what I usually keep it on. It simply becomes "white noise". The higher setting is definitely louder, so if that's something that bothers a person, it should be kept in mind, but it's a humming, blowing sound, not rattling or harsh.

I can't compare it to other air purifiers because it's the only one I've ever had, but for the price, and for a person on a budget, I think it's done an amazing job. I'd like to get another for a different part of my house.

I read all of the reviews about it being excessively loud, but went ahead and bought 2 anyways (found a clearance sale on another site). Unpacked, unwrapped and plugged in...LOUD as you can be and just like the other reviewers mentioned.

So I unplugged it, got out my flashlight and did a little investigating. Shined the flashlight in the front vent (darker grey cover) towards the bottom. Inside you will see a black plastic wheel. I had a pair of tweezers and used those to turn the wheel (it goes easily around, no stripping of gears or anything like that). What did I find??? A small piece of black plastic (less than 1/4 inch) hanging on the edge of of one of the fins on the fan's wheel. It looked like where they manufactured the wheels, similar to a plastic model car kit (hope that makes sense). The people at Holmes apparently didn't do very good quality control on these and some slipped through with that sliver of plastic on the wheel. Pulled that piece off with the tweezers, and VOILA! No more noise. It's been going for hours now with no annoying "paperclip in the fan, can't hear myself type on the keyboard" noise.

I didn't unscrew anything. All I needed was a flashlight and the tweezers.

If yours is extra noisy, get out a flashlight and look carefully in there. Get some tweezers or something to turn that wheel so you can look at all sides. Good luck!

Now even on high, it's relatively quiet. I was about to return mine, but glad I didn't.

Oh, I gave it 4 stars just for the trouble I had getting rid of that noise. I will update this review if I have any trouble.

I bought this machine due to my son being diagnosed with several allergies...dust, dust mites, mold, pollens etc. It seems a bit noisy, but nothing I cant get used to, and the air seems cleaner and fresher already!! I guess that means less housework when it comes time to dust..woohoo! Also, if you read consumer reports tells you how BAD the Ionic Breeze is for you, as it creates ozone, which is a toxic emission, that may clear odor, but can poison you as well...hmmm I think I will save my $ and stick with my HEPA filter from Holmes!!

my 1 year old has had allergies pretty much since he was born. poor baby. i have always felt so sorry for him, his eyes always watering and waking up with goopy eyes. and all that wonderful allergy stuff.

i pluged this in 4 days ago and yesterday i realized my sons eyes are clear and he hasnt been itching his face for a couple days!! i have noticed the air quality is better in my boys room than in the rest of the house. i wish i would have grabbed a couple of these when i got this one! (i got it at frys for $50)

exactly what i wanted, exactly what i needed!

i also want to note that when this is on low you can barely hear it, on medium setting (the suggested setting) it is not loud, but definitly audible, on high, it it quieter than a box fan on high. but i love the high setting for when my son is taking a nap, it helps him sleep better, i keep it on low during the day, high at night and during naps.

Ok this machine IS noisy, but certainly not annoying to any degree. Sounds like a fan, not a motor. I recently changed the filter and noticed that it had picked up a ton of airborne dirt and debri. I also feel less stuffy in the morning. So, I will happily accept the fan noise and highly recommend this unit! It's also rather inexpensive for what it can do. Overall, a sound investment.

Just received my Ci-Gel Clear Jar Humidifier. Having never used such an item, I was very disappointed that there were no directions in the package. I have no idea whether to use it as is or fill with distilled water. I've been searching the web for suggestions but so far no luck. This may be a very good product but without directions it is useless to me.

("Ships from and sold by CT Power Tools")

amazon listing shows a photo of a Ci-Gel jar; received item is Xikar brand.

amazon listing says "re-use these again and again by just adding distilled water!"; received item says "refill with Xikar Propylene Glycol Solution" (which costs $12 shipped, for an 8-oz bottle).

amazon listing says "3 ounce capacity"; received item is marked "2 fl oz." this may be a discrepancy between ounces (weight) and fluid ounces (volume), but it does make this item appear to be 50% larger than competing items, which are all advertised as "2 oz".

if i'd known this, i would have ordered the item with Ci-Gel in the title, for $3 less.

i think i will simply refill with distilled water anyway, and when it stops maintaining proper humidity, replace it with the (more expensive) heartfelt beads, which appear to be very popular with cigar smokers.

List Price: $17.79
Sale Price: $3.74
Today's Bonus: 79% Off

These are getting tough to find locally -it used to be I could walk into Sears and walk out with a box, but now they're only interested in selling me the more expensive "type B" HEPA filters that these carbon filters fit over.

There are four of these per box, yet only three are needed per change in our Holmes HAP 650 purifier. The purifier is in use in a converted basement bedroom in the house -it has a moisture control problem, we have the diaper changing table in there, and we own dogs. The evidence is clear every time we change these filters. Not only is there a lot of dust, dander, pet hair and whatever collected in these, but the smell of the room becomes noticeably improved every filter change.

The main function of these filters is to keep the more expensive HEPA filter beneath Holmes HAPF600D from getting clogged. They can be rinsed out under the faucet, by the way, if you don't mind the hassle of the cleaning and the drying. For us, changing these charcoal pre-filters out ever 3-4 months gives us about a years worth of use on the HEPA filters behind them.

Replacement is simple enough: just open the door, pull out the old pads if they're yucky, and the new ones press into place.

My only gripes with these are, for the price they're charging, they ought to put six in the box to provide two full changes. But I do appreciate that they keep the HEPA filters unobstructed for a full year.

I've owned a few Holmes air purifiers over the last ten years and their effectiveness is immediately evidenced by all the dust, particles and cat hair that get trapped in these carbon prefilters. However, this time around I noticed something that I'm almost positive was not the case before...the carbon prefilters do NOT entirely cover the HEPA filter. This will allow particles to enter the HEPA filter on the edges and surely decrease the useful life of the (more expensive) HEPA filters. These are GENUINE Holmes prefilters, they should NOT leave a gap around the edge of the HEPA filter. The gap isn't HUGE, but there is a gap. This is a big disappointment to me.

Please see my photo under "customer photos".

Honest reviews on Holmes HAPF60-U3 Carbon Replacement Filter

The actual Holmes air filter wasn't a bad price, but the HEPA and Carbon Filters are WAY expensive. There's absolutely NO reason why a couple sheets of carbon should be $14 or HEPA replacements $24 and up. A complete replacement of all 3 HEPAs and Carbon Filters will run you $200!

A third party manufacturer needs to undercut these ridiculous OEM replacement prices. Replacing everything every 6 months like recommended is outrageously more expensive than the filter.

That said, the Holmes HEPA filter does a great job of clearing out the air in a room. I suppose that comes with a STEEP price.

Reviews of 1T Bionaire Humidifier Water Treatment (32 oz.)

Customer Ratings:

After looking for a water treatment for my Humidor humidifier I found Bionaire Humidifier Water Treatment. What a difference!! I no longer have a white mist on the cigars packaging. I am very happy with the outcome since receiving and using this product. I highly recommend this product.

Up here in the Northeast, interior winter humidification significantly improves quality of life, however, many people don't bother using one because it can be a lot of work filling and keeping the humidifier clean. We use a Bionaire that holds 6 gallons to humidify the entire house, which is not heated by forced hot air, but by steam convectors. Using this water treatment has effectively eliminated cleaning the humidifier for the entire season. Before finding this product, regular cleaning every few weeks was important to avoid a really nasty mess at the end of the season. I also use the bacteriostatic product by the same manufacturer, which works equally well.
