Lennox Healthy Climate #35 Water Panel Evaporator - # X2661, 10-Pack Review

Customer Ratings:

If you have a humidifier that uses these filter panels then you really need to replace them each year. These are very inexpensive here. A fraction of what an HVAC company will charge you.

Buy Santa Fe Compact 2 Whole House Dehumidifier (4033600)

My previous rental house in the rainy Pacific Northwest had a dehumidifier in the basement that kept it toasty dry so I was sold on the concept.

So I bought the Santa Fe Compact 2 for my new house running for around 2 months now.

Regarding function: It totally dried out the 800 sq ft basement. Before humidity was around 68%, the dirt in the crawlspaces was saturated, and there were beads of water under the plastic sheeting laid over the soil. Now the dehumidifer is holding the humidity down at 49% and the soil in the crawlspaces is dry. It's probably keeping moisture down overall in the house as the furnace exchanges air between the basement and the other floors, however, I haven't done any objective testing to see if this is true.

Regarding installation: I purchased the Santa Fe ceiling suspension kit and have the unit hanging from the basement ceiling joists. This works well at stopping any vibration. I can't normally hear it from the main floor although obviously your mileage may vary depending on the flooring material in your house. On a really quiet night I might hear it switch on and off, however, it's actually quieter than my 16-year-old furnace and the furnace condensate pump.

I ran the supplied condensate hose down to the furnace condensate pump. I needed to buy a $1 hose clamp (from the 'Orange Store') to properly secure the hose to the dehumidifier. It would have been nice if Sante Fe had included that. It's important to make sure that the hose immediately slopes away so water does not build up around the outlet, and also to make sure that the unit is level. At first I must have had some water flow back into the unit because it dripped out the bottom of the unit casing after an hour. Once I corrected the hose and leveled the unit everything was fine.

Regarding appearance: Overall the unit has a sturdy feel. I wouldn't describe it as beautiful appliance however it is definitely solidly engineered which I think is appropriate for basement equipment. It's presently listed under "Kitchen" on Amazon (which they might adjust at some point) however I would not put it in a kitchen or anywhere in a finished part of the house; there are other more appliance-looking dehumidiers that would be more appropraite for those locations.

I purchased this (not from Amazon) and I will tell you this thing really works. Previously, I owned an LG which was the absolute nosiest piece of junk I have ever purchased. I have a finished basement in a suburb of Philadelphia. I don;t have a huge problem with moisture, but I do have my fair share. My LG would work so hard to remove the little moisture that I had.

I found this unit and spoke to a distributor about why these were so much money! I thought that a $250 dehumidifier was sufficient for my basement, but the truth is that these cheap models just end up running up your electric bill, aren't really that great at dehumidifying, and break relatively quickly. If you get a few years, you're lucky.

I was tired of re-buying an appliance every few years, and I am a big believer in "you get what you pay for" so I decided to try this beast out. I was able to score this unit for $999 with Free Shipping from a distributor. I don't think they are allowed to advertise it lower than the MSRP but they gave me a great price considering they routinely sell for between $1100-$1200 pretty much everywhere you look.

After it was delivered I couldn't wait to get it hooked up. I have it sitting on a table and have the drain hose run into my condensate pump for my house heater/ac. These models do not have buckets to dump. They are so efficient and dehumidify so fast and so well, that it would fill up the bucket possibly every couple of hours.

The musty smell in my basement is now gone and the thing hardly ever runs. Initially, it did seem to run a bit in order to extract all of the excess moisture in the air, but now I rarely hear it turn on (more so in the summer than winter).

I definitely recommend you buy one of these models. I fully expect this to be the last dehumidifier I ever have to buy.

After reading many review it was hands down for this product. I am loving it! My previous unit was loudness and used a lot of electricity. The Santa Fe compact is very quite and I saw a reduction in my utility bill around $8 bucks. I opt not to buy the duct system, because I could not see an actual picture of what I was ordering. So I when to the one depot and made a purchase of some ducting material and made it myself. The unit Is located in the builder room and I put in a vent in the main area. So all you see is a vent and may hear the unit come on from time to time. When it does run it unit for a few second not even a minute. I have had the unit for about 8 weeks now. The basement which is completed was very cold and you could feel the moisture in the air and on you when you walked down there. During the summer months The temperature was around 75 80 with that heavy moist air feel. Now My basement does not have that nasty feel in the air. The air is dry and the temperature is very comfortable. We now use the basement again about 95% of the time and enjoy it. Lastly there is no small there anymore.

I bought this at Costco, and I ran this the first night on my bedroom floor, which is carpeted. I left it running on low and I woke up to find my carpet wet in the path of the cool mist. The next night, I ran it on the top of my dresser, about 4 feet up, and that was high enough to prevent the mist from hitting the floor directly. Seems to be working well for me. Emits a fine visible cool mist. When running on the low setting overnight, it uses about half the tank, so I'm refilling the tank every other night.

Love It !!!!! Have had it now for about 3 months and ended up getting another one for my daughters room. No filter , uses tap water its perfect. It does shut off sometimes if it thinks the humidity is at the level set but you can put it at stay on all the time and its fine. I bought and returned 3 others before i finally found this one !!! I dont keep it on floor (as it says not to) and have no water leaking problems .

updateshould mention there is a light on front which some may find bothersome.I sleep with a mask on so it doesnt bother me. Its not real bright but if you like total dark it may bother you.You can always put a washcloth in front of it to block it .

I bought this Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier at Costco and immediately was impressed. I have purchased so called "quiet" humidifiers in the past but they still rattled and made noise. You can't even hear this one running. We purchased it mid November 2012 and have used it just about every day and then it just quit working and wouldn't turn on. We followed the instructions and cleaned it daily and weekly so don't know what happened. I feel somewhat uncomfortable giving this humidifier a low rating just because it quit working. That doesn't mean it is a bad product and it just could be a fluke. Every product is bound to have one lemon in the bunch. I wanted to purchase another but Costco was out in all of their stores. I only paid about $37.99 at Costco but they are being advertised on the Internet at about $68. If you want a really,really, quiet cool mist humidifier, this is the one.

Honest reviews on Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier

We purchased this humidifier for my daughter at Costco (for half of Amazon's price). A month later, we loved it so much that we wanted another for my son. Our Costco didn't have them anymore, so I ordered another through Amazon. It has helped both children's runny noses and my son's dry skin. We have no issues with my daughter's humidifier. I love that there is no filter to change or dry out. The one in my son's room leaves white powder/dust everywhere! We have to dust his room every night. This has never been an issue with my Costco humidifier. Packaging and everything was exactly the same. We will continue to use this humidifier because it has really made a difference with his extremely dry skin.

I bought this unit from Costco. At very beginning, I'm little concerned about this product, because there are not a lot of reviews @ amazon. And the only review I found said very badly about this product. But after I used it for couple weeks, I'm positive to say this is a great product. There's no wet path on the floor after I used it at all. (Not like the other review said.) It's very easy to pour water in. It's also nice that you actually have options to adjust the humidity level.

I live in Chicago where the winters get very cold and very dry. I finally decided to do something about it a year ago and bought a humidifier. I went through a series of 5 humidifiers before I finally came across the Vornado Ultrasonic, which has been the best by far.

I started with a cheap Holmes humidifier that basically boils water and creates steam. The problem is that the heating element gets caked with residue and needs to be cleaned just about every other day and it's very difficult to clean. It also tends to give off a rather bad odor.

After returning the holmes, I purchased a Vornado evaporative humidifier. What I've found is that evaporative humidifiers simply don't create enough moisture. The first Vornado was a bust.

My next attempt was a Sharper Image Ultrasonic humidifier, which is very simple to use, easy to clean and provides a good deal of moisture. Unfortunately, much of the moisture simply falls to the ground right around the machine. I wasn't 100% sold.

I returned the Sharper Image unit to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and found two typically expensive ultrasonic humidifiers on sale for half off. One was the Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic Humidifier http://www.amazon.com/Air-O-Swiss-32838-Ultrasonic-Humidifier/dp/B000J4I4RI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1262363031&sr=1-7 The other was the Vornado. I decided to get them both with the intention of returning the one that I did not like as much. The Air-O-Swiss is a very elegant looking machine with lots of controls and settings. At the top, it has a plastic piece which lets you control the direction the moisture flows (it can go two directions at once). I found that it had the same problem as the Sharper Image unit, but I placed it on a 2' plant stand, directed the moisture to either side and that seemed to keep the moisture from settling on the floor.

The Vornado Unit's settings were slightly more complicated for me to figure out, but we're talking the difference between 2 minutes and 5 minutes here. The Vornado uses a fan to push the moisture further up so that it evaporates in the air BEFORE it hits the ground. PERFECT! I don't have to put it on a stand or worry that I'll find water seaping into my hardwood floors. Where the Air-O-Swiss is super quiet, the Vornado has a fan (that pushes the moisture up) and thus makes a bit more noise. I personally don't find the noise distracting at all and neither does my wife. Noise aside, it is the fan that really makes this the perfect humidifier because this is the ONLY humidifier of the many I tested that actually seems to get more moisture into the air than on the ground. I wound up getting two Vornado Ultrasonic Humidifiers for my 1800 square foot condo and have noticed a substantial improvement. I highly recommend this product.

One last thing... both the Vornado and the Air-O-Swiss have filters, which is nice because you want to be filling your home with clean moisture.

The Vornado whole room ultrasonic humidifier works great. It is cheaper than the Air O Swiss and is quieter. Maintenance is a problem. The manual calls for a weekly time consuming ritual. Scraping off the mineral build-up is a chore. Finding a mineral replacement cartridge is difficult. I will probably try another product next year.

We've tried a few different humidifiers and found that most of them break quickly, are loud, or have some other problem. This Vornado unit at first seemed perfect. It was quiet, did a good job of humidifying a large area and had a good filter that prevented mineral dust from building up in the room. However, after about a month it would randomly start leaking all of its water out. Vornado replaced that unit under warranty with a new unit and the same thing started happening after a month or two.

Honest reviews on Vornado Ultra1 Whole Room Ultrasonic Humidifier

I purchased the Vornado humidifier based on general reviews on the internet. Used it for one week, and returnerd it to Sylvane. The number one problem with this unit is humidstat it does work, but it is off by as much as 15 percentage points. So if you set it for a desired humidity of 50%, it will mist until the humidstat gets to 50%, but the actual humidity in the room will be somewhere around 35 or 40%. Number two problem advertised as "whisper quiet". While the unit is not "loud", it is also not "whisper quiet". Bottom line when you pay $200+ for a humidifier, you expect it to work correctly. I will add that Sylvane made it pretty easy to return the unit, with prompt credit to my credit card.

This humidified well for 1 year and then would not turn on. It is fairly noisy but humidifies well. The weekly cleaning is a pain in the neck. The black interior makes cleaning even more difficult. My unit would not turn on after 1 year. The company exchanged the unit for a new (maybe refurbished) at no charge although I had to pack up the unit and take it to UPS. The new unit worked for 1 week and now does not turn on. In sum, noisy and not reliable.
