Buy Dayton 1UHG3 Humidifier Control, Plug In, 120 V

Customer Ratings:

Rather than buying an overpriced humidifier with a built-in humidistat that doesn't work, I opted for this. The built-in humidistat, NEVER works, and it's been my experience and that of others. Simply state, it is a poor engineering decision because the device can never get an accurate measurement of humidity if it is so close to the source, yet the stupid manufacturers keep on doing it, merely to jack up the price, and the end users have the common complaint of the humidifier having only two states: either on all the time or off all the time.

This one solves the problem. It comes out of the factory quite accurate. I checked it against a couple of hygrometers I trust, and when I placed them at exactly the same spot, the measurement of this device was spot on.

Couple of tips I give other users:

1) Relative humidity measurement can be affected significantly by the position of the measurement device in the room. That's not only because humidity distribution may not be uniform in the room, but more importantly because relative humidity depends largely on the temperature, and you'll have temperature differences between different spots in the room, especially in cold winter when you're heating the room. So, place the humidifier controller in an outlet as close as practical to the point where you want to regulate humiditiy, and definitely not close to your heater.

b) Given how sensitive the measurement is to temperature, be carefuly if you place the device against a cold wall. Again, very possible during winter, if the wall is not internal to the house, but rather a wall that separates your room from the outside. If this happens, then know that the device will be measuring relative humidity thinking that the temperature is actually lower than it is inside your room, which causes the humidity measurement to be higher than it should, it could cause the device to turn off the humidifer before the desired humidity is reached. If this placement is unavoidable, the solution is:

a. Plug the device where you want.

b. Give it a few minutes to stabilize and take an accurate read.

c. Compare its measurement against that of a hygrometer you trust that is placed at the point where you want to regulate humidity.

d. The difference in the reading between the two is a good rough estimate of the amount of correction you need to do when setting the humidifier controller. E.g. if your trusted hygro reads 35%, and this controller reads 42% (because it is placed at a non-ideal position), and you want to improve your humiditiy to 40%, then you set your controller to 47%.

Pros:

It works well. It keeps your plug-in humidifier or vaporizer running until the room humidity reaches whatever percent you set.

Cons:

-There is no way to calibrate it. However, this can be overcome by testing it and then adding or subtracting the difference when setting what humidity you want. On arrival mine was only a couple of percentage points higher than my properly calibrated hygrometer.

-It needs to be placed about half way up to the ceiling and away from anything producing heat in order to get a good reading.

Honest reviews on Dayton 1UHG3 Humidifier Control, Plug In, 120 V

The good news is it does turn on and off automatically. The Bad news is I know for a fact that my sausage drying room is at 72% humidity. The Dayton Humidifier control is reading 58% humidity. I am still trying to figure out the differance so I can make adjustments. I do not believe you can calibrate this??? Today was the first day I used it and I am still running up and down the stairs periodically checking the humidity levels... Not there yet. I really do not care if I know it is off by 10% and make adjustments accordingly but I would have to say that it is not a good product and I may return it if I can not get a reliable result.

So far this humidifier control is working perfectly.

Have had it one month and turns on and off very accurately. Have two humidistat's that I compare it with and it controlling the humidity accurately.

Needed this to control humidity in my older home, in the winter, here in Michigan. Would recommend between 40 and 45 percent. Don't want air in home to low in winter because of dry air, but if too high, I get breathing problems (nose) caused by condensate forming in various area of house (mold???). Window panes, wood window sashes, cold room corners, basement brick walls, etc.

Best ADR30A2G 30 pint dehumidifier - Euro Grey Deals

Customer Ratings:

It works as expected. In the 1st 6 hours it removed over 1 gallon of water from the air and reduced the humidity 15%. It does put out some heat but that is to be expected of all dehumidifiers that do not have an outside air ventilation system.

My house has condensation issues on the inside, so i got this to lower the humidity. Fixed the problem. But it is louder than the clothes drier and squeeks a terrible racket for a brand new appliance. It cycles on and off to keep the pump from not over heating or something I guess but it still will not get the humidity below 50% I have a fairly small house.

After owning it about a month, I am quite impressed with this unit.

It is relatively quiet -especially on low fan speed-and it will really pull the moisture from the air.

I like the top display that shows the ambient room temp as well as the humidity percentage. The device can be adjusted to a wide range of target humidity levels.

It also features the ability to resume its duties automatically following a power outage. Other units must be restarted manually. That is a great feature for us as our electricity can "blink" off a couple of times a month.

I can highly recommend this unit.

I owned a previous model from Danby. Used it for just under 3 years seasonally. It stopped condensing moisture. Still looks new otherwise. This newer model has an improved design for hose connection. It comes with a long hose. Nice. So far, works fine. 2 year warranty comes with it. Hopefully, it will last long. It's noisy. I guess most of them are noisy.

Granted, I have only had this unit for one day but I wish to post some observations. First off, the 1st unit was doa. Amazon shipped me another overnight at no extra cost to me. Kudos to Amazon. This is replacing a 5 year old unit that was recently recalled.

I had a hard time finding how energy efficient this unit was. I couldn't even find out how many watts it used. Even the Danby site doesn't mention this. Oh, and I went to energystar.gov to try and find it, but haha, it is closed due to the government shutdown. Sure you can get to the main page of it, but all lists and details are not available. Only a front or main page. Ridiculous.

So I grabbed my trusty Killawatt to measure it. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day. VERY energy efficient.

It comes with its own 4' hose in order to use continuous drain. It also has two fan speeds, high and low. It is small and light and come with caster wheels for the bottom of it,which are easy to install, if needed. It also is a tad noisy, not loud mind you, but noisy. It also works very well. Took my humidity level from 71% to 59% in four hours. It has an easily accessible filter that can be vacuumed and washed off. It is recommended that the unit be 8" from the back wall in order to dissipate heat. I use this in my 500 sq ft (3700 cu ft) unfinished basement and didn't notice any heat from the unit, in fact the temperature dropped from 64 degrees to 60 during my initial 4 hour power test.

I will update this in the future if anything changes but so far I am very pleased. I would highly recommend it.

UPDATE #1. Once the unit reaches its adjustable humidity level the compressor goes off and the fan stays on. When this happens the amp draw is .3, or 32 watts being used.

Buy Madelaine Crystal Clear Humidifier Jar for Cigar Humidor

Customer Ratings:

Not all humidifying crystals are of equal quality, and these are definitely the best.

I personally use them to refill the humidifying tubes I have been using for years. These tend to loose their capacity to hold the liquid after a year or two, and instead of buying new ones (they are not cheap when you factor shipping costs), I empty them and refill them with Madeleine crystals. Works like a charm for me (and my precious cigars).

I am disappointed to have to write that I was shipped the wrong product. I specifically ordered the Madelaine Crystal Clear Humidifier Jar because of its size (as I already have one). The size of the Madelaine jar fits very nicely in my humidor. Unfortunately, the seller shipped my a Xikar humidifier instead. The Xikar is significantly larger than the Madelaine and does not fit in my humidor. So I've wasted my time and money waiting on the Madelaine jar only to get not what I wanted. If the seller wanted to substitute something in my order, at least ask me first before you send me something I don't want.

This is a fantastic humidifier. I have tried at least half a dozen varieties, and this is my favorite. The black plastic cap is easy to pop off for filling with water, but it also stays firmly in place. The cap has plenty of air holes to allow for adequate ventilation so the water and gel can properly maintain your humidor's climate. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.

Lennox X8797 Maintenance Kit for PCO14-23 - Genuine Lennox Product Review

Customer Ratings:

This product really is the identical kit to the dealer but at one-half the cost. The Lennox PureAir pleated filter needs to be changed each year or so. Install is simple: unplug the unit, pull off the cover and pull out the carrier, replace parts, then button back up hardest part is opening the box. Just take care in handling the lamp and don't bend the metal filter. The cost should be lower for what it is: filter pack, UV lamp, metal VOC catalyst. You can also buy the filter pack alone to replace annually and I go two years on the catalyst and lamp and see no issues (As an engineer, I also own a VOC monitor).

The PureAir system has made such a noticeable difference in my home's air quality, so we stick with it and the high maintenance costs associated with having two separate HVAC systems.

Buy ReliOn WF813 Humidifier Wick Filter-2 Pack

Customer Ratings:

I saw the wf813 filter on amazon and thought good price and cheaper than going to the store. Well, I ended up going to Walmart and compared their wf813 filter and it comes down to this... the one's at walmart were twice as thick and stand up even when soaked with water, HENCE putting plenty of moisture into the air. The other one's from amazon might look the same in their picture but believe me when I say "I had to use paper clips to hold them up and they still wanted to fall over due to being thiner and they barely put any moisture into the air after hours of running. pay the extra .50 or .75 cents and go to Walmart. P.S. Looking at the picture the dark part of the filter was not there only the white part of the filter was there. Hope this clears things up for you.

We bought this for a trip to Canada, as the air there in much drier than in the states. We purchased a bottle of water, and when we got back to our hotel room, discovered that there was not an attachment in the box that fit our water bottle (it was just a normal bottle of Aquafina). So we really weren't able to use this.

I bought this nifty little item because I travel a lot and hotel rooms are notoriously dry. I've used it twice so far and found it worked well and really helped my sinuses! It's very small -about half the size of a paperback book.

Two things to know:

1. If the fit is too loose, too much water will pour into the reservoir -and that will block the mist from leaving the nozzle. So the next point ---

2. It comes with three adapters, none of which fit a couple of my standard convenience store water bottles -they weren't tight enough. However I improvised by wrapping a small plastic bag around the threads to make the fit tighter and it was fine.

I don't know how long it takes to use up a bottle of water because I went to sleep and it was empty when I woke up. The red light was on, indicating that, but it didn't seem to hurt the operation. Next time I'll go for a bigger bottle.

Overall I'm happy with it.

I live in Arizona so it is hot and dry in the summer and cold and dry in the winter. I researched large home humidifiers and settled on this Essick Air 4DTS 300 digital. My experience with this unit so far has been excellent. As of this writing, June 17, 2013, the unit has totally met my expectations. It puts a ton of humidity into the air and makes the whole house feel cooler and more comfortable. I fill the two internal bottles everyday. I feel like the unit is working when the bottles are dry. That's exactly what I want... water in the air. The unit is easy to set up and easy to operate. On a medium setting the unit is very quiet. I really have to listen to hear it running. The cabinet is light weight due to the fact that is all plastic. There is really no need to make a big heavy humidifier in my opinion. The benefit of a lighter cabinet is it is easy to move around. When the bottles are full the unit seems to feel more substantial due to the water weight. The wood front is cheesy but who cares(you can always paint over it)? I think the whole unit looks good and fits right into our décor. The digital controls are easy to operate. I ordered an extra wick, air filter, and bottle of bactericide. I plan on changing the wick every six months or so... if it needs it or not.

When the unit shuts off I know it is out of water (runs about 24 hours on 10 gallons which is both bottles 2x5). During the day I may check the bottles and if I find an empty one I may do a quick refill. When the bottles are empty I take them into my garage to the sink which bypasses my water softener. I put in one tablespoon (maybe a little less) of bactericide (I like the Essick bactericide that comes with the unit) into each bottle and fill each up about two inches from the top... then back in the unit they go (takes about 4 minutes). I run the unit at a setting of 45 and that puts my 2500 sq. ft. homes interior at around 36% humidity which is comfortable.

In my opinion, this humidifier is worth every penny of $185. I works exactly as advertised. I don't have one complaint (which is unusual). Buy with confidence!

I was surprisingly pleased with the Eva Dry mini dehumidifier. I hang mine just out outside our guinea pig's cage and it absorbs excess moisture quite effectively, keeping their food and cage area from getting too humid. It takes several weeks to fully absorb moisture but the indicator will go from blue to bright pink, and the unit will be noticeably heavier. Just plug the unit into the socket overnight to refresh.

I have 5 of these Eva-Dry rechargable dessicating dehumidifiers. Here in humid NC, using the larger in 4x8 closet works well. Takes some time, but definite measurable difference of 10-15% or so on humidity gauge after a couple of days. Need to recharge once a week here where even with the air conditioning on, indoor rel humidity is over 50% most days.

The larger EDV-500 has a much better hook which fits through the holes in the Eva-Dry EDV-500 plug, a feature that is not very well documented!

Also, there are occasional specials: recently a 2 for 1 sale on the EDV-500 with free shipping.

Only reason for not giving this product a 5 star is that as stated in other posts, the recharge process gets the unit very hot and it doesn't always sit well in an outlet without support. I too had one unit fall, and was fortunate the case stayed intact but the little beads could make for a real mess if the unit broke open!

But the real mess this thing avoids is dealing with drying chemicals that collect water and the dissolved dessicant. When that tips over, it is a wet mess, so the EDV-500 and EDV-300 avoid that type of mess.

PS where in the world did someone get the idea to label this "wireless" in the Amazon description? Very misleading!

I prefer this product over refilling messy damp aid units anyday (yuck!).

It seems to keep the closet fairly dry. Two problems. Problem 1. When I renew one of the units, it falls out of the outlet unless I support it with something else. This could be dangerous since it heats up. I'm able to renew it on a counter outlet but could be a more problematic for a regular outlet that has more space between outlet and floor. Problem 2. My boyfriend who I forgot to tell about the unit, went into my closet like a bull in a china shop and it fell off its hook and broke (glass beads everywhere) I had to buy a new one after only a month. There should be a more secure way to affix the unit to hang in the closet or perhaps customer should opt to put it on the floor. The hook is fairly flimsy and if you have kids or clutzy significant others, hanging just isn't a good option for a closet that is full and tight.

Honest reviews on Eva-dry E-500 Renewable Wireless Mini Dehumidifer

I got the 500 for my 1.6 cubic ft. AMSEC safe for my handguns and important documents and use a wireless temperature/humidifier sensor to measure the moisture. It works well and keeps moisture at bay.

Con: After a month and 2 renews, the unit stopped renewing. The unit would not heat up to release the moisture from the unit. Did a little troubleshooting and found that the collapsible power plug wouldn't make contact when plugged into the wall. This is the contact between the plug and the unit itself and not the wall. The weight of the unit when plugged into the wall would tend to pull itself away and cause it not to make contact with the unit. I verified this with a Fluke multimeter while pulling on the plug it would lose connection. The only work around is to charge it upright on a power strip where the weight would help give it a better connect.

The unit gets very HOT! I assume this is normal considering it needs alot of heat to release the moisture from the unit. I'm just afraid it might catch on fire one day during a renew. To be on the safe side, I renew in the middle of my tile floor.

I purchased this about a month ago for a beer keg refrigerator that kept collecting standing water on the bottom. I would use towels to soak up the half inch of water from the bottom of the fridge, but when I would open the fridge to check it again a week later, the water would always be back. Since I put this de-humidifier into the fridge a month ago, the fridge is still completely dry, and the beads have yet to change color at all, so I haven't yet had to "recharge" the dehumidifier. It's done just what I needed it to do. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

---UPDATE---

To my surprise, it was over 7 months before any moisture appeared in the bottom of the fridge again. I plugged in the Eva-Dry for about a day and a half (until I could see pink beads again), and put it right back in the fridge, which has been dry ever since (1 month and counting).
