Discount Woodeze 5CN-HK-B 2 Quart Black Half Kettle - Brass Handle

Customer Ratings:

We needed an item to humidify our very, very dry wood stove heated home. This seemed like the right tool for the job even though it was a bit pricey. It has been somewhat effective with respect to adding some moisture to the air. Well made, but would be more enthusiastic if hadn't cost quite so much.

Fits perfect on my Hearthstone Clydesdale insert. Blends in well also. My shelf dimension is five & a quarter inches & it fits perfectly, no overhang. A little expensive but Made in America providing jobs for Americans, I like that. The only thing that surprised me was that you're advised to not use the water for consumption, strictly for putting humidity in the air. Guess I'll have to stick with the microwave for my tea.

Review of Vicks Starry Night Cool Moisture Humidifier, Model V3700, 1 gal

Customer Ratings:

I previously owned a Vicks cool mist humidifier, Vicks 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. I bought the other one about two years ago and loved it but it had a lot of wear. I put this humidifier on a wish list and it was purchased for me. The thing that is great, it takes the same filters as my other humidifier which I still had left over, Protec WF2 Extended Life Replacement Humidifier Filter.

My older humidifier was very loud. You could not talk on the phone without the person hearing a very loud hum. I actually got used to it because I live next to an interstate and it was great white noise. This model you can barely hear on the two settings. One you can not even hear that it is on, the other you literally have to be standing right next to it to hear it. It is very silent which to some will be a pro not a con.

I have a newborn and she sleeps in a cradle next to my bed and I love to turn on the lights for her. It is a separate switch so you do not have to have it on while running the humidifier. In fact you can run it alone. I will warn you I find it rather bright. Also, most humidifier I have owned sit on a dresser of some sort so the lights are very close to the edge of the ceiling. I have to pull it out a bit so it can show more on the ceiling. I think that is a poor design flaw. I again think it is bright but turn it on for my little one. Sometimes I get up and turn it off since it can be annoying to see the lights if you are a light sleeper.

My biggest complaint right now is the fan. It does not make any noise but in winter you have to make sure it is not facing the baby or your bed. It blows a lot of air and in the winter it is cold! My bed is about 20 feet from the unit and I have to turn it completely to the side to avoid freezing in winter. I might like it come summer but right now it is very annoying.

I cannot speak for the added Vicks vapors since I have not needed them and they are not approved for newborn use. However, when she is sleeping in her crib and I feel congested I guarantee you I will use it. I have always used Vicks vapor rub or even Vicks Advanced Soothing Vapors Waterless Vaporizer on my night stand and they never fail.

Last, you can place ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 2) in the tank. I did so with my previous humidifier. However, it does scratch the heck out of the tank and makes it look very aged. It did seem to make the filters last longer, by about a week. However, I just use cold filtered water from my kitchen sink and I have not had any issues. Also, the lid is easy to remove and place on the base without any leaking.

As my second Vicks humidifier and for having a newborn you can't go wrong with this unit. I am very pleased and hope to get a few years out of it.

We got this because our air conditioner was de-humidifying the air and we have acoustic guitars. When the humidity hit 30%, off we went to a local store for a cool humidifier. This was the only one they carried, so it's what we got. If you have a very small room, or don't need much humidity, this could be a useful item. Unfortunately that wasn't our situation. Having water sitting in our sink literally raised the room humidity more than this Vicks humidifier, and running the shower for 2 minutes does a better job of raising the humidity in our apartment. As far as I can tell, unlike other humidifiers with ultra sonic motors, this one just blows air across the water. If you hold a piece of paper in front of where the fan blows for a couple minutes, it doesn't get even slightly damp. I gather it puts out a max of just over a gallon a day half of what those cute animal humidifiers from Crane do.

The stars it shone on our ceiling we really liked, btw. They change color and look pretty and relaxing.

If you need only a little bit of moisture, this might do the trick. For us, it'll have to go back.

My son loves this humidifier. We use it in the bedroom and it works great. It has 2 features that really set it apart. First, it projects stars on the ceiling which continuously change color. This is the fun part. Second, there is a slot inside where you can add a vicks mentol stick to help with congestion. It fills up the room with the menthol scent. You can turn any of these features off too. The only thing that would make it better would be if the stars could be set on a timer.

We bought this humidifier for our baby's room. We use it when he starts getting a cold and/or gets congested. Works great! I've heard of problems with humidifiers leaking or leaving a wet film on furniture. This one does neither. The starry night light and vapor pads are a nice addition as well.

Was trying to decide between the 500 and 600 models. They are basically the same, besides how much humidity they can add to the air. My home is about 3300 sq feet, and the 500 is rated for 3000 sq. feet. Another review stated the manufacture said that with a tight home you can bump up the rating by about 30%. Went with the 500 and I have no regrets. Install wasn't hard and wasn't easy either. I did use the hot water supply to the unit because I wanted to reach the max ratings. Also hooked it up so the blower could be activated by the humidistat. At first I was confused by the "improved" wiring diagram. I thought that you wouldn't be able to start the blower from the Thermostat. I was wrong because the thermostat just makes the call through the humidistat. Overall I am very satisfied with the product.

Pros:

Notice a huge difference in the comfort of my home in less than 24 hours.

No Bloody nose in the morning.

Was able to turn the Thermostat down about 2 degrees, because the wife said it felt warm. ;)

Cons:

I'm a very skilled workman and the install took longer than expected. Look at spending about 6 hours installing this product.

The transformer that was shipped with the product was DOA. No 24VAC out. Luckily I had a spare sitting around.

Pulled this off a review from the 600 model. Revised/Added a couple of items. It works for the 500 model as well.:

#8 self tap sheet metal screws at least 1.25 inch.

1/4" copper water line Home Depot sold it in a 10ft section.

1/2" ID clear vinyl tubing for drain

Clamp to attach the vinyl drain tubing to the humidifier

Small wire nuts

6" start collar for bypass connection I found a collar that included a 90 degree.

6" 90 degree elbow(s) for bypass connection

6" pipe for bypass connection. I purchased a 4 ft section and was plenty for a vertical setup.

18-2 thermostat wire (a few feet of 18-5 may be helpful to go between the humidifier and your furnace, but 18-2 will work there as well)

HVAC foil duct tape

Rubber weatherstripping to seal the 500 casing to the duct work.

I had an older Aprilaire humidifier at my old house, and loved it, so I purchased this for my new house. It works well, and I like the automatic control feature for the rh. The installation took me a while, but it wasn't too difficult.

The reason for only 3 stars: About 2 days after I installed it, the controller(Model 60) quit working. I do not work for a heating/cooling company, and the warranty expresses that it will be void if the unit isn't installed by a qualified tech. So, I took a look at the controller. -Found Vcc was only ~.2V. Rectifier and 24VDC okay. Found that D1(I believe 5.6V zener diode) had broken down. Even with a loupe, I had a hard time reading the number on the side of the diode, but by doing the math and figuring that Vcc would be typically 5v, I purchased a 5.6V zener NTE replacement diode(5.6v because the voltage will be dropped ~.6V from B-E of transistor in the regulation circuit). I replaced the zener diode, and the unit seems to be working fine now. Also, this was a surface mount diode that I replaced with an axial lead diode just have to solder carefully.

Hope this information can help someone else. The part only cost me ~$0.60, which beats paying ~$80 for a new controller.

Solid product. Note that there's a bit of work to installing this yourself, but a reasonable handyman DIY type should be able to handle it. I live in Minneapolis and even in Oct, the air starts to get pretty dry, after less than a day I could notice a significant difference.

Honest reviews on Aprilaire 500 Humidifier, 24V Whole House Humidifier w/ Auto

I was questioning my decision to purchase a bypass wholehouse humidifier with an automatic control. An HVAC guy gave me great advice. The automatic control should only be used in areas of the country that have high humidity. Here in Utah the manual control would work just fine. Nowhere on YouTube or other literature did I hear such advise. The HVAC fellow saved me $50. Also, even with a bypass wholehouse humidifier I will see the humidity level to get around 35%. If I wanted a higher level of humidity then a steam wholehouse humidifer is the only option. The cost of a steam version is just too costly. The HVAC fellow said most people in Utah will be happy with the 35% level. Finally, the HVAC fellow said Trane humidifiers are really Aprilaire products.

I just installed it today and so far I can feel the humidity levels rise already.

One trick I can suggest is use a 10 wire line. You can use this to hook everything to the unit (including the thermometer). This will save you time from running a second or third line.

I used the extra wires in the line that runs to the A/C unit outside and hooked up the thermometer that way. This saved me from drilling holes and running extra line outside. I just used the screw that holds the A/C casing to hold the thermometer as well.

Overall, this is not a hard product to install but you do need to understand wiring (low voltage) and how to cut ducting.

Customer Ratings:

I bought this humidifier to replace an old humidifier in our bedroom. This one is nice and compact for a 2.5 gallon model and is very quite compared to other humidifiers. My favorite feature is how long the water lasts. On high the humidifier easily runs the entire night and on low the humidifier runs from when we go to bed until lunch without needing a refill.

I previously had a Sears model and chose this because it was the original supplier. It has all of the features I liked from the earlier Sears: overnight capacity, nice water handling, and quiet operation.

Alas, it has the one real pain I did not like about the Sears the finicky safety switch. This exists on the side of the unit to detect the presence of the water tank before engaging the humidification power. However, one typically has to keep fidgeting with the tank to get the switch to work. On the Sears unit I got so frustrated I simply wired it out of operation.

My old Sears suffered a cracked base and started leaking but only after many hours of service, so I'm willing to give this unit a chance (plus I had leftover filters...). Take the manual's advice and only use distilled water. Mineral buildup can be a real problem to keep at bay if you use tap water.

So far so good. Humidity on a cheap barometer goes from under 20% to about 50% on high for awhile. Helping me sleep immensely. Had to put it on a flat surface for it to work, fills extremely easily. Also seems to warm room quite a bit but might be a comfort level thing.

Honest reviews on Optimus U-32000 2.5 Gallon Warm Mist Humidifier with Wicking Vapor

I didn't know anything about humidifiers or what the big deal was. My 5 year old has had trouble with coughing at night for quite some time, but recently it got to the point where she coughed so violently that she vomited. This happened on two different occasions a week apart, so we headed to the allergist (she is allergic to house dust or dust mites more likely). The allergist told us that a humidifier would "probably help." Now we use an inhaler every night, and run the humidifier on high all night in her room. On just the first night she slept 4 hours past when she usually wakes up coughing. I didn't mean to test it, but tonight something happened with the water properly filling the bottom section, so it didn't start humidifying... sure enough, at 1am she woke up hacking, asking for a bowl. A simple removal and re-set of the tank and the humidifier was going again, and she's fast asleep.

It runs quietly. Tank is easy to fill, and can run on high for a good 10-12 hours.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the "Wicking Vapor System" ... basically there's a little felted sleeve that fits over the heating element to catch the minerals and gross stuff in the water I guess. You're supposed to rinse the sleeve every time you use it, but even so, mineral deposit builds up around the top of the heating element. I'm using filtered water, and the sleeve is still caked with brownish mineral deposit that you're supposed to rub away with your fingers under running water. Just kind of gross, and a little more maintenance than I expected. I guess it's nice to know that junk isn't in the air though.

UPDATE: The sleeves are available in a 3 pack for $15 here on Amazon. I used 1 sleeve for 3 months, running humidifier daily with filtered water, before replacing. I also manually chipped the mineral deposit off the heating element unplugged of course but it was super thick in places, like 1/4 1/2" thick. I can't imagine it really functioning properly over time if those deposits are not removed.

The humidifier works fine and is easy to take apart and put back together. The tank and base are easy to clean, but not the main unit. THe heating element gets encrusted with junk. I empty the unit and clean the filter pad which encases the heating element but the element itself get encrusted. The instructions say to use distilled water but this would be prohibitively expensive as the thing is on all the time.

I am unsure if I received a defective product. The OxyEye was pink inside of the sealed up bags. After I used the oxygen absorbers in my canning jars I noticed that the OxyEye was still the same colorpink. It is still pink now, a day later sitting on the counter. No color change. I am wondering if all my oxygen absorbers were exposed and no longer good. That would be frustrating considering the time it took to seal up all my jars and vaccumm pack it.

I emailed the seller and am waiting to hear back. Will update the review once I do.

**Update** I still have not heard back from the seller, Seal & Store, LLC. I received a new bag of Oxy absorbers from another site, a reputable company. I left one absorber out of the bag on the counter to see what happenedit got hot! Like they are supposed to when they are absorbing oxygen. Also, the oxyeye turned purple to indicate it had oxygen contact.

This DID NOT happen with the oxygen absorbers that I purchased from Amazon. I left 2 out of each bag and they never even got warm. I am sure I received a defective product. Both OxyEye indicators stayed pink. Neither turned purple.

I am now lowing my rating to 1 star.

The indicator did nothing when I opened package and no change in color for weeks now. I've heard the packets get a little hot when working properly. No change in temp ether, I'm wondering if my food is ok. I think I will buy another brand open my bags and throw in another absorber or two. The other reviews say they work great, how do they know?

UPDATE: I compared the indicator with an unopened package again and I do see some change in color. Perhaps they are working, Also did find another vender that appears to be professional selling the same product so I feel better about the situation. The other vender gave instructions for testing these things. Tape it to the bottom of an empty jar, turn the jar upside down and place it on a pie plate with water. If the absorber is working it will pull some water up into the jar. start the test over each day for about a week. It should keep working for a few days.

I have ordered many Oxyfree adsorbers and this (it was a huge order) was my first experience with Oxysorb. One package came without a status indicator, I trusted it anyway. They did not function as my others, and were unable to create a small vaccum inside of small canning jars, even when I used two. Another package arriving shortly later (300cc) without any status indicator. My 2000cc adsorbers were unable to "finish off" the vaccum in my 5 gallon bucket of rice, and two in combo were unable to do it in a 5 gallon bucket of beans. The thing with adsorbers is that they must be packaged and handled right to be of high quality when they arrive at your home. A simple visual inspection won't work and it is often hard to identify a failure if you also used a foodsaver type of product. Do not trust your long term food investment to this product unless you know your stuff and can check for function. I recommend Oxyfree brand from known seller instead of this product. Please be careful and do not trust this product, or maybe just this sellers re-packaging of this product. Leave one absorber out for an hour or two to see if it gets hot, or seal it with a small amount of air in a foodsaver bag to see if it functions!!
