We have a Pacific Energy Alderlea T5 with a majolica brown porcelain finish. This little guy matches perfect. While it's a little small, I don't think I would want it any bigger for appearance purposes. We don't go through too much water since it typically does not sit directly on the steel stove but rather the built in trivet on our stove. If you're planning to put this directly on top of the stove, just plan on the need to fill it more often (it's not recommended to let it dry up and sit on the hot stove). We're using distilled water so our well water doesn't wreak havoc on this pretty little guy.

This is a competitively-priced steamer that is solid in construction and looks better than anything else we've seen, and most importantly (for my wife), it matches perfectly. I would highly recommend buying this and then buying the PE Alderlea T5 wood stove to match!

American Comfort R4 1500W 9000BTU Heater Air Purifier Adjustable Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I just received the R4 yesterday. After carefully following directions on placement of unit, etc. this heater did no better than the $15 1500 BTU it replaced and it was only about a 1x1 foot unit. This was a total waste as it does not heat the 24x20 living room it was purchased for. The claims for this unit are largely embellished. Take it for what it's worth, folks.

Full featured and so far does everything as advertised. We hardly use the central heating any more, unless weather is extreme and we have company staying over in a spare bedroom. Just roll this to where you want warmth and turn it on.

The American comfort R4

It does a terrific job heating a room whether small, medium or large. I was impressed with the quality and ease of use. I would highly recommend this infrared heater to anyone. It will save us money during the cold nights not having to use the gas furnace. I look forward to being able to write more about it at a later date.

First off, let me say that I would really like this product if it didn't leak, but it leaked water on the ground from day 1. I tried a few different things to get it to stop leaking, but each time I put water in it, the water would end up on the ground beneath the unit. Ended up having to send it back for a refund.

Best Vicks Waterless Vaporizer Deals

When I was still living in New York, my local pharmacist saw me purchasing this product and asked me if it worked. I explained that it was actually my third purchase. I had accidentally left my other two back in Texas and my son had caught a cold. After hearing my spiel about how it worked, the pharmacist dashed off to set one aside for her kids.

The Vicks Waterless Vaporizer is literally a plug-and-use product. Simply insert a scent pad, plug in the power cord, and choose your intensity setting. It goes from "off" to "III", with the latter being the most intense release of scent. No mess or fuss. At night, it doubles as a pleasant, low level, green nightlight.

The only complaint you may have is that, similar to the rub-on version of Vicks, it can burn the eyes if it is a little too close to someone's face. Otherwise, it clears your nose like magic and lives up to the Vicks reputation.

Oh yeah, I've since added a fourth one to my anti-cold/flu arsenal. My mom seems to be claiming a couple.

[I've also written a review on the Scent Pads for this product.]

When you are miserable with a cold and congestion you will do anything to find a little relief. In what seems like a forgotten remedy was using Vicks Vapor Rub on your chest as a means to open up your bronchial passages and sinuses. The problem was that a big helping of Vicks Rub was messy, it could stain sheets, and wore off through-out the night. Now we have the Vicks Waterless Vaporizer..... to see how it works check out the video portion of the room.

Notes -

The most important fact, is that it really seems to work. After each night I felt about 20-25% than the day before. Each morning I spent less time coughing, sneezing, an clearing my throat.

Use the Vicks Waterless Vaporizer Scent Pads (6 Pads) which is are not cheap, but not overly expensive

Provides 8 hours of aroma/vapor per insert I have used the pad for up to 16 hours, although you do see a drop-off on the second night

Glows green when in use

Three settings dependent on the size of the room.

On the highest setting the aroma/vapor will easily fill up a 400 sq. ft. room

Provides relief without the use of medicines

It can be over-powering, almost smothering if you have a dislike for menthol.

Final Verdict When I am sick the Vicks Waterless Vaporizer is now a part of permeant night time routine. While it may not be for everyone I certainly would not hesitate recommending this to help someone ease the symptoms of a night time cold.

I purchashed this when my daugther was less than a year old and wasn't sure at the time if it helped but this cold and flue season I pulled it out again and use it in combination with a cold air humidifier in my kids' rooms and the combination seems to work pretty well. I've also cheated by using my own bottle of eucalyptus oil on the little pads rather than buying new refill pads. With small kids, the eucalyptus is strong enough and so it works great. I can smell the vapors all the way dowstairs so I know it's permeating their rooms well. My three-year old daughter loves it so much that I'm having to buy her one for her room since I've had move it into her baby brother's room.

Honest reviews on Vicks Waterless Vaporizer

This is big! This is the model that sits on a table, not the one that plugs directly into the wall outlet. I just got it in the mail today and I am surprised at how big it is. It is 5 inches by 5 inches, easily. It comes with these little medicated pads that feel dry but that give off this very strong scent if you turn the machine on high. I did, and I had to turn it down, because I found the smell too overpowering. I tested it this way because several people said they had a hard time smelling the scent. They must have had a bad cold at the time because I had no problem at all.

Also, even though they tell you not to, you can use the pads that come with it again and again instead of buying expensive replacement pads, just refresh them with a few drops of essential oil. I bought a bottle of pure menthol and eucalyptus essential oil blend (with nothing else added)for this reason. And because I do not care very much for the smell of the pads that came with the machine (it is a slightly different blend), I put a couple of drops of the menthol eucalyptus blend right on the pad that is in the machine now.It is strong enough that I can smell it even in the next room.

As you can use any essential oils you want for different scents, in these machines, I also bought some empty pads from the vapor-eze website, as it is cheaper than anyplace else I have seen. These too can be used again and again. This way I can switch pads and switch scents (the smell of the oil stays in the pads so you should only use a pad for one oil or oil blend). You are not supposed to touch any essential oils but you only dab a few drops on a pad and you never touch the oil at all, so it is no problem.

This is a nice, cheap, aromatherapy machine. You do not have to use the pads that come with it and you do not have to buy expensive replacement pads. I am only sorry I did not buy it sooner as I have been struggling with walking pneumonia for nearly a month and am almost over it now. The machine could have helped a lot. By me, it is not sold in any brick and mortar store, so I finally took a chance and bought it sight unseen online. I am glad I did.

Reviews of Slant Fin GF-240 1.9 Gallon Germ-Free Cool Mist Evaporative

Customer Ratings:

So far I really like my new Slant/Fin GF-240 1.9 Ga Germ-Free Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier. The features I like best about it are the large capacity water tank, the ease of filling the tank, the use of tap water without getting mineral deposits and white dust, and its quietness on low fan. This humidifier is much better than the last two I owned. The first was a cool mist machine that sprayed fine droplets of water all over the room. The other was a hot mist machine that clogged up with minerals in the water and had to be cleaned with Lime Away about once per week. Needless to say, we have very hard water, but I have had no problems using it in my new Slant/Fin GF-320 humidifier.

Bought the Slant/Fin GF-240 in Jan. 2010 through Amazon, sold by J&R Music. I bought this humidifier to replace a Honeywell HCM-300T (also a UV humidifier), which was a disappointing product because the fan motor became obnoxiously noisy after a year or so of operation, and the airflow was toward the bottom of the unit which meant your floors became too moist while not enough moisture dispersed into the air. Eventually I had to put the HCM-300T in the trash because the motor seized up entirely -the Honeywell was poorly designed, not end-user serviceable.

The GF-240 unit itself is small enough so that it will fit in a tight space, such as the corner of a room or even underneath a desk, fan is on the top for more effective delivery of moist air. Just rotate the fan grid on the top to change the direction of the airflow so that the unit can be placed against a wall. The water holding tank is quite large, very easy to refill and replace, sets right into the unit's base without effort.

Slant/Fin intelligently designed the G4-240 as the electrical components (fan, motor, UV bulb, controls, and sensors) sit above the water in a housing which detaches easily from the base for really easy cleaning and maintenance, this was a feature that I had not seen on other humidifiers. The UV bulb has a rated lifespan of 2000 hours, so it'll last at least 3 months if you run the unit 24/7. I was impressed by the bulb as it's fairly beefy, in other words, the bulb will effectively destroy bacteria and other organisms present in tap and well water. Watch out for other UV humidifiers (such as the Honeywell HCM-300T unit) as the UV bulbs are tiny and simply not effective. The wicking filter (comes with the GF-240) absorbs minerals from the water which prevents the "white dusting", a common problem with ultrasonic and vaporizer humidifiers that spray water directly into the air.

The only CON is that the fan is quite loud at the high setting, this was acceptable in my case because the unit is used in a bedroom (not occupied during the day) so I can set the fan to LO at night. At LO, you won't even know the GF-240 is running, but it still effectively disperses moist air on the LO setting. If you intend to run this humidifier in a large bedroom all night and must run it on the HI setting, you may want to look for a quieter unit or an ultrasonic humidifier.

Overall, the Slant/Fin FG-240 is a well-designed humidifier with more features (UV sterilization, a larger holding tank, and auto-shutoff when the desired humidity level is achieved) and better quality than just about anything that can be purchased at a department store.

I have never written a review for a product but because this humidifier has been such a huge disappointment and waste of money I feel compelled to warn others. The biggest problem is that the fan sucks up water and continuously drips, very loudly! It is very annoying. In the middle of the night I have tried picking up the body off of the base, shaking it to drain all the water out of the fan, but 10 minutes later it's right back to drip, drip, drip. Of course you want to get a humidifier to increase the humidity in your room, but this one does not do the job. We have a digital humidity detector, after running this humidifier, full of water at the highest setting for more than 24 hours the humidity level in the room only changed by 1 percent, 22% to 23%. A comfortable humidity level for a room needs to be at least 30%. We have an older Honeywell humidifier for which I recently purchased new filters and the first night we ran it, the humidity in the room jumped to 35% and has consistently been in the 30s every time we run the humidifier. So I am certain not only does the Slant/Fin GF-240 have the most annoying dripping habit but it doesn't even do the job of adding humidity to the room. Save your money and spend it on a humidifier that works!

Honest reviews on Slant Fin GF-240 1.9 Gallon Germ-Free Cool Mist Evaporative

Just don't expect it to humidify a whole house. I use this to humidify a wine storage room, so that fact that it does not create steam is a plus, as is the uv sanitization. The sensor does a good job of keeping the humidity level within 5% of my desired level. I've been using one for years with no problems and no mold, so when it finally gave up, I ordered another to replace it. The original uv bulb never burned out. I fill the tank with water from my reverse osmosis spigot, rather than hard water from the tap, so that has probably helped its lifespan.

Reviews of SPT SD-30E 30-Pint Dehumidifier with Energy Star

Customer Ratings:

I have been using this dehumidifier for several weeks. It does what it is supposed to, and is somewhat quieter than the one it replaced, which I appreciate. I also like how the air filter is designed so it is simply pulled out of the side of the unit for cleaning.

I have a semi-submerged basement that gets a little muggy, particularly in the summer, so I purchased this unit not even a year ago to help keep the area comfortable. While the unit ran fine for about 9-10 months, it promptly began to malfunction as it neared the one year mark. Condensation appeared on the right side of the unit and frost began to collect on the coils. I have let it defrost several times, but the ice always reappears, and actually gets so thick that it makes removing the bucket and filters difficult. While it's true that I used this appliance almost constantly, I think if I pay 200 dollars plus for a device it should function reliably for more than a year.

This dehumidifier seems to work well if you can empty the reservoir regularly. Since we are out of our house for months at a time, I need to attach a hose so the water will run out. Our first dehumidifier lasted only three years (a Zenith ZD30)so we needed a new one. When I wanted to set a hose up for continuous water flow, the hose provided was too short and too narrow. I couldn't attach it to the exit nozzle. I went to Home Depot (I bought it through Home Depot online) and asked if they had any ideas for me. After some thought, we decided to take a thicker hose.

I ended up using the thicker hose from HD and a hose clamp to attach it to the nozzle. Since the presence of the hose clamp does not allow the water reservoir to be inserted correctly, I needed to tape the lever (the lever the tells the machine that the reservoir is inserted correctly) with cardboard and duct tape.

I did use the tiny piece of hose pipe that was provided when I inserted it into the garden hose that leads to the shower. Then I inserted the tiny hose into the Home Depot hose, thereby making a leak-free communication of hoses.

In the end, the machine works fine, but you will need to make some significant modifications if you want the condensation to flow out continuously.

Purchased the dehumidifier 1 year ago for use in the basement. I attached a hose for continous use. Turned it on and have left it on for the year. Automatically defrosts as necessary. Maintains a consistent humidity. It is a little loud when in defrost due to running higher air flow rate, but no a problem.

I ordered this brand because of the Energy Star rating. we always try to do a small bit to conserve energy for our growing world. It is a bit loud as described in other reviews so I wouldn't recommend for your living area, but we use it in the basement and that is not a problem. I wish that it had a larger capacity tank as we need to change it 2x a day. There is a 'work-around' in that it has a setup for constant drainage but we have no place to drain into so we will put up with the small tank. At least it has an automatic shut-off should the tank reach capacity. Our old Sears reconditioned dehumidifier lasted 20 years, so we hope that we can get close to that with this one. I would, so far, recommend this brand and model to anyone with the caveats of this review and others. At least,now, our lights don't dim each time a dehumidifier cycles on like the old one.

Cheap WF2630 Bionaire Humidifier Wick Filter (4 Pack)

Customer Ratings:

I've ordered this product in the past and found that's it's too long and wide (9"long X 6 1/2" high X 2 1/2" wide) to replace the original filter in the Bionaire BCM4530. For this Bionaire model, I needed a filter that is 7 1/2 " long X 6 1/2" high X 2" wide. Luckily, I owned a bandsaw which I used to trim the excess length and the filter could then be compressed into the filter compartment, but the situation was far from ideal. I hope that I can find a source which sells replacement filters of the correct size.
