I just purchased a Cast iron humidifier and love it-$5.95 at the local thrift store.Cast iron needs to be seasoned,just like a cast iron skillet.Clean your cast iron item,dry it out,then rub bacon grease on it,inside and out(that's the best way)or olive oil or shortening and bake it in the oven for an hour or so-that should stop the rust,let it cool down in the oven.One reviewer said she was going to paint her's-that's probally not a good idea if you are going to use it-to many chemicals in the air.Oiling it will make it nice and black.

This cast iron kettle is very sturdy and it looks great on our wood stove. Keeping it full of water while burning a fire to keep the house warm is a great way to keep moisture in the air. Before using this kettle, it became hard to breathe since my nose and throat would dry out. Now there are no worries!

I would recommend this kettle for anyone who uses a wood stove or burns a fire for household heat.

We like this kettle very much. It could not be used as a teapot it gets rusty on the inside and it is very heavy and somewhat difficult to lift; but it sits on top of the wood stove and helps to humidify our house in the dry winter. Excellent value for the money!

Honest reviews on Cast Iron Kettle Humidifier

If you have a wood-burning stove in your home or cabin, this is an essential item. It restores much needed humidity where wood-stoves can tend to dry out a room or environment. It's also made of heirloom quality cast-iron and is sure to last many generations.

The kettle does function, but the paint is flaking off. I use this on my wood burning stove, and it does steam up and humidify, but the paint isn't great. I am planning on re-painting it. so, it works for what I bought it for, but its not pretty.

WHEN it works it is OK. It has all of the defects described by the other reviewers. But they make up for the defects with rotten customer service. I bought this unit on January 31 07. Used it until the end of March, at which time I cleaned it and replaced all of the consumables per the instructions. I put it back in service two weeks ago. Six days ago it stopped working. I called their customer service. They use an out-sourced customer service group that will NOT talk to you, but rather, insists on taking your number and calling you back in the evening. Of course, they called back when I was out and left a message that they would call the following evening. They did not. I called back the next day and went through the same thing. That evening, since thay had not called by 8:30, I called them. This time, they insisted that I go through some trouble-shooting (all of which I had done previously). They then told me to leave it unplugged for a 1/2 hour (by which time they would be gone) and then "reset" the unit by pressing a button combination. I did this. The next day I called them again and got the same "wait until tonight" pitch. I insisted on an RMA number, which I received. HOWEVER, before they will tell you where to ship the unit, you need to FAX them a proof-of-purchase (their email address bounces back). The you have to wait for them to call. It is now 6:30PM on a Friday night and no call. So I called them and got their voice mail, where I was instructed to leave a message. So It will not get shipped to them this week. Next week I am traveling, so it won't get shipped until the following week, which means that they will not get it until after Christmas, which means it will be mid-January before I get a repaired unit. These people are total idiots. For a $200 humidifier, I would expect some sort of real customer assistance. Be warned before you buy.

UPDATE: Well, a month after I sent the defective unit in, I received a TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND MUCH CHEAPER UNIT in return. I am now on my THIRD phone call with these idiots and have yet to talk to someone who can resolve this problem. The right person is "not in the office" and will "call me back." HAH!! They NEVER call back. I wish I had never heard of these people.

I've owned this humidifier for a couple of months now. The features that I like best about it are: it regulates the ambient humidity (i.e. the unit has a humidity sensor for the room) when it reaches the desired level it automatically stops the mist; also it gives you an indication when the unit needs to be cleaned (pretty simple process); and most important the unit stops when there's not enough water (again a little indicator flashes for your attention) furthermore, the unit is very well designed and has a very contemporary look highly recommended!

I have been using wick-based humidifiers for the past few years in the bedroom. Last year I noticed every morning when I woke and I used the humidifier, I was constantly congested. I stopped using it and looked for another type, leery of vaporizer types because of past experience with white dust.

I found this AOS 7142....pricey, and I was worried about white dust...but I liked the concept of the silver bar to inhibit bacteria growth and the demineralization cartridge to minimize dust.

I have been very impressed so far. No lung congestion. No white dust....I live in the Dallas area.

Pros: effective, silent, maintained 600 ft bedroom at 50%; choice of warm mist (I think this setting works better, but more $$ to operate) or cold mist, styling, controls, full tank at full blast lasted about 14 hours.

Cons: filling water tank; it has a handle to carry water container back to unit, but none on the other side to hold the container when filling it....and it gets heavy. Plus the container cannot stand by itself upside down and tips over.

If it wasn't for this latter design flaw, I would give it 5 stars, but good enough to make me buy another one for my home office.

Honest reviews on Air-O-Swiss 32838 Ultrasonic Humidifier

A very good humidifier, but with a couple of flaws. Very quiet, pumps out lots of warm mist at close to the 3.5 gal/day quoted rate. As such, the tank needs to be filled 2x daily if used full bore in a larger room. As with any ultrasonic humidifier that I've used, filling the tank can be cumbersome and, as some have pointed out, this tank has no flat surface to rest it on, making it unstable. But ignore comments about leaking, placement, etc. because they have NOTHING to do with the model, but more the style of humidifier (ultrasonic). Flaws: more white dust than usual with hard water because the filter has a design flaw. The washer seal on the tank plunger is supposed to double as a filter "anti-bypass" seal, but allows water to bypass the filter (it's undersized). Also, the humidity controller "hunts" on and off when the setpoint is reached, rapidly turning the mist on and off very annoying in the middle of the night. (For you engineers, there is no "hysteresis" in the control loop.) To avoid this, you need to raise the humidity setpoint higher than desired and lower the fan speed to keep the room level fairly constant, essentially turning the humidifier into a manual control model. (So why spend $200 for the fancy controls?) All in all, it pumps out humidity, it's easy to clean, it's very quiet, it's relatively easy to fill, the humidity is nice and warm (and doesn't freeze out the room), my throat no longer croaks in the morning, and my eyes aren't fused shut. BTW, we live in bone dry Colorado with forced hot air, and the unit is in a ~600 sq. ft BR with a 15' ceiling and adjoining master bath. It does the job nicely if run constantly. I would imagine that the reports about hard water being a big problem are right on. Still, for us: 4 stars.

This humidifier is great for programing humidity, fan speed, sleep mode, etc.

BUT IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER DO NOT BUY IT. It puts out white dust that will go all over your house. I have three Sharper Image Ionic breezes, on two floors of my house. I had to clean them every day and they were covered with white dust. Besides that; my furnature , TV screen, etc.were covered with white dust within two days. I buought a Honeywell with a exchangable filter that uses vapor rather than mist to humidify the air. This works great. Very little white dust. Half the cost.

Discount Mabis Steam Inhaler

Wonderful inhalation steamer for sinus conditions. I have been plagued with bad chronic sinus conditions for the past 16 years and have been miserable. Four surgeries and still problems. Countless antibiotics, steroid sprays and tablets, etc. Daily treatments morning and evening with the Mabis and the use of NeilMed sinus rinse saline packets has finally given me my life back to a quite productive state again. The Mabis puts out the very necessary copious amounts of steam where other steamers I have owned have failed. The key is that the Mabis concentrates the steam where necessary, into the nasal passages via the small nasal mask. However, it would be an improvement if Mabis would provide a nasal adapter (such as nebulizers have)that directs the steam straight into the nostrils instead of the the small mask which allows the steam to affect the entire nose area. The angled chimney of the inhaler makes it easier to use. However, it too could be improved by the use of a flexible tube or at least have a little more angle so the unit can be easier to use while sitting upright instead of having to hunch over. They should also include more than one misting orifice because saline mixes and hard water will tend to clog the very tiny hole in the mister. Mabis does supply a small cleaning tool (a wire) to ream out a clogged orifice. If you have significant sinus trouble this unit is the best thing you will find. I have used several different devices including the KAZ (no longer made), Vicks (too little steam and not effective, facial type rather than a sinus device). Vicks vaporizer with use of a towel(works but is very hot and brutal on the face). I have used essential oils like cinnamon, clove, thyme, tea tree in the Kaz unit and obtained some relief but the Mabis and saline mix really has been the most beneficial. It doesn't cure anything but it sure brings some quality of life back. I can't recommend this device enough. It is very portable and can be easily packed and taken on trips. I used it in my van with an inverter on a recent long trip which was very convenient. I also use it in my sailboat. It utilizes a very small amount of water which makes it simple to use in a mobile fashion. It is easy to clean as well. I suffer 24/7 with chronic sinus, been to countless doctors, taken all types of meds, had multiple surgeries and this little machine at a tiny fraction of the cost has been a big player in my regaining some quality of life. The NeilMed sailine packets are convenient and work well with the unit, I use about a third of a packet with each Mabis session. I have no interest whatsoever with Neilmed. It's just a convenient sailine product I found at the drugstore and it has helped, so you should know about it. The Mabis is the best steamer you will ever use, don't waste your $$$ on the other feeble steamers like I did.

I had another steam inhaler some years ago, a Kaz TheraSteam. I have problems with my sinuses, and it didn't help much. I have spent years, and some money, on attempting solutions to my sinus problem, with insufficient success. It's been getting better over the years, but every now and then I still wake up after 5 or 6 hours of sleep and can't fall back asleep unless I inhale steam -a hot shower sometimes works, but it basically means getting up and being up for a while, which is no help if it's less than a two hours before the time I'm supposed to get up anyway.

I was shopping for a new humidifier, and not finding much, when it occurred to me that there might be a better steam inhaler than the one I used to have. I came to Amazon and looked around, and decided on the Mabis. I am glad I did! This item definitely does the job, giving off copious amounts of hot wet steam, which is the perfect remedy for my dry burnt-feeling sinuses. You can even adjust it for the kind of steam you want!

My only quibble is that it says in the instructions that the operating time is 6-9 minutes; it seems to be closer to around 15, which is OK with me. The main thing is that, because of this device, I've gotten some sleep that I otherwise would have missed.

The design of the inhaler is revolutionary. I found it easy to use and it has done a wonderful job for me. I use it with the attached aromatherapy chamber. It's doing an excellent job of relieving my allergies. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this unit to friends and family. I had a question for customer service. I called the toll free number and received courteous and prompt service. You won't be sorry with your purchase.

Honest reviews on Mabis Steam Inhaler

I was worried about reading the lack of steam by another reviewer but most reviewers seemed happy with it, so I bought it. Using plain tap water (our Maryland water is hard), the inhaler made strong, gentle, steady steam in less than 45 seconds. The steam lasted about 9 minutes before it decreased.

I would like to have the steam last longer but as it was with trying to breath as fast and as deeply as I could, I was almost hyperventilating in the 9 minutes. The unit has to cool down before you can add more water and you are warned not to over-fill the unit.

The mask is made of a soft, flexible plastic so it was comfortable. I found it easiest just to hold the unit to my face, since resting it on a tissue box caused me to have to bend down. You will probably need an extension cord, since the cord is not very long (if you are using a wall outlet) although if you are using a higher bathroom outlet, it would be fine.

It was very easy to fill open white top, unscrew lid, add measured water, put back together, and turn on. The only little complaint is you should disassemble the pieces and let them dry, so I have had to leave the unit in pieces on a towel to dry for a day.

I have always hated using the old fashioned method of putting my head over boiling water with a towel to breath in the steam. This was much nicer and my face didn't get hot or feel burned. I found this inhaler to be comfortable and convenient.

I had a cold and with using this unit three or four times, I didn't get a sinus infection and I think it helped the cold to be less severe and go away faster. I also rinse my sinuses with a Neti pot with a baking soda/salt solution and very warm water. I have used the Neti pot before and still got a sinus infection but this time with using the steam inhaler, I didn't.

For people with sinus problems, allergies, or prone to cold, I do think using a Neti pot to rinse your sinuses is very helpful. I read about it in a "Sinus Survival" book and my good friend said she hasn't had a sinus infection in years since she started using a Neti Pot every day. I only use the Neti pot when there is a lot of pollen, after yard work, been with lots of people (especially sick ones), when I have a stuffy nose or feel "something" coming on.

Having used both this and Vicks inhalers, I lean in favor of Vicks.

This unit generates lots of visible fine mist, mixed with actual steam. I suspect this is what prompted some users to comment on how much steam this unit generates. I admit the possibility that this may be the optimal approach to some medical applications, but I think for chronic sinus problems what you need is the actual steam. Vicks produces more steam, which is invisible, and no mist. This unit's design is convoluted and in some aspects just plain bizarre (in-line power switch for example). Adding water, regulating mist size all these functions are inconveniently designed and awkward to accomplish.

So it gets the job done, but in the hindsight I wish I got another Vicks.

Cheap Air Innovations Clean Mist Digital Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

The item I purchased was listed as a "new" item, however this was clearly not the case and had been used/returned by someone else. Since I recently purchased this exact machine from another vendor, and this was a second unit I purchased I am well aware that this was not new as the plastic was all removed, the styrafoam was missing and the parts were all rattling in the box. Further the unit had already been partially assembled and had water spots inside the water resevoir so it was obvious that it had been used. The unit works fine, however when I purchase a product that claims to be new rather than used I expect to receive a new unit. Because of that I am only giving this two stars for false advertising by the vendor.

Ask any new mom what their favorite baby product is and they will have a impassioned review of an item that 'saved' them during the those bleary first few months. For some, its the fancy breast pump that at first seemed too expensive and later became the cherished gateway for a few hours rest. For others, its the mechanical swing that allowed them to do some laundry or eat a meal. For me, its the Bare Naked Boppy. A pillow for breast feeding? Oh it's not just for breast feeding. Sure, it provides the perfect little platform to rest your tiny one while she eats. It frees up you hands to do such essential 4 am activities as flipping channels looking for something that isn't an infomercial on TV. The boppy is an appendage, a constant companion. Its good for a million uses, most of which are clearly warned against on the label. Most of all the boppy is part of the ritual of feeding that I found so helpful in establishing breast feeding. The bare naked version allows you to easily wash the cover. The only way I would improve this product is to install a pocket that holds extra burp clothes so you dont have to go running for one in a pinch.

I nursed my son with the original Boppy for a year. Yes, it is wonderful and everything the other reviewers said. However, my issue is that it begins to "bend" in the middle from use. Really, this is fine...I mean a year of nursing is going to be hard on any pillow. But my main complaint is that the covers they make for these things are NOT waterproof (or spit-up proof). What is the point of a cover? I had to wrap my entire Boppy in saran wrap, then put the cover on to get any protection nd prevent smelly stains. just my two cents.

I was thrilled to receive this at my baby shower but when the baby arrived and it was time to start using it, I was a bit let-down. I am tall and had to hunch over to nurseafter a short while this became extremely hard on my back. I had a C-section with my daughter and this pillow put more strain on my back and abdomen than I could take. My husband and I still use it, but we have to stuff pillows underneath it to prop up the sides. Also, the cover I wanted cost the same as the pillow25.00! I hate when companies exploit their customers by charging ridiculous sums of money for pretty basic goods. I know by now though that peopleincluding my selfwill spend any amount of money on anything having to do with babies.

Honest reviews on Boppy Bare Naked Pillow

I completely agree with the review posted by the user: "Jacob's Momma." The Boppy is NOT the ideal pillow for nursing, but it is good for letting my baby lie on to rest/sleep and as a support pillow for burping my baby in a sitting position. For a good nursing pillow, get "My Brest Friend." I got the Boppy first, and it is too soft to support my baby for nursing. It also constantly slips away from me, and my baby tends to slip between me and the Boppy. For these reasons, my back felt strained when I used the Boppy for nursing. Then, I bought "My Brest Friend" and it worked great -all the problems that I just mentioned were solved -it's firm and supportive, and it also "locks" around my waist so it won't slip. Check out the reviews for "My Brest Friend" before buying the Boppy as a nursing pillow. Final FYI: I've seen the Boppy sold at Ross for $19.99 and that includes a fleece cover, so keep an eye out for it if you want a bargain.

I had the old version of the boppy with my first born and hated it! I had problems with the fit around my waist ( I am a size 10/12) and there was not enough stuffing in the pillow to prop my daughter up to my breast to eat. I had received the new version of the boppy from my mother and decided to give the new version with the 'fits all waists' middle a try. The pillow looked thicker than the old version and it felt like a better fit around my middle. My son is now 14 days old and I have used this pillow everyday to feed him. This pillow does everything that the old version had promised.

List Price: $94.60
Sale Price: $70.58
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I've had this unit for 2 winters and overall I have to say we like it. It does a decent job of keeping the humidity up in the house during the winter months. There are two drawbacks that I can see with the unit.

First, it's expensive to run, essentially you're boiling water to make steam with electricity. That takes a decent amount of electric. Here in Western Pennsylvania, electric rates are pretty average for the country so I am guessing you're looking at $25 a month to run the unit.

Next, the canisters are ridiculously expensive. They run between $60 and $80 each. The first time I replaced one, I could help but feel ripped off when I saw a plastic bottle with basically a piece of metal and two wires. Aprilaire is careful to seal the canisters so you can't open them up and clean them and use them over again. I have city water and 1 canister lasts me an entire winter, your mileage may vary.

A word of caution, trying to run the unit for an extended amount of time with a dirty canister would use a lot more electricity than the unit normally uses. The unit would have to heat the dirty elements in the canister and well as heating the water.

This year when the warning light came on the replace the canister, it was close to the end of the heating season so I just turned my unit off. I didn't see any purpose in installing a fresh canister to let it sit dirty all summer and hope it was clean enough to use next winter.

If you have especially hard water, I would think twice about getting this unit until someone comes out with an aftermarket consider that fits.

If you're just getting your unit installed, talk to the installer about hooking up 220 to the unit. This extra power gives better steam generation and in the long run could save you some money. If they have to run a whole bunch of wiring to get the 220 hooked up, it's probably not worth it but if the power is near buy, I'd certainly consider it.

I have tried other products in my humidor, most recently the Ice Gel. It was a pain because I had to remove a level of my humidor because of it's height and it did not keep the humidity up enough. This humidifier works great! All I had to do was add distilled water and it keeps my Humidor right at 72%. I would highly recommend this.

This is an excellent product. It comes with 2, 1.5" peel and stick magnets and stainless steel peel and stick matching squares. they stick tight and after 6 months of use (2 upside down in the lid of my 300 count humidor) they're still tight. They are easy to remove and fill. they hold a ton of liquid. For best results just make sure to use a 50/50 solution of distilled water and glycerin. Otherwise you'll be refilling them much more often, and they'll give more consistant moisture. It would be helpful to pick up a cheap coresponding funnel at your local dollar store. Another good tip is to install them to they very back of the lid if you intend on using them upside down. That way they'll stay put for sure. Peel and stick the magnets to the back of the plastic first, then put the steel squares on, then peel the paper off the metal and press firmly in place. You can't go wrong with this product!

First off, I bought this because it looked nice and had a filler cap.

The item i received looks cheesy and is all black with no gold. The seams on the sides also leak so you have to shake it out after adding water so that water doesn't drip on the wood in your humidor. they should have fused the pieces together but it appears that it just snaps together. any water in the bottom just runs out. I have thrown mine away because it is worthless.

Also, the adhesive magnetic squares didn't hold to the wood on humidor even though i left them attached for a few days before attaching the humidifier.

i recommend you look elsewhere.
