Holmes® HM2610-U Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

Customer Ratings:

We have two small children at home, so having a humidifier is a must for us. Before we purchased this Holmes model, we tried 3 others. A budget one, a child oriented one (in the shape of a character) and a premium one (around $130). This humidifier easily beats all 3 hands down for quality, durability, easy of use and most especially, how we will preforms.

It is easy to use and fill...just pick it out of the base with the easy handle, fill it up and set it back. Also easy to turn on and set.

The box said that it will last 24 hours on low, but we have found that it will actually last much longer (about 2 days on low), though we normally set it on a higher setting (somewhere a little above medium).

The unit is almost completely silent! Unline other humidifiers we have tried, both the vaporizer and blower are definitely powerful enough (where in others we have found that one or the other is under-sized for the unit).

The mist is refreshing and smooth. And no replacemenmt filters, which is a huge benefit too.

I am not one to give 5 stars out easily, but this one certainly deserves it! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone with a medium to larger size room (or even a smaller room on low). You will definitely be pleased!

I like everything about this unit, except the tank is a bit difficult to hold and carry once it's filled. It works very well, so far!

I and my husband love it, it has helped us sleep like babies....or better actually. Helped cut down on the dried out sinuousness.

Honest reviews on Holmes® HM2610-U Ultrasonic Humidifier

I bought this humidifier because I already own another one of these in a similar model and I really like it. I cant say the same for this one. It spits water all over the counter and is noisy. I placed it on my kitchen counter and I can hear a humming sound in the bedroom about 25 feet away. The other model I own has a moveable nozzle for positioning the mist. This one doesn't. I wish I had sent it back.

So we bought this for my 4 month old baby who has been having bloody noses at night; our doctor recommended buying a humidifier for her and this is the one we chose. For the price we paid, its good. The thing you have to remember with this one is that it has no filter. I don't know how it "cleans" the air but it does work. The big thing with it having no filter is that if you use regular tap water the things in the room might have a layer of dust or something on them. I don't exactly know how to describe the stuff that the humidifier leaves behind but it does. You can feel it whenever you touch something in close proximity of the humidifier.

When you first open the box, you notice a couple tablets in the box. They are suppose to go in the cap and it is suppose to put a scent into the air. They only last for maybe a couple hours. The tablets disintegrate quickly.

Overall, If you are looking for a cheap buy this would be it. It works great and I haven't had any problems with it yet. It ran probably 24 hours a day on full blast for 3 months straight.

Received these turbine vent caps and they were just as described. Used them to Cover the turbine bases (4) for winter. Made this task super easy!

The product shipped quickly. I removed my turbine vents and these covers fit snugly right over the standpipes. The same screws and holes that held the turbines in place hold these covers in place. The turbine vents represented a fire hazard here in a wild-land fire zone. Now no sparks can blow in through the vents. Surprisingly the temperature in the unit did not change that much.

Review of Vapor-Eze Vaporizer / Aromatherapy Unit

Customer Ratings:

I love this unit because I don't have to worry about mold.

I like that you can change the oils in the pads for different fragrances.

Lavender for sleep, lemon for energy, eucalyptus for congestion, etc.

This is a great product.

I was looking for something to help my one year old breathe better at night and I didn't want to keep refilling a humidifier. This was the perfect thing for him. It helps to clear his stuffy nose pretty well. I only gave it four stars because I wish it would last longer. He sleeps about 10-12 hours a night and the scent pads stop working before that. Otherwise, it is a great product. I've been using it with the universal refill oil and pads every night for about a month, and it still works!

Honest reviews on Vapor-Eze Vaporizer / Aromatherapy Unit

Hi I just saw the post about fires and called the company. I spoke with Steve Powers the owner. The current owner bought it in 2006 and completely rebuilt the vaporizer. Added 3 new safety features, TCL switch, ceramic casings, all kinds of technical stuffs. He has never had any problems with fire or hazardous malfunctions since the rebuild of the product. He said he has had 3 returns for various reasons since 2006. Thats a pretty darn good track record. He was very helpful and had alot of information for me. Nice to see someone who is proud of his product and stands behind it 100%. I bought this product for my 18month old for congestion and been using the eucalyptus pads and they have worked great! I am very impressed with the product. This is a great American product and I am happy to support a home-grown business.

This works great in my dry stuffy hot office. I have sinus problems so I will occasionally lean over this and breath in through my nose to bet some moisture back into my sinuses. That said the area around this thing WILL get damp. Ideally you can place it high and let the mist fall and dissipate, but for me the cord wasn't long enough. Not bad, but not perfect.

January 3rd, 2013: Update. No longer works. Makes a lot of noises but water will no longer come out of the top of the device. I tried cleaning it, submerging the cotton piece for 5 minutes, and still nothing. Now its just a whistling piece of plastic.

This was a great little purchase. I use it in my hotel when traveling during the winter. Start it up when I check in, run for the full two hours, then set up again to run all night in the 8hr mode. Perfect! No more dry nose. Just be careful to pack it neatly, and do not mess with the top flapper. I have been extremely careful with this device and am very pleased.

I purchased this mini-Humidifier and although it did arrive in a timely fashion, it only lasted 3 days before it would no longer humidify. It worked nicely for the 3 days that it worked properly. I believe you can send the product back, but I figured that it would be a waste of time and that trying something different might be a better option. At least the light still works.

Review of Starting Small Novelty Hamper

This is adorable. Can hold about three loads of laundry. Quality appears fine by my eyes. Be CAREFUL when opening the package. I almost lost an eyeball!!

This hamper is definitely bigger than most baby hampers. It fits a lot of baby laundry. The top is completely open and the sides are made of mesh. I really liked this hamper, but unfortunately I had to throw it out because my dog could smell the dirty laundry through the mesh and tried to eat through the mesh every day. It is super cute and I would definitely recommend this hamper. Be careful when you first open it up out of the package, it opens up very fast! make sure you stand back.

Some of the hampers I looked at were actually rather small when you looked at the dimensions, but this is about the size of a standard pop-up hamper. It does have 4 plastic rods instead of being all wire (you'd have to take these out to fold it back up into that little circle) but since I have no intention of folding it up except for moving that's not an issue. I like that it's more of a rectangle shape and I can slide it sideways if I need it to take up a little less wall space.

Got this home and the hubby was putting in the support rods and the hamper ripped. The material does seem thin and cheap. I really loved the look and the size ( I was actually going to use it for storing diapers). I reluctantly returned it.

I bought this product for my son. He's eight years old and suffers from allergies. He woke up every morning sneezing, and with a stuffy nose. I was looking for an alternative to giving him allergy medication every day. We keep it on the desk, right next to his bed. It's incredibly quiet and it has helped his allergies a lot. After about a month of constant use on the medium setting, I vacuumed the filter. It was filty. I was very impressed with how much dust it pulled from the air.

Our daughter has allergies and we've tried several different air purifiers. This is by far the best we've tried. It is much quieter than others, compact size, the filter is permanent, and it works great. We are getting another one for another room.

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach True Air Allergen Reducer

Wanted a small appliance like this air purifier to use in seperate bedrooms to stop dust/pollen/dander/dust mite poop or whatever debris lingers in the air from being inhaled during my loved ones sleep, this one works great and appears to really remove debris from the air. I am sure that higher priced air purifiers with expensive replacement filters work much better but we did not want to pay $$$ plus $$ for replacement filters three or four times a year.

On low the fan can barely be heard, medium is like a normal fan noise and is not bothersome at all (all of us stated we actually enjoy this white background noise), high would be too loud for most sleepers. Each of us that has one in their bedroom merely turns it on high an hour before bed, then turn it to medium for actual sleep time.

Can be layed on its side or stood straight up which is a nice choice to have based upon personal preference.

Filter is easy to remove and clean, just wish HB would have made the material surrounding the filter a bit more sturdy as it is just thin cardboard so you have to be careful not to damage it when cleaning. I use the brush attachment on my vacuum cleaner and it works great. I highly doubt this filter would be permanent like HB claims after many repeated cleanings so we expect to replace it every couple of years just for good measure!

Overall I gave it 5 stars but it surely would not compete with a much more expensive winix or austinaire, regardless, IMHO, it is an exceptional value for the price.

Edited to add: FYI, to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of this unit, go to a Lowe's or Home Depot type store and purchase a sheet (hammock filter) of the 3M filtrete filters (about $18 bucks, the good ones, the type used to put over window airconditioners to trap allergens/dust). Cut a square large enough to put above/over the permanent filter on this unit, the filtrete filter then takes most of the particles before it even hits this unit's permanent filter. I have done this for 4 months, it does not damage or negatively affect the unit's motor and you will be amazed how much stuff these little units take out of the air (with two filters, a filtrete one and the one that comes with the unit). Best part of all, after two months, merely discard the 3M homemade filter and replace it with a new cut-out. I also discovered that I can merely lightly tap the unit's permanent filter on a hard surface outside and it is ready to go for an other two months. I think you could get about 16-18 cut-outs per sheet at $18 per sheet, it is enough to last 32-36 months (approx 6 dollars a year).

I received my item (though late, Thanks Amazon), and apparently all my research into an air cleaner has paid off. This little guy does exactly what it says and works like a charm.

Here's why I bought it. I wanted an air cleaner for a medium to small sized room where I keep my cat's litter box. Normally, it doesn't smell, but about the day it's time to change it, I can smell it. Now, I don't want to smell it ever, though I keep my kitty box schedule in tact. Anyway, this air cleaner is so quiet on Whisper Mode that I literally cannot hear it. I even put it in my roommate's bedroom, just to see if she realized it was in there, before moving it to its final destination. She had no clue.

The model has 3 speeds, but the Whisper Mode is fine for continuous daily use. Sure, you can turn it up, and you'll hear it's low whirrrrrr, but that's to be expected.

Another reason I bought it is that it IS a HEPA quality cleaner. But I don't have to buy replacement filters--ever. This one has a "permanent" filter, which I didn't even know existed. To clean it, it says about once every 6 months to just use your hose and brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner and suck it out. Really? That's awesome! Why don't ALL HEPA filters do this. That feels like such a waste. I'm not allergic to anything, but my purpose for this is to keep the area near my kitty box smelling like air, and not horrid ammonia. Cats are so gorgeous, but like newborn babies, they sure can produce some of the foulest smells!

So: I am in love with this baby. Thanks Hamilton Beach!

Reviews of Crane Warm Steam Vaporizer, 1 Gallon

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Not too noisy, slight gurgling sound. I would say its closer to hot than warm within a couple of inches from the vent. I wouldn't want to use this in a young child's room where they could potentially get to it. A full tank lasted through the night, approximately 7 hours with some water in left in the tank.

Filling the tank is easy but it does get heavy when full so it's best if you don't have to carry it too far. Cleaning was simple empty the tank as much as possible, wipe out the interior and then letting it air dry.

Overall it works like a typical vaporizer.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This was just what the doctor ordered for a very unhappy and congested pregnant woman! The cheery yellow is pleasant to look at (and can appear to be rather art deco-ish), brightens the the room (and hopefully the mother-to-be's dispostion!), plus it matches the rubber duckie theme for the upcoming bambino's room. This helped so much in that first trimester when the sinuses went haywire and the doctors won't let you take ANYTHING for relief. This is a must have. They should issue one to the mom-to-be along with the results of the pregnancy test!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My house is so dry that I have to have a vaporizer in the winter to keep it humid enough so that my skin isn't peeling off. This worked great, was extremely affordable, and was the best investment I made.

Honest reviews on Crane Warm Steam Vaporizer, 1 Gallon

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When the furnace runs almost constantly in the winter then the air in my house gets static and dry. I have tried cool vaporizers in the past and they are probably the best bet when you have small children that might tip them over but I feel more comfortable since I started running a warm vaporizer.

This machine is great because it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap so it makes it easy to carry to fill it or clean it. It washes out nicely and easily and sits nice and stable on the bathroom counter top. Mine is yellow so I can't possibly miss it no matter where I put it. It holds a gallon and that lasts well over 12 hrs for me.

I have had no issues with it and really like that except for some low gurgles once in a while it is completely silent!

Honeywell Universal Carbon Pre-Filter 38002 (2-pack) by FUSA Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Update 5/6/2013:

After contacting the vendor and explaining my dis-satisfaction with the product that was initially delivered to me I was sent the correct OEM filters at no additional cost. The customer service representative I spoke with had been told and relayed to me that they had no control over the product photo that is displayed on the Amazon.com product page. However, at the time of this update, I noticed that the product photo HAS changed and is no longer one of the OEM product carton that I saw when placing my order. IMHO the description "Honeywell Universal Carbon Pre-Filter 38002 (2-pack) by FUSA" should be more forthcoming about the fact that this is an aftermarket product beyond the addition of "by FUSA" to the OEM like description.

Original Review:

I purchased this Carbon activated pre-filter from this vendor after comparing several similar listings on and off amazon.com. I made my selection based on the following criteria:

1.) I wanted OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts to keep my HEPA filter operating for it's full lifespan of 1-3 years as the replacement for that is **EXPENSIVE**.

2.) Multiple filters in box for value, sustainability, and convenience.

3.) Pricing and product number and description on vendor's web-site matched Honeywell's product guide and what is displayed on Amazon.com.

What I received was definitely not even close to OEM in design.

* The fibers of the material were much coarser and the build-up was thinner than the OEM one it replaced; this may allow for larger particles to pass thus quickly clogging my expensive HEPA filter.

* I had to trim away almost 40% of the filter to make it fit my HEPA filter. Lots of waste = not sustainable.

* It doesn't seem to remove odors from the air as well as the OEM pre-filter.

When purchasing a product that is not OEM the quality should always be viewed as suspect unless you have confidence in the source. The product that was shipped to me came in a box for a completely different filter model and type. The filters were shrink wrapped with only a generic warning sticker about how to safely discard the wrapper.

So you ask "if you knew it wasn't what you ordered why didn't you just return it?". Unless you are an allergy sufferer you can't appreciate the fact that adding another 10 days of suffering to you life is not an option. The cost versus benefit thoughts don't even enter your mind. This is exactly what unscrupulous vendors prey upon especially when it comes to products that consumers rely on for general health and relief (think about how convenience stores charge $3.00 or more for a package containing 2 aspirin).

Amazon.com needs to address these abuses of consumer trust or face the consequences of losing their "Domain Authority" in search engine results (this is partly because you may click on the amazon.com result first even though they don't float to the top of the non-paid "organic" results).

This is not my first amazon.com purchase and probably won't be my last but it has shaken my confidence with the marketplace company I thought I understood. Amazon.com has state-of-the-art warehouses all around the country that are used to expedite the delivery of many products. Why not list on their product pages or allow a filtering of results for items shipped from those locations and are verified to be what they are being marketed as?!?! I would actually pay them a fee with my purchase for doing such a service. Anyone!?!?
