I did a lot of searching for a product that would help curtail the white dust that is created by a humidifier. This does what it says it will, am very happy with the results. Our water is medium hard and this works great. We run the ultra sonic humidifier every night so is important to have this product which is made for the ultra sonic machines. Only a cap full per tank. I ordered 3 bottles of this, it was shipped VERY fast! I will reorder when I need more.

I bought a Sunbeam ultrasonic humidifier that works well except that it requires water treatment tablets in order to prevent scaling and a white film being intoduced into the room. The problem was that the tablets are almost impossible to find in stores or online. I bought this product, put two capfulls into the water tank and now there is no more scaling and no more white film on my furniture. Compared to the tablets its also a lot cheaper. No complaints on this one.

I bought this product to help reduce or eliminate the white dust caused by my ultrasonic humidifier. It is also supposed to help prevent buildup on the inner workings of the unit. I can't speak for the inside of the unit, but I can truly say it did not help with the white dust issue at all. I will either have to use distilled water or buy a new humidifier.

I am in CA & get the white dust when use the humidifier. Was optimistic about this, & it does help a little if you use double the amount, but didn't work as great as I'd hoped. The seller was great & shipped it very quickly, just not sure if there is a cure for white dust other than a filter humidifier.

I use ultrasonic humidifiers and lots of problems with white dust emissions and bacteria buildup and sometimes a "slime" getting deposited on things including my skin and hair! So while I treat my nasal allergies and blockages and breathing problems, I'm irritating my skin and scalp with all these deposits. I have tried every type of humidifier and always go back to Pure Guardian with a built-in silver filter. They produce a lot of white dust but using this treatment keeps the water sanitary so i get a lot less funky stuff on my skin. I use actually 3 caps in each tankful which is probably 3 times what they recommend, but we have a lot of dust and pet hair in our home being constantly filtered.

I also use the extra filter now for less dust that screws on to the cap of the water tank of the pure guardian which definitely reduces dust at least somewhat. And I always, always use this water treatment to keep the steam from getting "slimy". I don't mind dust nearly as much as that bacteria-ridden slime. And I find this to seem to be gentle enough to use in the Pure Guardian tank. It's also a huge help in other types of humidifiers that build up a lot of bacteria, and better for the machines than bleach.

I have used it all this winter and it did the trick. My wife was suffering from nose bleeds and cracked skin before we bought this and now she is fine. It holds enough water to only need changed about every other day. The lights that tell you when the resivour needs changed can be seen from across the room. I run mine at the lowest fan speed and it is like it isn't there when the TV is on. With the room quiet you know its there but it isn't annoying. I was dissapointed with the airfilter. It looks like one on a furnace and is loosley attached to the back. It's deffinitly not HEPA quality if thats what your looking for.

This is a big humidifier for adding moisture to several rooms or an entire house. My house is ~1800 sq feet and gets very dry in the winter. This humidifier did a nice job of adding a lot of moisture to the house before it died. Within the first year, the motor stopped working, and I had to send the entire motor unit in for repair. Then it died again---same problem with the motor failing. Very frustrating, and now I have a large piece of useless plastic. I would not recommend Essick/Bemis products because of very poor reliability.

Tropical is not a word that comes to mind when thinking about Boston in the winter (although, with the magic of global warming, it may not be so far off...). One thing that has been very difficult for us the past few years has been the dryness of the winter months with the associated dry nose, throat and eyes. We bought a Venta Airwasher and, I must confess, this is largely a waste of money. It's well-intentioned, but just didn't really add much moisture to the air. At the same time, the Venta was very expensive to buy and expensive to operate needing lots of additive. As one reviewer put it: "Holy mother of G*d! $439 and for what?!"

That about sums up our experience with the Venta...

So, as per usual I spent days and days reading about humidifiers and learning that, basically, they all have craptacular aspects, but a few emerged as really promising. One of them was the Vornado, which a friend has and enjoys. We really liked the design and the technology of this unit, but found that for a little bit more, we could pull trigger on the Bemis 4D7 800 Digital Evaporative Humidifier w/ AirCare® Filter. The main differences we could see were that the Bemis had a bigger capacity for taking care of our whole house basically in the same way as the Vornado, and with a few added features:

* Disperse up to 13 gallons of water per day over 2700 square feet of space.

* Holds up to 5.5 gallons of water.

* Continuously variable fan speed setting with quiet night-time setting.

* Digital Control Panel

* Automatic humidistat maintains optimum humidity level.

* Removable power pack simplifies cleaning.

* Concealed control panel maintains the clean, smooth lines of the unit.

So, I hooked it up and put it in our foyer and it seems to be doing a good job. It's a nice machine, pretty clean lines and goes well with the house. It is BIG, however, and it's like having a radiator in that room now, but the space was sort of dead anyways, so it's no great loss. One key thing, however, is that, just like the Vornado, it makes the GLUG GLUG GLUG sound from time to time, which is taking some getting used to...

In my search, NO humidifier is perfect--they all have a number of flaws. This unit seems to be among the best in that it does a good job adding humidity to the air (but not over-doing it as some complain with warm-mist humidifiers) and is fairly easy to clean. In sum, this is an excellent humidifier that is well-made and does its job admirably. Recommended.

I bought this item direct from Amazon on January 25, 2008. The electric motor failed on Feb. 5, 2009. The unit has a one year parts warranty.

Although I live in an implied warranty state, I didn't bother trying to get it fixed as I bought it with an AMEX card, so I am eligible for a refund. At least one other manufacturer Moistair offers a two year warranty on the motor and a one year warranty on other parts. That's what I will get with my AMEX refund check.

the product is pretty cheaply built; but actually works great....pumps lots of moisture into the air. downside...it is very noisy; so much in fact i run it only on speed 1 (it has 9 speeds). the noise is not only just fan noise, but the fan motor is very noisy as well. i'm very unhappy with the noise level; but haven't found anything better regarding moisture output. i also have two smaller hunter units which are almost impossible to hear; too bad hunter doesn't make a larger model...i buy it in a second.

SPT Polar Bear Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

I already have a Hello Kitty Crane type Humidifier and almost got another but decided to get this Polar Bear one instead. I'm glad I got this one for my bedroom since it's about half the size of Hello Kitty and is easy to refill (a bit more easier than Hello Kitty).

It's not heavy as the HK one can get and it's easier to clean too. On the Medium setting (which would be halfway to to the MAX settingsince there's no actual words printed on the unit, just dots), it lasted for almost 3 days straight on a full tank and then it turned off automatically when empty. It works really well even though it's smaller.

Hello Kitty does not turn off like this one does when the tank is empty, the HK stays on with a red light glowing. This one really does turn off and doesn't keep using your electricity like the HK one does.

Plenty of steam comes from the nose of the bear on MAX but the things near it will get wet easily fairly quickly. I recommend the Medium setting and you'll get the best output for moisture that isn't too much or too little. Plus it'll last for days (2 days and a half or so for me and even though the tank isn't real big, it lasts a long while more than the HK one. It's really nice not have to refill so often).

Hello Kitty has a soft blue night light feature, but it does get a little hot at the base. No fire issues for me though and I've had mine for years.

The Polar Bear's base gets warm but it's no where near hot and when it turns off due to an empty tank, it really does turns off (unlike HK which stays on and continues to be hot at the base).

I get sinusitis often due to polyps so this humidifier is a must for me. I sleep better because of it.

This unit is probably the safest option/version for your kids since it doesn't get heated like the Crane ones (I do like the Crane units except for the heat issue).

I highly recommend this Polar Bear. It's blue and white and very cute/charming with the bear having a clear blue tummy. (The HK model is hard to see the water level unless you turn on the night light and it's dark in the room.)

I'm thinking of buying another for my sister. Just wish it had a night light feature like the Hello Kitty one does. Thank you for reading my review :)

I bought this in April 2011 and I'm having to send it in for warranty work already. When it works, it's awesomemy son loves it, it's helped tremendously with his dry skin, it's not incredibly noisy so he's able to sleep just fine with it on. After a few months of nightly use, it started making a loud buzzing noise intermittently. When this would happen, the mist output decreased significantly. It's been getting progressively worse, to the point that we haven't used it at all for the last 3-4 months. I finally e-mailed Sunpentown after going through all the troubleshooting steps, and they said it's probably the nebulizer. It's still under the 1 year manufacturer's warranty, so I'll be sending it to them in the next few days. My only complaint is that they don't pay shipping both ways (only return shipping), but I think that's pretty typical of most companies.

I'm quite pleased with the SPT Polar Bear Ultrasonic Humidifier. I've been using it for several weeks with NYC tap water and so far, no white dust. A full tank of cold water lasts for about 1.5 days on the highest setting, three days on the lowest. My skin had been quite itchy because the winter air is drying it out but after a few hours on high, the itchiness was relieved to a certain degree, and even more so after a day with the humidifier on.

Cleaning is not difficult but it is kind of a pain. I am running a 1:1 vinegar and water solution through it as I type, and washed the tank stopper with diluted bleach. It's probably a good idea to occasionally swish a little bleach solution in the base as well though I haven't yet done this.

I took off a star in my rating because the mist seems to go straight down and doesn't dissipate before reaching the floor while on the medium setting and while sitting on a 22"h table. So I put it on a plastic shoe box and placed it right in front of my Honeywell 17005 QuietCare HEPA Air Purifier's exhaust, which aims upward. With the shoe box, it now sits about 27" from the floor and the mist evaporates completely before it ever reaches the floor. I also just discovered it doesn't even need the air purifier's help because it sits high enough now.

As to noise, well, it's just about noiseless. It's not completely silent but honestly, you'd have to be standing with your face in the mist to hear anything. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend the SPT Polar Bear Ultrasonic Humidifier to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive (I paid thirty four bucks for mine) simple but effective solution to dry air in his/her home/office.

*****UPDATE February 20, 2013*****

I am still quite pleased with this humidifier. Mine is still very quiet and if not for the indicator light and the mist, I'd never know it was on. No white dust despite never using distilled water in it, and a tankful of water lasts for about two days on medium.

I do have an issue with cleaning the inside of the tank, especially after it's been running nonstop for a week; the reservoir gets kind of scummy after a week or two without a proper scrub and airing-out. The opening through which to fill the tank is off to one side and there is no way to reach the other side of the reservoir with anything except maybe a pipe cleaner. I've taken to vigorously shaking hot water around in it with the valve on and then leaving it filled with bleach water overnight before doing another hot water rinse, then letting it air dry for another night. This process takes me a weekend to do, which I don't mind much but is a real pain in the bum. I really wish this little humidifier was easier to clean because it otherwise works beautifully.

Best 325 Bionaire Electret Humidifier Replacement Filter Deals

Customer Ratings:

Realize when you buy this, that this filter is not made by Bionaire. It is adequate, and it fits the Bionaire Clear-Mist humidifier, but it is a cheap-looking filter, as opposed to the Bionaire filter that came with the humidifier. In my opinion, it is too expensive for what it is.

This filter is way too expensive. Vornado must live by the razor blade business model sell air filter units for cheap (well, not really) but charge obscene amounts for replacement filters.

Pro tip: Buy the Filtrete Maximum Allergen Reduction 18x24 inch filter from the local hardware store. Cut/snip it in half and you get 2 filters for this Vornado for 1/5 the price per use. The cut edge won't be completely flush due to the corrugation, but some careful pressing/flattening on that edge will make it work.

It's spring time, which equates to allergy time, so it was important for me to ensure that our Vornado air purifier was geared up to handle the pollen. I was so relieved to find that this HEPA filter were still being sold, since the actual air purifier unit has been discontinued ... thanks Amazon for making it easy to find! easy to order, and quick to ship. I've installed it and it's working as expected.

Honest reviews on Vornado AQS 25/35 Replacement HEPA Filter

The Hepa filter does not last 2 years as Vornado claims. I checked mine today (located in a small bedroom) after only 6 months and it is completely black and clogged. I also replace the carbon pre-filter much more often than Vornado recommends. The pre-sorb filter is supposed to last 2-3 months and I have to change it at least once a month. I guess that means it is doing its job, but consumers should be aware that it is expensive to maintain because of the need for frequent replacements.
