These panels fit perfectly in both the fan driven and passive humidifiers in our home. They are identical in appearance to the branded items at the local home improvement stores and work perfectly at a price that eliminates any reluctance to change them out whenever. Water in warm air is an obvious mold environment, so I am inclined to change them out fairly frequently. We also have fairly hard water (recently dealt with via a softener) and the pads stood up to the mineralization as well as any pad from local retailers. No leaks and no issues. Perfectly adequate product. I have no hesitation recommending it. One suggestion clean the plastic frame diligently to remove any mineral or bacterial contaminants and these will show little of either for a respectable period of time thereafter.

The quality is good and is what I expected. I would buy it again. It fit my furnace humidifier and I did not have to modify it.

Easy install (did it myself) and bought an extra or 2 for the future. I ruined the previous filter by accidentally "washing off" the coating on the filter.... That isn't "build up" or hard water deposits left from use, it is supposed to be there to help with the water absorb and distribute the water to the humidifier more evenly. Don't do what I did...

This is good if you broke your hose or lost your brush. Even if you dont need the other items included you'll likely need them at some point, no harm in having spares right?

The Divinci straws ALWAYS fall apart. This was an invaluable replacement pack for a friend who had screwed the straw on too tight and then broke the straw trying to get it off. Thanks. Super fast shipping and as described.

This is the best price currently available for this set of DaVinci accessories, which tend to be overpriced most places. Only problem with this buy was the mail, and its slowness It took many many days (10+) to get here via USPS, going by the date on the label. This was the only non-performing part of the deal.

When I received it and put it in my daughters room no steam would come out, I contacted the company and the responded right away and I had a new with in a few days and it works great. I gave 5 stars not only for the product but also for the customer service, they weren't like some companies I have dealt with either giving you the run around or never respond, they were very apologetic and took care of it right away.

I AM USING THIS TO HUMIDIFY A LARGE CABINET TYPE HUMIDOR. IT IS A WELL MADE UNIT WITH EASY TO USE CONTROLS AND HAS HELPED ME TO SEASON THIS HUMIDOR AND KEEPS THE HUMIDITY EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT. EASY TO SET UP AND VERY QUIET WHEN THE FANS ARE RUNNING. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS UNIT.

the one i bought is 10-11% off the correct humidity. i don't have to use a "salt" test to calibrate as i checked it against a Fluke 971 humidity meter (i am an HVAC contractor). the fluke meter also jives with two other hygrometers. the Hydra only gives you a little adjustment to their so called factory calibration. in my case it isn't enough to get it back to a correct number. i am increasing the set point to account for the lack of calibration. this is a pricey fan unit that sits atop some cheap floral sponge material. the concept is cool. the goods are cheap.

hope this helps

I have revised this review from a previous version.

I had initially given this unit 1 star, I have revised it up to 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars, but the power plug for my unit arrived defective.

I was initially put off by the cheap construction and materials, as well as the kludgy method by which it is powered. The build quality is cheap, especially considering the price of this unit. It does not have the metal construction of the Moist-n-aire. The electronics are simple enough, so given the build quality and the simplicity of the device, I can't say that the price can be justified. Especially given that they call this their Commercial Series. The device is powered using a ribbon cable that is connected, on one end, to the box/unit, and on the other to an intermediate connector which allows for the standard DC plug to connect. Oddest power arrangement I have ever seen.

Given the build and design quality, I reserved my judgement until I had actually used it.

I plugged the unit in, and it fired up. Roughly 5 minutes later, it stopped working. As best as I could tell the DC power plug has stopped working, so I found another 12V 1ma DC power converter and plugged the unit in. It worked, and has worked ever since. I have a tall 2,000 cigar cabinet, and maxed out this unit does a really good job of sustaining 70% RH.

Before I fixed the unit, I ordered a Moist-n-Aire, but I am not rushing to replace this unit with the Moist-n-Aire just yet. I am going to see how it does in the longer run and keep the solid metal construction Moist-n-Aire as a backup.

Honest reviews on HYDRA-LG Commercial Series Electronic Humidifier

I have heard a lot of great things about the hydra lg. I already had a hydra sm in a 300 ct humidor and had no problems. The lg has been nothing but trouble though. I got it a month ago, for a 3,000 ct 16 cubit ft tower humidor, and it has not kept the humidity at all. The built in hygrometer is obviously wrong. It reads 75% rh when it is only 55% rh. I can't recalibrate it because the calibration knob is already turned all the way. So I can only make it read higher. Then today I checked the basin and it had mold in it. It really smelled. I have thousands of dollars worth of cigars and that could have been devastating. I contacted the manufacturer and they are sending me a new one. I don't know what I'm going to do in the mean time though. I can't not have a humidifier for a week. I am switching to humidity beads. They are very accurate and no mold. I hear you can even put them in the hydra in place of the foam. I might give this a try. In hind sight I wish I either paid more for a really nice electric humidifier like avello or just used beads in the first place.

Bought this from OVERSTOCK WAREHOUSE through Amazon, the delivery was prompt but when I setup the unit and let run I found out that the hygrometer is off by %15 and the knob as mentioned in the previous review only lets you adjust it 5 to %6. I have already requested a return from the seller and that service is to be seen.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE UNIT, and one more thing, there is no customer service for the Hydra products.

Let me explain what I think about this unit. I have 3500 square feet house in Central Florida and top of the line heat pump Central Air just installed a few years ago. All works perfect except one thing: I have to cool the entire house with it and at 4500 Watts in case of power down my diesel generator at 6500 Watts is just about running it when 1100 Watts refrigerator and lights are on at the same time. Another thing is Central Air conditioner will get you over 250 bucks electric bill during summer and this is when thermostat is set to only 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I ordered this unit thinking it is going to be so-so portable that can subsidize cooling now and then. The unit came in UPS, it is about 84 lbs, has wheels, is very quiet, does wonders drying the air, very nice quality built and components, remote, digital thermostat, can be converted to auto drain with just additional hose if you really must, runs on 1100 Watts, and is pleasant to look at. At 9000 BTU it is very nice gizmo indeed no vibrations, smooth working and very well made. That very same day I received it and run it for entire day, I ordered another one just like it. I hope that explains how good and useful this thing is. Get one if you need one and you will be happy you did. BTW, packaging for shipping was absolutely exemplary this thing would have to be dropped from 2nd floor on concrete to get damaged in all that styrofoam and cartons. I am very happy with this purchase. Remote is also quite handy when you use it in the bedroom at night. Water tank that had to be emptied is actually good thing, because no worries about over flooding the unit, and you can distilled water for ironing or car battery if you ever need that. The conversion adapter for continues water drain is included if you need that. I am somehow puzzled with negative review posted under Alesia, because I went to this individual's "see my other reviews" and there were like a HUNDRED of portable units, all with the SAME REVIEW and all purchased on the SAME DAY. That is very strange indeed. It is either mistake or overdose. Anyway, I think this unit is working well and it is worth the money. I use it already for over a month and it is better then ever.

We received a SPT WA-9000E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner on 6/11/10. There was an odd odor the first couple of times that we turned it on a plastic smell would be the best way to describe it. After about a week, my husband called (909) 468-5288 and left a message (no one returned the call). Later that day he called (800)330-0388 and spoke with a women who told him that as long as it was blowing cold air there was not a freon leak. She mentioned that the smell may be attributed to the styrofoam packing inside the machine. We just assumed that it smelled odd because it was new. We used it four or five times for maybe 3 hours each time. Well today is 7/6/10 and it hit 100 degrees outside; there is no longer any smell BUT THERE IS NO LONGER ANY COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE MACHINE. I have sent an email to Sunpentown through the Amazon site. I want everything in writing with regard to how to get this 80lb piece of crap back to them. The financial burden should not be mine after having this item for only 25 days. I will update with their response.

Update: July 7, 2010 Customer Service has been very nice. An exchange is in the process . . .

Update: July 13, 2010 Semi-disaster. We received the replacement today but the coolant leaked all over it. I called customer service and was told UPS must have dropped the box. He told me to put it back in the box and UPS would pick it up tomorrow since it was damaged, and ANOTHER replacement would be sent out today. A return label was sent with the replacement in order to exchange the first air conditioner. I was supposed to take that one to UPS myself and use the box from today's delivery, but today's delivery is going back. We just want to be done with it. I called back to request a refund rather than take a chance with AC #3. Fortunately, UPS will pick up AC #1 the same time that they pick up AC #2. I was on the phone with sunpentown several times today and they were nice and patient, but this is such a hassle. At least I found another box big enough to send back AC #1. Free Super Saver shipping was not offered when I purchased this item, so I hope my shipping charges are refunded as well. (I don't have the heart to call back to ask since I have tormented the poor representative enough today.) To be continued . . .

Update: July 14, 2010 UPS did not show up. The short version of the saga: Stayed home to wait for UPS man but found out late in the day (after numerous cranky calls to both Sunpentown and UPS) a "damage inspection" needed to be scheduled, before a pick-up could be scheduled. Sunpentown rectified situation by scheduling a pick-up for Friday (7/16/10) and UPS will inspect the damaged item (AC#2) on their own site. Unfortunately, they cannot pick up AC#1 with AC#2 (different circumstances, hence different trucks and drivers). So I am lugging AC #1 to a UPS site tomorrow. I want these God forsaken machines out of my house!

Update: July 28, 2010 Both machines were returned and received by Sunpentown on July 21, 2010 (verified by UPS tracking #s). I just sent them an email inquiry through this Amazon site about my reimbursement.

Update: July 30, 2010 No response to email; I just sent another.

Update: August 1, 2010 Full refund received.

We purchased this unit to help cool the 3rd floor of our townhouse which has been over 82 when the house AC is set to 77. (Temps have been in the high 90s here in Northern Virginia). The unit is fairly quiet given the size. It has carrying handles on the side that made it easy to lug up our 3 flights of stairs. The unit must be vented to the outside to release the heat. The hose was of moderate length and the adapter piece for the window was adequate. We had to cut it to fit our window. We also had to make a trip to Home Depot to purchase insulating foam and tape to help hold it in place and plug the air leaks. We have the unit in a small bedroom and it blows cool air into the hallway, a distance of about 7 feet. As far as water accumulating in the unit, we haven't had much. In our house it's about half full after running it for an entire day. This may change when the humidity comes back. I am very happy we purchased this unit. We have been running it for 5 days and so far I would recommend it.

Honest reviews on SPT Portable Air Conditioner, 9000 BTUs, WA-9000E

I received this product via UPS heavy load. I set this thing up, in hopes, of a portable A/C for our kitchen...not good. One, it is way to big and bulky for any room. Two, the exhaust hose, that you are required to use, cannot be flexed in any way. In other words, the unit has to be at least 4-5 ft away from a window and sit in the middle of a room. The window attachment could not be set up in our wndow, if used, I had to hacksaw it to make it fit. I decided that it would not work for me. I then had to pay UPS to send it back, to the tune of 150.00! So, this is a product that cost more than 1/2 its price to return...so you better be sure its right for you..

The unit does not cool as much as I expected. A 5,000 BTU window unit did much better and much quicker. It is the ducting kit that keeps it from cooling very well. That hose puts off a tremendous amount of heat. I saw one persons review and they had to actaully try and keep the duct hose cool?! I know it should get warm, but this one gets hot!

The ducting kit for this is flimsy and does not install very well. Mine actually has a problem with one end of the ducting kit. So I contacted them via e mail on their website, three times, not once did I hear back from them, not once. How does a company literally just ignore customer requests?! I was not asking for a new unit, i was asking for help with the ducting kit or at the very least a new ducting kit. Nothing, no response from them.

I would not buy anything from that company again, ever.

I live in an apartment surrounded by smokers. My downstairs neighbor has the habbit of smoking indoors, especially in the bathroom. He turns on the bathroom air vent and the smell of smoke ends up in my apartment. It got to the point where my family thought that I had become a smoker because my son and I were walking around smelling like ash trays. After some research, I went ahead and purchased 2 of these units. One is in my son's bedroom and the other in the living room. Problem solved! My son and I no longer smell like smoke and my apartment no longer has that smell.

I bought 2 of these, one for my adult son who has asthma and one for myself because I was just diagnosed with allergies to airborne allergens including dust mites. My allergist told me to get a hepa filter, which this appeared to be. Unfortunately companies can write hepa on the description without it being a true hepa filter, Too late I've discovered that it should specify that it cleans up to .3 microns and captures at least 99.97 percent of airborne particles. I'm keeping them for 2 reasons. We destroyed the boxes and we have already used them for several weeks. They are very quiet, but wouldn't say they are very effective for dust mite allergies. In the meantime I have ordered 2 purifiers that use real hepa filters. Do your homework before you buy for allergy relief.

I am glad I bought this. Use it to filter out the cigarette smoke in a room that is 250 square feet. It does a very good job. It can be put on the high setting which filters out smells, orders, and smoke smell or smoke in about few hours or less. Then it has whisper mode that you can let it run all the time 24/7 and never hear it but takes a long time to filter out smells and orders using this mode. Has medium speed that works also and does fine, usually takes several hours to filter air in this mode. It gives you options and what works best for you to use. Made out of durable plastic and sturdy, no problems assembling it and after running it now for almost 3 months it is still going strong and works great. I like the re-usable filter that you can take out yourself and clean as needed and not have to buy expensive filters on other brands or models. This has been perfect and economical and I would buy another if needed.

I'm so happy with this purchase. I was looking for a "room air cleaner". I put this on the nightstand by my bed and it's so quiet! When I wake up, I'm not stuffed up any more! I don't care what else it does, the sinus thing was worth every penny. And I only run it at night, which makes me happy. Already recommending it!

I was expecting to pay $500 for one of those standing units. I'm glad I found this one and I was afraid it would be too noisy or not powerful enough. I put this on whisper clean for two hours and I could feel a significant difference in my room's air quality. You can also barely hear it unless you stick your face to it.

I have horrible allergies and after moving into a pet-friendly apartment, it only got worse. Our old residents were also slobs and despite me cleaning the place 100 times, it's still full of allergens. I spent hundreds on humidifiers, cleaners, allergies drugs, etc. to no luck. Thankfully, I found this and I'm breathing again. Seriously, if you have allergies, look no further!

Bought this for the basement, which used to sit around 70% humidity in the summer. Arrived on time and in great shape.

Pro's:

1. It works extremely well to remove the humidity. I was advised to get the biggest unit I could. This was indeed good advise. It brought the large basement down to 50% humidity in short order and is keeping it there.

2. The pump function is super. Very well thought out. Exit is from the back, which is great. You push the special fitting (with hose) into the back of the unit and it automatically senses you want it to start pumping. No settings to fiddle with, it just knows. So nice to not have to empty the bucket.

3. The unit is attractive

4. The digital readout of temperature and humidity is great to have.

5. The controls are easy and intuitive.

Con's:

1. It cycles way too often. I don't understand why it does not wait until the humidity has increased to a certain level, say 5% above your setting, then run till it is 5% below. That way it cycles less. Right now, it turns on when its just barely above the setting and turns off when just below. It cycles about every 3 or 4 minutes, runs for about 4 minutes, then shuts off, only to turn back on 3 or 4 minutes later. Since the fan is loud, its really distracting. No way to adjust this setting that I can find.

2. The fan is quite loud. Not much you can do about this and every other unit I have owned suffers the same issue. I would guess since that is the basics of a dehumifier. i.e.run a big fan over a coil. Just be aware you are not going to be able to listen to mozart while this thing is on.

3. Even if you turn the fan to the low setting, it does not remember that the next time it fires back up. Right back to hurricane strength.

On the whole, its a good unit.

I originally bought the 70-pint Kenmore Elite Dehumidifier with pump and remote monitoring because my in-laws had bought one and they seemed happy. It was incredibly loud and the pump failed often. Even though I had it set for pumping the catch bin would fill with condensate and the unit would stop. Constantly. In addition, the installation of the pump hose has to be done very carefully otherwise the unit will leak onto your floor. As it turns out, my in-laws were experiencing the same issues. Constantly having to empty the bin even though it is set for auto-pump. I returned mine to Sears and after some more research ordered the Friedrich D70BP 70 Pint Dehumidifier with built-in drain pump, front bucket and continuous drain from Amazon. Received it the next day (yeah!) and had it running in 10 minutes. It has not stopped since. It does not have remote monitoring, but it doesn't need it because it just works! Great dehumidifier. Much quieter too!

The Friedrich is: Cheaper, smaller, easier to get working, compared to the Kenmore Elite. The condensate bin for the Friedrich is accessed from the front so there is no need to flip the unit around to empty it (if you ever needed to).

Thanks to other reviewers who pointed me toward the Friedrich.

Oh, and my in-laws are returning their Kenmore too now and I am sending them a Friedrich. HUGE son-in-law hubby-cred points!!

The product arrived timely and was very easy to set up. Also, the unit is much quieter than I expected and very efficient.

The first 10 days I emptied the pan effortlessly every day and then decided to try the automatic pump. The pump mechanism was a very pleasant surprise as it was very easy to start using, simply plugged into the back of the unit and it distributes the water through a 15 foot tube into the sink which is about 4 feet higher than the unit.

An excellent choice for our finished basement of about 1500 s.f.

Honest reviews on Friedrich D70BP 70 Pint Dehumidifier with built-in drain pump

Friedrich Dehumidifier D70BP 70 Pint Answers and Thoughts

(1) BUILT-IN PUMP

Though a well-regarded dehumidifier in its own right, this is considered by many as the one to beat if you need to not just gravity drain into a drain nearby but drain to a drain farther away or up a few feet into a sink (both vs. using the bin).

(2) BRAND

Friedrich doesn't have a lot of brand recognition compared to the heavily advertised ones, so I thought I should point out they have a great reputation for quality design and customer service, to an extent due to reviews for their products from a consumer magazine over the years.

As they make changes to their sourcing model for such a complicated product it remains to be seen if their brand rise continues or falls into the rut of so many other formerly great brands, only time will tell.

(3) THE FAN

One reviewer doesn't like that the fan never stops, however another doesn't like that the fan cycles on and off as needed! :) .. so I checked which is the case with the company. It turns out that the AP/BP (The BP is the one with the built-in pump) 70 pint models fans cycle on and off as needed, the other models have a fan that never shuts-off, according to support.

(4) MADE IN..

One reviewer noted these are made in the USA.. I checked if this is the case, most are made in China and one is made in Mexico.

(5) LIKE SNOWFLAKES AND FINGERPRINTS :)..

You should consider all dehumidifiers individually hit or miss, while I would buy a Friedrich product gladly, be sure what your exit/exchange strategy is should you get a lemon .. local availability of service .. is the reseller's extended warranty no-fault .. do you have to pay for return shipping .. etc. This may be 10x more valuable to your satisfaction with the product than its features.

Friedrich, to their credit, actively tell folks on customer sales support to think about these things. Some resources for this research include their website, their great support line 800 541-6645, and Amazon customer service.

I also highly suggest buying a NO-FAULT EXTENDED WARRANTY for 2-3+ years for any dehumidifier, even though I rarely bother with extended warranties for most products.

(6) WARNINGS/NOTES IN GENERAL..

If you have a medical/allergy, anti-mold, archival, or otherwise serious reason to maintain a humidity range you need to get something SEPARATE TO MEASURE HUMIDITY. Dehumidifier humidistats are often 15-25 RH off from the actual ambient RH, or don't even show you what they assume it is.

You MUST have a 3-PRONG OUTLET for each dehumidifier you get, NO 2-prong with adapter shortcuts, you want this kind of appliance grounded, like a refrigerator or air conditioner. If necessary hire an electrician to make it happen where you need it/them.

Running big dehumidifiers non-stop can cost up to hundreds of dollars per year each and doing so may only bring the humidity lower than you need for comfort, medical, or archival purpose. Consider targeting to JUST BELOW YOUR TARGET HUMIDITY, for example 55rh to keep below 60rh rather than continuous running to get as low as possible. Of course, if it takes you continuously running to get to your target, ignore this suggestion:).

I have owned my Friedrich dehumidifier for little over a month now.

Pro's:

1.It works extremely well to remove the humidity.

2.The controls are easy to use.

3.The unit is attractive and reasonably quiet.

4.The digital readout of temperature and humidity is great to have.

5.Casters included for easy mobility.

6.Filter is washable and easy to remove and replace.

Con's:

1. The pump hose has to be done very carefully otherwise the unit will leak and the hose provided is short.

2. The removeable condensation bucket is a lot smaller than similar dehumidifiers I have owned this size and poorly constructed. The sides of the bucket are very weak and you have to use both hands to support it when taking it out to dump it. And forget using the handle, it easily slips out of the slots used to hold it in and you could easily spill water all over like I did the first time. I am working on setting it up to continuous drain so I don't have to mess with the flimsy bucket.

I am very happy with the machine and the power just not the bucket and pump.

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I bought the GE ADER65LN Dehumidifier after two other brands failed a few months after their warrenty expired. I had an LG that had its' compressor fail. Repair costs were almost as much as a new one. So I scraped it and bought a Kenmore at Sears. That one lasted as about as long as the LG with another compressor failure. When I looked inside the cabinet I found the Kenmore was made by LG.

I then researched Consumer Reports and online reviews for the most reliable and best operating dehumidifier. The GE was rated the best so I bought one last year. I went to use it this May and guess what? It didn't work. I checked the evaporator coil and it was not getting cold. This time I was still under warrenty so I took it into the dealer for repair. I got a call back and was told the the compressor was bad. Big surprise! GE is giving me a rebate coupon for the price I payed for the unit. I must buy another GE dehumidifier and send a copy of the invoice and the coupon to get my money back.

I'm a graduate engineer that knows a dehumidier is not "rocket science". The reliability of the LG, Kenmore (LG) and GE is terrible. I had a Fedders dehumidifier for 25 years and only replaced it because I needed more capacity. Never had one problem with Fedders, but it was made in the USA!

Update April 30, 2013 I'm now on my THIRD GE 65 pint Dehumidifier Failure!!! In June 2012 I had the second dehumidifier fail the same as the first. I again carried it back to the dealer's service department and they confirmed the compressor was dead. I received another voucher to send in AFTER I purchased the third GE 65 pint dehumidifier. That one lasted all Summer of 2012. I put the unit away for the winter and just took it out today to see if it still worked before the humidity increased during the Summer. Guess what? It doesn't work! I ran the unit for 4 hours in a 70 F Basement room with 60 RH. I checked the evaporator coils and they are not getting cold. The compressor is running and feels hot. I'm guessing the refrigerant has leaked out. I'm taking it in again to the service department, but this is the last time. These China made units are JUNK!

This top rated dehumidifier worked as reviewed in a consumer magazine review, I bought it based on that glowing review. i took it out of the box and read the instructions ,and shortly it was up and running in no time. running in my damp humid basement, i decided not to hook a hose to the drain until i could see how much water could be extracted,It was running a little over 2 hours and went to check it and that large tank was more than half full already so i emptied it and connected a hose to the unit and the other to a floor drain.It is a quiet unit and would recommend this unit, Gman.

I took a chance when I bought this unit a year ago based upon brand name. I should have known better. After only one year, the compressor has failed. Good luck trying to find someone to repair it. The Company was of great help with this by telling me to look in the yellow pages!!!

Honest reviews on GE ADER65LP 65 Pint Dehumidifier with 3 Fan Speeds, 195 CFM Air

I bought this on the basis of its high rating in a Consumer Reports review of dehumidifiers. I'm not happy with my purchase or with CR. I've had this running in my moderately humid finished basement for two summers. I give it one star because it still runs and dehumidifies. Barely. It can't get the humidity below 65%, and it is not a damp basement.

The bucket shut off switch no longer works. I drain with a hose so this is not a problem but if I was using the bucket I would not go off and leave it running.

The unit runs continuously, never shuts off. If you set it for interval (2 or 4 hours) it will run that long and shut down. It won't come back on as it should.

The folks at CR ought to put one in their basement for two years and then review it.

Based upon what I've read in various places, plus my and my Dad's experience with a number of these Made in China junkers, avoid them they are not a good purchase. They are all made by LG, so the brand does not make a difference.

Next time I will bite the bullet and buy a much more expensive Aprilaire or Sonoma Made in USA and highly rated.

Just as an aside, as Consumer reports has gotten bigger and bigger, it's reports on just about everything have become more subjective and less useful. Now instead of providing useful information for making good purchasing decisions, it drives consumption it really should be called Consumer Lust. And I'm not biased, either!

I agree with several people who begrudge giving the unit more than 3 stars if even that many. I too was very pleased with the unit when I first bought it. It took the humidity down in less than 24 hours, entire lower level. I thought wow this is great. It continued to do the job for several months.....a great machine. But.....as one reviewer noted the unit will heat up the area, but I thought that was to be expected since you have to draw air over 'cool' coils to get the humidity out; but it was warm. As another reviewer noted the unit worked when it did and then it 'died'.....yep mine too. It now does not take the humidity out and I do not know why it stopped? No warning. It worked and then all of a sudden it does not any more? As another reviewer noted GE will honor the 1 year warranty but......I have to buy a new unit and then send in a rebate form to get reimbursed. But does it cover taxes? shipping? etc.... I am led to believe they WILL NOT. This is very disappointing. According to what was written in the owners manual if a unit was bad they would ship you a new one. Not anymore....all the burden is now on the owner and still does not get all the money 'refunded' so to speak. I'm not sure what I am going to do? Even Consumers Report rated this unit as a best buy and a top unit but this does not speak well for GE. By the way the unit is made in China....Hmmmmmmmm. Whatever happened to American made from an American company?

The product worked great for a few months and then stopped working randomly. I looked at the bottom of the machine and it seems a fuse burnt out (the misting function). There was a burn mark on the plastic base and mist was no longer coming out of the humidifier.

I wish it had an timer rather than continuously running. I found that when I used it in a smaller room it would get too steamy and would not shut off unless it ran out of water.

It is quiet and provides a good about of mist in the air. However, the rotating function makes more noise than the actual humidifier lucky you can turn it off.

Bought this despite reviews. What a mistake! Worked all of one night and then died! Had to ship it back and still waiting for another one. This is the time of year when I need it,and I'm playing shipping games with the company! I would never ever ever buy from them again! I am just hoping this new one works. And if it does, I will constantly be worried that it will stop at any time!

I did not want to believe the reviews and purchased the unit, I love the design and the fact that it is tall and distributes the mist high and far. It worked for couple days then it started to make a noise and then it stopped by itself after a few minutes of use, I could not get it back to work more than a minute. This is my third unit and all have had the same problem, now I'm done with this model and I purcahsed a smaller unit that stays on all night. Do NOT buy!

Honest reviews on HoMedics UHE-OW14 Ultrasonic Cool and Warm Mist Humidifier

I love this humidifer! This is an extremely smooth operating humidifier. It has a sizable water tank, you can control the output of humidity and there is a contant steady flow of mist, as much or as little as you want. It also has an oscillating feature that works beautifully. It's taller than many humidifiers so you can set it directly on the floor and it's sleek so it's shape is not intrusive. I think it is a far more efficient and easier to use than most and if I want to move it while its running i just pick it up bt the center opening and water doesn't get everywhere. I love this humidifier and use it year after year.

Best Extreme 18 Count Travel Humidor Deals

Extreme 18 Count Travel Humidor
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I have this exact same cigar travel humidor, but it's branded as the "Cigar Caddy". It's been a terrific large-capacity travel humidor. It's advertised to hold 18 cigars, but I've trimmed notches in each of the foam trays to allow for 24 cigars total. It maintains moisture very well according to my digital hygrometer. You could fill this thing with 18 (24 if you do what I did) of your best cigars, then let it tumble down a flight of stairs they'd be unharmed. Please don't do that and if you do, I am not liable for your stupidity.

Be careful not to overfill the internal humidification element. It's tricky and if you add too much solution/distilled water, it will leak onto your cigars.

All in all, I'd happily recommend this to a friend looking to carry several cigars with them, and keep them properly humidified, on a long camping trip.

This is a 12 cigar humidor. Note that before anything else. The quick description in bullet points at the top of the page says 25, but if you read the paragraph product description, you'll see it says 12, as does the box visible in one of the pictures.

And, it may be kind of small even for 12 sticks, but I think most humidors probably overestimate.

That being said, it is a beautiful box and the slide-lock is a nice novelty feature that also seems to add to the seal on the box.

The humidifier and hygrometer which are included will work, but are not great. This is common for these included accessories. I'm using them for now, but will eventually replace with a bead humidifier and a digital hygrometer. You might want to consider doing this from the start.

All-in-all, this box will be a great addition to a desktop for access to some favorite sticks. It won't store a serious collection, but that's not the point of a 12 count humidor.

I ordered this humidor for my boyfriend for his birthday. The estimated day of delivery had long passed and I still didn't have it. The order status just said "in transit" for about a week. Finally, I emailed the seller (who was none too hospitable or apologetic, although they did respond somewhat timely) and they promised to resend it . Luckily, it came the day before his birthday. Also, when I got it, it says it only holds 12 cigars on the box, NOT 25 like this description claims up top. In the end, I wouldn't do this again. I order a lot of things through amazon and this particular purchase has made me doubt doing it again. The quality is okay...definitely not worth the money though, considering the delay and that it holds less than they claim...if you're looking for a fine, inexpensive, quality humidor, I'd avoid this one it's not worth the money or hassle.

Bought this to hold my "tobacco" and it looks very classy. Fits all my tools needed for those relaxing nights. The secret lock compartment is simple, but effective. Not 007 style, but still very cool compared to some VERY OVERPRICED humidors out there. Size was small and perfect for me.
