I bought this through Target--their reviews said it was great! It seemed to dehumidify, although slowly. However, I was concerned that the "brick" on the AC cord was hot, so hot that I couldn't hold it for more than a few seconds. I found out online that such a problem could be a fire hazard! I called the company, Sunpentown, and they mailed out another cord with the instructions that if this one was also abnormally hot (which it was), I should mail the whole unit back (which I did). Sounds like they've had this problem more than once before. The replacement unit also has a really hot cord. So I suppose this merry-go-round will continue until they hopefully refund my money.

The unit worked ok until the plug melted. The part of the plug that connects to the unit got so hot it melted the plastic. Major fire hazard. I am going to see if I can get a refund.

Pass on this. Our apartment is very humid. We've had this running for a month in our bathroom, and emptied it onceit was only half full.

Honest reviews on Sunpentown SD-350 60-Watt Mini Dehumidifier

This product is totally worthless. I ran this for five days and it only collected about 1 ounce of water. And I had 55% humidity in my house! It is worthless. I had it in a tiny room and it didn't drop the humidity 1%. It is also very loud and the AC block gets super hot. A sure sign of a worthless poorly made piece of junk.

The worse part is, I ordered it here on Amazon, but some other company shipped it to me. Now Amazon won't give me a refund. They say to email them and they will set up a procedure for you to return the item. I have e-mail twice over the past three days and nothing!

I needed a dehumidifier for making screens for screen printing on t-shirts. I went to Lowes and bought a small $150 unit. In a few hours the humidity in the room dropped from over 50 to the low 40's and it had collected about eight ounces.

Take my advice. Buying a $50 humidifier was a huge mistake and a waste of time. I will seriously think twice about ever ordering from amazon.com. Call me old fashion but I think I should be able to return a product to the store(in this case website) I bought it from. Imagine buying something from Lowes that is defective, then when you try to return it they say. Oh you can't return that here. You have to return it to Joe's Hardware!

I would give this product and Amazon.com negative stars if I could.

It will remove some humidity and replace it with heat. So, you're left with a semi-humid hotter space after installing this thing not good. It runs hot. After about a year it has started to make a loud noise and is not dehumidifying with any degree of efficiency. It appears to be on its last leg. Stay away from this product.

I have used this humidifier for about a month now. In the winter I tend to get very dry skin and nasal congestion, which usually turns into a full-blown cold, if I sleep in cool, dry winter air. My wife and I decided to try a humidifier to see if it would help. Here is my impression of the Air King so far:

Simple construction--nothing fancy here. The unit basically consists of a small electric water pump that pulls the water up into the unit and wets an evaporative pad. A fan then sucks air through the back of the humidifier, through the evaporative pad, and out the top to humidify the air. Nothing fancy, but the bottom line is that it works. One very nice feature is that the water pump pulls enough water to saturate the evaporative pad and the extra is recirculated through the unit, making it less likely for nasty stuff to build up in the tank.

The humidifier has 3 speed settings, with no auto-on/off capability. We always run it on the lowest setting, which is relatively quiet and does a decent job of humidifying the air. The two higher settings are louder and produce more moisture, but the lowest setting is fine for us (1100 sq. ft. apartment).

The low setting is fairly energy efficient for a humidifier. Because this is an evaporative humidifier, it uses much less energy than one that creates steam with a heating element. Basically, you're powering a small fan and a small electric water pump, which uses 22.7 watts on the lowest setting, according to the instruction manual (I have not tested that number). So if you're running the unit overnight on low, it uses about 1/3 the electricity of leaving a 60 watt light bulb on overnight.

The unit has a tank capacity of 1.75 gallons. On the highest setting, the users manual says it will put 3 gallons into the air over a 24-hour period. I have not run the humidifier much on the highest setting, but their 3 gallon claim seems about right. On the lowest setting, we usually refill the unit once in the morning and once before bed to make sure it doesn't run out of water.

We use filtered water (Brita) because it helps reduce mineral deposits and keeps the water smelling fresh. It also should reduce the number of times you have to replace the evaporative pad. After one month of operation, we have cleaned the evaporative pad twice by soaking it in a water/white vinegar solution, which has cleared off most of the mineral deposits. My guess from our experience is that with heavy use, an evaporative pad should be replaced roughly once every 45 days. The Air King evaporative pads are available for order on the internet for roughly $5-$8 a piece.

In summary:

A lot of information in this review, but that's because when I was looking for humidifiers I didn't think there was enough information available about these things to make an informed decision. Given that uncertainty, I didn't want to spend $200+ on something and not like it or have it break in the first month. So I looked for a reasonable, less expensive model and decided to give this one a shot. I don't regret my decision at all. This unit has exactly what I was looking for: low purchase price, low maintenance cost and effort, low energy use, quiet operation, good humidification for 1100 square feet, and so far, it hasn't broken. If you're looking for those things, this humidifier is a solid choice.

This is the best humidifier we've had since replacing a wornout Holmes that no longer is manufactured. It's very quiet on the lowest setting & not that much noisier on the two higher settings. Like the cascading waterfall sound effects, too.

I got this and the product itself works fine but what I didn't expect is that when you put it on carpet that the water tray will build condensation and soak into the carpet. I ended up having to dry my carpet for 4 days and the water leaked into the celing of my study downstairs. Just make sure when using this that you have it on a hard surface or put it in a leak proof tub.

It does a fair job of putting moisture back into the air but if you leave it at Level 3 all night, your nose and your respiratory system will smell like metal all day! I'm serious. Thumbs down on this item.

Got this for my large bedroom since it gets so dry in the winter. Works well and doesn't leak, which was key.

My biggest complaint is that I have to refill it everyday and its awkward to carry the base when it has water in it. Next time I buy I humidifier I will get one that holds more water. Also when you go to refill it you have to take the motor top off and lay it somewhere dripping wet. It could definitely be designed bettter, but it works. You don't see the stream of moist air coming from it (maybe because its not heated) but moist air definitely comes out.

Anyway it works just fine, but its no frills. I wouldn't pay more then $20 for it though.

Love this humidor! The pictures don't quite do it justice. In fact, the quality is superb. I went with the burgundy, and it looks great. I like the glossy finish and the additional accessories that were included.

When I think of a high-class, luxury, and bad-ass-ness, this is the first thing that comes to mind now.

Sir, this is the best damn humidor I've ever purchased. I've had a Cohiba box before but this blows it out of the water.

I gave the Aprilaire #4655 a 4 rating because it did not fit the hole left by the removal of the old unit from the cold intake on the furnace. The unit performs well and does exactly what it is suppose to do.

I recently had my air ducts cleaned out and the original humidistat was no longer working. I talked to a repair man and he told me this is what I needed. Found it online and now my whole house humidifier works great again. Install was pretty simple as well.

I bought the Germ Guardian about a year ago, and a few months ago the bulb needed replacing. I bought 2 replacement bulbs. I installed the first bulb.... which was much more difficult than advertised. The first bulb burnt out in 4 weeks. The seller, elite deals refused a refund or exchange because I was over their "time limit" for a return. So I installed the second bulb. It's burning out now... and it has only been 3 weeks. Don't believe the "lasts 5000 hours" bs. DONT BUY THIS.

I purchased a Germ Guardian EV-9-102 UV-C Air Sanitizer that requires this Germ Guardian EV9LB Replacement UV-C Light Bulb and Filter set. I've only had it since December 3 (it is now mid-March) and the bulb has already failed TWICE!!! I love the sanitizer, because it does improve the quality of air in our 100-year old house, but the replacement bulbs are too expensive to be replacing every other month!!! I'm highly disappointed in the quality of the replacement lights.

Honest reviews on germguardian EV9LBL Replacement UV-C Bulb for EV9102

This product is a glass light bulb, so, when it arrived in an envelope, I was amazed that it arrived intact!

Anyway, it was a 'snap' to install and worked GREAT from the 'get go!'

The bulb that initially came with our new Germ Guardian only lasted six months, so I hope this one fares better!

BTW, when you disassemble the Guardian to install the bulb, check out how well-built this device REALLY is!

IMHO, it's built like a truck and should truly last a lifetime!

I've had the Germ Guardian for about 2 years.The first bulb lasted 6 months.Second bulb lasted nearly a year but in 2010 the bulbs were burning out at 4-6 weeks.Too expensive to keep replacing and difficult to find locally.
