These humidifier packs seem to work perfectly, and according to my hygrometer they keep the humidity stable to within +/2%, which keeps things fresh and smooth quite effortlessly.

I will definitely be making use of these on an ongoing basis!

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

This is a review of the El Rey Humidor (150 capacity) not a specific vendor. I've had mine for about a year and it works fine. I do not use the provided humidifiers or hygrometer. Instead I recommend the Xikar adjustable calibration round digital hygrometer thermometer and the C-250 crystal gel cigar humidifier by Quality Importers. This humidor looks good and it consistently maintains a 70 degree/70% humidity level.

We have been trying for 2 months now, since Nov, 2009 to get a refund from Cheaphumidors on a similar humidor a friend purchased through Cheaphumidors website for my birthday. I found the product to be unsatisfactory. The drawers did not seal properly. We returned it to Cheaphumidors in the specified return time with insurance and tracking. CH is saying they did not receive the return, even though USPS shows it was delivered and that they can not find my order. Their customer service rep is doing everything she can to say they do not know of the order or of the return. I would not recommend this vendor. Since we first ordered, we have read other reviews mentioning how they do not honor their return policy all the time. As an avid cigar smoker, I will not purchase from Cheaphumidors. I'm still looking for that perfect humidor, though.

The box claims "Micro free" and that it traps water impurities. Depending on water hardness and how long the humidifier runs, you may get a whole winter season from this or not I usually do.

Perfect fit for the Lasko humidifier. Towards the end of the season I can eek out another month or two by soaking in a light vinegar solution, followed by a light bleach.

Discount Bell and Howell Ionic Whisper Air Purifier and Ionizer

Bell and Howell Ionic Whisper Air Purifier and Ionizer
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

Nice compact size-can be moved easily. Does freshen the air in the room noticeably. On whisper setting is almost silent. On Turbo setting can be heard but in no way impinges on life, maybe would sleeping. Does shoot out air but does not "blow" with any force. Over time, like a day, all the air in our 20'x20' living area changes. Did have a noticeable plastic like new odor the first few days of use which wore off. Haven't had any build up on the collection grid in these 2 weeks, but it would be easy to clean. Now after several months of use I change my 4 stars to 1. The low setting quit. The ozone emitted gave us headaches and irritated lungs. Ozone is toxic. I returned the product for a refund.

We bought this ionizer for our home. It worked great the first few days, then started flickering on and off. It has not worked properly since.

I ordered this unit, not expecting to much considering its size and price, and the name, but i was, to say the least, pretty impressed. On silent it does not move air, period, and there is a "hisssss" that can be annoying. On "turbo" i.e. a fan moving the air, there isn't a hiss and it is fairly quiet, i couldn't hear it over my ceiling fan. After about a day i opened it up and looked at the collection filter, and as i suspected i didn't see anything, but i took a damp clean white paper towel and wiped it off, and lo and behold there was actually stuff that came off. I was suprised, and thought it might have just been dust and stuff that were there already, so i put the filter back in and a couple days later i cleaned it again, and there was more. The only reason i give this a 4 is because on mine the switch broke and i could not turn it off.

Honest reviews on Bell and Howell Ionic Whisper Air Purifier and Ionizer

It worked more or less ok for a few months except for the dang ozone smell you get sometimes, and then a few days ago I decided to clean the inside tube but after I reinserted it the thing stopped working. They designed this so poorly that the switch to turn it on is embedded with the button to take the removable panel off so any slight force will break the whole darn thing.

I was close to order an oreck one for cheap but decided against it and cancelled the order after learning you have to buy new filters. Was deciding to get the XL model but learned those things are garbage as well after reading the negative reviews.

I have severe allergies so i guess I'll figure out other homeopathic remedies to relieve my symptoms.

It worked for 3 days and never worked again. The cover was extremely difficult to remove. I thought Bell and Howell would be a dependable brand name. I would rather have donated $28 to charity than the garbage can.

This is a cute little humidifier that can be plugged into an outlet or in your computer's USB port. That's what attracted me to it, because the air gets so dry in winter in my office I can put this close to me while I am working. I could feel a difference when it was on in a small space. It's very easy to use, just soak the small wick a couple minutes in water before use and you're ready to go. It comes with two extra wicks and adapters for your computer and outlet which is very nice. The only complaint is there is no auto off when it's out of water, so you have to be vigilant. It says you get about 4 hours of use from a full reservoir of water. It's only about 4 inches wide so it doesn't get in the way on my desk. So far I really like this innovative product. I don't think I've seen another one just like it anywhere. I would recommend it for office workers or students who are affected by dry heated air in winter.

I suffer from dry sore eyes as well as dry skin during the winter as a result of dry heated air. Although I have a whole house humidifier, my eyes still become dry and sore during the night. This little humidifier provides just the additional moisture needed next to my bed at night to prevent my eye problem. It is totally silent in operation and in spite of an advertised 4 hour run time, my experience has been that it runs 8-9 hours if I start with it a bit above the fill line (almost to the top of the fill cup). I use distilled water which I would recommend to avoid scale problems and greatly prolong filter life. Also, with distilled water, no additives are needed. You can purchase distilled water in most grocery stores and since it uses so little, the humidifier will be economical to run. But if you use a de-humidifier in the summer, you can bottle some of its recovered water and get distilled water for free. This is a great product as long as you don't expect it to humidify a large area. But for a small boost in humidity in a bedroom or office it does a remarkable job for a low price.

This unit works, but that's about the best I can say. It is simple and cheap and does put out a small stream of vapor. Don't expect output like a larger unit, but if it is blowing right at you it would be noticeable. Word of warning I ran it out of water overnight and it self-destructed. It burned up and was not repairable. They warn that it does not have low water protection but I didn't realize it would destroy it. So don't run it out of water.

Honest reviews on Homedics Personal Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier, White

This humidifier is great for my workstation, even though it doesn't create humidity as much as it spits a fine mist of water at you. But my problem lies in the wick: replacements only seem to be available online (through the manufacturer) and are $3.99 for a six-pack. Okay, that's not bad until you factor in the additional $10.00 for UPS Ground shipping. TEN DOLLARS to ship one box of replacement wicks to my house. The machine came with 2 wicks included but I went through those in 2 months and still had 2 months of dry, wintery air.

I will forever be super sad I didn't do my research before buying a small humidifier for work. I was so taken in by the cuteness of the device that I didn't even think in practical terms like finding replacement wicks. From here on out, I'm looking for a personal humidifier that does not require wicks or filters or any parts that will incur additional expense. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Review of Essick Air ED11 800 Euro Console-Style Humidifier, White

Essick Air ED11 800 Euro Console-Style Humidifier, White
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

While it was a little frustrating to put together as the plastic parts need to snap together and you need a screw driver to wedge the plastic base for the top to fit properly. Make sure you wait 30 minutes after filling, for the wick to absorb the water, as the fan won't work. Also be sure the over hang on the back of the wick filter is hung on the over hang at the back of the base unit. But we started with 34% humidity and in less than 24 hrs it came up to 50%. We used level 3 on the fan, as the higher levels are noisy, but at this level and result for what this product is supposed to do, it was great. Easy to fill, no taking out bottles, just pour into the reservoir. The humidistat on the unit registers too high. I put tape over it and use my small humidistat to measure the humidity. They could have left this part off. Anyway if you want the humidity to raise quickly, this is your item. A lot better than the old filter belt circular kinds.

I have had this unit for several years. It has outlasted all "Sears" brands and models.

Secrets to making it work: I use the 1041 wicks. Every two weeks or so, I take it into the bathroom, pull out the wick and using a hand held shower, spray off the wick thoroughly. This helps lower the mineral build-up and the wick lasts longer. Also I change wicks about every two months. So I need about three for the heating season.

Yes the electronic "humidistat" doesn't work. Simple, I set the unit to a higher humidity than what is displayed. When I want to run it, I turn the unit on. When I want it off, I turn it off. And I use a separate humidity gauge. This one works wonderfully:

As for noise, I only run it on the 2, 3 or 4 level. Yes, you can crank it up, but just like any fan, the more you crank it the louder it gets... and I can hear the TV just fine even when this is running...

It's much easier to carry a bucket of water to this unit to fill it up than clumsy bottles to drag out and carry elsewhere.

GREAT humidifier and I've had this one for several years and if I need another one, I'll hope to get another one of these.

Here's another hint. Don't mount it on the wheels that come with and then put the entire unit on a towel or carpeting scrap. Also helps if you spill a bit of water when filling.

Do NOT forget the bacteriastat either, but be careful when using this additive, as always. And yes, it is normal for the wick itself to be about half dry (at the top) and half wet (at the bottom). The entire wick does NOT need to be saturated soaking wet for this to work as the "well" of water is only the few inches at the bottom...

I paid 113 USD for this unit. It was awkward to use, and felt cheaply made. It did a fine job humidifying the house but the humidistat was broken. Its humidity reading would not drop below 50%, when other humidistats in my home were indicating 30%. According to it, the humidity level was about 60% ! I have found a review elsewhere indicating the same problem. I returned it and bought a unit for 70 USD that works much better.

I followed the instructions by filling the tank, turned on high, and never let it run dry. By mid day 2 the wick was 3/4 dry. The unit on high was so loud that it can be heard on all 3 stories of my house. In their defense, this was my first humidifier. It's going back tomorrow.

We've had one humidifier for 2 years and another for a year (put on on top floor and one on main floor). My only complaint is the sensor is too close to the unit so reads higher than it really is. We wrapped something around the sensor to keep it running. Works nicely and the sound level is perfect for us.
