I've had this humidifier for 3 years and it has been a great machine!! I use it every night, mostly in the fall and winter months, without fail. It is quiet and small enough to place on a night stand by my bed. I use purified water and I don't have any problems with white dust or water spots. I would recommend 2 of these for larger bedrooms or living areas. Very easy to use and keep clean.

I've been using this machine for 2 weeks in a bedroom every night to stave off the drying winter months. It's quiet, functional, and relatively cheap. For a small room, consider this product!

This is extremely quiet and runs well. If you have hard water I strongly suggest cleaning it after every use or the hard water deposits will build up

Honest reviews on Ultrasonic Humidifier w/ Nightlight by Air Innovations

This review is from: Ultrasonic Humidifier w/ Nightlight by Air Innovations no explanation was rec'd on the packaging slip which also indicated a (black unit). In addition, if you are looking for a humidifier to cover an extremely small area and I mean small (i.e. nursey room no bigger than -8 x 10then this might be useful. The item was ordered to cover a small bedroom, but I find it's just a waste of electricity. The machine runs full for approximately 5-6 hours, and then it's empty with a significant amount of water left in the base. I would only give this a (1) star rating and that's only b/c of the style, size and it is indeed a quiet device. Overall dissappointed.

Item: BestAir Extended Life Humidi-WICK.

Rating: 4/5 (good)

Changing humidifier wicks (for "evaporative" type humidifiers) is a necessary evil and recurring annual expense. It's necessary because after a few short weeks, the hardness in your water will be left behind as a precipitate in the wicks, turning them hard. Also, bacteria and mold/mildew can begin to build up, causing an off-smell and discoloration. These things will occur no matter which brand of wick you buy, so the only essential criteria that matter with regards to buying wicks is:

* Do they fit your make/model of humidifer ?

* Do they have a good evaporation rate throughout their lifespan ?

* Do they maintain their physical integrity (i.e., not fall apart) ?

* Are they a decent value, compared to similar brands ?

In my case, the answer for this brand appears to YES on all 4 counts. Previously, I'd always bought Holmes HWF-100's, but as of this writing these are less expensive. This package includes 6 filters (3 pairs), which in my region is enough to last me one winter season (just over 1 month per pair).

Recommended.

p.s. Terminology nit: amazon, and various vendors and reviewers frequently (and erroneously) refer to these as "filters". They are, in fact, "wicks". Any filtration that occurs happens indirectly, as a result of the wicking and evaporative process.

I bought the filter for a Holmes humidifier. The filters are backed with aluminum which makes each panel more sturdy, however it also makes it pokey. Not enough to injure but not very comfortable. The filter pack has plastic clips that are intended to hold the filter to the filter insert. They are slightly ridiculous, but the filters work without them on my model. The filters hold water well and work as expected. I liked that they came in a pack of 6. My humidifier takes two at a time. It is nice to have some replacements.

What a great value. Perfect fit and function at a price lover than others. Even omes with replacement clips to hold them securely in place.

Works fine as well as any other. Just buy a quart of safe bacteriostatic fluid and use a drop or two from a tiny eyedropper with refills and then replace the wicks when they get all crusty with mineral build up. Note -these are only $8 at Target

Buy EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier

EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars
Buy Now
We purchased this unit last week to help cool our RV. It's a nice looking unit (a little difficult to move as it has no handle), and had a nice wide blowing area when it pivots. The problem is the temperature of the air it blows doesn't change whether it's on fan mode or evaporative cooling mode. I tested it by putting a thermometer about a foot away and ran it on each mode for 1/2 hour. The internet vendor says to contact the manufacturer, and the manufacturer informed me that since the air curtain gets wet and it changed the temp by 2 degrees, then the unit is working, just not as well as expected (the sales literature mentions a 12 degree difference.) So my choices now are to pay the postage and 15% restocking fee to return it and/or perhaps have it worked on (except that the company rep kept insisting that it worked so what could they do?) or keep it and use it as a fan that I paid way too much for.

I've been through two of these. The first produced room temperature air directly from the fan louveres. I am in a Very low humidity area. Also when the unit is turned off but still plugged in ,the control panel gets almost too hot to touch. Edgestar service said everything seems normal but allowed me to return the unit. It is a really nice looking cooler and I wanted it to work so I got a replacement. The second unit produced 4 degree cooler air. The controls still got hot enough for me to consider it a fire hazard. The ocillating feature also didn't work. This unit was also returned. The service Tech let it slip that 4 degrees was about normal and the catch was " Up To " 12 degrees cooler. A much cheaper tower fan would probably be a better choice than this.

Best Deals for EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier

Just an expensive fan after the water cooling part of it broke. It only lasted about a month before breaking. Didn't cool even our very small room when it did work. If you stood right in front of the air flow, it felt cooler. When it was over 100 degrees, that was somewhat helpful in keeping our baby a little more comfortable in her nursery, so I was sad when it stopped working. I'll update if customer service ever gets back to me (I had to leave a message) and if they can get it fixed. Update: they called back that very day and paid to have it shipped back to them to fix (I had to pay to have it boxed b/c I didn't keep the box).

Honest reviews on EdgeStar Portable Air Cooler & Purifier

Anyone who has been stuffed in a cubicle or works in a stuffy office knows how much one of these would be appreciated. I got this one for myself and was so pleased that I bought one for my father and co-worker as a gift.

This specific unit is good for me because of the ionic air purifier. It works especially good with smoke odor as well as any other office stench. Pretty much everyone in my office has an air cooler but I had read great reviews on this one and how it actually cools the space around it as some other air coolers are pretty much fans, this one really does lower the temperature.

This definitely provides cooling to a room. But it's louder than I would like and blows air like a fan. Not sure I see the difference btw using water with it. The unit is cool as it is-not sure the water makes it any cooler.

Buy Hunter 31960 Demineralization Tablet for 31004 Humidifier

Hunter 31960 Demineralization Tablet for 31004 Humidifier
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars
Buy Now
I purchased these because they were advertised to reduce the white dust that's endemic to ultrasonic humidifiers. After a couple weeks of use, the dust was in fact made worse. Furthermore, it caused the vapor to actually hang in the air so that there was a slight haze in the room. I suspect the tablets are mostly salt as used in any water softener, but there is no ingredient list on the packaging or anywhere else I could find on the internet. I suspect the tablets are only good for preventing the white minerals that builds up on surfaces INSIDE the humidifier (this happens with any humidifier type). It does nothing for the minerals that are vaporized and put into the air that later settle down all over one's furniture. Perhaps their performance is related to water hardness--but mine is not particularly hard. Exceptionally disappointing-I'm still looking for a solution.

I have a The Sharper Image EV-HD10 Cool Mist Ultrasonic 1-Gallon Humidifier with Clean Mist Technology and this tablet really only lasts for one gallon. I haven't been totally convinced that it helped with white dust but it seems to have helped kill any musty bacterial growth, which is good enough for me.

It might prolong the life of the humidifier or decrease smells and mineral buildup, but it does not eliminate white dust. Don't buy it if your goal is to do that.

Best Deals for Hunter 31960 Demineralization Tablet for 31004 Humidifier

The demineralization tablets packaging states it "eliminates white dust" amongst other claims. They not only fail to eliminate the white dust, using them in my humidifier created even more white dust. I emailed the Hunter company and explained my dissatisfaction with their product and the only response from Hunter was that "the tablets were not tested or approved for humidifiers of any other manufacturer" than Hunter. I responded back to Hunter and advised them that their packaging does not indicate they may not work in other brand humidifiers.

Therefore, if you own an ultrasonic humidifier that is not Hunter's brand, my advise would be to not waste your money on these tablets.

Honest reviews on Hunter 31960 Demineralization Tablet for 31004 Humidifier

I bought these tablets because we had been seeing some white dust on furniture and such, when using a cool mist humidifier.

After filling the tank and placing one tablet in the tank, I noticed that it dissolved in minutes not a week. I was careful to place in the tank AFTER it was done filling with water. So then after doing this and letting the unit run, we noticed a haze in the house. Not just some white dust but our house filled with a white haze. The white residue from these tablets is a whole lot worse than the white dust that comes without using these.

They were expensive considering they lasted for only 1 tankful of water. And the dust they created will be forever to get rid of.

Don't make the same mistake I just made......use distilled water or something else not these tablets.

I put in 3 of these tablets into my ultrasonic humidifier. I thought this would allow me to use regular water instead of distilled. Wrong. The tablets had ZERO effect. White dust everywhere. Complete waste of money. There ought to be a law against selling completely useless products.

Cheap Blueair 650E Digital HEPASilent Air Purifier

Blueair 650E Digital HEPASilent Air Purifier
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
First, I would like to give a shout out for the folks at "Best Vacuum." I was having difficulty finding the Blueair 650E, and after trying to buy one at Best Vacuum, they called me and set things up so I could order one from their website. They delivered it overnight FedEx for free...a rare deal now a days! They were very good people to work with; they sell all accessories as well, so they have me as a new customer. (I do NOT work for Best Vacuum or have any relationship with them except business.)

So, my initial impressions having this unit a little over a week. I will come back later and update the review. But for now, this is what I know:

CONS:

(1) I sent three separate emails to Blueair; Two before I bought, and one after. None have been answered. This was always a deal breaker for me...I would not buy from anyone who would not respond to potential customers. However, after reading all the specs for this unit, many, many reviews both professional and from customers, and speaking with tech support on the phone, I broke my own rule and purchased it from Best Vacuum.

(2) Other than that, I am stunned by how they designed the back lit control panel on the 650E, which is used to report dust and particle numbers, use the timer, and check how many filter days are left. It also tells you the fan speed. First, they put this control panel all the way to the bottom left in front. You literally have to bend over all the way to see the panel. Even thought the panel is back-lit, the back light turns off shortly after its last use. So, at least when the back light was on, you might be able to stand back a few feet and read the panel standing up. But not for long...the back light turns off, and I need a flashlight and must bend all the way over to read it. I don't know what they were thinking. They say that the back light does not stay on as some people do not like the light at night; what would be wrong with an off and on switch so the user can decide?

PROS:

(1) The CADR numbers for this unit are unparalleled in home market air purifiers: >400, >450, AND >450. Wow! These numbers come after being tested and certified buy AHAM..the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. This was the primary reason I considered this model. These are the highest numbers that can be given, and I believe that only Blueair holds this distinction.

(2) Speed 1 is very quiet, and could be used at night. Speed two, the recommended day setting, is slightly louder; it can be heard but its not very annoying. Speed 3, the highest, does make noise. I just think of it as the sound of cleaner air being generated. There is also an automatic mode. The unit runs on speed 1 until it detects dust or smells in the house, then kicks itself up to #2 or #3, depending on the strength of the offending agent. It works so well that I can sit ten feet away from it and put waterless, gel type hand cleaner on and it will almost instantly pick up the odor and crank itself up.

(3) Its made of metal and comes with a remote control. The remote has a magnet in it, and you can stick it on the top or sides of the Blueair should you want.

(4) The unit is on heavy duty castors and moves around on my carpet with no problems.

(5) And finally, although the jury is NOT in yet on this, but it seems that it may very well do a great job at dust removal. We have two, top of the line Rabbit Air purifiers in our home, and have had them for about 2 years. No doubt they have helped, but we have a very unusual amount of dust in our home. Over the last 4-5 days, it seems that it really is making a dent in cooperation with the Rabbits. Again, its to early to tell for sure, but I will update this when I have an Answer. I have spent a lot of time testing it myself at home and putting it thru different tests; I'm not crazy, but after spending over $900.00 dollars, I must be pretty much convinced that it is making a MAJOR improvement for us.

Best Vacuum gives a 30 day, no questions asked return policy. They will pay for return shipping, and even have FedEx pick the box up at your home. Amazon has a direct link to Best Vacuum you can find after searching for "Blueair 650E" on their website. Best Vacuum will be one of the authorized sellers.

For now, we are very happy, but need much longer to judge its effectiveness. I will be back to update this review.

Thanks for reading. Hope it helped.

Read many reviews and research several brands. Decided to go with the 650E. It is great! I have bad allergies and I am not taking any of my meds. for them now. It is a good feeling not to wake up sneezing and runny nose every morning. Seemed a bit expensive at first, but now I am glad I spent the money. Probably the only con I would have would be the size, but it isn't very heavy and on rollers. Good job, Blueair!!

A better home air purifier is probably not developed as good as the Blueair. Only complaint is the description on the two main units for sale. Being in immediate need for several air cleaners, had I known there was the digital available, would not have purchased the other units sold by Blueair. That was a several hundred dollar mistake, however, it is the description, not the product.

My remote lasted a day before breaking. The overall product, however is very good. Our air seems improved and smells fresh whenever we enter the house. I recommend!

it works really well. there are three speeds. The speed between 2 and 3, however, is very different (seems like there is a missing speed 3.5)

Love the fact that it's made in Sweden, a U.S. ally, NOT from China (a nation whose nuclear missiles are pointed to the U.S. to destroy us, which I do not know why people from this nation buys items made in China and funds their military industrial complex to build more missiles to destroy us and our allies).

I have it on speed 2 all the time and it suits me well. It is able to clean my entire 2nd floor home unit (kitchen, living room, bathroom, hallway, dining room and two bedrooms)

Well like everyone else says, this product is ok for temperature but leaves a lot to be desired for reading humidity. This being said, with a few mods it works fine as a hygrometer. I added a few more holes with a drill approx 1/8" and now it actually reads humidity quite well. I added a total of 13 holes around the unit, 5 on each side and 3 on the bottom. Now it adjusts the humidity reading every 15-20 seconds and levels out in about 10 minutes and actually reads the right humidity when compared to my dial hygrometer. So this tells me that there is a design flaw with the amount of air flow allowed by the factory vents, thus not allowing the unit to process the volume of air needed to make accurate readings.

ok had it a week and like another reviewer stated the LCD readout has gone blank in a few spots. not dim just not there anymore. Its junk. Off to buy another Hygrometer from someone else.

Bought 2 of these the other day. Opened them up, put in the battery, and they were ready to go. I bought two of them so I could install them in each of my childrens bedrooms so I could tell the range of the temp and humidity each of thier rooms. First I put these next to my house thermostat which has a current temp and humidity displayed. After 1 hour of being in the same room right next to the thermostat both of the Cheney units read exactly what the temp was, and the humidity on both units were the reading the exact same (7 units higher) then my house thermostat. I don't know if my house unit is accurate or not but at least the two Cheney units read the same for temp & humidity. If they read differently than each other than I would say they weren't accurate but since both read the exact same things I give them two thumbs up and agree this is a great buy, especially since it displays the current temp and humidity and displays the daily low/high for each. Great Product!!!! Small, lightweight, has magnet on back to stick to fridge or can use clip to attach it to belt, or anything it can clip to. It also can be placed on a desk, shelf, etc but standing it on end with the attached stilt.

I bought this same hygrometer packaged as Acu-Rite brand from a Mill's Fleet Farm for $9.99 more than a year ago. I've always had it turned on since then, and I've never had to change the batteries. I tested the unit not long after I bought it and again just yesterday (using the NaCl and distilled water test and the Boveda humidipak kit) and after 8 hours the display stabilized at 75% just as it should. I also made a Potassium Carbonate test and it was stable at 43% after ~18hrs. This is great to see from a $10 unit. I've traveled with this product and it has held up through that as well. I've never tested the accuracy of the thermometer, as I mainly bought this instrument to read RH in an instrument (guitar) room, and guitar cases. I've also owned "The Weather Channel" brand weather stations with built in hygrometers that were more than twice the cost of this product, and found them to read more than 10% off when testing.

Maybe I got lucky and happened to buy a accurate unit, but from my experience with this I highly recommend buying yourself one.

PS I have since had relatives buy these units and they were not as accurate as the one I bought, so I guess I really might have just been lucky. The other units seemed to report higher humidity then existed (when RH was 40%, they showed +3-5%, which is considerable). The plus side is that they don't seem to get worse over time, so if you know the unit to be off by a certain amount, you should be able to predict the actual RH.

Honest reviews on AcuRite 613 Indoor Humidity Monitor

We use a number of these in our cabinet shop and at job sites. Despite other's complaints about accuracy, we have found them to be quite reasonable, especially considering their low price. If you put ours side by side they will all stabilize to within a few percent of each other. They are small, yet the display is very easy to read. They use only a single AA battery. The only down side is that the 24 hour high and low display is not resettable without taking out the battery, but that's only a down side if you are looking for min/max in a time frame other than 24 hours.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for AcuRite 613 Indoor Humidity Monitor

I have given these away to clients when I do an energy audit on their home. Before I give them out, I usually set several up at a time and let them stabilize on a table in my home. I have found that most of them read the same, so they are usually accurate, in spite of the fact that the accuracy for RH is listed as +/-5%. Then I discovered that they do not read RH below 20%. I also have discovered that none of the RH meters on the market, costing less than about $80, will read RH below 20%, which is not good if you have a drafty house that has very low RH in winter.

Whynter RPD-401W Energy Star 40 Pint Portable Dehumidifier

We don't use the A/C much and the weather sure gets damp and oppressive at times. Our son got us these units for Christmas and we just started using them in March. Not the most interesting gift but turns out they are probably one of the better gifts I received.

This Whynter 65 pint dehumidifier is a must have in the muggy weather. We have a 40 pint unit in our bedroom and this 65 pint unit in the living room. Both are set to run continuously via the drain tube which we custom extended so that it drain into our flower bed outside. No sense wasting good water. We have both on probably 12-16 hours a day since I do work from home as well.

It has made a noticeable difference in the temperature you feel on your person. The lack of moisture makes breathing a lot easier as well and we've notice significantly less mildew growth on the walls in the bathroom or near a sink. There is a constant water flow in the tubes showing that these are really taking the damp out of the air. Both have been running very well and at this point we hardly notice them in the background. The are rather quiet when not on high fan speed.

We are very pleased with them and will get another for the basement very soon. They also look much nicer than your average dehumidifier.

I bought it at Costco for the 90 day return policy. I ordered it online on 2.13.13 and received it today, 2.19.13. Email alerts were right on the mark.

I would rate the noise, EXCELLENT. It is very quiet. I can only wonder how that will change over time. I've had a LG for about 4 years now. It still sucks the moisture out of the air, but, it is LOUD. I'm going to set it up in the garage.

I would rate the set up as Excellent. Using the controls was a snap.

The reason I'm only giving it 3 stars, instead of 4, is that the humidity meter shows a much lower level of humidity then my RMR203HGA Oregon Scientific Temperature and Humidity Station shows.by about 6 or 7%. This shuts the machine off too soon when using the auto shut off. I'm not overly concerned about this because I can set the auto shut off to a lower humidity to compensate. But if you don't mind this one little issue, then, this is a machine for you.

Frankly, the big plus is the low noise level, even on Turbo speed. We use it in our living room, small house built in the 50s with no insulation and we live in a damp climate. We don't use a dehumidifier in the summer, but, in the winter the condensation on the windows is remarkable. Using a dehumidifier clears up the condensation quickly.

I will write an update down the road. If the humidity meter isn't too annoying, which it probably would be for the perfectionist, I expect to raise this to 4 stars. I never give 5 stars. There is always room for improvement.

Update 3.6.13 Still the only issue is the humidity reading. I don't know which is off, but, it is only 6 or 7 points. We are very pleased at how quiet it is. We run it in the living room. It does not interrupt TV or conversations. If turned up high then it is a little, but by no means an annoyance. I still rate this purchase high.

This little diffuser works like a charm. I use it beside me on my nightstand. I run a small fan at night because we get warm so this has helped me keep my sinuses hydrated. I usually wake up with a sinus headache, but using this diffuser along with some quality essential oils, has kept it away.

I did not use the oil that it came with. Even though it states, "100% Pure Lavender Oil", I knew it wasn't because of the disclaimer that we could not ingest it. (If you find quality CPTG oils to use, you can actually ingest and experience the benefits of the oil that way.) Anyway, I had given my boss the oil that this device came with and she used it in her own diffuser in the office. I've found that she needed to use 6-8 drops to get some sort of decent scent to expel from it. (Whereas I only need 1-3 drops using the quality essential oil.) And I've also found that the less quality oils made my throat a bit "scratchy" as if irritated. I had her throw them out. I didn't want that type of sythetic oil entering my body and causing my throat to do that. (So now we use an essential oil called "Wild Orange" at the office.)

The light is a very nice feature. It can operate independently from the diffuser setting. It has four color settings, each with a high and low setting. I've found that the lowest and less intrusive setting (for sleeping) is the low red setting.

I like that the diffuser has the timer setting. Mine usually shuts off before all the water is gone. Which is fine. I normally wake up at least one time at night for a bathroom trip so when I come back, I simply put it back on and it operates for another few hours or until the water runs out. (Oh, and I always use bottled water, I don't want to be using the hard water from my faucet.)

The only con that I have, is that when it shuts off, it shuts off with a beep. It doesn't wake me up, but if you're a light sleeper, that may be a problem for you.

My parents both had some sort of respiratory issue and I let them borrow the device one night. (My husband complained that he knew he wasn't going to sleep well that night.) They were convinced that they will need to acquire one of their own soon, especially with a particular essential oil I had placed into the device that helped them. (I used "Breathe" for them.) When I got the device back, it was greatly missed in my home. Even the dog was a bit restless, as he usually is deeply snoring when I'm using Lavender oil.

This would be great next to you on a nightstand, or on your desk. But it is definitely powerful enough to fill your room with the scent. It does start off light, but after the device has been running for a bit, the vapor can really be seen.

I've posted some pictures up to help describe this device a bit more. I really wish somebody had posted some pictures up before I bought this device, because like most of us, we go into some purchases blindly. But I do not regret this purchase.

I wanted something a little prettier for the family room than the 'UFO' style ultrasonic diffusers I had been using before (shaped like UFO's with blue led lights), so I bought this, and the 'UFO's' are now in use in my craft room and bedroom only. This diffuser works brilliantly...it puts out a high and dense stream of mist and diffuses my aromatherapy oils throughout the room just as well (actually better) than my 'UFO's'. There are 2 small disadvantages in comparison the the UFO's....the first is that the timer only goes for a maximum of 180 minutes, 3 hours, and I would prefer a bigger version that would do at least 8 hours before having to refill. The only other disadvantage is that the electrical connector to the diffuser plugs in underneath the appliance, then the cord has to be threaded through a slot in order for the diffuser to sit level. This makes it quite fiddly to remove so that you can take the diffuser to the sink to rinse out or fill, making it necessary to use a small jug of water for this. I would prefer it to connect at the side because of this. It does, however, work like a dream and I am very happy overall with my purchase.

I bought this unit a few months ago and had eventually had an issue with it. I posted my review online and was immediately contacted by their customer service team. They asked me of my issue and sent out a brand new machine! Not only did they contact me a couple days after delivery (free delivery) but they also contacted me again tonight asking how the diffuser was working out! I've had this unit for 2 weeks now and love it. The colors are wonderful. My children love to play around with the different colors. It puts out a great scentjust be sure to not fill it up all the way. It won't leave room for it to be able to circulate the water/oil mixture enough to create the humidity. Fill it up halfway and it works great.

Also, the plug-in fits both ways into my outlets, but only works one way. So if you have trouble with it, try flipping it to the other side!

It's small enough to fit behind my alarm clock of my bedside table. The sounds of the water trickling inside, the scents, and the colors are perfect for night night time! And the humidity (notenot meant for it to be a full room humidifier)is good for the sinuses :) I even put it in different rooms of the house for different reasons. Eucalyptus oils for my kids when they get sick, lavender for down time, orange for UP time!

I definitely recommend!

I've only had this for a couple of weeks, but I really like it. It is not a humidifier. It's purpose is to diffuse the essential oil through a water vapor. The stream of vapor is small, but the oil diffuses great and the aroma spreads far.

I love that it has the timer feature! I have some oils that I only want to diffuse for 30 minutes. I can set the timer and it will shut itself off.

It uses 100 ml of water and it can run for several hours on this small amount of water.

The design is simple and goes with any decor. It is small, only 6" tall and 3"wide and does not take up much space.

As I have had it for only a short while, I cannot attest to it's longevity.

If you are expecting this to double as a humidifier, it doesn't. If you are looking for something to diffuse your oils in the air, this little guy is it!

The old valve had plastic body, became deformed, and started leaking. This one is all metal and works great!Replacing the old one was easy and just took a few minutes.
