This doesn't fit the aprilaire 500 humidifier. It is about 2 to 3 inches too short. Should not be listed as a replacement.

I purchased this to replace the cracked and leaking feed tube on our Aprilaire 600... easy to replace/install, runs like new.. and less than $20 at that!! saved me about $200 or more by NOT having to call the HVAC guys to come do it!!

The tube is too short for my Aprilaire. The ad information said it would fit my unit, but it doesn't.

Not happy.

Honest reviews on #4335 Aprilaire Feed Tube with Compressor Sleeve

When I first received this the small white ring would not fit over the grey tube at all. After contacting the seller they promptly sent me another set and the white ring was correctly on the tube. After getting this resolved the install was straight forward.

After install be sure to test the water flow to make sure it is at a fast drip. Even though the directions say to run your water valve completely open, some homes will have too high of water pressure and push more water through the tube than needed.

I broke the feed tube to my aprilaire humidifier while performing maintenance on the water grid inside. This part was an easy to install replacement. Works very well.

I went looking for an affordable ultrasonic humidifier because I was tired of noisy fans and the other problems associated with evaporative machines. After a lot of research, I decided to try this one, partly because of its simplicity and partly because of pricing (i.e. not a disaster if it didn't work out). I was a little dubious about the small reservoir size, but it's not a problem at all. To keep a rather large room at ca. 35% in the dead of winter in MN (very dry subzero weather), one fill will last a bit over 24 hours, and of course longer than that in less extreme conditions. It's perfectly simple to fill and clean, and wonderfully quiet--just a steady hum that I barely notice, with occasional little glurps.

So far I've only seen a little white dust on the device itself, but not on nearby surfaces. The vapor seems to circulate best (i.e. up and out into the room) when it's placed well off the floor. On a 30" shelf, the vapor tended to flow downward, so I used a milk crate to raise it up a bit more, and that solved the problem. The only issue I've had with it so far was a fairly strong plastic/chemical smell at the beginning, but that's been diminishing with use. It's a great improvement over any of my previous humidifiers.

I like to make it short

Pro

1) Quiet

2) put out just right amount of mist for my 20 x 16' bedroom

3) Cheap and good looking design

4) Filter-less save money on filter

Con

1) White dust build up if using tap water 2 days of using it

2) Expensive if using distilled water as recommended by manufacturer$1/day I used distilled water for 3 days and it is free of white dust

I ended up using filtered water after 5th day instead for cost saving, but I have to let it stand for 24 hours before I fill the tank up just to let the fluorine getting out. This works best me.

No more white dust, no more frequent trip to grocery store for distilled water, and best of it, no filter replacement but just my drinking water filter only

I have been using this humidifier for several nights. It is so quiet that you barely know it is on. The mist is very fine and gentle. I have had no problem with leaking or condensation. I have always used distilled water in my humidifiers because we have very hard water in our area. So, I really have no need for an expensive filter. It is super easy to fill and use. Plus, it has the added bonus of being really cute! I also just ordered the pig shaped version for another room. SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier

I was looking for a very quiet humidifier for a bedroom. I had purchased a different brand (Hunter) humidifier because the box says that it is supposed to be "ultra-quiet." It has a much more forceful motor and puts out quite a bit of vapor, which may be useful in certain circumstances. But it sounds like a big truck motor compared to the quiet little penguin.

Honest reviews on SPT SU-3750 Ultrasonic Penguin-Shaped Humidifier

This is an excellent product. We own three and have used them for two years now. We even take one with us when we travel. Some of the common problems people have mentioned with this humidifier are easily solved if the unit is used correctly. For problems with the unit running for hours without the water level dropping, you have not properly seated the tank on the base. You need to be sure the white valve inside the tank pops up when the tank is placed on the base. If it is not properly seated the water will not enter the base, thus no mist.

Next, for problems with the mist sinking to the ground, we had this problem before I realized what was happening. I had one unit placed on a thin fabric placemat thinking to protect the wooden nightstand. This only caused a problem. The unit needs to be placed on a completely flat, solid surface, not fabric of any kind. Try it place the unit on a fabric surface and watch the mist fall. Then place it on a solid surface and the mist rises beautifully. I was making a problem where there wasn't one. Without the fabric the unit performed beautifully and the mist has never damaged the beautiful cherrywood surface. With the fabric underneath, the mist sunk and soaked said fabric, causing problems unnecessarily.

Lastly, as to the comments about unit running, all put together properly, but no mist, we also had that issue. This was due to the base of the unit getting overfilled. Not sure how we managed that, because if you seat the tank on the base properly, only the right amount of water passes through. Easily solved, however. I dumped the water from the base, and put the filled tank back on and voila! Misting perfectly again.

This product is super easy to fill, inexpensive, requires no filters, and works GREAT. It does require a little care, as the problems outlined above are all due to human error. If you have hard water it will definitely cause a white dust to form on the unit and possibly surrounding surfaces. This is easily cleaned and hasn't damaged anything we own, but you will have to do the appropriate cleanings as recommended.

The only imperfection we found was that the light on the front to indicate the unit is on burned out quickly on all our units. This was not a problem for me, as I did not care for the bright red light anyway, as these are used in bedrooms at night. But for someone who relies on seeing the light to remember the unit is running, this could be an issue. Since it happened to all three of ours, I suspect it could be a broad issue. But it has no effect on the efficiency of the unit.

The unit is cute but not cutesy. My kids love it, and my husband doesn't mind it. As with anything, you have to teach your children proper care around an appliance. The good thing is that the mist is cool, so no chance of burns. It's also quite sturdy and solid, it's not easy to knock over. We've had them for over two years in three rooms with kids who are now 3 and 7, and never yet had an incident. Not to say it couldn't happen, but with proper care this product should serve you well for a long time. I highly recommend this product.

It works fine for only 20 minutes, and then I have to shake the unit to work again all night long.

I figued out water in the container didn't drop to the working place (making mist) properly. Plenty of water is in the container, but there is not enough water in the mist making part after 20 min later.

After inserting thick paper between the water tank and the main electric part, it works now.

I will drill the unit to make a hole for airflow.

What a fun machine!

I purchased this yesterday while I was trying to shop with watering eyes and a stuffy nose. I placed it on a shelf by my bed last night and finally had something that would help me breathe in the extra dry inside air. The light mist is cool and adds just enough moisture to keep nasal passages and eyes moisturized. It is very easy to set up and move. A 16 oz. bottle of regular drinking water acts as the reservoir and lasts more than 8 hours, depending on how high the mister is set.

I only had this product for about two months, and maybe used it a total of 5 nights. And yet, it started to grow mold and rust. I was very disappointed because I could totally tell the difference when I did turn it on -my sinuses were cleared! And yet, the mold and rust concern me.

I called home to have my daughter read me the reviews when I saw this in the store as we had so many sick at home we needed another vaporizer/humidifier. I am not too difficult to please generally. But this is a joke. Did they pay the other reviewers?

OK, enough about my wasted money (about $25 because I had a coupon).

It makes a huge mess. Even my 11 year old remarked about the mess. We put it on a large dinner plate which was loaded with water by the time it was done. More than one night we did this with the same results.

Adjustable? No, it is high output no matter where you put the knob.

My only consolation was that the blue light and the high moisture output made it look like a rocket on the launch pad in Florida about to take off. Not much consolation for the lost $25.

I rely heavily on the reviews here on Amazon. I hope you can make a better decision than I did.

Don;t really know if these filters work because I don't know how to tell that. However, the price was great (beat our local prices by 50%) and the service fast. Would highly recommend this purchase. The filters do grab tons of dog hair (and you can actually scoop out the dog hairwe have four dogs and a cat). They last much longer than the smaller filters and came with a great review from our local HVAC company that charged us twice this price for them.

I would recommend them and would highly recommend this source for purchases.

I use these presorb filters on my Vornado AQS35 filter system and they are fabulous. I change them every few months and change the HEPA filter less often. I have two filter systems, one in the "bird" room where I keep my Cockatiels (and my computer), and the other upstairs near our bedrooms. The bird room is clean as can be bedause little of the Cockatiel dander hits the floor, so I have little to do at the end of the day when I clean cages except sweep up spilled pellets and seeds. I have never been bothered by Cockatiel or any other bird dander since I got the Vornado filter systems. I have allergies and a less effective filtration system in my office, so I notice air quality right away. Don't give up your bird, get an air filtration system from Vornado.

Oh yes, they are quiet. The system makes a comforting sound, something like the distant roar of the ocean when you are at the beach, so your sleep will not be disturbed if you have one in your bedroom. In fact, I often think of it as "white" noise for street noises.

Sunbeam Ultrasonic Visible Mist Humidifier Reviews

Sunbeam Ultrasonic Visible Mist Humidifier
Customer Ratings: 2.5 stars

I mostly concur with all the points made by the brimar's review. If you know what to expect from an ultrasonic humidifier, this one does the job adequately. However, to add or highlight a few points:

-if you set the unit on high, it will easily put out more vapor than it can disperse into the air, which will result in soaking the surfaces in front of the humidifier (not a problem unique to this humidifier).

-it lacks a humidistat. (That's a dial like a thermostat that automatically turns off the mist output when the desired level of humidity is reached.) You can find other humidifiers in this same price range that include this feature.

-the tank is very tall, and you fill it from the bottom, so don't be surprised if you end up having to fill it in your bathtub. (This is also a problem many current humidifier models suffer from. Most have awkwardly shaped tanks that either don't fit under a typical bathroom sink tap and/or don't balance when turned upside down.)

In summary, this unit has some of the same flaws seen in many current humidifiers, making it average.

Bought this last year & we only used it 3-4x, for a total of maybe 16 hours of use. It worked great & we had no complaints. Dried it & stored it according to instructions & brought it out this year. After the initial use of about 2 hours it stopped creating mist. Turn to the instruction "leaflet" that was included with it when we bought it and the only "solutions" for the humidifier not creating mist were: 1. It ran out of water; refill the tank -OR2. It's not plugged in, or it is plugged in but isn't turned on high enough. Thanks, but I'm not an idiot, so it was plugged in, filled with cool water & turned on HIGH and still no mist. Tried cleaning it thoroughlyeven though it wasn't really dirty and made no difference. A vast waste of money & I will certainly check reviews before purchasing my next humidifier. Thought we could just pick up any one because we don't use it often, but clearly I was wrong.

Best Deals for Sunbeam Ultrasonic Visible Mist Humidifier

This is a good humidifier, not great. I'll keep this simple:

Pros:

-Large enough tank so you don't have to refill often, once every couple days if you run it for 3-5 hours in the evening

-Very quiet, can't hear the fan but you can hear the bubbler (ultrasonic metal disk in the bottom)

-Doesn't require filter

Cons:

-If the water runs out, the ultrasonic disk will get VERY hot (trust me, I touched it) and mine didn't shut off automatically -Now it only puts out half as much vapor

-Blower isn't large enough, the bubbler puts more vapor than the fan can blow, so the water vapor will get your floor soaked if you turn it on high

-approximately $40, too much. should cost about 20-30.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam Ultrasonic Visible Mist Humidifier

Use caution when using this appliance if you live in a hard-water area. I used it in a very dry room for about 4 weeks while recovering from surgery. The water in our area contains a lot of minerals, however there was no "danger" warning regarding this in the instruction manual. I am now under the medical care of several doctors for a chronic lung problem resulting from breating in the white powder the unit produces with hard water. I never had a problem before, and now regret this purchase wholeheartedly. I wouldn't want to see this happen to anyone else. Please, please! Purchase a humidifier that uses a filter.
