This cartridge stopped immediately the build up of minerals around the water deposit on my humidifier, it even seems to be taking off some of the build up that was already there.

Our humidifier requires a cartridge like this. Unfortunately you can't find it in stores so have to rely on ording on line. That being the case I ordered 2. One came in perfect shape & is working like a charm. The 2nd one not so good: some of the material inside the cartridge (carbon?) has leaked out & there are itsy bitsy little black balls the size of a pencil tip all over the place. Unfortunatly you won't find this out until you have already opened the product. Clearly the manufacturor has a quality control issue. So if you plan to buy this product, my advice...buy 2...that way you'll get at least one that isn't leaking material all over the place.

The first one we bought wasn't working correctly. We returned it and Amazon fed-exed another one. Thank you Amazon! Germ Guardian wasn't helpful at all. I called their help center to check if we were using it right and the return policy, and never got a call back, which was very odd. They don't have live people answering the phone, you just leave a message.

We got this for the mattress because we think there may be some mold in there. My boyfriend still has his cough, but that's probably because it's cold. So I can't say if it's effective or not.

If you are going to buy this, make sure you can buy it from a place that is very easy to exchange and return, seeing as our first one didn't work.

I am very impressed with the effectiveness of the Germ Guardian 18" wand. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is a little back breaking to use if you are sanitizing a low area.

When I took it to a hotel on vacation, I used it in the shower and could smell it killing the who knows what that was there. My pet toys, beds, personal hygiene items, computer, cell phones, remote controllers, cutting boards, countertops and many more surfaces are sanitized without the use of chemicals, YAH! I can now use pretty smelling surface cleaners and use the wand to get the down and dirty.

When I use the wand over areas that always harvest smells (basement drains) I can smell the burn of the elimination of germs.

I'm unsure what the other reviewers are so upset about, the wand does exactly what it was intended to do, kill germs. This technology is not new just not advertised as much as money making cleaning products. I have a personal unit that uses uv-c light to sanitize water had over 5 years.

The cord is convenient if using in the kitchen or bathroom, it's not very long so I do't use it much. Rechargeable batteries (4AA) get about 2 hours before needing to be changed. The battery cover was difficult to remove use a Metric 3.0. The cover that supports the uv light uses a different sized screwdriver. No accidental removal of the wrong cover.

The built-in safety feature turns the light off if you tilt the wand too much. Exposure to skin and eyes is a no-no.

Of course, I purchased mine from Costco.com so no worries about malfunctioning unit or return policy.

Now with the outbreak of Swiine Flu, I use it even more!

1. Feels cheaper than it looks. Don't let the shiny gray color in the picture fool you, it's plastic and not metal. I had bigger expectations because I already had the big brother to this wand, the beautiful stainless steel uv-c room sanitizer. If the wand was a nice white plastic, I would not care, but making it the gray color makes it look and feel like a cheap knock-off.

2. The wand can only be used 'face down'. I understand this is a safety feature, but I wish I had known about this before I bought it. I was going to wave the wand over part of a wall that I cleaned some mold off of, but positioning this wand so that the light faces anywhere but down turns the light off.

3. It's kind of big. It's such a lightweight unit, I dont' know why they didn't make the body tighter.

The wand has good points to it (check out the other reviews), but I personally was disappointed with what I paid for it. NOTE: Prices on these things have dropped a lot since I bought mine, and they seem to be getting more in line with what I think I should have paid for it.

Honest reviews on germguardian LW18 UV-C Light Wand

I bought this for a single purpose, for which it exceeded my expectations.

I'm allergic to mold. In 2009 I moved into a new apartment and found I was allergic to the fridge/freezer. There was no visible mold but every time I opened the door I got a face full of allergens that left me feeling nauseous and made my eyes sting. I tried cleaning the whole thing with a bleach solution : no change. I tried running a small HEPA filter in the fridge : no effect. So what to do? Buy a new fridge/freezer, or give UVC a whirl?

The following is one of those "don't try this at home folks" things, but I'll tell you what I did. First I unplugged the fridge/freezer from the wall. Then I removed the cover plate at the back of the freezer to expose the cooling fins. Then I masked all visible wiring because I was afraid the UVC light might cause the insulation to go brittle and crack, which could be dangerous. Then I set up the germ guardian to shine on the cooling fins. I used the one hour timer, set it going, and left the room. After an hour I came back and moved the wand to shine on a different section of the cooling fins. I repeated this 5 times until I'd covered them all. By the time I'd finished the whole house smelled of refrigerator mold. I put it back together, plugged it in, opened all the windows and went to bed assuming I'd just wasted my money on the wand...

By next morning, the mold smell had dissipated from the house. I opened the freezer door, and ... no mold smell! None. Nada. I've used the HEPA filter I mentioned inside the fridge compartment ever since in an effort to prevent a regrowth, and here we are almost two years later and ... no mold.

Fantastic.

Since then I've used the germ guardian on clothes I've bought which have turned out to be moldy right from the store (again, not visible mold, but enough to set off my allergies). Washing has had no effect, but a few minutes under the germ guardian has transformed unwearable clothes into wearable clothes.

If it's so wonderful, why only 4 stars? Because the device has an annoying tilt switch which kills the light if you turn the germ guardian to shine upwards. This makes it virtually impossible to disinfect upwards, and, even more annoyingly, very difficult to disinfect horizontally too : the switch tends to trip even when the light is pointing sideways. I understand that this is a safety feature, but I also wish there was a way to disable it, because not everything can be placed below the wand.

The holding time is really boring... I suggest a attachment of a 2 inch holder from the wand to the object, so we could just place it there 2 inches away without holding it!!

I can tell this lamp really works because you can smell a tiny bit of "burn" after you scan it on carpet, but it won't heat up anything so I dont think it'll actually set something on fire. It's really light weight so I didn't have a problem on scanning stuff with it on a extended period of time. You can always just leave it facing down and let it "burn the bacteria" and move it say once every 10 seconds, doesn't really have to hold on to it. And the auto shout off system is when u are really trying to make the UV light facing to u, It'll still work as long as u move less then 90 degree. So UV lighting the wall was no problem too (although it's impossible to do the ceiling...oh well)

This may be the best design ever, but I have not been able to have this devise work as advertised. The sensor is way off, (like 10 degrees. I have to "trick" the device into producing 71% humidity. I found that you have to "tweak" the settings routinely.

This item has never worked properly ever since I had it. It will only work on the battery pack, and the transformer decided to blow up after plugging it in.

Despite calibrating the unit it will work for about 2 days, the humidity slowly dropping, until you have to open the humidor and restart the thing. A waste of time and money.

I do not recommend.

Buy ReliOn WF813 Humidifier Wick Filter-2 Pack

Customer Ratings:

I saw the wf813 filter on amazon and thought good price and cheaper than going to the store. Well, I ended up going to Walmart and compared their wf813 filter and it comes down to this... the one's at walmart were twice as thick and stand up even when soaked with water, HENCE putting plenty of moisture into the air. The other one's from amazon might look the same in their picture but believe me when I say "I had to use paper clips to hold them up and they still wanted to fall over due to being thiner and they barely put any moisture into the air after hours of running. pay the extra .50 or .75 cents and go to Walmart. P.S. Looking at the picture the dark part of the filter was not there only the white part of the filter was there. Hope this clears things up for you.

WOW! Finally one that WORKS and doesn't wake the neighbors!

We have been through just about every type/brand of humidifier in our quest for the perfect one over the last 15 years. So when I pressed the "on" switch on our new "Venta Sonic VS205" I knew our quest was finally over. Out came an unbelievable "fog cloud" of humidity that gently wafted over the room. Later as the humidity level rose monitored by the nifty LCD readout on the front the unit suspended "cloud formation" and waited patiently until the room percentage had dropped below the set level and then resumed.

Pros::

1) Absolutley soundless!!! Many of the other brands worked fine but were so noisy we couldn't sleep.

2) Runs at least 24 hours on a fill (depending on what level you set it on ours is 45% 50%)

3) Instant gratification monitors the humidity level in your room not many actually do this you just have to guess and never really know so this is big.

Cons:

1) The only one it's a bit tricky to fill. Have to turn the tank upside down and unscrew the filter. As an Industrial Designer I could come up with at least 3 better ways to do this one being simply have another fill cap on the top. But this is really not a problem since the unit has so many other admirable features (AND you only have to do this once a day!!)

Having tried many different types of humidifiers to help ease the dry winter weather, I like this one the best.

1. Unlike evaporative humidifiers, there is no wick. After a few weeks, the wicks develop a moldy odor and need to be replaced.

2. It's very low maintenance: I've had 4 units now for several months (one in the master bedroom, one in each of the kids rooms, and one in my office) and the most I've had to do is wipe the base with a towel and clean some scale off the oscillator with the included brush.

3. It's easy to operate. Two knobs (humidity setting/spray power) and one button (mist temperature). It doesn't have a built-in humidistat, but that's an advantage as far as I'm concerned, since most reviewers say the ones that do are inaccurate anyway. $20 buys you a good hygrometer that you can place anywhere in the room. (I've got the Honeywell TM-005X)

4. It's very quiet. Really. You can barely hear it.

5. I was reluctant to buy an ultrasonic humidifier because, as others have noted, the mist only goes a short distance and it mainly humidifies the floor in front of it. But this unit has a pretty good kick to it. And here's a tip -buy a small fan (I use a Vornado Flippi V8) and use it to waft the mist up into the room. The Vornado on it's low setting is also barely audible, looks great, and takes up minimal space. The Venta-Sonic/fan combo will set you back considerably less than the Vornado humidifier with the built-in fan. Vornado V8 Flippi Personal Fan, Medium, Black

6. Yes, you have to turn the unit upside down to fill it up. Big deal. Don't you have to do this with every water tank?

7. Most important -it humidifies. It easily raises the humidity level 10 to 15% in a very large 15x 20 foot bedroom with a high tray ceiling.

I have had a Venta VS205 for several months. It does not have an LCD indicator on it -I think the VS207 has the LCD gauge. I think the picture on the web is incorrect. I live in a very dry climate. I have found the VS205 a delight. It is very quiet, works well, needs to be refilled about once a day. I operate it at about 1/2 speed in a 315 square foot second floor bedroom. At half power it raises humidity from 2% to 30%-35%, then maintains humidity at that level. No "white dust". The warm mist is not very warm, but I rarely use that function since I am more interested in the energy efficiency of cool mist operation. I like the removeable tank. At first I found flipping the tank over to fill it inconvenient, but I having filter access on the fill cap is an advancage. I am going to buy a second one for my first floor.

Honest reviews on Venta Ultrasonic Humidifier

This unit worked well enough for 10 months and then stopped fogging. I called the service number as it is still under warranty but they refused to take it back or offer any option other than return it to point of purchase. BB&B no longer sells these and insists that my only option is to contact Venta who loops me back in circles. Very poor service as others have stated so I replaced this for half the price from Lowes with a Hunter 33257 Hunter 33257 Carefree Humidifier Plus with Permawick with the new Permawick system that only requires a cleaning once a year instead of replacing the pricey filters every few months. While the Hunter produces much more noise on high the low setting is fine for sleeping. In addition the evaporative system does not produce any of the white dust that the Venta did. I live in Colorado and we have some of the purest water in the US flowing out of the Rockies so I don't feel there is any hope in an ultrasonic unit not producing copious amounts of white dust. We also have some very dry air and the Hunter also humidifies a larger area better without leaving the puddles that the Venta did. I'm going to call the parent company in Germany as I've found EU companies tend to care about the quality of outsourcing vs.US firms. I'll see how that goes and will revise this if a decent warranty solution is provided by them.

Stay clear of the Venta's for now though, take a look at the new Hunters with the Permawick, and save yourself some time, money, and frustration.

I have just started using a VS205, very impressed. Over a number of years I have used every type, from a fan pulling air through wet straw to real wicks, furnace mounts, and ultrasonics. The VS205 is doing very well so I have got online to see if I can find them cheaper. I then started reading reviews.

People you must use clean water. The white dust, slimes etc. are whats left after you remove the water from the source. White dust is from dissolved minerals. Slimes and algaes are either in your supply water or pulled out of the air they are everywhere. Mineral sediment can be cleaned with vinegar, its an acid which redissolves the minerals. Slimes and algaes can be killed with household bleach, you may have to scrub their residue to delay regrowth.

I have various qualities of water in my house as I use untreated for toilet flushing, then filtered and softened for dishwasher and clothes washer, then taste and odor filter for kitchen and bath, to reverse osmosis for drinking, cooking, and HUMIDIFIERS. Reverse osmosis removes dissolved solids which is what is causing the most problems and work with these units. All my humidifiers are more effecient and cleaner with the cleaner water. Wicks don't calcify as quick and I expect the Venta-Sonic to live a long life with RO water as it's supply. No, I am not affiliated with reverse osmosis sales, I purchased one for spotless rinsing of my motorcycle. I went ahead and piped it to refridgerater and kitchen sink. I decided to use it in humidifiers as it would reduce wick replacement. They can only be cleaned twice before deteriating too badly.

This is the grain of salt to take to other reviews. Enjoy!

I had this faucet professionally installed by an experienced contractor that I have used for years on other projects. On several repeat visits he tried to get the tube to seat down in the body but it never would stay. I've stood on my countertop and pushed it with all my weight, but the gaskets just roll up and out of their grooves, preventing a good seat. Hence it wobbles and it leaks badly when turned on. And the gaskets need replacing now. I replaced a perfectly functional faucet for the sake of good looks in my new kitchen. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I think this is a fancy piece of junk.

We liked the (apparent) design of the faucet and ordered one with what was supposedly a "satin nickel" finish.

Yuck! What arrived (in a box labeled Satin Nickel so I have no reason to believe they shipped the wrong one) was the color of dull aluminum. It looked like a cheap finish & did not match other items (Satin Nickel and stainless steel) in our kitchen.

UPDATE: 07/08/2013

Last update on the clock. I just really wanted to mention that 3 years later, mine is still going strong. Obviously, there are quite a few on here who have mentioned that their clocks stopped working. Mine still works well, even with regular use.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

UPDATE: 1/04/2011

I've had the clock now for 5 months and decided to do an update. I still enjoy it even after the novelty of it has worn off and everything works for me fine. No issues, no breakage of any kind, haven't lost the remote and the aromatherapy still works. Cons for me are still the same as I mentioned below. One additional thing I do not like that some other individuals have mentioned is a beep. An annoyingly 1 second cold monotone beep. What was Oregon Scientific thinking when they decidied to kill this lovely clock by inserting that beep? I mean, seriously?

Okay, so mine isn't an issue so much as listening to the sounds before I go to sleep as I really don't care for sound at bedtime. However, I can see how the other reviewers could be perturbed at being awakened at the end of their relaxing 15 minutes with that beep. I'd be super annoyed as well, what would be the point of even listening to it? Mine is the fact that the damn beep goes off five minutes before my alarm comes on. Wait, what? Yes. Five minutes before I get to hear the lovely sound of birds chirping or water cascading I get awoken by a "Beeeeeeeeeeeep". I, at this point, am already awake by the time my soft alarm goes off. What's the point? I don't get it. It's obvious to me that Oregon Scientific just has a sick sense of humor and they win this round.

Even though I hate them and wish they'd burn at this point, I still like the clock and would still potentially purchase it again. However, not above 60-70 bucks.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This might be a bit of a longer review, so bear with me. I figured with as much deliberation as I put into purchasing this item, maybe it might help someone else out.

This item came up on Amazon's deal of the day on August 10, 2010. A lot of moolah for a glorified alarm clock, right?

As I was contemplating purchasing this device, I started to read some of the comments left on the deal of the day comment board. The majority, if not all, were negative in regards to this device. I started to get swayed by reading these and had basically talked myself out of purchasing it; after all, what idiot would spend $70 on an alarm clock on sale?

Obviously this one.

What made me purchase it? After doing every bit of research I could do on this product for information (let me tell you, there isn't enough out there) a few things made me think, maybe it isn't that bad. First, I watched the video done by Oregon Scientific located on the Amazon page itself. A little cheesy, but hey, the chick's accent is pretty soothing, I think they did that on purpose though. Secondly, I went to Walmart and checked out their alarm clocks/diffusers/multiple function devices (yep, in the same day just to verify prices), and they ranged anywhere from $10 for a cheap little digital one, up to $30-$60+ for ones with a little bit more technology (IE: AM/FM radio, cd player, iPod adapter, etc.). Still, none seemed as cool as this one did. I then researched online and saw people were paying $125+, depending on manufacturer, for sunrise clocks. Suddenly, I didn't feel so wasteful anymore (I was going to say, feel like an idiot anymore, but I didn't want to offend any sunrise clock purchasers; after all, you should get what you want). Of course, I hate light in the morning, so one of those just wouldn't do it for me.

Lastly, I found this review on youtube:

Review | Oregon Scientific Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser (you'll need to put this in the search area as Amazon doesn't like links)

At this point, I was hooked. I couldn't stop myself from clicking the purchase button, even if I wanted to. I wanted this little contraption and nothing but a sellout would prevent me from getting it (albeit a $99.99 price tag). I received it within two days of ordering it and like a little kid receiving a new package, was ever elated in opening it. Pulling it out, I thought, "Hey, this is pretty dang neat." No, I'm not really that dull, but this is after all an Amazon review, have to keep it clean, dontcha know. However, nor am I going to admit that I was jumping through my house holding an alarm clock while simultaneously swaying my arms back and forth in the air due to unbridled joy. Anyway, setting up was easy, I already had oil purchased previously that I could use, and voila... done. My new alarm with aroma therapy and light was ready to be used!

I cannot say that as of yet, that I regret this purchase in the least. To be honest, I really only got this alarm clock for its nature sound capabilities, which I read that Oregon Scientific has some of the best. I have chronic dry eye due to PRK surgery and often when ripping my eyes open in the morning in response to the out-of-nowhere loud buzzing alarm of my previous clock, I would tear my epithelium off and need to go to the doctors for a 3-day contact bandage. Fun fun. All the other extras, is just that, extras, but still perks in their own way. It is extremely soothing to listen to this before I go to sleep; it does help with that `wind down' phase. Also, I find that so far (granted it's only been 3 days) I do pleasantly lift my eyes open to the sound of music and birds chirping as opposed to the aforementioned ripping.

Minor drawbacks for me:

I am definitely a snooze hitter, not anymore though as this doesn't give you the option. I do find myself resetting it on the weekends though to get those 10-20-30-40-50 extra minutes that I truly want.

There are no buttons on this clock. Yes it looks clean, but as the youtube video shows, if you lose the remote, you are SOL (maybe OS will offer a replacement part for those of us that find ourselves losing... did I say losing?... I meant misplacing, things often). Because of this, I leave the remote out during the night when I'm sleeping next to the clock and promptly put it away when I wake up in the morning.

There are only 5 sounds. This isn't so much a drawback for me as I just really use it as an alarm, so 5 sounds versus only one annoying repetitive beep, is a step up for me. However, for those that want to listen to this on a constant basis, may become bored with it.

Don't use too much oil and then feel the need to smell the cool little waft of (what appears to be) smoke that comes from the top. I felt like I singed my nose hairs and my nostrils were on fire. They say use 1 2 drops. Yes, that is actually enough, no matter how much you feel it isn't, it is. Trust me.

Because I am so used to a buzz alarm, this one almost lures me back to sleep after it wakes me up. It's actually quite nice, minus the whole sleeping in part. My advice? Attempt to get up the first time. For the first two weeks, I am using a small backup alarm as a just in case, just until I get used to this one.

Other than that, it's new and fun. The light colors are pretty, the dim feature is decent (even though it's still too bright for me, refer previously to me hating light), I like the sounds and be honest; how many people can say that their alarm clock smells good? Plus, because of the lid, I don't tend to smell it while it just sits there and not in use. I'll be back in 3 weeks, then 3 months and lastly, for the 1 year updates. Just to let you know if it's still as good as I originally thought, if something broke, or if I go monster on it for whatever unforeseen circumstances. Hope this has helped!

P.S. I gave it a 4 rating because it is just an alarm clock, which in my opinion is still a high level review. I save the 5's for some kicka$$ items only.

I think the product itself is very nice for someone like me who enjoys the sensory experience of nature sounds and aromatherapy. The unit looks nice and the remote control is easy to work. I really enjoy the aromatherapy in particular. Based on the product alone I would have given it a higher review.

There are two things that really bug me.

First, as another reviewer mentioned there is a mechanical beep that sounds at the end of a session when you set it to sleep mode. This is so jarring and seems totally at odds with the purpose of the machine.

Second, I had trouble getting the alarm function to work I see that it can be an alarm, but I couldn't figure out how to work it the manual was no help. I called customer service and they were stumped. Said they would call me back and did not. Received an email in response to my inquiry that said that the product was to go to sleep to, not to be an alarm. Huh? It says it has an alarm function on its own website!

My mechanically-inclined spouse figured out the alarm and I'll be happy to provide instructions in case anyone struggles like I did.

I liked some things about it, but not enough to keep it. I bought this on a lightning deal for $60. It's definitely not worth more than that. Here is my take on this item:

Pros:

1. The diffuser worked really well as far as diffusing the essential oil scents. (However, it kept automatically shutting off. More on this in Cons.)

2. I liked the "idea" of the lights, sounds, and diffuser.

3. The unit was well-constructed. I was happy with the appearance of it.

Cons:

1. The instructions in the "manual" were hard to follow and gave limited information. Once I figured everything out, I was fine. But it took some time to figure out how to operate it. There should have been more information given especially on the diffuser. Big thumbs down for the manual.

2. The sounds were okay, but became annoying. They were very short sound clips that just repeated over and over. There could be a definite improvement with the sounds.

3. I hated that you could only control all functions with the remote.

4. There is no snooze option with the alarm. I need a snooze.

5. The beep was really annoying as others have stated in their reviews.

6. The lights didn't do anything for me. Yeah, it looked cool, but I didn't plan on sitting there staring at the unit to see lights change color. I expected more.

7. The diffuser kept automatically shutting off. I didn't have it on the timer and couldn't find anything in the "manual" to explain why this kept happening. I tried to call the company and was on hold for 30 minutes. It was around Christmas when I tried to call, but it was still frustrating. I hung up before anyone even answered due to the long hold time.

Overall, there are just too many functions wrapped up into one with this unit and none of them were perfected. I am going to look for two different units; a quality diffuser that is only a diffuser and then a quality alarm clock with nature sounds. I can do without the lights.

Honest reviews on Oregon Scientific WS903G Aroma Diffuser and Sound Therapy Clock

I fell in love with this clock, and we bought it almost two months ago, we use it every night for the aromatherapy and the cromotherapy, last night in the middle of the night I woke up and it had stopped working for no reason (as another user commented as well). I religiously followed the care instructions, and was careful not to leave the diffuser on too long. Now I am left (less than 47 days later) with an expensive broken alarm clock that I can either throw away or get only partial credit on. Seriously Amazon, for larger purchases (and given customer reviews) you really need to put a new policy in place regarding returns for this item, or set stricter guidelines for your dealings with the manufacturer. Very very displeased!

This item was good at first but I purchased it in May and here it is December and it just stopped working! I tried calling their customer support line but got busy signals the entire time. Its definitely not worth the money!

This filter is for an older unit and we were not sure based on the description if it was the "total" part for the price. Wrote to the seller through Amazon and they answered our question promptly that it was. Ordered and delivered within a few days and was exactly what we needed. Thank you for good service

I have gone through various Propylene Glycol pre-mixed solutions before for humidors and this is as good as any other. I use this both in my larger forced air humidifier and also in my second humidor with the oasis style one. No issues and for the price it is good. On a side note, the packaging with the smug cigar smoker on it is a good conversation piece too for friends.

This solution works as promised. Careful not to use too much or your humidity levels can jump to 80%. I have gone through two bottles and placing a reorder for more.

Bought it, Using it and absolutely no problems. Using bit in a high end gel cup that says it must only use its high end solution! Well let me tell you its the same ratio of mix and I am having 0 issues , its staying right at 70% what more could I ask fer? Just make sure you watch your humidor on long periods of rain and if it has a glass top and if you keep it somewhere it gets a lot of change in tempature.... enjoy !

I have kept my humidor between 60 and 70 degrees and this kept the humidity at 70%. After 2 months i noticed fuzz on my humidifier. Don't think this is truly anti fungal.
