pluses: no filters, very (extremely) quiet, easy to clean with shower hose/kitchen sink sprayer

minuses: no humidistat to control on/off

This is my fifth humidifier. Anything with a filter/wick is troublesome in maintainance and costly to replace. Bought the small one for bedroom, then bought medium one for living room. Bought one for nieces baby shower. Would not hesitate to continue buying if needed. One of the best appliances I ever bought.

These are very good for single rooms up to around 12x15 a larger unit is needed for larger rooms.

This unit will be empty in 3 days of only night use, so the water evaporation really works.

I have 2 of these, and am happy with them.

They wont warp or damage any surface or put out too much moisture, even if right next to a wall or object.

Having said that, i feel that most days my lps are still a bit dry and my nose/sinuses are still a bit dry but

nothing like being without a humidifier.

My sinuses ached and my nose was painfully dry, and everyone would cough at night when the heat kicked in.

It must be cleaned every other day if using this daily. I dont use the Venta additive i used that when i 1st tried the unit, and the water stank really bad. I only left it for 3 days, so i think that additive isnt a great idea.

A better idea may be using distilled water (apprx $1 per gallon)if you need to be as clean as possible or for medical reasons. This will reduce water residue/buildup/minerals in the tank.

So i would say even with additive, you need to change the water and clean the unit consistently you dont want to spread anything to anyone thru the evaporation. The water isnt really dirty from 2 days of sitting, its just that water sitting turns bad all by itself. I use a paper towl and vinegar on the tank, and the disk must be soaked and cleaned-its not easy cleaning the disk but maybe if the air is really dirty-once a month.

Overall if your air is real dirty or dusty you may notice a greenish greyish residue from the tank when you clean it. Use vinegar, dont use harsh cleaners-they leave residue and the plastic is porous-dont want to evaporate any cleaners into yur room...

The fan part of the unit can collect dust and really shows you what the air quality looks like but it all can be cleaned because the unit opens easily.

Be careful with the unit and disk! it has a long warantly but in general this tank and top are not tough! if you drop it it will crack or break easily. i dropped the disk when cleaning and the edge cracked off and 3 or 4 of the end of the disks cracked, but it still works fine.

Its great in a small enclosed space, i cant imagine how the larger unit would humidify a large room. The fans do evaporate a ton of water, its very quiet and the sound can almost become a soothing sleep noise, its not a sound like dripping water or anything like that...but in a large open space with more doors and air, ...seems like it may not work like you would think.

-since it will go anywhere its really good for floors, plants, furniture that needs moisture.

FYI if you have steaam radiators that give off a bit of steam when they are in use, this is a decent amount of humidity in every room of the house-dont change them due to noise or looks and baseboard heat is so very dry-we have baseboard heat and i hate it. think about humidity before changing your heating system-it makes a huge difference in your home leather, wood, and people need humidity, and young kids/babies too.

This machine does its job very well but it requires monthly maintenance. You will need to buy the bottle of Water Treatment every month.

Honest reviews on Venta Airwasher -White, 5014536

I thought this was what I was looking for. First, the unit was cracked as soon as I opened it from the box. The packaging was not damaged nor was the shipping box, I can only assume because it is so poorly constructed ( very thin plastic) that it broke in transit. I ordered three of these and every one was damaged. Amazon rules and got a refund no problem. I love the idea behind this unit but they are waaaaaaaay to small for any size room. I would order the largest one to see if it has the same crap construction and if it doesn't then write a review. There ya have it. Oh yes I must say again that Amazon rules.

The design is excellent: simple, robust, easy to clean. However, this smallest model was unable to raise the relative humidity (RH) of a 140 sq ft room with 8 ft ceilings above 30% or so (unhumidified RH was about 20%). I exchanged for the larger "24" model, which works well: RH reaching about 40%.

Review of Starting Small Novelty Hamper

This is adorable. Can hold about three loads of laundry. Quality appears fine by my eyes. Be CAREFUL when opening the package. I almost lost an eyeball!!

This hamper is definitely bigger than most baby hampers. It fits a lot of baby laundry. The top is completely open and the sides are made of mesh. I really liked this hamper, but unfortunately I had to throw it out because my dog could smell the dirty laundry through the mesh and tried to eat through the mesh every day. It is super cute and I would definitely recommend this hamper. Be careful when you first open it up out of the package, it opens up very fast! make sure you stand back.

Some of the hampers I looked at were actually rather small when you looked at the dimensions, but this is about the size of a standard pop-up hamper. It does have 4 plastic rods instead of being all wire (you'd have to take these out to fold it back up into that little circle) but since I have no intention of folding it up except for moving that's not an issue. I like that it's more of a rectangle shape and I can slide it sideways if I need it to take up a little less wall space.

Got this home and the hubby was putting in the support rods and the hamper ripped. The material does seem thin and cheap. I really loved the look and the size ( I was actually going to use it for storing diapers). I reluctantly returned it.

Best Graco Pack n Play Playard with Newborn Napper Elite Station - Vance Deals

I had specific needs to meet for this purchase. I needed 1. A changing table since space is limited in the baby's room. 2. Storage for the supplies since, you guessed it space is limited in the baby's room. 3. Wheels I am not that big and I did not want to lug around a heavy, awkward cube around my house like I did 12 years a go with a cheap play pen someone bought me when I had my first child in my 20's. 4. Bassinet Since space is limited and we did not want to put up the big crib yet, we are using this as the baby's bed for now till he gets a little bigger and we are forced to use the big crib. 5. Newborn Napper is just a bonus. I didnt plan on using this, but I do set the baby in it while Im in the room putting clothes away and folding diapers, which take a while to fold and I dont want to take the changing table off to get to the bassinet.

I reviewed over 100 play pens / pack n plays / what ever they call them these days. I chose this one because some of the others I checked out the people said the changing table was wobbly or it tilted down into the unit and they were dissatisfied with that. (Well, I guess I would be too) This one was stated as not doing this because it is located on the end and not the side of the unit and it has more stability. That is the number 1 selling point for me! It is nice and does not. The storage is nice, not what I was expecting. Its a soft sided storage and the "shelves" are not really deep, so stuff falls out and it kind of sags down. I am 100% happy with the assembly. My 6 year old and I put it together in about an hour. We stuck to the step by step instructions, since we used it as a learning tool and she read and decided what we to do next with the words and pictures. If I would have been without her, I would have had it together in maybe 20 min!

I am most dissatisfied with the colors. They are nice and not ugly, but by looking at the picture, it APPEARS black and white with a "snowflake" type design. I thought it would match some of the other items we had. I read the description and it said dark grey, cream and taupe. I was hoping it was close to the grey and white, but it was not. Its still a nice pattern and color, but not EXACTLY what I was looking for.

OVERALL Not big issues that would prevent me from buying it again if I had to. The price was higher than some others, Im not sure why? But to stick to the NEEDS I had to meet this was the type of cash I had to spend.

This is a great product for me as I'm wanting my baby as close to me as possible through the night, but I don't have a lot of room for changing. I needed a little "station" of baby stuff all in one place. Other parents might not need that, but it's ideal for me.

It's basically like every other pack and play Graco makes, except this one doesn't have a vomit-inducing print that the baby won't ever understand anyway. It's a simple print that's sand and stone colored. It's the same model as the BRU Elefante(sp?) P&P, but again, not as vomit-inducing.

The newborn napper is highly recommended because it puts the baby at somewhat of an incline which is good if baby has digestion problems. It also has a 15 lb limit weight capacity, as does the bassinet.

I got it right away, put it together myself in 40 minutes (38 weeks pregnant) and it's reasonably light and has wheels. What more could you want?

great combo of bassinet, crib, and changing table. This is a great solution for those living in small spaces.

love the newborn napper. Although it is impossible to assemble and remove. If you attach it once (with difficulty), and plan on using it for long term use as I did, you will only have to take it off one more time. Then this is great for you. If you plan on attaching and detaching the newborn napper multiple times, look at a different product.

Awesome changing table. I still use it for my eight month old.

love the design. It's gender neutral, and simple. Can use sheets and blankets to play up for baby girl or boy.

love that you can move it around on wheels.

the side compartment is USELESS. It is completely flimsy. Do not plan on storing anything in it, other than maybe a few diapers. I removed mine after the first couple days and have never reattached it.

Graco makes several other products that cost much less, but do not include the side compartment. I decided on this one because of the side compartment. Thus, if I could go back in time, I would buy a different, cheaper product, since the side compartment was completely useless.

Honest reviews on Graco Pack n Play Playard with Newborn Napper Elite Station - Vance

Our infant has LOVED the napper ever since we brought him home. It is very soft and sturdy and cradles him right in place for hours! The changing table is also sturdy and has a soft pad for the baby to lay on. The unit folds up nicely if needed but the napper and changing table do not fold out of the way of the play yard underneath, but it does create room for storage until you take them off. The storage this offers is worth the price alone!

I was so excited for this pack n play, but was soon disappointed. The other reviews made it seem like it was the perfect system. The pack n play itself is greatlight, has wheels, gender neutral colors, but everything else (the additions) had issues. The music-mp3 player sucked. It didn't have a volume control and it played so softly that I couldn't even hear it. I just removed it. The vibration piece ran out of battery quickly and had to be replace too often. The napper is nice and soft, super comfy for the baby, but it is extremely hard to remove and replace. I was hoping for a napper like their other products where you can remove, or even better can stand alone. My baby had reflux, so once it got dirty, hard to get out and clean. The changing table was slanted, and when the baby was a newborn, he kept sliding down to the side. It didn't seem like the fabric was completely made properly to fit the changing table too, as the corners kept on being exposed. The storagesuper super flimsy. It only held it's shape if full with stuff, but if you used anything from its shelves, the items would fall out and shelves would sag. Very useless storage! For nearly $200, this was definitely one big disappointment. I would have thought the whole system be better quality, the additions would actually be more well thought out and useful. I could have purchased a way cheaper pack n play that would have been comparable with what actually was functional with this one.

A little taller than the original Kaz filter, but it can be cut to fit. I have yet to find a company that can ship this 1-2 oz item for less than $5.

The filters were just a little different than what I had been previously been able to buy from the store. This filter is no longer available retail in my area. The filter is all in one piece and fits pefectly and funcions perfectly. I can continue to use my QUIET Kaz Humidifier rather than replace it with a costlier, noisier model with costlier filters.WF1 Kaz Humidifier Replacement Filter

Best Deals for WF1 Kaz Humidifier Wick Filter

The filters I received are certainly not up to the Kaz quality I am used to. These are generic replacement filters (somewhat similar to the Kaz brand) but not as dense. Of course the advertisment did not say they were generic! It says,"WF1 Kaz Replacement Filter" which is what I am used to buying except those were made by Kaz. So,of course I didn't get what I thought I was going to get. Honesty in advertising is a lost art! I'm tired of being a patsy for e-sales gimicks!

Honest reviews on WF1 Kaz Humidifier Wick Filter

I was surprised to find that this not a genuine Kaz wick, though it is listed as aftermarket in the product description. The actual manufacturer is BestAir, and the box indicates it fits KAZ models 3000, 3300 and 3400 but not the EV710 that I have. The quality seems satisfactory it is steel-reinforced which I don't remember the original being.

It may not need to be cut down to size as mentioned in at least one other review.

I read another review before purchasing this item and agree. With it being advertised as WF1 Kaz Humidifier Filter, one would expect the original design which it isn't. However, it does function just as well and the price is much less that the name brand. The shipping speed was qucik. I will purchase this item again and recommend it to others.

This unit has kept me very warm this winter. The single unit warms my top floor easily if I keep it running at a medium/low setting. The water is to keep the air feeling warm so you don't need as much heat. Couldn't have survived my winter without it! Good customer service as I got a manual that was older than the actual model of my unit.

I had a smaller version and really liked it. I purchased this one as a gift and the family loves it! They have an old house and their large living room is always cold in the winter. We've had a few very cold days already and they tried it out. They said they were warm and cozy and just loved it. It's also pretty quiet.
