Discount Burl Wood Humidor 6 Piece Cigar Gift Set with Ashtray and Cutter

Customer Ratings:

I got my fiance a cigar of the month club membership for a Xmas gift. I thought it might be something relaxing for him. But he didn't have anything to keep the cigars in so I bought this too. He loooves it. I also bought a digital hygrometer. The analog one that comes with this one may be good but I thought digital may be more accurate. Also got him a leather 2 finger case and a triple flame lighter. Bought humidifier liquid and zippo fluid too. He's new to this so I had to be as inclusive as I could. This little set is great, just isn't all inclusive in itself.

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Hollywood CA. I have an in wall ac unit like most people do out here and no A/C in my bedroom. So I decided to try this out.... Well I couldn't be happier. Even with my window closed this fan is strong enough to keep me cool. I usually don't even put water in it but if you want it to be cold get 2 gallons of water put them in the fridge for a day then throw them in this thing. Will make it even colder. I get very hot very very easily and still have no problem with it. Love it!

I live in a studio apartment where a 10,000-BTU a/c handles most of the cooling.

Unfortunately, the cold air doesn't quite reach the bathroom, around a corner through an alcove.

So for many years I have had a Slant/Fin Personal Zone Air Cooler perched on the window sill in there (it's a pre-war building with windows in the bathrooms), pointed down at me when I'm, uh, reading...

The S/F finally conked -the motor gave out, and water leaked through the water level indicator window -so I was looking for a compact air cooler to fit in the bathroom. S/F no longer makes air coolers, apparently.

Enter this unusual tower, which looks rather like one might expect Dr. Who's nemesis, a Dalek, to look like if the cyborg slimmed down and became a fashion model... Like a Dalek, this tower rolls around on casters, but it lacks a plunger or exterminator ray!

Goodness, but this Dalek blows a gust of cool air! If you used this just as a tower fan, it seems to blow more air at the highest of three fan speed settings than any tower fan I've ever encountered -strong enough to make a plastic bottle of dental solution wobble on the bathtub rim three or four feet away!

But things get even cooler when you push the Cool button, activating a water pump that moistens a sponge-like wick through which air blows inside the tower. You add water to the reservoir that slides back from the base of the tower; the tower also comes with two ice packs you can chill in your freezer and slide into compartments in the water reservoir, yielding extra cool air for up to four hours, according to the instructions.

Other functions include a timer for automatic shut-off, side-to-side oscillation, a sleep mode that throttles down as the night air cools off while you sleep, and a "natural" mode, which randomly changes fan speed to simulate real breezes.

I am impressed by the manufacturer's attention to detail here. When you push a button, for example, the control lights get brighter, then dim after a few minutes. The tower also comes with a handy remote, duplicating all functions on the top switch panel. And the tower includes a washable air filter to keep the wick from getting gunked up by dust in the air.

One thing I'm not sure about is whether I will need to add some bleach to the water to prevent the fetid smells most coolers and humidifiers give off over time. The instructions don't address this issue. I can't imagine that the wick is treated with a germ-retardant that will continue to work after weeks and months.

In the meantime, however, this tower of power is sure keeping my bathroom cool and comfortable! The tower would probably work in any setting where you are within a fiveor six-foot radius. I should mention as well that the fan is quiet, even at the highest setting.

I will report back if I encounter any problems. Until then, I am impressed by the amount of cooling this tower provides, running on less energy than an incandescent light bulb consumes...

PROS:

* Tower form uses minimal floor space.

* Quiet in operation.

* Powerful fan.

* Swing mode disperses cool air.

* Several operating modes.

* Easy to maintain.

* Freezer packs for extra cooling.

* Remote control duplicates all functions.

* Minimum energy consumption.

* Casters enable easy re-positioning.

CONS:

* So far, haven't found any.

Honest reviews on Luma Comfort EC45S Tower Evaporative Cooler with 125 Square Foot

The huge tree that used to shade my house was taken down this Spring. I bought this evaporative cooler to help with the increased heat. Last week we had 3 days of 100 degrees in a row. At 4pm on the third day the house was 76 degrees, which I think is success. The water holding tank is a little difficult to pull out to fill, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Warning though, only good in low humidity climates. I could feel a rise is humidity in the room, which in Colorado is almost welcomed. This unit is good for small areas. I like the sleek non-bulky look. It is quiet enough.

I purchased one of these humidifiers last winter. At first, I loved it so much I ordered 2 more for my kids. We used them for 3 months and then put them away when we shut down the heater for the season. This winter, however, we've had nothing but problems. The first one started leaking water . (I suggest putting the unit in a shallow container if you have nice furniture, as this happens quite often.) The units were still under warranty so I contacted the company. They tried everything possible to persuade me from returning it. Their solutions to fix the unit were as follows: Clean the unit with lemon juice, only use distilled water, and empty the unit when not in use. I already do all of these things, but I have no idea how that will "repair" a leak. The unit leak so much that it stopped working. I spend $10 to return the unit. A week later someone from the company called to say there was nothing wrong with it so they were sending it back without doing any repairs. Needless to say, since they didn't bother fixing or replacing it, the unit still leaks water and doesn't produce mist.

When the first one broke, I started using one of the others I had. But after just one month of use, that one no longer produces mist. And now the third unit just started leaking water. I'm really screwed now because at this point all 3 units are out of warranty.

Initially, I spent over $150 on the three units I bought. I can't believe Sunpentown refused to do anything about the defective one I sent back. You think they would've replaced it just to keep a good customer. Take my advice: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! THIS UNIT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY...AND SUNPENTOWN DOES NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY!!!

I travel frequently and, while working on a job, my old travel humidifier kicked the bucket. After much internet searching, I found this nifty little device. First off, it's MUCH smaller than you think-slightly larger than a large box of 250-ct matches. Insert a water bottle, plug it in & you're set. Easy to clean & carry with you, the thing I love most about it is that if it runs out of water, it stops on it's own. It puts out a large amount of cold humid air for it's stature, but unfortunately it struggled against the incredibly dry air in the Minneapolis hotel room where I was staying. My recommendation would be to run the humidifier all day while you're gone with the door closed to your room and see if that humidifies the space more effectively.

I initially purchased this portable humidifier to use at the office. It is extremely dry, and I had been getting dried up bloody noses from the dry heat. I was searching for a filterless humidifier, because I did not want to worry about filters get mildewy and gross, especially from not using it over the weekends and holidays. I also wanted something that would be easy to put away in a cupboard when I left work. I came across this Suppentown portable humidifier and thought it sounded perfect.

It has worked incredibly well so far. As an added bonus, I was easily able to wipe it out, put it in my bag, and take it with me to visit out of town family for the Christmas holidays. They have electric baseboard heating, which is extremely drying. I used to keep a regular humidifier there, but I was the only one who used it, so it needed a new filter every time I used it. This portable one worked perfectly!! A few family members were very interested in it, and my mom is even going to order one after seeing how great it worked.

The only thing I can think of that would make it better is if you could use a larger bottle. 16.9 ounces doesn't last very long if you have it on high (does not last through the night). I am curious to try a 20 oz or 24 oz bottle possibly one day. I have had issues with a couple bottles used so far. I think it is because of the cheap, flimsy plastic used. I have tried an Aquafina bottle and a store brand water bottle. Both could be a little difficult getting the adapter on properly. I did find a bottle that works perfectly and seems to be much sturdier (it is 17 oz., so close enough to the 16.9 limit). It is Talking Rain Sparkling Ice flavored water. I will keep a couple of those on hand at the office, home, and my parents' house.

I highly recommend this humidifier for office use, traveling, or small rooms. I'm not sure it would be the right thing for constant use at a house because of the water limitation. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Honest reviews on Sunpentown SU - 1051 Mini - Humidifier

PROS:

~ Quality manufactured (in China)

~ Variable vapor output

~ Automatically shuts off when out of water

~ Compact bedside table size

~ International voltage ready

~ Includes two bottle adapters

CONS:

~ Has a bright blue light that *could* be too bright for some users

~ Noise level is low but *could* be too noisy for some users

I'm hypercritical about manufactured products but this was quite a surprise. I did not give it 5 stars because there is no way to turn off the bright blue light that shines through the vapor nozzle. If you can live with that you won't be disappointed.

I've always used humidifiers in the winter season. The huge, heavy tank, the cleaning, ugh! Recently, I developed dry eye and was told by my doctor to use a humidifier to help with the nighttime dryness. After searching Amazon and using the very helpful reviews, I ordered this little dynamo.

You don't need a lot of water. You don't need to humidify the whole room...just the area near your head. This unit is almost amazingly SMALL. Quiet. Convenient. I bought distilled water from the supermarket, store it in the bathroom and fill a 16 oz water bottle every other day. It was never practical to use distilled water before, in the usual gallon humidifier tank, even though it is recommended. Who wants to buy/cart that much water?

This little beauty does the job. Lots of cool mist. In fact, on the high setting, it can soak the pillow case, so I keep it at about 1/2 setting. Every morning I take off the nozzle and top, pour out the remaining water and let everything air dry during the day. The bright light in the well was a problem, but I took a suggestion from this site and put a small piece of black electrician's tape over it. This doesn't seem to effect it's function at all, but I do wish the manufacturer would address this issue, as it is the main complaint.

I recently traveled with it, and it was great. Of course, it has helped through the winter cold season and the spring sinus season. Highly recommend it. Great product.

I've owned this humidifier for over a year now and I am in the process of looking for it on sale to replace all my other ones in the home. It's filterless so I haven't had to worry about moldy smells or finding a filter in the middle of winter at ridiculous prices. Anywho, this one is in my kids' room and I keep it at a low setting and it gives off this soft hum that actually drowns out other home noises. I fill it up every third day and I haven't had problems with water spilling or any other malfunction (like I've read in other reviews). Once a month I clean the base with a clorox wipe and I'm set. I also add an anti microbial solution (from Kaz)every time I refill it and it helps keep it clean and odorless.

I bought this unit for use last winter. It performed well for the season, but the o-ring degraded over time. I also noticed the plastic near the spout was also beginning to break down and the two sections making up that area were starting to pull apart. I contacted Holmes to get a new o-ring. They told me 1) they were on backorder, 2) they had LOTS of orders for these, 3) I could not buy just the o-ring, would have to buy the "cap assembly" (mind you, the o-ring fits in to the tank, NOT the cap) and 4) they would put my name on a list to be notified when the parts were available. So, now winter is approaching and I call again and am informed that they are no longer making this o-ring (also, keep in mind this is a unique o-ring...nothing you could buy in catalogs or HI stores). I will not buy another Holmes product if I can help it. I am shocked to see they are still selling it despite not having parts for customers who will eventually need them.

I already have a Vornado humidifier, but bought this one because I was tired of buying and storing replacement filters. This humidifier is extremely quiet. If you listen carefully, you may hear a slight trickle as the tank drains, but the blower is inaudible. The tank is very capacious. I run it on high all day and night and only refill it twice a day. I've been very happy. It only gets four stars, though, because it's a bit underpowered. The vaporizer is capable of producing a lot of steam, but the blower can't push it far enough into the air. If you run the unit on the highest setting, you must place it on a raised, waterproof platform so that the water doesn't settle to the ground. If Holmes had included a more powerful fan, it wouldn't be a problem. For now, I have a fan pointed at it to mix the steam with the air.

Honest reviews on Holmes HM495-UC Ultrasonic Comfort Select Humidifier

I live in a very small town. We have one variety store from which to buy things like this, and the only humidifiers they carry are Holmes. Over the past couple of years, I've bought several of these--not because I have a lot of rooms to humidify but because their products are so disposable. Either the motors go out or the 0-rings break or they spring leaks in the base. When I have had occasion to contact customer support to try to obtain a new o-ring or lid, I've been told twice that this model has been discontinued (when in fact, year after year, this piece of junk continues to appear on shelves and websites).

No more Holmes products for me and I'd recommend that you steer clear as well. This is a lousy product from an apathetic company.

I bought a Holmes HM 495 humidifier on Dec 8, 2007. In Jan, 2010 I decided to begin using it for the dry winter season. The rubber gasket that that prevents water from flowing from the tank above into the reservoir below had dried up and crumbled away. I e-mailed Holmes Service twice describing the issue, but never received a reply. I finally called the Service department to learn that they no longer make this rubber gasket. Thus the humidifier is useless, and must be disposed of.

Because the humidifier is 2 years and 1 month old, Holmes would not stand by their 2 year warranty. There was no attempt on their part to recognize that the unit had only been used for 2 seasons.

I recommend that readers never buy a Holmes.

Stylish Burl Vented Cigar Humidifier Review

Customer Ratings:

We're using this humidifier in our guitar cabinet rather than for cigars. The space is tight and being able to mount it on the side out of the way is what drew me to this particular model. It can't handle the 10 CF volume by itself so we added a small Cigar Oasis unit with a fan and I've ordered a couple more of these, which I think will get us where we need to be.

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.

Remind me not to buy something that I can't easily return online. This humidifier really didn't work for me. Didn't feel a noticeable difference in the humidity level of the room. The opening to put the water in is difficult to unscrew, to refill it you have to pull the water holder off the unit, so water gets everywhere... The unit also doesn't dry naturally in other words even if the water level runs out it still stays web inside the unit. An opening at the top of the unit would be better design and made it easier to let dry out if not in use. Had to travel for work and now realize I'm 5 days past return date. And to return I'd have to print out labels why can't I just fill out the request online and ship it back? Just kinda bummed about the whole situation.

Review of Essick Air ED11 600 Variable-Speed Evaporative Euro-Style Console

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $169.99
Sale Price: $110.19
Today's Bonus: 35% Off

I have owned an Essick Air unit for several years. It has outlasted all "Sears" brands and models. It is still going strong every heating/dry season.

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

Yes the so-called digital "humidistat" doesn't seem to work. Simple solution, I just set the unit to a higher humidity than what is displayed. When I want to run the unit, I turn it on. When I want it off, I turn it off. It's just that simple. I do not run it 24x7, I run it when needed, like overnight when the heat comes on.

And I use a separate humidity gauge. This one works wonderfully:

Taylor 1523 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer

As for noise, I only run it on the 2, 3 or 4 level. Yes, you can crank it up highter, but just like any fan, the higher you set 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 to remove water canisters and drag them out and go fill elsewhere. I'm sure you know the type I mean. Sometimes I just use a rinsed out 1-gallon water bottle just to fill it with, just open the hinged panel and pour the water in.

Here's another hint. Don't mount it on the wheels that come with. Put the entire unit on a towel or carpeting scrap. This will also helps if you accidentally spill a bit of water when filling. That also helps keep it quieter and lessen the vibration.

Do not forget the bacteriastat either, but be careful when using this additive, as always.

It is normal for the wick 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...

At the end of the season, rinse it out, maybe using a vinegar solution if there is any scale and then disinfect with a mild bleach solution and it's ready to be stored away, waiting for next year.

This is a GREAT humidifier and I've owned one for several years and if I need another one, I'll get another one of these. In the meantime, the one I own is still going strong.
