Review of American Wick AW4E Replacement Kerosene Wick

Customer Ratings:

This wick is a perfect fit for the 10KBTU radiant heaters made by Sengoku under model numbers CTN-110 and HM-110 etc.. They are a higher quality wick than the one that comes with the heaters, and I recommend that it be installed before suffering with the factory wick. These are also the same wicks sold by the famous kerosene wick expert Miles. A good buy!

Update: 3/6/2013 This wick does not have the line at the same place as the factory wick, it is higher. I thought this was a mistake, but I believe it is because this wick brings up more kerosene than the factory wick so it has to be set what seems to be 1/4" lower. I placed this wick at the same height as the factory wick, and there was no way to adjust the heat properly. Next time, I will trust the line on the product.

I bought these for the replacement on my CTN-110 heater and they work perfect. I must say that this is a perfect little heater for a small house too, sometimes we run this as our only heat source and it keeps our house at 71. So, if you have or want a heater like that....these are a perfect fit.

This wick is too small to fit the Mega-110 that I bought it for. Even the packaging said it was the correct fit. No the wick was way too small.

Buy Hunter 31960 Demineralization Tablet for 31004 Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

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.

WHEN it works it is OK. It has all of the defects described by the other reviewers. But they make up for the defects with rotten customer service. I bought this unit on January 31 07. Used it until the end of March, at which time I cleaned it and replaced all of the consumables per the instructions. I put it back in service two weeks ago. Six days ago it stopped working. I called their customer service. They use an out-sourced customer service group that will NOT talk to you, but rather, insists on taking your number and calling you back in the evening. Of course, they called back when I was out and left a message that they would call the following evening. They did not. I called back the next day and went through the same thing. That evening, since thay had not called by 8:30, I called them. This time, they insisted that I go through some trouble-shooting (all of which I had done previously). They then told me to leave it unplugged for a 1/2 hour (by which time they would be gone) and then "reset" the unit by pressing a button combination. I did this. The next day I called them again and got the same "wait until tonight" pitch. I insisted on an RMA number, which I received. HOWEVER, before they will tell you where to ship the unit, you need to FAX them a proof-of-purchase (their email address bounces back). The you have to wait for them to call. It is now 6:30PM on a Friday night and no call. So I called them and got their voice mail, where I was instructed to leave a message. So It will not get shipped to them this week. Next week I am traveling, so it won't get shipped until the following week, which means that they will not get it until after Christmas, which means it will be mid-January before I get a repaired unit. These people are total idiots. For a $200 humidifier, I would expect some sort of real customer assistance. Be warned before you buy.

UPDATE: Well, a month after I sent the defective unit in, I received a TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND MUCH CHEAPER UNIT in return. I am now on my THIRD phone call with these idiots and have yet to talk to someone who can resolve this problem. The right person is "not in the office" and will "call me back." HAH!! They NEVER call back. I wish I had never heard of these people.

I've owned this humidifier for a couple of months now. The features that I like best about it are: it regulates the ambient humidity (i.e. the unit has a humidity sensor for the room) when it reaches the desired level it automatically stops the mist; also it gives you an indication when the unit needs to be cleaned (pretty simple process); and most important the unit stops when there's not enough water (again a little indicator flashes for your attention) furthermore, the unit is very well designed and has a very contemporary look highly recommended!

I have been using wick-based humidifiers for the past few years in the bedroom. Last year I noticed every morning when I woke and I used the humidifier, I was constantly congested. I stopped using it and looked for another type, leery of vaporizer types because of past experience with white dust.

I found this AOS 7142....pricey, and I was worried about white dust...but I liked the concept of the silver bar to inhibit bacteria growth and the demineralization cartridge to minimize dust.

I have been very impressed so far. No lung congestion. No white dust....I live in the Dallas area.

Pros: effective, silent, maintained 600 ft bedroom at 50%; choice of warm mist (I think this setting works better, but more $$ to operate) or cold mist, styling, controls, full tank at full blast lasted about 14 hours.

Cons: filling water tank; it has a handle to carry water container back to unit, but none on the other side to hold the container when filling it....and it gets heavy. Plus the container cannot stand by itself upside down and tips over.

If it wasn't for this latter design flaw, I would give it 5 stars, but good enough to make me buy another one for my home office.

Honest reviews on Air-O-Swiss 32838 Ultrasonic Humidifier

A very good humidifier, but with a couple of flaws. Very quiet, pumps out lots of warm mist at close to the 3.5 gal/day quoted rate. As such, the tank needs to be filled 2x daily if used full bore in a larger room. As with any ultrasonic humidifier that I've used, filling the tank can be cumbersome and, as some have pointed out, this tank has no flat surface to rest it on, making it unstable. But ignore comments about leaking, placement, etc. because they have NOTHING to do with the model, but more the style of humidifier (ultrasonic). Flaws: more white dust than usual with hard water because the filter has a design flaw. The washer seal on the tank plunger is supposed to double as a filter "anti-bypass" seal, but allows water to bypass the filter (it's undersized). Also, the humidity controller "hunts" on and off when the setpoint is reached, rapidly turning the mist on and off very annoying in the middle of the night. (For you engineers, there is no "hysteresis" in the control loop.) To avoid this, you need to raise the humidity setpoint higher than desired and lower the fan speed to keep the room level fairly constant, essentially turning the humidifier into a manual control model. (So why spend $200 for the fancy controls?) All in all, it pumps out humidity, it's easy to clean, it's very quiet, it's relatively easy to fill, the humidity is nice and warm (and doesn't freeze out the room), my throat no longer croaks in the morning, and my eyes aren't fused shut. BTW, we live in bone dry Colorado with forced hot air, and the unit is in a ~600 sq. ft BR with a 15' ceiling and adjoining master bath. It does the job nicely if run constantly. I would imagine that the reports about hard water being a big problem are right on. Still, for us: 4 stars.

This humidifier is great for programing humidity, fan speed, sleep mode, etc.

BUT IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER DO NOT BUY IT. It puts out white dust that will go all over your house. I have three Sharper Image Ionic breezes, on two floors of my house. I had to clean them every day and they were covered with white dust. Besides that; my furnature , TV screen, etc.were covered with white dust within two days. I buought a Honeywell with a exchangable filter that uses vapor rather than mist to humidify the air. This works great. Very little white dust. Half the cost.

Buy Cigar Mechanic Humidification Bag

These little beads are awesome. I replaced the gel crystals in 4 jars with 2 bags and they work great. tried refilling the brick style humidifying agent with the beads but they're to small and fall through the slots. The jars are holding my humidors at a perfect 70% humidity, and only need distilled water every 60 days or so. Great product and fast shipping.

Suffice to say up until the past week over here on the eastern seaboard, it's been extremely humid and extremely dry outside, and since I'd been out of town the week prior I had one of thirteen humidors that needed a decent boost in humidification while I was away. So I placed the order via Neptune through Amazon the Saturday before the 30th of June, it arrived a few days later, well within sufficient time before I headed north. A little background on said humidor, it's a large glass-top rosewood Savoy that has never kept a decent humidity level even with a large Diamond Crown humidifier which was empty every other week for seven+ years, and I'd seasoned it well over a dozen times; approximately a year and a half ago I had pulled the DC from the humidor and plied it with crystal jars and humisticks. They've been fluctuating the humidity between 63-78%... Not ideal at all; however after the short prep time of thirty seconds with the "nano-pearls" that are in all the Cigar Mechanic systems, that one pouch inside of a 100-150ct humidor even with the all those crystal systems has systematically isolated and regulated the humidity at a steady 72%. I think I'll be snagging at least two-dozen or so more of these bags for the rest of my humidors.

One fact not generally known is that the beads start to absorb when humidity gets above 70%. The gel only gives off humidity constantly while the beads give off humidity and when needed absorbs it back. That's it....BEADS HANDS DOWN!

Skuttle SKO-0055-001 Humidistat Assembly, Manual Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Works great. When I had my central air/heat installed, they initially installed an "intelligent" humidistat. It was supposed to learn things. Mine was retarded. I had this manual unit installed and it worked great. I like being able to hear the click of the switch when I adjust it. And if the windows start to sweat, I can turn it down for immediate results.

WARNING: If you install an ultraviolet sanitizing light in the same duct (nearby), it destroys the membrane in this unit. Trust me. I didn't buy this replacement for no reason.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $9.99

Today's Bonus: 15% Off

I purchased this as a simpler alternative to the traditional Vicks and other brands of Vaporizers.

Pro's:

1) Easy to plug in

2) No filling up a large vaporizer with water constantly

3) No measuring medicine into the vaporizer machine

4) No need for an outlet

5) No constant need to maintain a level of medication and no guessing at home much to put in the water

6) No concerns of building up mold in the vaporizer, eliminating constantly needing to clean the unit

Con's:

1) The instructions specifically state "CAUTION: Do not touch exposed pad with skin. In case of contact with skin, wash area immediately with plenty of water.

2) It leaks!

3) *A PRETTY BIG RED FLAG*

It's a bit of a challenge to open the package just right and place the pad into the unit without touching it. I have touched it, and it caused a numbing tingling sensation. I immediately washed my hands and went away. The soothing ingredients of Eucalyptis Oil, Cedarleaf Oil (Mineral Oil), Nutmeg Oil, and Thymol don't last all night as advertised, and I found that the unit leaked. Not only that, but the night light also went out. I assume the leaking oil caused the night light to burn out. If this is true, isn't this a fire hazard if the oil leaked enough to cause the night light to go out? That doesn't bring me any comfort.

This is a little heart shaped diffuser as shown. There is no on/off swtch. You just plug it in. It works like one of those Glade plug-ins, only using essential oil instead of a little chemical packet. Although they sell these pre-scented pads to go with it, I bought some blank pads, with nothing on them, and cut one down to fit. You can add any essential oil you want to them and you can re-oil the same pad again and again.

Essential oils are sold as single oils or as blends. Buying the oil is a lot cheaper than buying refill pads that are pre-scented, especially since the oil on a pad dissipates overnight. And for those who are worried about using essential oil, they come in dropper bottles so you never touch the oil, you just dab it on the pad using the dropper bottle and pop the pad into the diffuser/waterless vaporizer.

I rarely write reviews, but since this item didn't have any and we bought it recently as a new-baby humidifier, I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this one. We will use our humidifiers strictly for the baby, and although we've only been using this one for a week, I may update this review for a final verdict. After reading numerous other reviews (I'm aiming to pick up another one soon), I feel slightly more educated about the features that consumers might find more desirable in a humidifier.

What I like:

* It works. I wouldn't normally add this seemingly obvious comment as a plus, but after reading other reviews, it seemed worth mentioning. If it fails in the near future, I will update this comment.

* No filters or wicks necessary. I find this feature highly desirable no added costs.

* Ultrasonic technology makes this unit run silently. And I mean silently! It makes no significant noise. Perhaps with other technologies, the mist volume could be heavier and thus noisier, but the quiet nature of this unit is pleasant. Also, thanks to the ultrasonic tech, the vapor stream is virtually instantaneous when switched on, both on warm or cold. Granted, a minor point, but nice. Which brings me to another pleasant feature....

* Emits both warm or cold mist. And does so effortlessly. One of its 4 face buttons allows a quick and easy switch from warm to cold and back, and as mentioned above, the change is immediate.

* The H4600 has 3 variable spray options. Low spray is perhaps too low, but the option is there if you want it to run all day and night. There is also a dual headed mist nozzle which allows greater choice at aiming the mist, but I don't find this feature particularly useful since the mist spray isn't all that strong to begin with, but it's a nice addition, nonetheless.

* Silver Clean technology claims to fight mold and mildew in the water tank, allowing for healthier vapors and less cleaning. Too soon to judge this feature, but even if it works a little, it'll be helpful and it's better than not having it.

* Easy interface. The front panel has a simple 4 button operation with a lit display. I found this to be a welcome feature. One button is simply On or Off. Another is variable spray volume (low, medium, high) kind of like a fan speed. The third is to switch from cold mist or warm mist. And the last button is for the night light. That blue circle on the face of the unit is the night light. It's fairly bright, but blue, so it's not as bright as it might be otherwise. Since we use this for the baby's room, we like this feature. The lit display shows the volume of spray (in a too elaborate display of LEDs), the chosen hot or cold mist option, and an indicator for low water in the tank. (The humidifier turns off when tank is too empty)

What I don't like:

* It's a bottom filled tank, meaning you need to lift out the tank, unscrew the underside cap to fill it with water. Thankfully, there are little handles on both the top and underside of the tank, but I don't understand why humidifiers don't regularly feature a top filling portal. It would be nice to be able to add water with a pitcher poured in the top rather than removing the entire tank, filling it and replacing it. The tank is fairly generous at 2.4 gallons, but that makes the full tank over 16 lbs. when full. Okay for me, but not the wife. Also, and perhaps more egregious is that the output nozzles on top (where the mist comes out) are rounded and interfere with the tank laying flat on its back when being filled. You cannot lay this tank flat on its back to fill it so it must be held, or at least braced (unless I didn't realize that the output nozzles can be removed?)

* Cost. This is one of the most expensive room humidifiers I've seen. It does have a nice feature set, and so far, operates as advertised, so I think it's worth it, but the price may discourage potential buyers. My wife bought this one because it was expensive. She figured it HAD to be the best one. I'm not sure she was wrong about that.

NOTE: For some reason, the amazon page that displays this item lists the following as one of its features, "Digital display and clock with programmable run features". I believe this was a mistake taken from some other model that isn't being shown, although I've yet to see a humidifier with a digital clock on it. The picture amazon shows is the one we have. Well, I saw no such display or feature. There is no clock or digital display here, let alone programmable features. None that I saw, and I went through the manual. Perhaps this amazon model is one notch higher in this series of humidifiers and explains why it costs $20+ more than ours.

Conclusion: At first, I was disappointed with the design of the bottom-fill tank, and the poor placement of the output mist nozzles that I thought this was a deal breaker and planned on returning it. But then I came onto to Amazon to research and buy another model, and after rooting around the reviews, I realize that this model is actually pretty good. I don't think the tank lasts 120 hours (5 days!), but it lasts fairly long. So, aside from the tank filling procedure, everything else about this humidifier is quite nice. Recommended.

** UPDATE **

The rounded silver-colored output nozzle on the top of the unit can, indeed, be removed while refilling with water. That's helpful. It's still not perfect, as the tank doesn't lay flat on its back for refilling, but it helps. Also, the price of this unit has since gone up from when I wrote my review. We paid somewhere between $160-$180. Unfortunately, I don't recall for certain, but if you're thinking of buying this item, make sure you get the model with "Digital display and clock with programmable run features" as it states in the description. Ours didn't come with that feature, and it's the only thing that explains the price difference from what we paid. I can't say if the extra cost is worth it, but I hope that helps.

** Update II **

It's now January 2013 around 2+ years after purchase. The H4600 Ultrasonic Humidifier is still kicking, rather nicely, thank you. We use it primarily for the winter months. The internal basin of the base needs an occasional cleaning, but otherwise, all is well!

I have an electric PTAC heater/AC unit. It provides amazing heat in the winter and dries the room out like you wouldn't believe making it so I have to wake up in the middle of the night to turn the heater off, or open a window to get moisture in the room. My last humidifier was OK, but it just didn't do enough to combat the heater. I put this on last night for the first time (and last night was snowing weather). The setting was on low, warm mist. Wow I slept so well. I didn't wake up to turn the heater off, I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to drink from my bottle of water (I go through 16-24 ounces a night). I HIGHLY recommend this product for people with dry rooms. The fact that it has a 120 hour refill cycle is awesome! It's also quiet!

Obviously since it's new I can't comment on cleaning procedures

My only negative feedback is the lights on this thing cannot be turned off. It's in my bedroom and I have the LED lights hitting my wall. Considering they have a night-light button that turns some extra lights on they could have just made that button turn all the lights OFF. I will end up taping a piece of cloth to the front to block the light.

Minimal upkeep, as promised, but if you don't buy the additional demineralization cartridge, you may see some white dust on the machine and nearby furniture. Not as totally silent as I'd hoped... The 'glug-glug' sound is fairly intrusive in a quiet room (like a baby nursery). But overall, it's a good product. Only drawback for me is the lack of a hydrostat, so you can't set an maintain a desired humidity level.
