It states its a travel humidor, however, it isnt. If youre looking for a travel humidor, do not get this one, it has no way of securing to stay shut, does make a nice desk top one though.

Ok, I have owned this little guy for a little over a week now and cant comment on its longevity, but... it certainly seems to work well. I am a pack a day smoker and like clockwork I catch any cold my significant other gets within a day or two. She came down with something last week when I bought this plug in unit and she is now finally starting to get over her cold or whatever. I have yet to get sick! I am sure there could be other reasons for this but let me assure you that a robust immune system is not one of them! :)

Some people complain about these units.. saying there is low airflow through them. I'll let you in on a little secret.. it takes some time in contact with light to kill germs in the air. If the air moved too fast the germs would not have enough contact time with the light to die. Put the unit in an area where the air moves around it. Perhaps near a door or in a room with a ceiling fan that normally runs. If you put it in the corner of a room with dead air.. its going to purify the heck out of that corner.. :)

I placed the unit on a kill-a-watt meter tonight and it registered a constant draw of 9 watts. Thats pretty great as far as air purifiers are concerned. I have electronics that draw more than that when they are off. Costco has them 2 for $67 and Lowes has them for $39 ea (then you find one of the MANY coupons for Lowes like $10 off a $25 purchase.. exc).

The technology behind the units is a little questionable and I was not able to find links to the documented evidence of their effectiveness. They claim Harvard did test this product.. hope thats true but I would like to see the source of that claim posted somewhere. UV-C bulbs have been around for a long time, but for some reason they are just now showing up in this kind of a product with no real description as to why that is.

The bulbs only last one year and I cant find replacements locally (yet) so minus one star for that.. otherwise.. good job. Hope its for real. I went back to Lowes today to get another one and they were sold out.

UPDATE: Year and a half later, first bulb replacement (should have been done at the one year mark.. I guess). I took the opportunity to use a duster can and blow out all the dust that had built up in the units over 18 months of continuous use. Wiped down the outsides with Windex. Back in business.

I purchased one and used it in several rooms throughout the house. I did not notice much difference. I then put it in baby's room and within an hour it eliminated the diaper pail smell YAY!

I recently purchased a Germ Guardian for our home. I read about it in Prevention magazine and have always been steered right by them. So far, my husband and I have been "cold free" this winter. I ordered a second one and now have one upstairs and one downstairs. My husband complained that it was too noisy in the family room, so I had to move it to another room. I do not find it to be too noisy. I was so pleased that I bought one for my daughter's home.

Honest reviews on germguardian GG1000 Pluggable UV-C Air Sanitizer

Ive read other reviews on the product such as "falls out of outlet". As a contractor and after using this item myself I'm here to tell you if that's happening you have a worn electrical outlet. Ive been in homes where outlets were so worn a standard cord would barely stay in. The unit is quiet and versatile with the adjustable prongs that allow you to plug it in several positions. You will need to change the UV bulb once a year at about $15.

I have had this Germ Guardian UV-C Air Sanitizer and here's the 411:

REALLY eliminates odors from diaper pails to pet odor, you name it.

very light fan sound actually helps lull my son to sleep.

portable, used during travel and family reunions my son never caught a bug!

great for business travelers (used this on hotel stays) and folks with roommates (students, when you're dorm mate is sick or has a cold, this might just save you!)

use in room setting only for it to function at 100%.

To keep this gadget working, just follow the instructions and booklet, and KEEP the info you'll need the info for bulb replacement and repair. Got mine repaired after 2 years of continued use to be certain that it is functioning well. Like any gadget, you have to care for it as well to keep it in optimum shape.

Worth the price. An absolute must have!!!

We had a Haier dehumidifier for a week emptying it occasionally before we realized the automatic shutoff didn't work. It flooded our basement ruining the carpet. Then Haier's insurance company doesn't want to pay for the replacement carpet.

We sent our unit back for replacement. So far nothing, they've had it for a few days but didn't send one out until we called then said they'll send it out.

Poor product, poor customer support, poor relations with claims. No more Haier products for us.

You would think I would learn, but after originally purchasing this item it did not work properly and did not shut off when the bucket was full. It overflowed for days before we realized it and my carpet was ruined. The company seemed helpful and sent me a replacement one which we used for quite awhile with no problem until yesterday...same scenario, more ruined carpet and the company refuses to deal with me because my inital purchase was over a year ago. This is so frustrating because the whole purpose of having a dehumidifier is to keep the moisture out of the room, not to be soaking every towel you can find with the overflow and spending days trying to dry the area out before it mildews. I have two other dehumidifiers in other areas of the house that I have used for years with no problems and my thought is that they are manual and this one is digital. Never again. I've learned my lesson this time.

Purchased this unit in July 2009. It worked fine for that summer and for 2010. Fan and compressor run, but it will not extract moisture in 2011. After the first year, parts are covered under warranty, but not labor. They do not have service stations.

Honest reviews on Haier DE45EJ-L 45 Pint Electronic Dehumidifer, Energy Star Rated

This dehumidifier seems to work ok. It doesn't rattle and shake and it seems to suck moisture out of the air. However, there is a serious flaw with the hose coupling. Sure, it comes with a 3 foot cheap plastic hose that works just fine, but after 2 years, it developed cracks and needed replacement. I went outside and cut off a length off of an old garden hose, and it DID NOT FIT the bucket. I've never heard of a dehumidifier that wouldn't take a standard hose attachment. Good luck finding a replacement drain hose for it and the cap for the back was long gone after two years.

If this happens to you, instead of contacting Haier, which I assumed would be as good at getting me a replacement as they were designing these things, try cobbling something together. Get some plumbers tape and wrap a bunch of it around the male end on the bucket (it is too small for a regular hose attachment). Wrap it until the female end of the hose barely fits on, then tighten the coupling. After that, wrap some more plumbers tape around the outside, until it is completely covered. Then cover with duct tape to make sure. That keeps the hose itself from leaking if it's prone to. Well, it works for now anyway. Bottom line; stay away from this poorly designed humidifier.

First one was purchased in the spring of '09. It worked that year but when starting up the following spring it was dead. Haier replaced it under warranty and the replacement worked last year. This spring the new one is dead. Both had refrigerant leaks and Haier wouldn't replace as you are under the first one year warranty. So thats 2 in 2 years that both failed boy those chinese sure make a good product for Haier. Never a Haier product again !!!!!

When I was looking for a humidifier. Amazon was the only place I could find one. After reading the reviews I chose this one and I am so glad. Perfect size, easy to handle, fill and clean. Works so well and one of the best things about it, is, it is QUIET. I couldn't be any happier.

Unit works very well. Second one purchased. First sent back after 29 days due to motor bearings going bad. Water last a long time even at full discharge.

Honest reviews on SPT 2-Gallons Ultrasonic Humidifier

This particular humidifier that I am writing about is actually my second one ordered from Amazon. First things first, I am very pleased with this unit, so quiet you can hardly hear it running. Filling the reservoir allows a good 24 hours of misting on high setting. I've been running this unit 24-7 since startup about four weeks ago without any problems other than normal cleaning maintenance.

Now for my first purchase. Upon initial startup everything was working well until I shut it off to move to another area of the house. I could not get it restarted again. Needless to say I wasn't too happy. I called Amazons Customer Service and explained my dilemma to them. In less than 24 hours FedEx was at my door with a new replacement unit and all the paperwork for free return shipment of the defective one. I was very impressed with the way Amazon handled this unfortunate situation.Lets hope I had the only bad apple in the warehouse, and I would still recommend this humidifier to anyone.

I bought it in late April 2013 and used it only for 2 months. I did not use it over the summer. I started to use it again in beginning of October 2013 and found that the unit leaked from the bottom and made the whole floor wet. The unit does not work any more.

It is a bad design and not worth buying at all. Better buy other name brand.

Haier DE65EK 65 Pint Electronic Dehumidifier
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I purchased this item through another company and it seemed to work fine for several months. Then the auto-shut-off stopped working, resulting in ruined and moldy carpet. Doing a little research online, this is a very common malfunction. If the company had stood behind their product and repaired or replaced it, I might be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they don't. They knew the unit was defective and refused to make it right. So run from this product...and as far as I'm concerned, I'd run from Haier as well.

The item arrived on time. However, it will not drain properly even after significant troubleshooting. We have contacted the manufacturer; however, they require several steps to even begin the process of honoring the one year warranty.

Of the three units that I ordered, only one was almost tolerable. One unit was seriously damaged in transit, and I guess that is not a reflection on the quality of the unit. One unit had a bad humidity sensor, which would "read" a humid room as dry, and thus would prevent the unit from turning on. The unit that is almost tolerable, and I decided to keep, or rather I was tired of sending things back, is noisy, and the timer feature does not work. All told, this was not a good purchase.

Honest reviews on Haier DE65EK 65 Pint Electronic Dehumidifier

This unit is replacing a dehumidifier that gave 12 years of terrific service until the motor failed. I went to Consumer Reports for a recommendation on a replacement and they suggested the Haier DE65EK which I purchased. It has performed very poorly. It has removed less than half the water each day that the previous one did. I will not use Consumer Reports for recommendations again. Do yourself a favor, but another brand...

Update: It has only been two weeks since I wrote the review, and today it quit completely. It just stopped functioning. I called their "help line" and ran all of the checks they recommended...nothing seemed to be wrong, but it just didn't run at all. I was then informed that I would have to take this unit to a repair shop that is three cities from where I live. I am a partially disabled elderly person and will have to hire someone to take the unit to the repair shop and pick it up, assuming the repair shop agrees to try to fix it. Do yourself a favor, and do NOT buy one of these...complete waste of money. If I could change the original "two star" rating I gave it to zero stars, I would. The repair company just told me that it would cost $95.00 each way to have it picked up and returned to be assuming they could fix it. What a total rip off.....

The back plastic cover vibrates, I tried tightening the screws but it did not help. I put a piece of the Styrofoam packing between the back of the dehumidifier and the wall to put pressure on the back of the unit , helped some, however still very annoying. I have the unit in the basement; it is still loud up stairs.

I am very happy with this humidor. It is a well crafted box with a beautiful classy look. The hindges work smoothly with no sign of flaw. There is no gap in the seems and no signs of leak. As a first time humidor buyer I would like to have seen more literature with this product to guide me on set up and use. I was also a little unhappy with waiting for my humidor for nearly a month. In all fairness I am stationed overseas, however I receive other products ordered on line in 7-10 days. This humidor does come with a humifier and a hydrometer which work fine, but they are very cheap devices. I felt compelled to purchase better working devices to replace them. Regardless, I would still recommend the purchase of the humidor if you need a small desk top humidor to store 10 to 25 cigars. Considered the cheap devices as freebees. I did have to contact customer service regarding this order as one item was missing upon delivery. The customer response and support was outstanding and definately made up for my disappointments on this order.

The Hygrometer is worthless. The Humistat is a foam filled type unit. Humistat works well. Just remember on the initial charge do not use a 50/50 solution. 1 part glycol to 6 parts distilled water and it will hold 70% humidity for a month per fill. The actual Humidor is fantastic. Seals nicely. Provides a slight spice to cigars like true Spanish Cedar should. Just replace the crap Hygrometer with a good digital and it's a perfect unit.

This isn't the best Humidor in the world, but you can't beat the quality for the price you pay. It's large and sturdy, plus it looks good on my end table. The adhesive on the included hydrometer is a little weak, but some crazy glue took care of that in a jiffy. I would definitely recommend this for someone who is looking for a way to store and display their cigars tastefully but doesn't want to spend a whole lot of money.

Honest reviews on 25-cigar Riviera Humidor

This humidor is great for a first time humidor buyers, like myself. It's real spanish cedar on the inside that make your cigars smell and taste delicious. The outside looks classy and elegant, despite it being veneer. The humidor comes with a small humidifier and hygrometer. The sticky material used to hold the humidifier and hygrometer to the lid of the humidor doesn't stay well, so I had to super glue it on. The humidifier has a nice magnetic backing so you can remove it from the base and refill it with distilled water/propylene glycol (which I just use cheap rewetting eye drops). It also comes with an instruction booklet that tells you how to break in (season) your humidor, charging and filling your humidifier, calibration of the hygrometer, and how to store and clean it. The supplied hygrometer, however, doesn't have a small screw on the back to calibrate it if it is off, so you'll just have to know that it's off by 10, 15, 20, etc. Though there are those few minor deficiencies, the price offsets them. If you're a first time humidor buyer, you don't want to spend a lot of money, and you're not sure what to buy, I highly recommend this model.

I knew when I purchased this item that it was NOT an air conditioner and that I should not expect the cooling power of an air conditioner. I did expect that it would lower the room temperature by 12 degrees as advertised. After reading the instructions, setting it up, and filling the tank, I let it run in a small bedroom from 5pm until 11pm. After 6 hours the room was not only still hot, but now it was hot and slightly humid as well. People said this works better in dry climates. I live in Southern California surrounded by desert, about as dry as you can get. I felt I had givin it a fair chance and returned the machine.

bought this product from a vietnamese supermarket for the same price as offered here. used the evaporative function for about a week, then it started leaking. Took it apart found no cracks in the water tray, also tightened up the drain plug with teflon tape, still leaked. put a ring of plumbers putty where drain hole in water tray meets the frame and reseated the water tray. Did not leak for about an hour, so I left for work, came back home after a few hours, the towels I placed around the bottom on the unit was soaked, leaked again. Cannot return it as I've thrown the box and reciept away. The fan function is powerful and works good not sure about how good the ionizer works, but it is always on. Once the unit dries off, I will just use the fan function. Unit is also very light and is attractive, too bad it leaks, will not get another one.

I see many negative reviews here, so I wanted to post a positive one. I work at a stage door on B'way and have no AC whatsoever once the door to the stage is closed. My friend has lent me her SPT cooling system and it makes all the difference in the world! I haven't had any "leaking problems" (that other reviewers have reported.) It's quiet--which is essential so that the show is not disturbed. The 3 speed & "swing" function is great because it doesn't blow directly on me the whole time. As long as I've got ice in the bottom drawer, it stays pretty cool in here. I also appreciate the wheels on the bottom to make transferring and storing it easily. All in all, for what its worth, I couldn't be happier!

Honest reviews on SPT SF-613 LED Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer

This unit is the same as the Tayama Air Cooler TC-998 and works as poorly.

Only after filling the entire tray with ice and water chilled overnight does this thing have any cooling effect and even than, it's only for an hour or so.

Anything less then ice and ice water will do nothing more than generate humidity and waste power.

Save your money and buy a real AC unit for supplemental cooling.

Well if I could give a rating of less than 1 star I definatly would, the output is warm to hot air unless of course you dump a 5 pound bag of ice in the tray and some water, the highest setting is less powerful than the lowest setting on a $20 fan. A total waste of money, you need to be seated within 1 to 3 feet away from it to feel any kind of air from it. DONT waste your money on this junk.
