Discount EUV-13B Enviracaire Germ Free Humidifier Bulb

Customer Ratings:

This bulb arrived broken. Considering how much it cost you would think a bit more care could have been taken with it. If I do not receive a replacement bulb that works I will never order from this company again.

The company is reshipping another bulb free of charge.

I will update my review upon receiving a working bulb.

Unbelievable.

The replacement bulb was also broken.

NEVER ORDERING FROM AGAIN.

Customer Ratings:

These came promptly and look just like what they will replace. They are in fact 6-7/8" by 7-1/8 by 1", not 6-1/2" by 7-1/4" by 1" like described. Hopefully they will fit in the slot and be fine. Not quite ready to replace the old one yet. Wish me luck.

The good news is, it humidifies. That's what I bought it for and that's what it does. The level of humidity is adjustable, allowing the unit to automatically cycle on and off as needed. And yes, you can adjust the fan speed, but getting it anywhere near the upper range makes it sound like a B29 taking off. IT'S LOUD! I leave it on med-low and it's not bad at all.

It has two plastic 2.6 gallon water bottles and at the med-low fan speed I use, I go through about 1 bottle per day. It keeps the rooms close to it quite comfortable, but rooms farther away don't get much. Your mileage will vary depending on humidifier location, floor plan, and normal air circulation.

As far as being built "sturdy" (as one reviewer pointed out), I have to disagree. The entire housing is made of plastic. Without the water bottles in it, it's so light that on a hard floor it easily rolls away with the lightest bump. Unless you are on carpet, I recommend NOT installing the castors that come with it. The weakest part of the whole unit is the stupid lid. It's constantly falling off it's hinges when I'm replacing the water bottles. It's just poorly designed.

I highly recommend buying the optional "air cleaner filter" (model #1051) that fits on the back. It helps clear your house of dust and pollen and also makes your internal wick last longer. For allergy sufferers, this is an absolute MUST.

Speaking of making wicks last longer, it wasn't until I read the owner's manual that I found out soft water is NOT recommended as it's supposedly not good for the wick. Oh well. The only NON-softened water I have is my outdoor hose and there's NO WAY I'm going out there every morning in the snow to fill my humidifier bottles!

All in all, I give it a 5 in performance, 4 in construction, and a 2 in convenience. (Hey, refilling and lugging 22 lbs of water every morning gets old!) Since performance is really what we want out of it, it gets an overall score of 4 stars from me.

BTW, use about 1/2 as much of the anti-bacterial additive as the bottle recommends and it does just fine.

Cheers!

ON the plus side the unit is capable of putting a lot of moisture into the air. In the first 24 hours of running it put almost 15 gallons out.

The negatives stack up fast mostly due to poor finish quality.

1) The stain on the top cover has drip marks on it and portions of it look like a chemical was spilled on it removing its luster.

2) The back of the unit is not stained but is white and in the directions its says to leave the unit 4" from any wall which means you do see the back of the unit. The hinges on the back which hold the cover in place and stick up were not painted and they are clearly visible.

3) The unit is made of plastic which is to be expected. However the panels of the unit are so thin that they were all warped. The top is ill fitting at best and the front panel has a clear bow to it.

4) Its loud on anything more then the lowest settings you cannot carry on a conversation on the telephone in the same room with it.

To sum up: It looks like junk but humidifies well.

I'm off to go find a place to hide this from sight. Wish it was as pretty as the picture.

The product arrived damaged, not from shipping damage, but from packing at the factory. Too damaged to use. Dealer said they didn't want it back. It's a good thing, because it was replaced by a unit that wouldn't run. I took the fan unit (which wan't damaged) out of the damaged unit and put it in the second unit and it runs, but only at a low fan speed. Anything higher causes too much vibration noise. Also, both units we received were poorly finished, with the base being several shades lighter than the cover, which matches the picture on the box. It looks like they only gave the bottom one coat of stain. Thanks to the dealer who refunded our money. My email with complaints directly to the manufacturer got no response.

Honest reviews on Essick Air 696-400 Variable Speed Whole House Humidifier

I received this a couple days ago and so far so good. The humidity has gone from 40 to 50% in our house and it is much more comfortable. We do have a humidifier built into our furnace, but the high-efficiency furnaces just aren't on long enough to put out much water.

One caveat on this unit design with the angled corners the right and left bottles are not interchangeable. With a rectangular type unit, when the right bottle empties you can switch the full left one to the right, fill the empty bottle and put it in the left. This way you were constantly cycling through fresh water fills while only needing to refill one bottle at a time. With this angle corner design unit, you really need to allow both bottles to empty, or at least refill both when you do refill in order to ensure fresh water is always feeding in. This also can cause waste of any antibacterial solution being used.

Other than that, works great and I would recommend.

This is a great humidifier that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but extremely functional. It is very sturdy and the craftsmanship is wonderful. You can even adjust the output to fit any house, big or small. Great buy!

Reviews of Broksonic Ultrasonic Humidifier and Diffuser

Customer Ratings:

This is the best humidifier I ever owned. Unlike others, this one has a long snout that shoots the moisture upwards from the height, reducing the fallout in immediate vicinity, no wet carpet with this one. It's also very quiet, not whisper quiet but comfy quiet. The output even on the lowest "SLOW" setting is generous enough for my biggest bedroom.

Aromatherapy feature works GREAT: adding a few drops of an essential oil transforms the whole aura of the place.

I uploaded a ton of pictures with notes, check them out. I am a lousy photoghrapher, those pictures lack luster but they show you everything you may want to know about this model.

That said, there are a couple design features showed in the pictures:

1. The snout has the tip wrapped insidewards, forming a pocket of plastic. This causes backflux: condensate accumulates on the tip and flows back. Too much condensate, the unit shuts down. You have to take the hood off, shake the water out, dry it out a bit before replacing it and restarting the unit. To prevent this from happening, do not unplug the unit immediately after you turn it off. After you turn the unit off by pressing the button, the fan keeps running (humming) for about 2 minutes more, to clean up any moisture accumulated in the hood. Unplug the unit after the fan stops naturally and you should be fine.

2. The on/off button placed on the bottom, not the most comfortable place unless you park the unit up on a nightstand.

3. The air inlet on the bottom does not allow the unit to be placed directly on a carpet, it has to rest on a hard flat surface. As it shows on my pictures, I opted for a 3rd party plastic tray.

That said, still, even at this price, I bought the second one for another bedroom and will buy one more for my home office.

Out of 2 units I ordered, 1 turned out defective: it was much louder than the good one and the area around the button was strangely hot. I contacted the manufacturer, they are processing replacement for free.

Up north, the winters are dry despite the snow, so my husband and I like to have a humidifier in the bedroom. I've always hated the way they looked, but it was an ugly necessity. But now, this little number has solved the problem. It's beautiful and runs silent, filling the room with just the right amount of moisture. Keep in mind it has a limited water reservoir, so it has to be refilled nightly, and is made for a smaller space, such as a bedroom. It has settings for different levels of humidity and alerts you when the water tank is empty. Well made, durable, and handsome!

Purchased this for my condo since it gets really dry in the winter time. Very sleek design and functions really well. Gets lots of compliments from visitors. Not so heavy and easily portable from room to room. Leave it on for a day and you'll notice that your skin isn't as dry and it's easier to breath, and no more static electricity =)

I first saw this in Japan last October but I didn't want to hassle to bring it all the way back to the States. I was very impressed though. I finally find this product for sale in U.S. market. I jumped to buy it immediately. I've had it for a couple of weeks, just as wonderful as expected. It's plastic, don't get me wrong but it doesn't give off the cheap feel. It actually look like a ceramic vast. Beautiful and functional!! I'm very happy owning it!!

Customer Ratings:

Bought this last year. So sorry I did.

Tho it is a great size for the bedroom, etc., it doesn't hold much water; wet's the floor and surrounding areas; when you fill, water drips all over; leaves the dreaded white film and wet surfaces. Cleaning is constant.

Oh, one more thing...the cord is placed in the front, where the mist comes out, which makes this unwieldy when trying to place it on a stand and plug in. Design flaw.

Review of DeLonghi DD45P 45-Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier with Patented Pump

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $336.00
Sale Price: $309.95
Today's Bonus: 8% Off

This DeLonghi DD45P Dehumidifier is so far advanced over other dehumidifiers I have owned over the past 15 to 20 years, it is like a newly invented appliance for 2010.

It's the pump stupid! Why haven't all dehumidifiers been designed with automatic pumps from the get-go? Did appliance designers think that a homeowner would gladly trade a dry basement for the chore of emptying a bucket of water every day?

The initial set-up was relatively easy after I read the instructions twice. The controls are understandable and fairly intuitive.

This is a smart dehumidifier compared to the older manual dumbbells I have owned. The display reads your room temperature. The unit can be set on auto, to run until it brings the humidity level in percent numbers down to a level you decide. It can be set to run for a selected time period or just run continuously at one of its two different speeds, high and not quite as high. It has delayed start and delayed stop if desired. If you choose to not pump the condensate to a nearby drain or out the window, don't turn on the pump, and it will fill its built-in bucket instead. All this and energy star rated to boot.

The pump works well. The supplied condensate hose, which is 3/8" OD clear vinyl, runs up a corner wall in my basement about 8ft, then about 8ft more along the ceiling of my adjoining laundry room, and 4ft down into a laundry tub. I did have to add 8ft more hose to make the distance, but the pump handles it all very nicely. I bought this model for the pump and I consider this purchase as one of my better moves. It has been running 24/7 for about 6 weeks, and I just forget its there. My fingers are crossed.

The only negative features (in my opinion) are that the hose for the pump comes out the front of the unit near the base and the tiny wheels don't lift the unit high enough up off the floor to run the condensate hose under the unit towards the back so its not so visible.

My current DeLonghi (40 pt) has gone on the fritz so I bought the newest model DD45P. The sensors on the old one (6 years old) have gone wacko, and the defroster (heater coil) seems constantly engaged, thereby pumping out super heated air... not good during the summer months here in the Northeast where 90 degrees+ has become the norm. The new DeLonghi arrived last week and has a more compact design than the old one, seems to be performing well, however, the 2 speed fan is problematic to me. DeLonghi should have stayed with the 3 speed fan as on the older models; that would REALLY have improved the "quiet" factor. Also the 24 hour timer feature is laughable... please, for this price, let me program more than one block of time. I love the pump, however, as an owner of a previous model who has taken the old one apart, be warned that what is growing inside the older unit has got to be unhealthy!!!! Yuk! If only replacement parts were made available at a reasonable price, my old one could be kept working! I need 2 for my large basement area, so I think I will be buying an additional one of a different brand to see if it performs any more efficiently and lasts longer!

The unit itself works great, except...

When I was researching dehumidifiers, the description of the DD45P said it has a 24-hour timer. I was under the assumption that I could program it, for example, to run for 8 hours, stop for 8 hours, run for 8, stop for 8, etc. In other words once I programmed it would maintain that cycle continuously until I turned off or changed the timer. My previous LG dehumidifier worked that way; I could program a continuous cycle. But not the DD45P. The program works for just once cycle; you have to reprogram it at the end of the cycle if you want it on timer again. And that's not the worst. You program it to start when the unit is in off mode; enter the number of hours after which you want the unit to turn on. However, to enter the number of hours after which you want it to turn off, you must wait until the unit turns on. You can only enter minimum increments of 1/2 hour for both on and off. So here's the scenario: Go down to the basement (where most people keep their dehumidifier), program it to start in 1/2 hour, go back upstairs, go back downstairs 1/2 hour later to program the turn off time. Repeat this daily or multiple times during the day if that's what you want. Of course you can run it without a timer; it then runs 24/7. But for energy-saving purposes a continuous timer would be nice.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi DD45P 45-Pint Energy Star Dehumidifier with Patented Pump

The unit is very effective at removing moisture from the air. But the fan continues to run after the desired humidity is achieved. This in my mind is not very energy efficient. Also,the unit has a timer which you can only program the run time i.e. (turn the unit on. program the length of time you would like it to run and then it shuts off.It will not turn on again until you manually turn it on). I think a clock that you could program the on/off times would be a better feature.

DEHUMIDIFYING ABILITY: Absolutely fantastic. It has lowered the humidity in my downstairs (roughly 1000 sq. ft) from 65% to 45% in roughly an hour at 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

NOISE: It has a low and high speed. On low, it sounds like a pedestal oscillating fan on high. On high, it sounds like a typical window air conditioning unit on high. I know these are inexact measurements, but what I am trying to convey is the noise does not bother my wife and I at all.

EASE OF USE: I am a technically inclined person, but I can't see anyone having any difficulty operating this unit. There is a power button, timer button (for delayed start and shutoff), Pump (for toggling between tank and pump modes), Humidity + and -, and display button. Pretty self explanatory what all of these buttons should do.

FEATURES: The built in pump works fantastic, and the ability to use it in tank (manually empty tank) and free drain mode makes it universal for all consumers. My biggest (only really) complaint about this unit, is the timing function which I will discuss below:

TIMER FUNCTION: This feature is pretty terrible. You can only set the unit to shut itself off on a delay when it is currently running or have it delay starting when it is currently off. There is NO scheduling an on and off time and certainly no days of the week settings. This will be a deal breaker for a lot of customers, however I am able to simply turn it on several times per week manually.

CONCLUSION: If the unit had even had a basic 1 day on/off scheduling timer, I would give it 5 stars. Overall, the price for what you get it good especially when you consider it has a built in pump.
