11 Years to failure

Date:February 12, 2012

"Bought this thing back in 2004. It is simple, quiet, and does a very good job of keeping the humidity level in my apartment up in the 30-50% humidity range. It's only drawback, if you have hard water, is the speed with which the heater will accumulate tap scale. Allowing it to run dry between fillings is part of the cleaning process as the heat cracks off chunks of this stuff which you have to remove from the inner tray regularly - wash them down the John as someone else has recommended. I've found that taking it into the kitchen every two or three weeks and filling the inner tray with vinegar is an adequate way to clean off some of the excess scale. Leave it overnight at the very least - two nights is better.
Recently a crack developed in the tank and, due to this, it has leaked. I could likely fix this but for the price of the thing I think I'll just replace it."

Good value - super quiet!

Date:January 9, 2012

"Pretty happy with this humidifier overall. The machine is VERY quiet and easy to fill. The only problem is that it raises the temperature in our master bedroom too much that we wake up sweating - ugh. We will either turn it on a few hours before bed time and then have it off during sleep or exchange for a cool mist humidifier which we could then use in summer as well."

Poor product, avoid at all cost

Date:December 19, 2011

"There is really no big secret with this thing, it's a simple humidifier that doesn't do much It boils water on the bottom and sends the vapor/steam out the top, therefore supposedly humidifying rooms.
Well, even on Highest humidity and boiling settings, this this is very weak and doesnt boil hard enough, therefore rendering it pretty much useless for anything aside from very tiny rooms and witch closed doors.
This thing could be left on highest setting all day long and it couldn't raise humidity a few degrees, it's pretty much useless.
I don't go by how it feels in the room, I go by what my thermometer and humid-stat tells me and it tells me that this unit doesn't humidify my room whatsoever. Raising humidity by one or two degrees is absolutely useless.

I am returning mine asap, stay away from this useless humidifier, it won't do a thing to your home, but needlessly waste energy."

Does its job, but disintegrates over time

Date:November 24, 2011

"First, I don't know what unit @sherilynn uses, but there's no motor in this unit - it's basically an electric kettle heating element that sits in the bottom tray of water, and that's how the steam is generated.

At any rate, I'm of two minds of this humidifier. First, the good: it does humidify extremely well, and it is very quiet as well. We've also owned it for a number of years and has proven itself reliable.

The bad, though, is that the heating element is disintegrating. At first, there were small rust flecks in the lower tray (we'd let it run dry every night and then clean the tray and refill the tank the next day)... Then the rust flecks became progressively worse, turning the tray orange. I took the unit apart to clean and that's when I realized the element was basically falling apart, so we threw the unit out."

If it goes on sale: BUY IT! If it doesn't: BUY IT!

Date:January 14, 2011

"Hello!

A wonderful item to buy :)

850 sq. feet apartment

For maximum coverage keep it filled & on high and you're good to go.

I measure humidity with my own humidex placed in my home office where I naturally glance at it daily, far from the unit ... if I see a low reading I realize I may have forgotten to fill it.

Even on high - NOT noisey - people just like to complain. It's a unit that has a motor that makes steam that doesn't cost an arm and a leg... it's unrealistic to expect it to be ultra silent.

If my son starts coughing, I put it on low in his room overnight. His coughs stop within an hour and then I slide it back out into the hall in the morning to start replenishing the rest of the apartment (I even...shame... pull it by the cord along the hardwood I'm that lazy... NOT RECOMMENDED).

If you get weird garbly sound - CLEAN it... takes a few minutes (kinda gross but it is what it is... built up gunk that needs to go).

Tip for cleaning: scrape the gunk right into the toilet (careful to avoid backsplash, hee hee) then flush away.

Don't waste your time on bigger ones that are regularly more but for some reason are ALWAYS on sale at one hardware store or another every week. I think this one rarely goes on sale because it's such good quality. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat if it was on sale but since I'm cheap, I can handle refilling mine once/twice max a day to get maximum square feet coverage.

I've had this two years!

Nothing to do but MAKE SURE to clean it before storing for summer (this is one of those empty boxes you may consider keeping) and if you hear the garbling noise start... clean it out before it goes from gross to downright, uck yuck.

BTW: research cool mist vs. steam humidifiers and you will see the health risks associated with cool mist ones and the health benefits of steam ones... I had to for health reasons and I am 110% happy with this purchase.

May God richly bless you all!

Does a good job

Date:January 22, 2010

"It's relatively quiet, does a great job, easy to refill (but it's a bit messy because water drips off the reservoir as I walk it to the faucet in the bathroom), feels stable.
You use a dial to select how humid you want to set the machine at - but it's a continuum from not-very to way-lots. There's no digital readout to say what the humidity is in the room. I had it on too humid the first night, but dialed it down a bit and it was fine."

works well

Date:January 22, 2010

"My wife bought this humidifier for my daughter's dorm room. It works very well there. It is very simple to operate and clean. There are no filters required. You just need to clean the tray with vinegar once a month or so."

Anonymous

Answer:

no filters. its a kettle design, but you'll have to clean out the water tray every few days or once a week. i'm going with another model..

RD37

Answer:

No filters at all... just gotta clean out the gunk that accumulates.

Instructions show you how... I put a tip in my review too.

I'm finding no filter items (like my air purifier too) are better simply because they don't rely on people forking out big bucks for filters... they rely on people doing it themselves. If one is too grossed out or too busy to clean it I would say buy something that costs less now, will definitely cost more in the long run but will take away personal responsibility to maintain it.

Is a 2 gallon unit sufficient enough for a larger room?

Question:

Our master bedroom is 12'x16'x8'= 192 sqft or 1536 cuft

borent

Answer:

Check out my review - I can't imagine you'd have any trouble whatsoever covering that space... in fact, you'd probably not have to fill it often if you set the humidity dial to high and kept the output amount to low (so low speed, high humidity).

If you wanted your room's humidity to rise quickly you can do high speed, high humidity - the dial is actually quite handy and once your level is reached the blue light tells you it's waiting to kick in if it starts to get dry.

I highly recommend getting a cheap plastic humidex and put it somewhere you will see it daily (I got mine at CTIRE for $9.00 I think).

sherilynn

Answer:

As a general guideline, 2 gallon units are sufficient for small to medium rooms and should be able to cover up to 400 sqft. 3 gallon units, depending on the unit can cover up to 700 sqft. This one should be fine for your room.

Answer:

My Fiance' and I bought ours on Dec 2nd 2008 for $40.00 we feel that it is a reasonable price for the unit. We are having some minor issues but are certain that it comes from being our first humidifier, We filled up the tank but it appears nothing is working. (were not sure if there is a saftey Valve that has to be opened or not. I'm sure we'll find it soon
