Vicks Vaporizer with Night-Light Review

Vicks Vaporizer with Night-Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have this exact unit. It works constantly, with no problems at all.
A pinch of salt, and it steams away and shuts off automatically when low.
I love the simplicity of this unit.
After years of using all the different fancy new kinds of humidifiers that need constant cleaning and special filters and antibacterial crap, this is very nice. No muss, no fuss, just moisture in the air.
The black stuff in the water is normal and is not gross, as someone said in another review.

Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier 1 ea Review

I bought this warm mist humidifier after owning a vaporizer and a cool mist humidifier. The vaporizer was fine except that it was too hot and burned my son's arm, so i needed something else. The cool mist humidifier (different company) broke very fast besides for the expense of changing filters.
This humidifier is great.
1) The warmth is very soothing but not too hot-it won't burn you if you put your hand over the mist.
2) It never leaks onto the floor or gets the surrounding furniture wet (the other one did all the time).
3) It is whisper quiet. You can hardly hear the very soft humming sound even when right near it even on high.
4) It gives out a nice amount of humidity even on the low setting.
5) It is very simple to clean.
6) It is very light and easy to fill up.
On the low setting the water lasts well over 12 hours-I haven't timed exactly how long. On high it goes for about a little over 11 hours. The auto shut-off works very nicely.
I really think this product is great so far. I've paid more for it at a local store and still think it's worth it. The Amazon price is really great which makes it a great buy.

Water is one nutrient that all forms of life must have to survive. All functions of your body require sufficient moisture to work properly. When your body does not have sufficient moisture, it functions poorly. Dry, arid climatic conditions are usually the culprit. Colds and flu can further cause dehydration.
Colds and flu begin making their seasonal rounds during fall and winter. Part of the reason for increased respiratory illnesses during this time is because the humidity level in the air reaches its yearly lows. Central heating units in homes and offices further remove moisture from the air. The relative humidity may drop to as low as 10% - drier than the air in the Sahara Desert. Most people experience problems when the relative humidity drops below 25%. A comfortable humidity level should not be higher than 50%.
The Vicks® Warm Mist Humidifier helps combat this excessive dryness, providing these benefits:
Keeps your respiratory system moist, allowing it to fight off bacteria, viruses and pollutants.
Relieves cold, flu and hay fever symptoms.
Relieves dry, irritated and itching skin and eyes.
Relieves coughs and dry, scratchy throat.
Helps you breathe better and sleep more comfortably.
Stops dry out damaged to plants, paintings and furniture.
Saves you money on your heating bills, since proper humidity lets you feel more comfortable at lower temperatures.
Pure Warn Moisture for Soothing Relief of Cold & Flu Symptoms:
Nightlight: Soft glowing nightlight makes it easy to locate the humidifier in a dark room.
Convenient Handles: Two tank handles - one on the top and one of the bottom for easy filling.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this after reading a review of vaporizers / humidifiers in Good Housekeeping magazine, http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-testing/reviews-tests/appliances-electronics/best-humidifiers. This Air O Swiss model is different than the one recommended by GH, but it is AWESOME.

It's a cold mist, so it's safe for kids / pets; I only need to fill it once a day; it is designed so that it won't grow mold or harbor germs / viruses; very fine mist & leaves no powdery residue.VERY EASY to USE!AWESOME!

BONUS -- much lower energy costs than other humidifiers / vaporizers AND much more effective.

Product Description:
The Air-O-Swiss Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier 7145 is a high-quality ultrasonic humidifier featuring a premium titanium transducer surface, which uses adjustable high-frequency vibrations to turn water into a micro-fine mist, which is blown into the room to evaporate. Unlike other ultrasonic humidifiers, the Air-O-Swiss titanium transducer surface is much stronger than ordinary metals, resists rust, lasts longer and requires less cleaning. The Air-O-Swiss 7145 features a tri-band microbial protection system which guarantees that the water will be kept free from harmful bacteria and viruses. A replaceable demineralization cartridge (Ag+ Ionic Silver Technology) helps reduce ?white dust" (lime scale and other mineral deposits from the mist output). In addition, the patented Ionic Silver Stick uses aqueous silver ions to control microbial growth for up to one year of continuous use. It is self-regulating and maintenance-free.

Germ Guardian H4500 120 Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

(More customer reviews)
When I first moved to the high mountains (8400') of Colorado, I used a wick-type humidifier constantly. I also had a nasty little cough that stayed with me for 18 months. Finally, I took my doctor's advice and junked the humidifier. End of cough, due to things growing in the unit. I have been shopping for humidifiers again for a while, and found them all to be lacking severely. Either they were the same type of filter construction that had caused my illness, or they were cheaply made, or low-capacity. This unit may have a tippy storage tank when turned upside-down to fill, but it is well made. The screw-on cap for the reservoir is sturdy and has a rubber gasket. There are carrying handles on the top and bottom of the water container to make it easy to manage, and it puts out a LOT of humidity. At 2/3 setting, it ran the humidity in my bedroom from 22 to 35% the first night, all while being completely silent. The (silent) piezo-electric ultrasonic element is the same as is used in the tweeters of my big PA speakers, and these are practically indestructible if kept clean. The huge water reservoir does mean that it is big, and the styling is retro, which is OK, I guess. More expensive units from the same manufacturer have useless and noisy digital features with the same overall construction. Overall, a solid five.

HW Warm Moisture Humidifier (HWM950) Review

HW Warm Moisture Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is not a bad humidifier for the price. The main drawbacks are that it does not hold enough water to humidify a medium- to large-sized room for any length of time, and that it requires frequent and extensive cleaning.

Pros:

Style. It looks very nice. Its size (11"H x 11"W x 6.5"D) means that it will fit nicely on a nightstand or in a small corner.

Ease of use. It can be used right out of the box; it's not even necessary to read the instructions [Update: read the instructions on maintenance]. This unit is beyond self-explanatory. The tank is small enough that it can be filled at the kitchen sink, and it's very easy to carry even while full.

Quiet operation. It's pretty much silent except for a faint hissing sound and the occasional gurgle.

Features. It has two output settings (clearly marked by a picture of a single drop of water vs. a picture of three drops of water). The auto shut-off feature is nice, and I like the fact that it doesn't require filters. It doesn't produce the white dust that ultrasonic humidifiers spew out.

Cons:

Output. I turn it on when I go to bed at night. On the high setting, it runs completely dry long before I get up 7 hours later...and I wake up feeling dried out. On the low setting, it only puts out about half the water in the tank...and I wake up feeling dried out. The box says it's intended for medium-sized rooms, but it doesn't define "medium." My bedroom is about 17' x 14'. I probably should have purchased a unit intended for a "large" room.

Opening the tank. It forms a vacuum as it empties, and the cap can be very difficult to unscrew as a result. It takes quite a bit of effort to get it started; an elderly or disabled person likely wouldn't be able to unscrew it.

MAINTENANCE. It turns out that the unit has to be completely disassembled, soaked in vinegar, and scrubbed routinely. I neglected to do that, and the unit stopped working within less than a month. The auto shut-off would engage even though the unit was full of water, essentially reducing it to a $25 night light. Now that I've cleaned it, it is working again. The maintenance aspect is a pain. I am used to cool mist humidifiers, which simply require replacing the filters once a year. It is possible that the maintenance could be avoided if one used distilled water in the unit - but at about $1/gallon for distilled water, it would be cheaper just to buy a new humidifier every month.

Overall, I wish I'd spent a bit more money for a cool-mist humidifier that actually kept my bedroom humidified overnight and didn't require extra care. But if you're using it for a small room and don't mind the frequent cleaning, it might be a good value for the money.

I would have rated this a 5 star if the cleaning was easier, but I do not know if such a humidifier exists.
We have hard water and the build up of scale was becoming a problem, even with daily cleaning (yes, you should clean this unit daily). I came up with a solution to reduce and almost eliminate the scale - I add a teaspoon of baking soda to the tank when I refill it. The scale is drastically reduced and the unit runs at a whisper quiet. I originally ran the unit without the baking soda and there was some noise, mainly gurgling, that was too loud for me since I am a light sleeper.

There is a black covered heating element that requires cleaning to remove scale. This can be very difficult to remove. I solved this as part of the weekly maintenance when you use vinegar to clean the base. The part with the heating element rests on the base. By adding enough vinegar to fill the well where the heating element engages with the base, and allowing it to soak for 10 or 15 minutes, the scale is easily removed.

I like the warm mist because it helps warm up the room.

Overall, I believe this unit is a great value.

Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier Review

Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
WOW! Finally one that WORKS and doesn't wake the neighbors!

We have been through just about every type/brand of humidifier in our quest for the perfect one over the last 15 years. So when I pressed the "on" switch on our new "Venta Sonic VS205" I knew our quest was finally over. Out came an unbelievable "fog cloud" of humidity that gently wafted over the room. Later as the humidity level rose - monitored by the nifty LCD readout on the front - the unit suspended "cloud formation" and waited patiently until the room percentage had dropped below the set level and then resumed.

Pros::

1) Absolutley soundless!!! Many of the other brands worked fine but were so noisy we couldn't sleep.
2) Runs at least 24 hours on a fill (depending on what level you set it on - ours is 45% - 50%)
3) Instant gratification - monitors the humidity level in your room - not many actually do this - you just have to guess and never really know - so this is big.

Cons:

1) The only one - it's a bit tricky to fill. Have to turn the tank upside down and unscrew the filter. As an Industrial Designer I could come up with at least 3 better ways to do this - one being simply have another fill cap on the top. But this is really not a problem since the unit has so many other admirable features (AND - you only have to do this once a day!!)

This works about the same as most sold by other humidifier companies to clean them, but no better really. I have found the best is white or distilled vinegar with peroxide but please do not stand over or have your eyes close to the fumes from this combination as it can be long term harmful to vision according to studies done on these products. As long as you leave the room for the soak in the sink or in the product base, and then come to rinse it in plain water, that has come to be my favorite combination for cleaning and descaling. Not straight vinegar and peroxide but mixed in water, like gallon of water, cup of vinegar, half or quarter cup of peroxide. This also will kill any mold or mildew that might have developed.

Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier with Auto Shut-Off Review

Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier with Auto Shut-Off
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I knew i needed a humidifier, as i'm just not used to the dry air of east coast winters. But after shopping around on amazon for warm mist humidifiers, i was horrified by the reviews. Every humidifier seemed to be loud, leaky, and a hassle. I ended up getting this one because of the relatively low price, thinking that if it was as bad as all the others, at least i wouldn't have spent too much on it.

I have no complaints.

On the low setting, it's about as loud as a pot of water boiling in the next room. On the high setting, it might compete with a pot of water boiling in the same room. Every once in a while it gets a bit talkative, but that's rare and doesn't last long. I'm a light sleeper, and this unit never wakes me up.

On the low setting, a full tank of water lasts a little over 24 hours. On the high setting, it goes through in about 8 to 9 hours, perfect to run overnight.

The auto-shutoff works just fine, so i don't even bother turning it off before i leave the house.

It is a bit annoying to clean the unit, but that has a lot to do with the tap water here being less than perfectly clean. We switched to using filtered water, and now the humidifier is actually our way of knowing when to change the filter. When there's build-up on the heating element, the filter isn't working as well anymore.

The daily maintenance takes no more than a few minutes. The weekly maintenance takes longer, but that's mainly because you throw some of the pieces in to soak. It's maybe 10 minutes of effort, plus however long you want to soak the pieces.

In all, i'm very glad i purchased this unit. (And the water tank isn't nearly as blue as it looks in the picture.)

They do seem to help with collection of minerals from the water you use.But, you still have to pay attention to the scale build up on the heating element.Do not let it build up, as it is really hard to remove it.Use white vinegar as least once a week to clean or soak the heating surface.
I also found that as it comes with two pads together; that was blocking the water from flowing into the heating area, so I just separated them and use one pad at a time.
