Listen up women. Read this. Works great, except... -- 2010-02-26
The humidifier works wonderfully. It's quiet and seems like a lot of thought went into engineering this. BUT...who the heck thought it would be smart to remove the water bin, turn it upside down, unscrew the cartridge, fill it with water while attempting to hold it wuth one hand as you try to turn water off, screw cartridge back in, and carry back to base. Heres the issue, if they would have made the top flat instead of curved with a protruding handle, you could at least sit the basin without having to hold it. Why not just unscrew something on top of unit so you don't have to flip the darn thing upside down? Makes me use it less often to avoid having to refill water. Because the base has water, when you remove the basin to refill, you drip water all over your floor. Please redesign.
Excellent product -- 2010-02-19
I've now used my new humidifier for a couple of weeks and the product is working well. I have it placed in our kitchen which is quite large (500sf or so with 9' ceiling) within a 5,000 sf home. My wife works from home at the kitchen table and had been complaining about some sinus issues during the winter months. After conducting extensive research, I decided to purchase this product and it does the trick. Breathing is noticeably better for both of us and my skin and lips aren't so dry anymore. Sometimes I'll forget to turn the unit on and will notice a difference in the breathing. I like the ability to switch from warm to cold mist and the flexibility to vary the mist output from the product. It does go through quite a bit of water (which is probably good since that water goes into the air) and I find that a full tank will take me through most of the day (I have been running it just over mid-way on the output dial). Thank-fully, it is easy to re-fill and I'm not experiencing any of the white dust I've read on some other reviews. Our water is town-provided and we don't use a water softener.
We have had humidifiers in the past (both central and portable) and the experiences have not been great. With this new home, I was hoping to avoid getting one again (I just put in new furnaces and decided to pass on a central humidifier because of the issues with mold, etc...). I must say that this unit is a welcome addition to the house. Because of our experience with this model, I have now decided to buy a second unit for our bed-room.
Wary of white dust. Works great with distilled water (a hassle to buy regularly) -- 2010-02-15
I used this AOS7135 for 4 weeks with tap water and the demineralization cartridge. After about 3 weeks I noticed a large amount of white dust on my TV screen and tables. Even with the demineralization cartridge I knew that the white dust would not be totally eliminated but I was hoping for a lot less of it. I don't want to change the cartridge every 2 weeks.
I became wary of inhaling this white dust so I switched to distilled water ($0.83/gal at Wal-Mart). I tried this for another week but it was too much of a hassle to buy 10-14 jugs each week for each humidifier.
I think this will work well for you if your water has low mineral content or if you don't mind buying a lot of distilled water regularly.
I returned the AOS7135 and purchased the Vornado Evaporative humidifier instead. I use it with the Protec cartridge and make sure to clean it well every week to reduce bacteria build up in the wicks. So far so good.
Frustrating humidifier -- 2010-02-11
I thought I had finally found the perfect humidifier - it's ultra quiet and relatively easy to clean. It works beautifully in all aspects except it produces A LOT of white dust, no matter how often I've replaced the demineralization cartridge. I've tried many different humidifiers with bad results, except Venta, and have read so many negative reviews about those that I wouldn't buy one. Considering how frequently I refill the tank, using distilled water would be prohibitive cost-wise and lugging that much distilled water from the store is not an option. Very frustrating.
Defective Item, Terrible Company -- 2010-02-08
If this humidifier is working, it works well. However, that is a big "if". My machine spontaneously stopped working--it just would not turn on one day. Upon speaking with Air-O-Swiss, I learned that this was a common problem. To make matters worse, Air-O-Swiss's repair service is just awful! It took them over a month to fix my machine. Further, they provide inaccurate information--they claim they will send back a repaired or new humidifier w/in 10 business days of receipt of the broken one; they failed to do so. They also claim that when the humidifier is returned, the package will not require a signature; it does. Stay away from this terrible company and its defective products!
