Customer Reviews
The animals love it! -- 2010-08-31
This humidifier is actually being used at a local animal shelter in one of their isolation rooms. The cats in that room are all sick. It helps them breath better & it seems they are getting better just a little faster.
Humidifier does the job. -- 2010-06-13
This is an excellent humidifier. It has one added advantage - two smaller than usual reservoirs make it easier to refill for those of us who are getting more seasoned - older that is.
Loved the product! -- 2010-05-22
The product is as described. It puts out quite a bit of steam which I need living in Las Vegas because it is so dry here. It helps my breathing and gives my skin moisture. It's a great product. I love the two tanks and the ease of use.
No problems -- 2010-05-13
Last month I purchased another unit that ran out of water in the middle of the night. This one does NOT have that problem. Even on the highest setting it's running about a day and a half! Beautiful.
The 'on' light is way too bright but a piece of black tape fixed that. You can't see any light from the germ light (that's good). It does it's germ killing on the water before it hits the hot plate. I'm not sure how needed this is considering it's generating steam but 'perhaps' (I don't really know) it may reduce the gunk amount in the cleanup. It came with 3 mineral pads that simply lay on a hot plate (use just 1 pad). Note they are the 'small' round pads. I see two sizes on Amazon.
No other light comes from the unit. Gurgling isn't as bad as some other units I've tried but there is no way around a bit of gurgling.
The TWO water side tanks can both be filled or just one. Lifting one tank off the unit while the other is full causes NO problems, water doesn't gush out. It is big so check the size.
The only 'cons' are the way too bright on light (easy fix, tape) and when empty the plastic tanks can easily fall while moving the unit. They don't 'lock' in place and are quite light when empty.
I haven't tried a lower steam setting but there is a constantly variable control for steam (not just low and high).
So far I love the unit and I let it run all night!
Uses alot of electricity -- 2010-04-16
I could not understand why my electric bill was as high this winter as they were during last summer when I used my central A/C. When I unplugged the humidifier, my bill dropped right back in line. It costs about $40-$50 a month to run it here on Cape Cod.
