Warm Mist Humidifier




We bought this from Home Depot, same price as Amazon. It is much more quiet. Good misting output. BUT, even though this web site says it is operational for 8 hours, on the product's box, it represents 7 hours AND, when in continual use, it lasts only about 5 1/2 hours. Not very practical.
They're pretty good humidifier. One gallon tank will last you a bit more than 8 hours run time at low setting. Set it on high and you're down to 6 hours max. No Fan, super quiet operation. Will keep an your room at 85% humidity or above creating mildew and fog your window glass.
Place it under/above or closer to your heater vent or source of wind so the steam will be evenly distribute to the whole room. Otherwise, you'll start seeing mildew dropping from your ceiling even at low setting.
Cleaning is fairly easy. I highly recomended using only filtered water, use tap water and you'll find an excessive chlorine build up around the boiler after a few usage. It will be almost impossible to scrape the chlorine off.
I sometimes wish we had a cool air one, however, because this one gets the room pretty warm. In the winter, we have the house heater on, and this humidifier brings the heat up even further. We have to turn the heat down and be a little chilly in the rest of the house so that our son's room doesn't get too warm when we're running this.
heating element failed
bad warranty, you must mail back the cord and the water tank cap in a mail bag,
along with a $25.00 check (supposedly to pay for shipping)
I only paid $39.00 for it to begin with, with free shipping !
Instead I threw it out and bought a different brand
Once a week or so I clean with a white vinegar & water solution. Parts come apart, and equally as important come back together, easily so the weekly cleaning takes no longer than 15-20 minutes to do a very thorough job.
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality product at a decent price. I wasted some money on cheap-o models but found them to be unreliable & hard to clean...wish I had coughed up the few extra bucks and bough this unit from the get-go.
1. It is very noisy, so much so that it would keep me awake. Also, there is a very bright blue light that is also quite annoying when trying to sleep. So, since I bought this to help me get a better night's rest via humidity, the light and noise just made the product not worth it. I am known to be a very heavy sleeper and the noise and light kept me tossing and turning. I propped a towel over the blue light which helped but did not resolve the issue.
2. Also, the mineral buildup gets quite icky and gross. There are other humidifiers out there that come with filters that keep it clean and safe to use for an entire season, while this one does not. There are instructions for daily and weekly cleanup which I did. So, I had no problems with mold or slime but again, with the machine I use now, there is no need for that inconvenience because of the provided filter which also gets rid of the mineral buildup. I know there are filter options for this device, but they must be purchased separately.
3. The product is simply not well-made. The parts are quite flimsy and inconvenient to assemble. It is not a secure snug fit, but rather the black top piece (the area with the vents or slots in the picture), merely sits on top of the base with a precariously small and not easily managed black tab that is supposed to fit in an area to help keep the part fixed there. The tab is way too small to be useful, it is totally annoying to try to fit in the slot, and once when I was struggling to fit the tab where it goes it broke. I had not had the machine more than a week. And because of the daily cleaning that is necessary you have to keep removing the part to let it dry entirely, so the annoyance was unavoidable. Also, the part that holds water cracked. I was filling it up with water in my bathroom and because it was wet it slipped from my hands, fell just like 2 1/2 feet and it totally cracked in many places. After that the item was unusable as it could not hold water. Yes, I dropped the tank, however, most rooms where there is a sink you are not going to have carpeted floors and so in the event that it does slip from your hands and fall a short way, it is not made of strong enough material to withstand such a likely accident. It would be nice if it had a handle which could have prevented the accident.
I now have the SPT SU-4010 Ultrasonic Dual-Mist Warm/Cool Humidifier with Ion Exchange Filter and it works MUCH better. It is virtually soundless with no annoying lights. There is a small light on the dial but it is not strong enough to interrupt sleep. It has a filter which negates daily or even weekly cleaning, and it has no mineral buildup. The filter lasts 6 months before needing to be replaced. The parts are a lot more sturdy and fit snugly together so daily assembly after refilling is quite easy. Also, there is a handle which will help prevent dropping the item.
Honestly, I really love this. On a one setting, it does the trick. The gallon of water lasts the whole night and allows us to breathe normally. My husband has allergies, and my skin dries out really quickly. This is helping us through the dry, desert months.
Just make sure you have a good surface to put this! That was the hardest thing for us to find - and we ended up inventing our own. It has to be more towards the middle of the room, away from electronics and things that can be damaged by water.
It was so dry in my apartment that I snored incredibly loudly and finally I got a Humidifier to help with the issue and this did the trick.
The humidifier is super easy to use and pretty light when there's no water in it so it's nice to move between your rooms.
My only real issue with the humidifier is that I wish it had a medium setting. On high it empties in about 4 hours (so it doesn't last all night) and make my windows super foggy but on low it lasts like 12 hours and I don't feel like there's quite enough humidity in the air.
Like all humidifiers, water deposits a lot of stuff of the inside mechanics of this, but buy yourself a giant bottle of cheap vinegar and you are solid. Pour vinegar and warm water in the mechanics of this thing once every two weeks and it's like new. All the pieces also come apart from the front part (what's behind the knob) really easily and slide back into place so you can also soak each piece separately in a vinegar/water solution!
Silent & easy to fill. I suggest you put it on a tray . We've occasionally noticed a little water under it. Not sure where it is coming from. Possibly not tightening the filler cap well.
Disassembles easily for cleaning.
CAUTION_ Use both hands when carrying tank. It will not withstand being dropped. Filler cap does not need to be tightened as tight as you can. Just snug firmly.
Will buy another for upstairs.
It's nice and quite, can't hear it running.
this appliance works very well, using regular tap water, and is extremely quiet. slight drawback is the luminous dial,which
is very bright. However many users would be pleased as the dial provides enough light to serve as a night light in a bedroom.
