Vicks 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Vicks 1.5 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this recently and set it up right away. The high setting is loud for sensitive sleepers but if you need white noise to fall asleep the humidifier can double as a sleep machine. It puts out a nice cool mist on both high and low. PROS: It has a nice design -- It is a solid performer -- It is easy to fill CONS: The tank and the wick cover sometimes are easily disturbed -- it is a little clunky -- the grill on the fan cover disperses the mist mainly in one direction when it looks as if it would be omni-directional. FINAL THOUGHTS: I recommend it highly but wish the wick was cheaper to replace (around 5 bucks 2 times a year) but considering the other ones on the market it is still a good buy.

This is the most quiet humidifier i've ever had. It holds quite a bit and turns off if the tank is empty. We really LOVE this humidifier for our daughter's room.

Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier - V-5100-N Review

Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier - V-5100-N
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After reading several reviews of humidifiers that all gave mixed opinions I ignored all of them and picked up this humidifier at a local drug store for $32. This humidifier is small, approximately 11"Wx6"Dx13"H, making it suitable to put on the floor or on a counter. It consists of two main parts, a white plastic base and a clear blue plastic container. The base has two sliding switches. One turns the unit on/off and the other adjusts the amount of water vapor being released in to the air. The blue container sits on top of the base and has a handle on top and a round screw-on part on the bottom to fill the container. It also comes with a filter that goes in the base. There is a round piece on top of the container that turns to adjust and direct the stream of water vapor. Pros: 1. In my opinion it is quiet, much quieter than the Bemis wicking humidifier I previously had. The sound level is comparable to a table top fan. It does make water noises though which I find soothing but could be an annoyance. 2. It runs for a long time without refilling. On the lowest setting 1 container full of water will last a couple days of continous run time. On the highest setting, it needs to be refilled once a day. 3. It has no wick, which would start to smell in the old humidifier I had. 4. No chemicals need to be added to keep scum from growing in it. 5. You can see the water vapor being released in to the air (so you know its working). 6. See through container. You don't have to open anything to see how much water is left. 7. Container fits in kitchen sink to be refilled. 8. Relatively easy to clean. Cons: 1. It has no automatic shut off when the water runs out or when the air has reached the desired humidity. 2. When the container is picked up to be refilled it drips so you need a towel with you. When the unit is running, the water empties out of the container into the base where it is turned into water vapor. So when you remove the container the base is still full of water. 3. It needs to be cleaned regularly, once a week at least unless you don't mind the scum that grows on it. The base has corners that you need a Q-tip to clean. It is recommended that it be cleaned with a damp cloth and a bleach and water solution and then rinsed well. We have extremely soft water so I don't know how long the filter that comes with the humidifier will last or how well it works in places with hard water. I would recommend this humidifier.

Crane Demineralization Filter Cartridge for Crane Frog, Cow, Pig, Panda, Penguin and Elephant Cool Mist Humidifiers Review

My advice is to keep the original cap in case you decide this filter is not for you.
It managed to stop mineral deposits from building up further on the side of the resevoir, but the water gained a musty smell after a 15 gallons/three weeks of use. I sanitize with chlorinated water bi-weekly.
It was especially apparent in warm heated rooms. The risk of bacterial growth outweighs the benefits of the filter for me and I do not recommend this product.

Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've been very happy with this humidifier. The cool mist is very fine, so it feels more "misty" and less "damp" or "rainy" than some other humidifiers we've tried. The controls over how much or little mist it produces are effective, and it's very quiet. Although this product is a little more expensive than some other types of humidifiers, it's worth it. I know several people whose babies have been burned by warm mist humdifiers, and they also tend to breed bacteria, neither of which is a concern with this product. Also although we originally bought a cheaper humidifier, it turned out not to be as inexpensive as we first thought because we kept having to replace the wick and it quickly broke. This humidifier doesn't have "hidden costs" and is sturdy and well made.
Also if you take off the lid and watch what it does to produce the mist, it's really cool (not a reason to buy the product in itself, but interesting ....)

Crane Licensed Filter Cartridge Review

Crane Licensed Filter Cartridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have the "Hello Kitty" humidifier and I bought this filter in the hopes of reducing the white dust from the humidifier, but all that ended up happening was that the water in the humidifier turned a dingy yellow-brown color and my daughter's room FILLED with white dust. We had to open the windows and turn on the attic fan just to clear it all out. I'm not sure why this happened. I followed the directions on the box (although it's 100% fool proof, all you have to do is place the filter in the base of the unit). We're actually better off without a filter and I'll be returning this for a refund.

The first few weeks of having this humidifier was EXCELLENT!! I really enjoyed it. After about a month and a half, I turned on the humidifier as I normally do at night, and the ODOR was breath-taking FOUL!!! The filter on this thing traps odors or rather mildews from the water passing through. It was so bad that I had to air out my room and super clean the filter!! This only lasted like ONE day. The odor was subsided after I had cleaned the filter, but the next night it crept it's way back through...although not as strong, but I could smell it at the onset of turning on the humidifier. Too bad I had it too long to take back!!! My suggestion is, if you want to clean/change filters on the regular, then this is the humidifier for you! Other than that, LEAVE IT ON THE SHELF!!!

Crane Nursery Ultrasonic Humidifier - Blue Review

Crane Nursery Ultrasonic Humidifier - Blue
Average Reviews:

I purchased this for my baby's room and because winters are extremely dry in Colorado. It is a lot bigger than I thought - that's not a bad thing. It is extremely easy to use... just fill up and push the on button. The instructions are very simple. One thing I like about it is that it is ultrasonic (it uses a metal diaphragm vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency to create water droplets. It is not loud, and also produces a cool fog.). No extensive cleaning needed, no adding bleach to the water, etc. It does the job great. There is one little thing that bothers me... the on light is green (it turns red if it runs out of water) and it is very bright at night. I like my room to be dark and this tiny light really lights up a room. I did cover it up with some electrical tape and now it doesn't bother me. Other than the light (which was an easy fix), I love this humidifier.

Based on the picture I thought I was buying a Bemis product, but that is not what I received. I received a knockoff humidifier filter by a company called RPS Products BestAir. It may fit, haven't tried it yet, but I'm disgusted that they imply this is a Bemis product and it is not. Won't buy from them again.

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 910 Whole House Console Humidifier Review

Bemis/Essick Air ED11 910 Whole House Console Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this unit for several years. It has outlasted all "Sears" brands and models.
Secrets to making it work: I use the 1041 wicks. Every two weeks or so, I take it into the bathroom, pull out the wick and using a hand held shower, spray off the wick thoroughly. This helps lower the mineral build-up and the wick lasts longer. Also I change wicks about every two months. So I need about three for the heating season.
Yes the electronic "humidistat" doesn't work. Simple, I set the unit to a higher humidity than what is displayed. When I want to run it, I turn the unit on. When I want it off, I turn it off. And I use a separate humidity gauge. This one works wonderfully:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F0RBI8/
Taylor 1523 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer
As for noise, I only run it on the 2, 3 or 4 level. Yes, you can crank it up, but just like any fan, the more you crank it the louder it gets... and I can hear the TV just fine even when this is running...
It's much easier to carry a bucket of water to this unit to fill it up than clumsy bottles to drag out and carry elsewhere.
GREAT humidifier and I've had this one for several years and if I need another one, I'll hope to get another one of these.
Here's another hint. Don't mount it on the wheels that come with and then put the entire unit on a towel or carpeting scrap. Also helps if you spill a bit of water when filling.
Do NOT forget the bacteriastat either, but be careful when using this additive, as always. And yes, it is normal for the wick itself to be about half dry (at the top) and half wet (at the bottom). The entire wick does NOT need to be saturated soaking wet for this to work as the "well" of water is only the few inches at the bottom...

What a horrible product! I thought that some of the negative reviews could have been a bad batch of filters. Well, that wasn't the case. I used the filter in the humidifier, rinsed it out before use, and in the morning, the water turned brown. It was awful. Not only was the water brown in the bottom of the humidifier, but the mist was brown too (saw the droplets on the stand). Don't even bother with this product. AWFUL!

Mini Office Ultrasonic Humidifier Review

Average Reviews:

Ordered 2 of these humidifiers because I already have 2 and wanted to add the new ones in the house. I rec'd them quickly from one of Amazon's vendors. However, one of the humidifiers was defective (the knob wouldn't turn more than 1/4 of the way, so no mist!!). I emailed the vendor & he gave me a hard time about returning for a replacement. Finally after a week of emails and telling him I filed a complaint to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, he agreed to replace it. Despite all that, I recommend these humidifiers for home or work. I use one at work all day & one in my bedroom at night - love them! Very quiet humidifiers!!! My breathing is better, the air is cool & refreshing. I add fresh cold water every morning. Just keep them clean - wash them once a week with a little bleach & hot water to keep any mold in check. I also add a couple drops of Sweet Orange aromatherapy in the tank (doesn't clog) & it scents my cubicle at work, and my bedroom at night. Highly recommended.

Enviracaire Replacement Humidifier Pad Review

These mineral absorbtion pads really work. Our area in west Texas has water that is very heavy with minerals. These pads really help remove the mineral by absorbing particulates before they stick to the hot surface in the humidifier. Without the pads, we would have to clean the humidifier much more often and it would be more difficult.

Average Reviews:

Bulb needs replacement after @ 2000 hours of use. The bulb needs to be the one designed for the Slant/Fin humidifier, not any old UV bulb. It has a small bead of metal (? mercury) in the bulb that acts as an activator. Once replaced, the small yellow light goes out on the humidifier indicating that it is working. So far, it is working well. The problem is finding it on the internet. Prices range from $13.00 to $24.00

I have used it all this winter and it did the trick. My wife was suffering from nose bleeds and cracked skin before we bought this and now she is fine. It holds enough water to only need changed about every other day. The lights that tell you when the resivour needs changed can be seen from across the room. I run mine at the lowest fan speed and it is like it isn't there when the TV is on. With the room quiet you know its there but it isn't annoying. I was dissapointed with the airfilter. It looks like one on a furnace and is loosley attached to the back. It's deffinitly not HEPA quality if thats what your looking for.
