Honeywell H12014 Replacement Filter for Dirt Devil F27 HEPA Media Filter Set

Honeywell H12014 Replacement Filter for Dirt Devil F27 HEPA Media Filter SetFits my vacuum, but DID NOT include the square sponge filter that fits in the comb filter. The other filters bought actually came with the sqaure filter, and your filters came loose in a bag without the missing part mentioned. They didn't come in a Honeywell package and I'm dissapointed with this purchase.

This filter is great and has a better looking construction than the original, I definitely recommend purchasing.

Mini USB Humidifier and Aromatherapy Diffuser / White and Blue Aroma Diffuser - 250ML Water Contain

Mini USB Humidifier and Aromatherapy Diffuser / White and Blue Aroma Diffuser - 250ML Water Container CapacityNot really a humidifer at all. Yes it's a diffuser but it does not humidify the air, which is it's first claim to fame and the reason I bought it. Water sits in a well with a sponge and a fan blows the water that soaks up into the sponge. Had I known this and that it was shipping directly from China, I would have ordered from another on-line place, where it was much cheaper. Don't buy if you want a humidifer.

Cigar Oasis XL

Cigar Oasis XLAbsolutely perfect for west tx!! No other product can beat this one for a humidor w 75 to 100 sticks!

I've only had the privilege of owning the humidifier for about a month but so far I have to admit that this is a very efficient humidifier.

Best one I have ever found to keep my cigars at the proper humidity.

If you are running on battery power I suggest using Energizer Ultimate Lithiums and fill the tank with distilled water prior to assembling the unit.

Buy Cigar Oasis XL Now

I recently got a great new humidor for my cigars and I live in Colorado. It's almost impossible to keep the humidity up so I've been known to use a shot glass full of distilled water, drymistat tubes and several other options (all at the same time) to try and keep it up. The idea of an automatic humidifier appealed to me, but I didn't like the aesthetics of using a plug-in one and snaking the cable on the wall.

The Cigar Oasis appealed to me because it comes with both a battery pack and a power cord (with a small ribbon cable that can fit between the hings on your humidor).

I put new batteries in, set it to 70 and let it sit in my humidor for a week. My hygrometer in my humidor never went above 60, even tho the Cigar Oasis said it was 80%. I contacted support and they said it was set to 70% at the factory and that I should try it plugged in but that if I was confident in my hygrometer reading it included instructions for how to recalibrate it. I did that and messed with it daily for the next week or so and it never really helped.

2 weeks in it ran out of water (supposed to last at least 3 months). I refilled it with distilled water and the next day the batteries died (supposed to last 3-6 months).

I finally gave up and plugged it in. A couple days later it seems to be running perfectly, altho I now need to recalibrate it again. I hate the look of the plug, but what are you going to do?

So, end result, it works great plugged in. On batteries it sucks power and never quite works right.

Honeywell H14008 Replacement Filter for Eureka DCF- 3 Filter

Honeywell H14008 Replacement Filter for Eureka DCF- 3 FilterThe main body of this filter is about 1/16-1/8" taller than the original, as is the loop/handle on the top. All of this makes it difficult to screw the lid back on the canister. I thought I'd have to return the filter, but figured out that if you rotate the filter, you'll eventually find a 'sweet spot' that will let you slide the lid back into place (though it's still a difficult to close).

I have to say I'm surprised by the ill-fit. I'm fairly certain that my last filter was also a Honeywell replacement (but one purchased at Target), and it fit just like the original Eureka filter. Perhaps the manufacturing process isn't precise... In any case, I would look for a different replacement.

Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV light

Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier with TiO2 and UV lightI am currently using this in an apartment sized bathroom. The bathroom has no ventilation or even AC so all the moisture just sits in there. It always smelled dank and musty in there, no matter what cleaning products I would use or deodorizers I'd setup in there. Within 24 hours of setting this little guy up(Sits on my bathroom sink countertop.) The smell was gone and it already had well over a cup of water in the tank. It also comes with a thin clear drain hose that allows it to run continuously without having to empty the tank. It has been running for about 2 months now without a single problem.

I only can see a few issues with this device.

1. To me it is loud. Very loud. While this isn't a problem for me due to where it is at, if you are looking to put this somewhere where you need or want quiet like a bedroom, I'd try to find something else. preferably fan-less if possible. (I can drown it out very easily with all the entertainment electronics I run throughout the apartment, but I could imagine it being a problem for someone trying to sleep with this thing running in the same room.

2. I don't care for the tank design. The one time I tried to empty the tank I spilled a good amount of the water into the machine just trying to pull the tank out. So I'd same make sure it's unplugged before emptying the tank. Also the hose comes off easily when I move the unit around which leads to another problem I have with the design. The hose connects to the very top of the tank, meaning the tank has to be full before it starts to drain through the hose. I can see why they did it this way but I would have preferred an option to go without a tank at all.

Of course they are just minor gripes to me. The product does its job well and I have yet to find anything else even close price-wise that can compete.

I purchased this baby for a small, humid bedroom in a very humid climate to help the A/C unit remove moisture. It removes maybe a cup a day which probably helps overall, but does not make a tremendous difference in comfort level. It works steadily, but is probably too small for the task.

UPDATE: After a few months on effort, it began to make a loud, constant noise so I discontinued use.

UPDATE #2: Last summer was so hot and humid that I decided to give this unit one more chance. It takes a little finessing, but it is possible to stop the noise if you keep jiggling and thumping it. Once it runs quietly for a minute or two, it is usually good to go until you turn it off to empty the reservoir.

I purchased this mini dehumidifier after my "Eva-Dry" lasted less than a year. It was great for the short time I had it (3 months!) Yesterday the motor started a loud rumble and sounds as if it is about to grind itself to a halt.

This is my last dehumidifier purchase. Sunpentown Mini Dehumidifier is a waste of money.

Since American corporations insist on having their products "manufactured" in Chinaappliances seldom last a year. I refuse to keep buying inferior products over and over again.

Now I shop for products that are physically made In the US, or Germany.

I bought this dehumidifier for a 200feet square college room. It sucks out nothing, takes at least a week of non stop air-sucking before it fills up with water. Completely useless and ridiculous! Instead we bout a 50pint dehumidifier which is only two times the price and it divided by two the humidity in less than a day. It took out more water in 5h than the Sunpentown in one week.

I purchased this piece of garbage from Discounts Jungle. With a 1-yr warranty, I thought "Great!" It stopped working after 6 months and when I contacted the seller today, they said "Too bad. We only give you 30 days. Contact the manufacturer." I contacted Sunpentown, the manufacturer, and they said "Discounts Jungle and Amazon.com are selling USED items and we won't honor the warranty..." So if you want cheap stuff that doesn't work, buy from Discounts Jungle and Sunpentown and Amazon.

Since the site says "Shipped and sold by Amazon.com," I expected Amazon to step up. Wrong. I got a $60 credit but that's all.

If I could give it a LESS than one star rating, I would. I DO give Discounts Jungle and Sunpentown a negative 10 rating for selling inferior products and not standing behind their stated warranty.

I am really, REALLY disappointed in Amazon. I have never had a problem with Amazon before but this will make me think twice about buying from them again.

As another reviewer has mentioned, these wicks arrived in clear plastic bag inside a blank cardboard box. I have no way to tell if they are what the seller claimed them to be.

I will say that these ones did not last nearly as long as the wicks I used before. They do not have the metallic strip running through the middle like the previous wicks had. They collected dust much faster and had dark patches which looked like mold after a few nights of use.

Still, they fit my Duracraft DH-830 humidifier and they did work for a while.

Black & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier, BXHU090

Black & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier, BXHU090Humidifiers can be the answer for a good nights winter sleep. The Black & Decker Ultrasonic Humidifier is easy to use and has an attractive design, but it is limited to smaller rooms. Another interesting feature is that this humidifier has a built in LED night light (which can be turned on or off).

Notes-

Two settings although I can't tell too much of a difference between the two

I do like the built in night light it is a small LED light, but it provides a fair amount of light... and it looks pretty cool through the water

It really is designed for a small room I would guess it is limited to about a 120sq ft

I wish that the reservoir was larger since it only holds about 8 hours of water (measured in run time).

It does have a bit of a high pitch hum some people may find it to be annoying.

No filter needed

Final Verdict I like the Black & Decker Ultrasonic Humidifier, but it does have a few areas for improvement. I wish it was a little larger and had the ability to be used in bigger rooms. However, with its built night light the Back & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier is perfect for a child's room.

3 1/2 Stars

We use a few humidifiers in our house, and this one has the smallest footprint, looks the best, and is the most quiet. It is in our family room, and you would hardly now that it is there. It is a little smaller, so one tank will last about 12 hours when the humidifier is on high. It pus out a nice, steady flow of moisture. It looks contemporary and fits on the top of our low bookshelf without being obvious. No complaints at all.

Buy Black & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier, BXHU090 Now

The Black & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier performed as expected. There is only one button on the humidifier that controls three different functions so turning off from the lowest setting takes several pushes of the button. A separate night light control would be a better solution. The humidifier is small so don't expect to use it in a large or even medium sized room with decent results, though the output on the high setting is more than I was expecting.

Black & Decker Table Top Ultrasonic Humidifier, BXHU090

I recently got a much larger Vornado 1.8 Gal. Evap3 Evaporative Vortex Humidifier fan driven humidifier for the master bedroom. I thought this one might work well in the smaller bedroom, it does. This is an ultrasonic device meaning unlike the Vornado you don't have a fan and you actually see the steam. It is quieter than the Vornado on that one's higher speeds but on low on the Vornado the two are equally quiet. This one can run at the higher speed with no noticeable noise increase. At the low speed you get about eight hours of use on the loaded water tank. About half or so less on high speed.

It's a bit messy to refill the tank. I still can't do it without getting wet. You need to take the tank to a faucet turn it over remove the screw cap and fill it with water. Since the top comes to a point with the directional thingy, it's a balancing act and water gets to places other than inside the tank. The Vornado has a larger flat bottom tank so it's a neater job. This B&D is less than half the price and doesn't use consumable filters. They include a long brush to wipe the vaporizer. You do need to periodically rinse the tank with a vinegar mixture. Overall it's low maintenance for such a product.

The noise level is very low but some may not want it right near your head on your bed. It does make a slight buzzing like sound. There is also a night light. The main switch cycles through the two speeds and light on or off. I think it does a good job for a small bedroom and may fit your needs at a reasonable price.

I bought this humidifier for my office to help with my asthma and it works perfect for a small room. I run it all day on the highest setting and usually have to refill it only once towards the end of the day. Its small and quiet enough to fit on my desk, one of my co-workers noticed it and bought one too and mentioned having a few problems with hers but I haven't had any issues with it. Since it sits my desk surrounded by paper I'm careful that the reservoir sits flush on the base and don't overfill the tank, I've have had no problems with it leaking, I'm happy enough with the unit and the price that I'm ordering a couple more of these for home.

White-Rodgers 21D83M-843 Integrated Fan Control Board OEM Replacement Kit (Lennox Surelight 83M00)

White-Rodgers 21D83M-843 Integrated Fan Control Board OEM Replacement KitMy furnace was having an issue starting during the inducer sequence. I was able to tap on one of the relays to get the inducer motor to run. I determined the board was bad. Apparently my previous board (lb 109531a) is obsolete and this is the replacement. I looked into the white Rogers 50a65-843, which probably would have worked but seemed cheap. This board is almost an exact replacement thus very easy to install. It is a little larger but all the wire placement is exactly the same, except the flame sensor which goes in the middle of the new board. The wiring schematic and led error codes are exactly the same. Wish it were a little cheaper, but overall I'm satisfied.

DeLonghi DDSE30 Energy Star 30-Pint Portable Dehumidifier

DeLonghi DDSE30 Energy Star 30-Pint Portable DehumidifierHello, this dehumidifier draws 3.8 amps of electricity and has an energy factor of 1.52 liters per kilowatt hour (that rating is liters not pints). If you go to the energy star EPA sight you can access a list of the energy factors for all dehumidifiers. The higher pint humidifiers basically tend to be rated the most efficent but brands and individual models vary. Having said that this one is rated better than most of the 30 pint size units and that will definetly save money on the electric bill. I don't mind this little unit running as much as I would a large one belting out alot of heat. I have mine set so that when it reaches 45% it completely shuts off. It will check the humidity from time to time by running just the fan briefly and if over 45%, it will turn on the compressor and run. This unit has no trouble controlling the humidity in my unfinished 900 square foot cinder block and bare cement floor basement. There is a button on it that will display the actual humidity and temperature that is currently in the room. The controls work very well and I used a piece of 5/8 inch OD x 1/2 inch ID clear vinyl hose from Home Depot pushed on the barbed adapter that came with the unit. You can also use a garden hose if that works better for you. It sends all of the water to my basement's sump pump. Set it and forget it. It comes with rubber feet that you can use or remove and install the supplied casters. If the power goes out it will restart later at it's last setting. It has a washable air filter and takes all of it's air in the front and expels the dry air out of the top. No regrets, very happy with it...would buy again. Updated: 12/2012, I bought a second one to put in my mother's basement. Updated: 6/12/13 my mother said the dehumidifier works great! She had water get into her basement and wet the whole floor. When she went to the basement the next day, the dehumidifier had dryed it up completely.

Reasons for dehumidifier: Live near the water, too much moisture = damp room/mold spores

Pros:

It collects water

Noise level is manageable to my ears (I personally think all dehumidifiers are "noisy". However, this was easy for my ears to adjust to).

It's basically a 2 in 1 (I didn't realize that this is also an air purifier)

it's designed really nice

There is a screen that allows you to see how much water you collected

Cons:

it's kind of hard to see if water has been collected bc the screen is too dim/dark. So, I just take a flashlight which helps me see or I move the dehumidifier a little bit to hear water (should have made that part with a light switch so you can tell lol)

Outcome:

I am really happy with my purchase so far. It is an energy star product but we will see how much it truly saved me in my upcoming bill! I was very hesitant to purchase this item bc I didn't see too many reviews; I was unsure if it would collect enough water. But, glad I risked forking over the cash for this bad boy! The service was also really quick and efficient!

---------------------------

update: I finally received my pg&e bill and was pleased to say that it IS an energy saver! I use the dehumidifier everyday!

Pros:

I use both the dehumidifier and air purifier (the dehumidifier makes the room warmer, the air purifier feels crisp)

The timer is awesome.

It can roll it to the next room or pick it up (it is a heavy product but not unmanageable) and I am a 105 pd human, haha.

It collects the moisture.

Cons:

... can't think of any, anymore. If you push the dehumidifer just a little, you will be able to see if you've collected water or hear it!

I am just so happy with this purchase! By far the best investment yet because I have yet to see mold in my room (which was the purpose of my purchase) and the shipping was fantastic. No trouble, "yet" (I always expect the worst!). Very satisfied with this company and purchase.

Buy DeLonghi DDSE30 Energy Star 30-Pint Portable Dehumidifier Now

I bought this dehumidifier to keep in my master bathroom to take out humidity from warm showers. I had bought the soleus air 25 pint and this one is better. I like that it has a handle on the water bucket and more features (such as hygrometer, temp, etc), not to mention that it is 30 pint vs. 25 pint. It is not as slick as the soleus air but I have found it does a better job. The air intake is from the front and air comes out the top. the soleus intake is from the back and out the side, which is a bit cumbersome because it needs clearance from the wall for the air intake.

All in all I am happy with this dehumidifier. I will be buying another one to keep downstairs and run during periods when it is cool yet humid outside and the AC system does not run as often.

I bought 2 dehumidifiers (different brands) before this that I had to return. 1st one broke after 3 days. Second one would not work in temperatures below 64 degrees. This one works in a pump house for our community well where is stays around 46 degrees during the winter. It has been working flawlessly for over a month. With no floor drain in our below ground pump house, I've opted to put in a 5 gallon external tank to capture the water, via the continuous draining feature. Being only a 35 sq foot floor space (around 250 cubic feet of area), I only have to empty the container every 2-3 weeks. This is keeping the electric circuit panels and relays very happy.

This has been working steadily so far I turn it on a few hours a day and crank at least 1/2 the tank (I have no idea how big the tank actually is, but it's a fair amount of water for a short time period). Only bummer is the manual is not great and this model is not on the delonghi website and their customer service has been less than stellar. I broke off part of the float thinking it was packaging since it was not labeled so heads up!

This is what some people might consider "loud" but I think that's how dehumidifiers are... small price to pay for keeping the mold away!

Toast Living - Aquarius Aroma Genie Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser

Toast Living - Aquarius Aroma Genie Ultrasonic Aromatherapy DiffuserReally easy to set up and I like how it doesn't require much maintenance; just replace the cup with a clean one when it gets dirty. Smells great and looks nice in the living room. We keep ours on an end table but you could put it on a mantle, coffee table, bookshelf, wherever really. Would make a great gift.

I really love this diffuser and highly recommend it, beautiful design, very high quality and easy to maintain. In addition to its beautiful design, I found the essential oil does smell much better when put it in the Aroma Genie Aquarius, compared with Hubmar's diffusers which i purchased before. I guess this is because this diffuser use a higher vibration ultrasonic frequency to break the essential oil to very fine molecule, that's why. My aromatherapy teacher also have Aroma Genie Aquarius diffuser, she also found this diffuser does make the essential oil smell much better and beautiful than other brands' diffuser.

This is my first diffuser and I love it. Using a replaceable plastic cup for water and oil is a really good idea (and it comes with 5 more spare cups). I still don't know if it has an auto-stop function or not, and the English in the instruction booklet is funny, but it is working very well. I just hope it will last for a long time.

I'm loving this. When I clean my kids' rooms, I take it in there with me to freshen it up while I pick up. If they weren't so expensive, I'd have one in every room!

Optimus U-33015 2.0 Gallon Output Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier

Optimus U-33015 2.0 Gallon Output Cool Mist Evaporative HumidifierI just bought this 2 gallon Optimus after my last slant fin humidifyer had issues, and I was not real successful looking for the parts. SO far I love the quietness and no light.

I max it out in the bedroom at night, so I have to fill daily, but it is light and easy rather pleasant! Make the bed, refill the Optimus. I'm on here now to buy the little filter sleeves, which I understand can be washed out but do wear out. I don't want to be caught without. I will mention my oversized Bionair which I use for the primary house is very noisy (IF you put it on high which i do unless it is time to relax) and the Bionaire also takes a long time to fill the two canisters (but lasts for weeks). I would not want it in the bedroom due to the noise and ugly dark grey this 2 gallon Optimus is perfect.

After all of the problems I read about with other designs, I love the simplicity of this one. There are no pumps, heating coils, shut off valves, or electronics to worry about. It is just a small fan pulling air across a wicking element. It needs to be refilled about once a day, but if you forget it just becomes a fan not a fire hazard. The fan and tank simply lift off, making cleaning easy.

Best of all, instead of heating the air it actually cools it slightly (it is basically a small swamp cooler). And because it passively humidifies it is self regulating, it will evaporate less as humidity increases. There will never be a wet area around it.

The only reason it doesn't earn 5 stars is price, call it 4 1/2. It is a small fan and 3 pieces of plastic, hardly justifying the $50 cost. The elements are cleanable, but do wear out and are $15.

Buy Optimus U-33015 2.0 Gallon Output Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier Now

Bought this item a month or so ago, and I like it well enough. It is a simple design that uses a replaceable "wicking" element Optimus U-30011 Humidifier Replacement Wick Filter for U-33015, 2-Pack underneath the fan to provide a large surface area to evaporate the water. Be aware that you will have to replace the wick every so often. Our water is quite hard, so we buy distilled water to use in the humidifier to extend the life of the wick, otherwise mineral deposits can build up on the wick rather quickly and it is not recommended to try and clean and re-use the wicks. The unit is not silent, but is actually very pleasantly quiet, and be aware that it "burbles" as it releases water from the tank into the unit every so often...I do not find it disturbing and can sleep with it near the bed. On "hi" fan speed it will go through a gallon of water (one tank full) in about 24 hours in our room...this of course will depend on your relative humidity (we live in Arizona, near Phoenix...so quite dry here...) One dislike about the unit is that you fill the tank from the bottom and the handle on top is not flat...thus to fill the tank you cannot set it on a flat surface and have it stay upright. I have kneel on the floor and balance the tank between my knees to pour water into the tank. Also, when placing the tank back into the unit, it fits snugly and it does not always slide right in...you have to finaggle it into place...which can be annoying but not difficult.

This humidifier is like a mini-evaporative cooler (i.e. fan pulls air through a wet, replaceable wick).

It is quiet even on high [fan] speed. For example, it is quieter than a typical computer fan.

So far, so good the only negative that I can see is that it periodically pulls a small amount of air into the tank. The small amount of air rises to the top in the form of bubbles, which make a little noise. It does not bother me, but for some it might.

BestAir L11-C Lasko N. Cascade Humidifier Filter

BestAir L11-C Lasko N. Cascade Humidifier FilterThe filters fit perfectly. They are slightly different than the original, in that they have an aluminum mesh on one side. I assume this is to help the filter keep it's shape, and is thus a good idea. Shipped pretty fast. I'm not sure what else to say. They're filters.

Hamilton Beach 05900 Humidifier Replacement Filter

Hamilton Beach 05900 Humidifier Replacement FilterLittle did I realize how much a Hamilton Beach humidifier would cost me more in consumables than the actual unit itself. I have three in the house, since I have forced air heat and live in a four-season region, and needed to humidify the sleeping rooms. Amazingly, the filters are hard to find, and even crazier to price reasonably. Not too many alternatives, and now I'm leery of buying replacement humidifiers on the chance that I'll end up in the same boat again with the newer model.

DAYTON 1UHG2 Dehumidifier Control,Plug In 120 VI am highly allergic to mold. After our home flooded 18 months ago, our house became a mold haven. Even after spending thousands of dollars on environmental cleanup, I feared we would have to move. But installing a commercial grade dehumidifier, equipped with MERV-7 filtration, has mercifully kept the mold at bay. The dehumidifier is controlled by a Dayton 1UHG2. The Dayton has been working well for almost a year now, keeping my basement at about 42% relative humidity (RH), year round.

I wish the Dayton had a bit more operating range. If I set it any lower, say 40%, the dehumidifier sometimes doesn't shut off, since the Dayton doesn't reliably trip at humidity that low. However, 42% is near the stated bottom limit of the Dayton's operating range (40-90% RH +-2%), so it is probably working within spec, and at 42% I am suffering minimal discomfort from mold activity, and my utility bill is more comfortable, too. I'm sure the Dayton has more than paid for itself in electricity savings over the past summer and that's good for the environment, too.

The Dayton is a pretty nice little unit for the price (manufactured in China, of course), but it is an outlet hog. When plugged into the top outlet of a standard double or four-way outlet, the Dayton's oversized case partly covers the lower outlet. Some heavy-duty AC plugs (washer, dryer, etc.) do not fit properly into the restricted space remaining--surprisingly poor case design.

The Dayton's single user control, a thumb-wheel, serves to set the on/off point for the room's relative humidity. When the user turns the thumb-wheel, the display automatically switches to "set" mode, showing the current on/off point. The wheel is rather tricky to work, as the display soon reverts to "Room RH" two seconds after the wheel is idle. It seems to me it would be much easier to set, if there was a button to press and hold, which would keep the display in "set" mode till the button is released. I would gladly pay a few dollars more for such a refinement.

The Dayton takes perhaps 2 hours or more for its electronics to settle and give accurate readings. This makes it practically impossible to set it correctly at once and forget it. I find it requires resetting several times to get the room to the desired RH. I also had to experiment to find the most reliable lowest setting. All of which makes this minimal interface annoying and awkward. But once set properly, I haven't had to monkey with it. I used to check it every day, but have grown to trust it. Now I check it only once in a while. The Dayton's RH readings are within 1 or 2 % of my dedicated electronic hygrometer, which suggests it is reasonably accurate.

The Dayton 1UHG2 has its limitations, but at present, it seems to have little competition at this price point. Better solutions--though few so convenient--may be available, but at much greater expense. Perhaps the next generation of this product will offer refinements, but for now, this is a welcome low cost solution for dehumidification control in smaller homes.

If you have a typical dehumidifier that either runs too much or too little this product is the solution. It has a very tight control range, only about +/2%, and it really works. I now set my dehumidifier to the full on position and plug it into the IUHG2 set at 50% relative humidity. It kicks on at about 52% and runs until it gets to about 48%. I no longer have the musty smell in my basement that I had when I relied on the dehumidifer's own controls. I attribute that to the more tightly controlled humidity range. I also like the fact that it provides a display of the actual relative humidity in the room. This a great product.

I use this with a Soleus dehumidifier and purchased it because the dehumidifier wuns ALL the time, which is not what I want. This unit came to the rescue. All you need to do is plug the unit into a wall socket and then the dehumdifier into the unit; set the humidity level to a low level (say 40% humidity) and wait a few minutes for the unit to warm up, then the dehumidifier starts. When the humidity drops to that level, the dehumdifier shuts off. I'm not sure what the internal high limit is, but it is not too close to the set point since it takes a while for the dehumidifier to turn back on. I use the system in my basement workshop, to keep my equipment from rusting....seems to work so far.

The only word of caution is that you need to make sure you select the correct model. The part #'s are close and the controls look identical, but the model for controlling a humdifier will not work for a dehumidifier. I've already made this mistake.

We own several properties and all of them have some water leakage into the basements. We of course have installed dehumidifiers with hoses connected directly to the floor drains. The problem we are finding is that the controllers on the dehumidifiers seem to last about a year then the units run constantly or begin cycling. We've tried several other seperate dehumidifier controlers with mixed results. This 1UHG2 is working perfectly and only allows the dehumidfiers to run when really required. Haven't owned the 1UHG2 for a year yet so, time will tell if it can stand up to the year failure standard. But for now they look promising.

We use these to control fans in the crawlspace to help keep it dry. We have a dehumidifier in the main part of the basement, but there are several crawlspaces where the air does not move much. These allow the fan to come on when the humidity goes high and circulate the air into the main area where the dehumidifier takes it out.

If you have moisture issues in your basement or crawlspace, you need one of these for each fan.

Honeywell H13001 Replacement Filter for Hoover Bagless Twin Chamber System HEPA Media

Honeywell H13001 Replacement Filter for Hoover Bagless Twin Chamber System HEPA MediaGot exactly what I wanted in less than three days for less than half of what I would have paid in store. Will buy this here from now on.

They do the job and last as long as the Hoover version. This is also a great price here compared to the brick and mortar stores. I do recommend them for your vac. But I do not recommend windtunnel vacs. These filters typically only last about a month or 2 for us and at this price that ads up. We do have 2 dogs but the dirt etc just seems to clog them up fast, and our house is not that dirty. The canister is dirty to clean out and the vac's belt breaks far too often.

HWF23 Humidifier Replacement Filters (2-PACK) for HM1250 / H23

HWF23 Humidifier Replacement Filters for HM1250 / H23Product is fine but as it turned out, shipping charge based upon weight was way to high. I deal with shipping charges daily and no way should it have cost as much as it did.

The filters are what they are, no problems there. Where I am disappointed is in the seller. The items arrived lose in a box, no packaging, wrapping, nothing but the packing slip. I felt a bit mislead by the description of it being a 2 pack (thought that might mean they were packaged). More than that, I'm disappointed in the shipping rate I was charged. They charged a flat fee of $6.95. When the box arrived, the postage was $2.19. Enough of a difference that the next time I am in the market for a replacement filter, I will be looking elsewhere.

This product is fine, but it is just a bit on the small side. It fits too loosely into the filter area but will do the job.

Purely Products IPWG Ionic Purifier Negative Ion Generator for Home and Office, Grey

Purely Products IPWG Ionic Purifier Negative Ion Generator for Home and Office, GreyDue to space issues in my tiny house, the only place to put my desktop computer is in my bedroom, so I was looking for something that would offset the positive ions from my 'puter. I ordered this negative ion generator from Amazon and have used it for a few weeks. When the room has been shut up for awhile and I enter it, the air does smell better. Other than that, I can't detect any difference. For a real improvement, I suppose I'll have to order one of the serious (and seriously expensive) air purifiers. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

  • Aroma Air Humidifier

This diffuser is not working as described. The material is NOT a sturdy plastic and I found that the color changing light is already giving me problems. I would NOT recommend it. I am using my old method that works the best. Don't waste your money.

I was very excited to use our new diffuser as we already had an assortment of essential oils.. the first day it worked like it was suppposed to, filling the house with wonderful aromas of citrus and herbs, it was very nice! Then it suddenly stopped working. I cleaned it out with alcohol and added fresh water and a few drops of oil again..it worked perfectly....then it stopped after a few minutes. Repeated this process a few more times and finally gave up. Find a different diffuser, this one is junk!

Love this little unit. Would love to see it come just a little bit bigger. It definitely out performs our old standard humidifier.
