Sungold Ultrasonic Ionizer Humidifier

We purchased this one because our neighbors recommended it. Living in Denver we don't have a lot of humidity. I love that this one does not only have the ionizer but you can also control the level of steam and humidity output. It is super quiet and with the large opening of the tank fairly easy to clean.

I just wish they also made a smaller version.

Ion Exchanger for SU-4010

PUREGUARDIAN FILTER FLTDC IS EXACT SAME FILTER FOR LOWER PRICE

AT WALMART.COM

I REALLY LIKE THE SUNPENTOWN BUT THE FILTER PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS!

The filter is a new design, but fit & works just as it is supposed to. I would purchase it again.

EUV-13B Enviracaire Germ Free Humidifier Bulb

This bulb arrived broken. Considering how much it cost you would think a bit more care could have been taken with it. If I do not receive a replacement bulb that works I will never order from this company again.

The company is reshipping another bulb free of charge.

I will update my review upon receiving a working bulb.

Unbelievable.

The replacement bulb was also broken.

NEVER ORDERING FROM AGAIN.

It must be good; it's still working. Not to expensive and I only plan on useing it for the winter season.

Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler

I purchased the Inhaler after reviewing other comparable devices on the Internet. What sold me was the price and the name brand.

I've been using it whenever my sinus is blocked and it does a great job. Very low maintenance and the cost (water + a bit of electricity) is close to nothing to what it uses.

The face mask (I'll call it that) fits me well but I usually keep my head a few inches away when the steam really starts to engage. I surely don't want to fry my nasal passages and it could easily do that if I continue to keep my face right up to the mask.

I know I could use those menthol pads but the cost is high even searching around on the internet for lower costs. What I did instead is purchase those pocket Vicks inhalers that is not only cheap but very effective too! I usually stop for 30 seconds between steam sessions and inhale through each nostril about three times and then continue on with 5-10 minute sessions doing this for 20 minutes or so. Works real well.

I think the device will last me years and years and the maintenance with white vinegar is also low cost!

I received my personal steamer today; it's compact, requires no assembly, is easy to use and the flow of steam is adjustable. The face mask is relatively comfortable and it was relaxing to inhale warm, moist air during the treatment. Cleaning instructions appear to be simple. As promised, sinus and chest congestion were loosened during the first treatment. I highly recommend this product.

This great little device is an essential for singers and speakers, especially those who suffer allergies. (Allergy sufferers who aren't singers or speakers would benefit too.) Steam is the number 1 treatment prescribed by my otolaryngologist when experiencing allergy, cold, or other respiratory/vocal symptoms. My personal steamer travels easily with me, tucked into the corner of a carry-on size suitcase. When you're on the road presenting or performing, it can be a life saver. Much better than a towel over your head and a pan of boiling water too (and safer). I recommend personal steamers to all my voice students. It's true, as another reviewer wrote, that you can buy this less expensively at your local WalMart or Target store, but even at this price, it's a winner.

It is an excellent product. It delivers a concentrated warm steam to the nose and sinus areas. The funnel is made of soft material and the unit is compact and can easily be stored almost anywhere. It would be easy to take along when traveling. The water heats up rapidly. It does cost about $10 more than facial saunas at Walgreens or Wal Mart but the features I mentioned above make it worth the extra money in my opinion.

This product really works to open nasal passages and relieve congestion.

Follow the instructions. Using it for a 5 minute session 3 times a day really did the trick. The first two days I got releif and could sleep all night but would still get congested. On the 3rd day the gates opens and the drainage was terrific. I am getting one for my grown son that has allergies worse than I do .

GE 50 Pint White Dehumidifier - ADEH50LP

For 3-4 months these units work great.

BUT THEN even with extremely careful use in a climate controlled, unfinished basement...

I owned THREE of the previous model with the exact same features and specifications (except the Energy Efficiency Rating was a bit higher on the previous model) and FOUR of this model.

On the three previous models one FAILED in two months, and the remaining two FAILED within 9 months. Apparently, there is a MAJOR PROBLEM with the design, parts, and/or assembly that allows the refrigerant to slowly leak from the system. Thus, after a few months (typically) the coils start to slowly frost over lightly when the compressor activates, decreasing moisture removal. Quickly, the problem worsens. Soon, the unit is CONSTANTLY frosting over, defrosting itself, frosting over, defrosting, etc when activated by the humidistat.

On the four of the current model... One was Dead On Arrival. One, the compressor would never engage (even when set on Continuous). And, the remaining two began the constant cycling between frosting over and defrosting after only 4 or 5 months of use.

In addition, on these two units the metal framing that holds the coils rusted EXTREMELY QUICKLY to the point that the water receptacle is now discolored bright red-orange AND chunks of rusted metal appear in collection bucket daily AND small rust flakes are expelled with the air from the top of the unit.

Definitely NOT what one would expect from a dehumidifier that costs between $150.00-$200.00 PER UNIT.

Saw some bad reviews on the model and wanted to put in my 2 cents. I bought one of these to replace one that was in the basement when we bought our house. For 3 years its been running almost non-stop (does turn off at set humidity level in winter but spring to fall is constant). When the second one in the basement that came with the house dies I got an LG on sale at Home Depot and its dead after less than 2 years. Looking to get another GE to replace that piece of crap LG.

We purchased this dehumidifier after reading a recommendation from the Consumer Reports website (our faith in Consumer Reports went down after our experience with this product). We initially were happy with our purchase; however, after 7 months the device stopped working:

A) the built-in hygrometer appeared to malfunction and the device stopped removing moisture from the air (unless we set it to remove moisture continuously, which is an option on the device)

B) after using the device in "continuous" mode for 1 week, ice crystals began forming on the front of the device we turned it off and called GE.

Their solution was to ship us a "good will certificate" for the purchase of another GE dehumidifier (the certificate is worth a maximum of $250). We're in the process of ordering a new one.

The device operated in a climate controlled section of our home. We also own a Delonghi DD50P Dehumidifier purchased at the same time: The Delonghi operates in our garage which is not climate controlled and is still functioning well.

While GE support was kind/responsive, this GE product was unreliable/appears to be poorly engineered and/or manufactured.

It seems to work fine in my basement. I was confused at first because it seemed that the fan ran constantly while the compressor cycled on and off based on the humidity setting, but then I discovered that the fan runs for just a few minutes after the compressor turns off. Wish the manual mentioned that behavior. So now my only complaint is that something is rattling in the water reservoir and I haven't figured out what it is so am just living with it. Not a huge deal, just a slight annoyance since i'm not in the basement that often. Rating = 4 stars.

6/1/13 update: I only use the unit in the summer when the humidity level in the basement gets too high. When I turned it on this year (season 3) the fan blew but the compressor never turned on. I took it to be repaired and was told the compressor was leaky and not repairable. It only had a one year warranty, so I'm out of luck. Plan to buy a Frigidaire replacement, but I suspect all the newer units are not built to last like my old bullet-proof Wards unit (it was running fine after 20+ years but was a little short on capacity and I thought a newer one would be more efficient, so replaced it). Reduced the rating to one star.

I bought this unit at Sams Club in June of 2011. In June 2013 the unit will no longer take moisture out of the air. Sure it will run the fan and cost electricity but that's about it. The warranty is only good for one year and after that a repair call from GE will cost you $80 plus parts. This is my second and last GE unit. My first unit lasted twice as long.
