Cigar Mechanic Large Humidifier 100

Cigar Mechanic Large Humidifier 100
  • Maintains a 70% humidity level
  • Perfect for storing 75-100 cigars
  • Bi-directional humidification unit
  • Unique Nano Pearl Technology
  • Keep your humidor mold free

For those reviewers who have complained that this device does not stick, you should read the instructions!! I don't think you guys are giving the adhesive time to set. You can't just stick the metal to the wood and then stick the CM directly to it within seconds. It has failed every time I have ever tried to attach a humidification device to any of my humidors. If you read the instructions they tell you to adhere the metal square first and let the adhesive set before trying to attach the cigar mechanic device to it. I let mine set for 24 hours before I tried to attach it and it works beautifully!!

Bought this, thinking that I'd be receiving the large rectangular Cigar Mechanic humidifier, but much to my dismay what I received was the small round 25ct capacity humidifier, which was marked on the box by a sticker stating "large humidifier". Suffice to say I was far from pleased; however I ended up putting it to use in one of my humidors (24).

This humidifier is pretty easy to use and it works ok. However, I just looked in my box a few days a go and found a ton of mold growing on the bottom shelf. I also had a cigar ruined recently due to mold. Will have to keep looking for a better solution.

EDIT 1/4/12:

After dealing with the mold issue, I tried raising the unit off the wood panel of my humidifier by 1/2 inch. I've gotten no mold since then and am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way.

SPT Evaporative Air Cooler with Rotating Louver, SF-616

SPT Evaporative Air Cooler with Rotating Louver, SF-616I purchased this evaporative cooler to take the edge off of my child's play room. We have a couple other evaporative coolers in the house that work well for larger areas, but wanted something smaller and that used less electrical power for that application. I bought based on price, the 65 watt usage and the louvers. It arrived in good condition and completely assembled. Entirely plastic, but seems well made. Smaller than expected. Likes: the controls work well, nice to have the water level window, does what it should (cools a small room as can be expected from an evaporative cooler). Dislikes: feeding water is time consuming due to small intake hole, louvers dont really do much it rotates and could be a nice feature, but I think the pitch is too low or non existant, so the air mostly goes straight.

Update 1.17.03:

Stopped using when it started to leak. Still works if you put a cookie pan underneath, but I recovered my previous portable AC unit (cooling fins needed cleaning, covered in lint/dust causing it to shut down) and switched back to the AC unit.

This swamp cooler does a reasonable job in a small room. I agree with the comment that it is a pain to fill, but most portable swamp coolers I've ever owned are difficult in that way. It would be better if it were easier to disassemble to clean.

I ordered two of these units. Both are fully operational, however the ionizer LED does not operate on one of them. However, it's not worth returning it for that. The owner's manual leaves much to be desired. There are options on the control panel that are not explained, such as "sleep" and "natural" modes. When engaged, they seem to somewhat randomize the operation speed and temporarily shut down the unit for a few seconds, which I find extremely distracting.

These were shipped under Amazon Prime, which promises two day delivery. However, it took four days for these to be delivered.

Update: in the middle of the second season of use, one of the units started leaking badly. I won't be buying another from this manufacturer.

Update 2: Exactly one year later, the other unit started leaking like a sieve.

I only give it one star as I can't give it zero.

I am a college student in a dorm that has no air conditioning. I bought this and It was delivered aprox. 2 hours ago. I am so glad that I got it! Since I'm not so experienced with it, I've only mastered the air cooling feature. So for that, I will give a review: It is absolutely wonderful. Since we are not able to have our own air conditioning units, this suffices! I love the large fan with the rotating louver. When you are sitting in one place you feel the cool air circulate around you! Adding ice makes the air extra chilly. I cannot believe there are no other reviews for this product! I am in love with it!

We bought this cooler to help with the heat on our screened in porch. It works well and allows us to stay on the porch on even the very hot days.

If you are looking for an alternative to a high-power fan, this is not the item to order. Although it does push cold air, it's just not enough to cool a bedroom. It doesn't have enough power behind it. Also, if you use the water feature and plan to sleep in, the water feature doesn't last that long. You would have to wake up, refill, then go back to bed. Not intended for any teenager.

Honeywell H11009 Replacement Filter for Bissell Style 12 Post Motor Filter HEPA Media

Honeywell H11009 Replacement Filter for Bissell Style 12 Post Motor Filter HEPA MediaWe ordered this for our Bissell that requires style 12 filters. This was a perfect fit and seems to be high quality.

It's a filter, it does what it is supposed to. I'd give it 5 stars if the packaging was more eco-friendly.

It came in a timely manner and it fit my vacuum cleaner. From what I can tell, it does the job and is a good replacement for a hard to find filter. You really can't say that much for it honestly.

The product advertised on the page, which I purchased showed it neatly packaged, clearly indentifying it as manufactured by Honeywell and was the reason I decided to buy it, believing it to be a Honeywell filter.

Unfortunately the filters I received were not individually packaged making identification impossible, which aroused my suspicion as to whether what I ordered and paid for was what I was sent.

I immediately contacted Amazon and was given a refund.

I can't say I would do business with this company again.

How do you review a filter? As a replacement, it fit perfectly in the Bissell vacuum and seems to be doing the job nicely. My order arrived quickly and was well packaged.

pureguardian H2500 100-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier with Night Light

pureguardian H2500 100-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier with Night LightLove everything about the way this Humidifier works. Very fine mist. Extremely quiet. If I were to change anything about this humidifier, it would have a way to fill the water chamber from the top. It is a little bit of a pain to have to take the tank off, turn it upside down before getting it too far away from the unit so you don't drip water all over the floor or furniture, find a sink deep enough to be able to fill it to the top, then haul the now heavy reservoir back to the base unit, then flipping it back over the unit to install back on the base. It would be so much easier to have a top fill and just bring the pitcher of water to the unit.

I have had quite a few cheaper ultrasonic humidifiers, and there's no comparison. The mist particles are so fine that they bounce off my hand, and my hand stays dry (slight dampness to the hand when on high). This means I have no problems with condensate sequestering on the things directly around the humidifier.

I've had ZERO issues with any mildew or bacterial films building up in the chamber(s). It really is clean.

The night light is retro... very different, and just plain KEWL! I rarely use it, though.

Having the warm mist option is nice for winter use.

It's definitely a work horse, but I still find I don't need to fill the reservoir nearly as often as other humidifiers.

I live in a very arid, dry, climate, and this machine has been the best! I get nose bleeds when things are too dry, but with this humidifier... nada.

The 3 year warranty is nice too... I've never had cheaper ones last more than a year or two before.

I wanted a humidifier for a large nursery that was quiet, good quality and didn't require filling often. This fit the bill perfectly. It keeps a large nursery humid for what we want when run on low and it has adjustable settings to humidify much more quickly. I didn't give it 5 stars because it has a power usage indicator 1 light for low power usage, 2 lights for high power usage and no matter what I do, it always shows 2 lights (which is not a problem from a power usage point of view (I hope!), but just that this feature doesn't seem to work). I would recommend this.

We are very pleased with this product. It is so quiet we hardly even know its on. We also like the automatic shut off feature when in runs out of water. The best part is no filter to change. We would recommend this humidifier.

So far I love this new humidifier. No filters to replace which is great. It's kinda quiet but the blue light on the front when it's on bothers me. Can't turn it off. There is also a blue nitelight on it but it has a off button. Overall it's so easy to clean and puts out as much humidity as you like.

25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood Finish

25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood FinishI decided not to spend a bundle on my first humidor because I'm not at the level of an everyday smoker, I just enjoy them occasionally so this was a perfect fit for me and my small arsenal of cigars. The humidor is made of beautiful cherrywood, and it includes a humidifier and a humidity gauge, so it has everything needed for a starter humidor. I get compliments on it all the time, and it was definately worth it for the price.

This humidor is very nice, exceeding my expectations considering the economical price. I received the shipment quickly and in fine condition. The dark cherry finish is practically flawless, and the construction quality is well above average. The brass hinges are secure and operate very smoothly. Most importantly, the lid gives the classic puff of air "whoosh" right before it closes, letting me know it is an airtight seal. The humidification element is fine, and the small analog hygrometer is adequate, but cannot be calibrated. A cedar cigar divider was included, which was a nice surprise. My only complaint is that the velcro-type strips included are not strong enough to support the weight of the humidification device. However, I substituted 3M plastic velcro strips I had which are used to hold a tollbooth pass to the windshield, and have had no problems. All in all, this is a great starter humidor for the occasional cigar smoker and I recommend it. The one I purchased and reviewed came from CheapHumidors.

I got it for my boyfriend for as a gift. The photo doesn't do it justice at all. I am so very happy with the purchase.

Read Best Reviews of 25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood Finish Here

I purchased this humidor along with the Quality Importers Desktop Humidor, Capri-Glasstop. This humidor advertises a 25 stick capacity, the glasstop 25-50. When they arrived the packaging, color (cherry), hygrometer, divider and humistat were all identical. The only difference in the humidors was the glass top in the Capri.

That being said, the Capri does seem to have a better seal, but I attribute that to the assembly rather than the product itself. As stated in other reviews, some of these humidors have better seals and maintain RH better than others. As expected the hygrometer is worthless.

All in all seems like an ok humidor for the price and expect to have some extra space if you plan to store no more than 25 cigars.

Want 25-cigar Humidor Cherrywood Finish Discount?

I found this when I started looking for something to take pressure off my junk drawer, I didn't even buy it as a humidor. It was cheaper than the plain wood box I was looking at. Once I got it I decided that was stupid, a humidor is specialized equipment and I might as well use it that way. So now I have a messy junk drawer and stained teeth...great. Anyway, for you humidor newbs like me, to set it up:

Attach the velcro tabs to the inside lid. Use ample quantities of crazy glue, the glue on the velcro will not hold.

Attach the other side of the velcro to the humidification element. Also use crazy glue.

Throw out the included hygrometer and buy a digital one. Trust me, I tried for days to get it calibrated. Best I got was 1.5 points low and it went 15 points lower in 2 days. Junk it. To calibrate, fill a shot glass with salt, wet it to the consistency of wet sand, put a toothpick in it and put the shot glass and hygrometer in a sealed plastic baggie for 8 hours. Adjust the hygrometer to read 75%, repeat to confirm.

Season the wood. Wipe down all the exposed interior wood with distilled or boiled water several times. Leave a shot glass inside with water for a couple days.

Soak the humidification element and a secondary humidification element (I happened to have on hand one of those pillows meant for temporary storage) with propylene glycol solution.

Aim to maintain 69-75% RH.

EDIT: I don't know if the humidifier element is cheap or if this humidor is just kinda low quality, but I'm finding it hard to maintain proper humidity without the shot glass of water. So I keep it in there. Easy.

Multimode Mist Maker Water Humidifier Fountain Lamp "S" Shaped

Multimode Mist Maker Water Humidifier Fountain Lamp 'S' ShapedI bought this for my first apartment mainly because I am decorating in Blue (I bought the one in blue.) It is beautiful and larger then I expected it is the size of an actual table lamp, maybe a bit bigger and very quiet. When my sister and mom saw it they said they were going to buy one for themselves. The Mist does NOT overflow over the lamp so you don't have to worry about damaging your furniture with moisture. Everyone LOVES this lamp!

And when something is everything I expect (and more) I usually give five stars but the directions for assembly are some of the worst I have ever seen and I am very handy and usually get instructions off the bat, I figured it out anyways using the picture on the box (like a jigsaw puzzle.) The problem is they label the parts in the diagram and then in the assembly instructions they refer to the pieces as something entirely different as if they were written by two different people. For someone less handy this might require you to ask someone for help so I'm giving it four stars instead of five but I definitely recommend it anyways :)

P.S. It was well-packed so I wouldn't worry about the contents surviving shipping.

wonderful for diffusing essential oils and humidifying a room. casts a very soft glow and creates a lovely ambiance in the room. If I could change anything about this item, I would like to have the ability to set the light to a single color instead of the light changing.

I have used MIST MAKERS for quite a few years. Love them all .... Had to replace a glass cap that broke (thank you cat). Other than the broken glass cap .... have had no problems. I live in Arizona and humidity can get quite low .... these are better than a noisey, overbearing humidifier.

i bought this for my daughters birthday. She loved it, everyone thought it was so cool. It only took a few days and it stopped working. We cleaned it out and tried again, but it just won't work anymore. We probably got about 8 hours out of it.

I am sending it back, hope to get a replacement.

Aprilaire Stock No. 10 Water Panel

Aprilaire Stock No. 10 Water Panelgreat product. It needs to be replaced twice a year or more according to my heating system engineer. water draining through the filter eventually causes it to clog and breakdown due to the minerals present in the water. When that happens there is the potential for pooling water to be drawn into the plenum causing flooding. so keep a few as spares...This not a fault of the product but rather well water sediments that corrode the metal.

This water panal is hard to find in stores. Cheaper ones are made from a fiberglass material,very bad for mold, and doesn't last. This water panal is coated and of hard materail,and longer lasting.Although the price is high, it's well worth it.

Its a good product at a good price. Came in plastic wrap, so the box in the picture is false advertising.

This is a good design. Easy to install, long lasting. The metal somehow seems to prevent the growth of mold/mildew.

This water panel can sometimes be a tricky item to find in retail. You typically won't find this in any big box type store and I have had a hit and miss affair with the Home depot type stores. You can easily order it from one of the stores located from Aprilair's web site but Amazon's sellers still had the best price and the return policy can't be beat.
