Optimus U-31005 2.0 Gallon Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier

This Humidifier is so much better than the fancy one by sharper image that I had and then returned;

1. It only has one tank to fill (1.6 gallon capacity). It was a pain to have to fill each of the two tanks on the Sharper Image one.

2. It actually has a humidistat control. The more expensive(way more) sharper image one did not.

3. It has a built-in ionizer. (I don't use it, but still)

4. PRICE; Other fancier looking humidifiers will cost way more and have way less features.

5. The tank has a pretty big opening to pour water in. This makes it easier to fill. I also like that it will stand up on a flat surface while refilling it.

My only gripes:

1. Just to make it clear, power consumption is 45W. I wish Optimus would have printed that in the manual or on the box instead of me having to look on the underside of the unit's base for this piece of info. I'm not complaining about how much power it takes; just make the information easier to find, Optimus.

2. The humidistat control doesn't show what relative humidity % you have it set at. You kinda have to guess or use a hygrometer to know for sure. If it had a digital readout on the Humidistat, this would be 5 stars for sure. This is not really a complaint for me, but just a way they could make the product even better.

Overall this is a good one because it has a decent sized water tank and will keep the humidity at a constant level without having to fiddle with the dials constantly. It is pretty much set it and forget it except for refilling it with water of course. A little tip: use reverse osmosis or distilled water in it and you'll probably rarely, if ever, have to clean it.

I tried the WalMart and Walgreens humidifiers but the seals didn't work and you have to buy the fiber filters which fall apart in a couplt of months. The cost was about $30 but they just weren't working well. I tried the Optimus 2 gallon and I liked the fact that there is no filter required, it is easy to fill, and it has adjustable humidity flow. It is a lot quieter too. It costs $50. I was very pleased, so I bought another one for my son.

I received this item on the 11th of February. From the moment I turned it on it worked perfectly. The unit makes litterally no noise. The output is perfect for a medium sized room. It even has an ionizer built in. The comfort since its activation in the room is 10 fold. We do not wake up with dry lips or mouth. It's easier to breathe. Overall I would highly recommend this humidifer. For the quality and price its a steal.

HAC-504 Aftermarket Honeywell Humidifier Wick Filter

Product is not the same size as the filters from the original manufacturer. Had to trim several inches off with a scissor to fit the humidifier.

I bought 2 just because the shipping cost was the same as buying one. I was wary of the purchase because of the reviews of it being too big, and yes I put it in dry and it was slightly too tall, however, I was smart enough to realize that when you get it damp first, it flexes like a wet sponge and seals perfectly! No table saw required. I have been using the first one for 2 months now and I will keep ordering these filters when I need to replace them.

I received the two humidifier wick filters promptly and they were as advertised. They are working very well. They absorb water well and do not dry up when the humidifier is turned off for several hours.
