SLANT/FIN Puri-Clear 55 Air Purifier Replacement Filter

I have been using these air fliters for about 15 years along with many others I was disappointed when the manufacturer sold out to a different company who discontinued the filter packs yes, I was one of those who kept buying new units after a few months the air quality was noticably better when this was running I have one in my office and people always remark how much better the air is in there. In any case, I have been browsing for this filter pack just hoping that it would show up again and KAZ (the aquiring company) must have seen all of the negative blogs and web sites I visited as they have made them again!! I ordered a bunch for the 3 units I have going (winter and summer) and will let my friends know they are available again many of them liked the effect but refused to buy new units when the filters got gunked up.

Germ-Free UV Humidifier

I needed a humidifier for the room where i keep my guitars .. I have fount this unit very efficient. It shuts itself off when it measures "enough' humidity which you can choose. This is very important in a house with electric heat. I have fumbled with the fill cap, but I do not find it cumbersome. And I use a pitcher to fill it so I am not trying to figure out if i have to bring it to the kitchen to fill or use the bathtub. Therefore, I have found it convenient and easy to use, and I would recommend it to a friend.

Needing a germ free humidifier this was highly recommended by one review with many stars. However, lo and behold, this humidifier is poorly made. The threads for replacing the cap are difficult to screw on because of the shoddiness of the manufacture. Its takes several attempts to get the cap screwed on. Several times, believing all was well, the cap gave wayi pouring water over the furniture. For the humidifier at this price, I would hope more precision could have been used.

I received the unit yesterday and immediately filled to test the unit overnight. Overall I would have to say that I will have to continue searching for my dream machine. Because of the lack of significant steam I slept uncomfortably having to lay relatively close to the unit to feel it, and still woke up with puffy eyes. Some vapor is better than none at all!!

I have purchased numerous humidifiers over the years finding them to provide great relief for sinus sufferers when dry air / dry heat is problematic. I just pulled out an old Holmes HM-5700 unit out of the closet which required Bacteriostat be added to the water (still have several bottles) and found it to have a sticky substance all through out it and it fits perfectly in the box I just received the Brookstone unit to put in the dumpster. The Holmes unit produced a fair amount of steam, but required a lot of work to keep the unit clean.

I read numerous reviews looking for a unit that did not require a lot of maintenance keeping the heating coil free from built up residue and would deliver a significant amount of steam to my liking. My observations of this unit:

PROS

1) Love the design of the unit

2) Features simple to use

3) Used tap water but will be looking to purchase distilled water

4) Unit is ultra quiet

5) Has a medicine cup

6) UV 3.5W replacement bulb for sanitzing unit

7) Runs up to 3 nights or 24 hours per filling

CONS

1) Expensive in comparison to similar units with a $129.99 price tag

2) Blue light is very bright

3) Steam is more of a vapor and not a significant amount to my liking, woke up with eyes puffy

4) Mineral absorption pads EMP-17P recommended for mineral buildup but not required (highly recommend)

5) To clean the unit it recommends 1 cup of white vinegar be added to the reservoir and allowed to soak for 20-30 minutes

5) To disinfect the water tank it recommends a teaspoon of bleach be allowed to sit for 20 minutes.

I had to return this Item to the Brookstone store, they gave me a credit. Water did not cover the heating element as it was supposed to. Would not reccomend.

Well, this is better than the Kaz product I bought at local drugstore, but it is noisy, the night light is so bright I have to cover it up with makeshift cardboard, it does not disperse the humidity all that well, it needs cleaning very frequently.

Cigar Mechanic Small Round Humidifier

I have two of these in a 75 count humidor and it keeps the humidity around 65%, not the 70% that it should. This is forgivable, and even slightly more desirable to me. However, they need to be refilled at least once a week. The pucks that came with the humidor would go weeks instead of 7 days max.

Essick Air SGL 1040 Replacement Wick, Single Pack

I purchased this product to replace an old wick that I had in my humidifier. The new product went in fine and seemed to work...other than having a funny "factory" smell at first. After a couple days of using the wick I still noticed the smell. I took the wick out and doused/rinsed it in water. That seemed to help cut the smell. We continued to use the humidifier 24/7 for the next couple of weeks and the wick continued to be fine. It worked well for about 30 days of constant use at which point I removed it from the humidifier because it was starting to mold. Would be great for someone who uses the products sporadically.
