Crystal Gel Humidifier Jar - 2 oz

Guess free humidifier for your humidor. I have a 100 cigar case and this seems to work perfect. No issues with long term storage of my cigars

Easy to fill & monitor. Crystals expand when distilled water is added to fill line. Looks as if it will last about three months in my humidor. Humidity is now at a constant 72-76%. My humidor holds 50 cigars, this is the perfect size!

BestAir FSCA6 Splash Scents Cinnamon Apple Scent 16 oz.

I like to use this type of product to add a pleasant scent in our home and yes, it does work. Different scents are available in this brand and I like the apple cinnamon aroma best. It seems to be the most robust scent additive out of the others available. It is simple to use but is best to add the liquid to the humidifiers water after filling the container otherwise foam is created taking up water space.

I only use this product on occasion because if you think about it, it is not a cheap way to fill your home/room with a pleasing smell. The concept is great but not affordable for me with constant use. You can add more liquid per gallon of water to increase the strength of aroma which is what I need to do for my satisfaction. For this reason, cost per gallon of water, I am rating this product with 4 stars ****.

Other similar products are available such as a tablet-type scent. Just drop the tablet(s) in the water according to the intensity of aroma you enjoy. However, this form of additive is not an economical option either. I have only found this type in a local store so far.

If you're like me wanting value for the money, it is not the most cost effective way to do so. But on occasion, I do find it worth the price.

My sense of smell is not what it used to be so take this with a grain of salt.

I have not been able to detect any fragrance from this product at all, even when using three times the recommended amount. Even when standing right in front of the air flow from the humidifier. Even after leaving home for 4 to 5 hours and returning. No fragrance.

Edit 2-17-13

I quit using this product.

This product foams a great deal. Very much like soap. In the bottle, it even smells like soap or detergent. The foaming causes my humidifier to make annoying snapping sounds, like the foam bubbles popping. Except they are louder and sharper. More like slight electrical arching. Small sparks. (It could be that the foam is getting into the fan blade, getting whacked, and making a sharp sound.) It makes me wonder if the foam is getting into the electrical components at the top of the unit. If so, this can only cause eventual failure of the humidifier due to mineral buildup on the electrical components.

This product also causes the impeller/fan to run very loud for some reason. I have to run 2 or 3 tankfuls of water in the humidifier without this product added before the impeller/fan sounds normal again.

I purchased this to add "freshness" to our house during winter. I was very pleased with the smell. Very refreshing.

I have a Homedics breathe machine, you can no longer get the smell liquid to add to the water. I got this but the scent is not strong enough. You can barely smell it for only a short timeand I added more than required.

but did very little to make anything else smell better. It has a bit of soap in it too. Well, maybe not soap, but it will make lots of bubbles if you put it in an evaporative cooler as I did. Wouldn't order it again, put it that way.

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.

In my quest to replace the fake woodgrain 1970s-vintage Sears whole house humidifier that we've used for years, I first purchased an EssickAir (Bemis) TD6-710. The unit had all the looks, size, and features we wanted a really slick machine. The only problem was that it was severely design-flawed.

There is nothing on the market as sleek-looking as that unit. It's sad that it is so flawed. The hardware store was gracious to take it back used and unboxed, and they decided to return all 3 units they still had back to the manufacturer.

Wal-Mart had the Boston Innovative Products EH-01-342 for $109, so we picked one up. This unit doesn't have the electronic humidity meters, out-of-water indicator, or super-easy refill of the EssickAir, but it is solidly built and so far does not overflow the water basin like the EssickAir. There are 2 two-gallon containers in it for water. Each has a handle for ease of carrying. Getting them out involves removal of a pop-out screen in the back of the unit, so you don't have the convenience of frontfill. The 3-speed evaporator fan in typically noisy, even on the lowest setting. Cold air blows out the front of the unit, making placement of it in the room a concern of comfort. The unit is taller but narrower that those boxy larger units, making it a little less invasive. Time will tell how it fits into our home. I may update this in a few weeks with further experience.

2-1-07 Update

After using this machine for a little while, one thing I cannot understand. Why doesn't it have an out-of-water indicator? It seems crazy that you have to attune your ear to the mild grating noise that indicates a water refill is necessary. Why put the water pump through all that excessive wear? Another thing that can be annoying is the short cycle time. I don't know how the humidity sensor is set up, but the unit turns on for a few minutes, turns off for a few minutes, turns on for a few minutes... why not design a delay in the timing so that it wouldn't be so jarring with all this cycling? I'm thinking now that a 3-star rating is more appropriate, although it still beats most of the competition that I have tried.

We purchased this humidifier at WalMart when they were clearanced last year and got them out of the attic for this winter. First of all I don't understand how it can be called a "15 gallon" humidifier when it really only holds 4 gallons can anyone explain this? Also, we have also had problems with knowing when to refill it until the humidifier starts making a funny noise (and this surely isn't good on the machine to constantly let it run out of water). Also, we have had a funny substance running out of the machine almost from the beginning of use, and today while wiping up the "junk" I noticed that it is green now. ???? Anyway the reason I rated it a '2' is because it is nice looking and does run 'fairly' quietly when it is full of water. Overall, our family has been very disappointed in this humidifier.

Office Air Purifier

I have this beside my monitor for some time now and I noticed that I can stay longer in front of the computer and the back of my neck doesn't seem to hurt as much as before even if I work late hours. I really like this product, it's small and compact, just sits on my table beside the monitor and just there to clean the air around me and make me feel better. I use this together with IonLite® Air Purifier Plug-In with Nightlight Perfect Choice for your Baby's Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen & More and with other Ionlite product in the whole house.

Recommended! I Lovet it!

Convenient size for desk placement. Not sure though if it's doing the job filtering. Hard to tell if on any given day my sinuses are better off for having it run. But for the price it seems worth the possibility it provides some good filtration.

8GAL HUMIDIFIER (Essick Air Products MA0800)

I have this exact same model under the name Emerson MoistAIR with a model number of MA08000 that we got from Lowe's about three months ago. It holds one gallon of water and does a great job in our open floor plan, about 500 + square feet or so minus one room down a hall I haven't monitored. It displays the humidity level and kicks on when needed. The unit is very quiet to the point that I don't even notice it when I am reading.

The colder it gets, the more the heater runs, the more I fill it, but it isn't using up the water at a rate that is bothersome or wasteful. The only thing bad I have to say is it's big and not the nicest looking thing in a small living space, but we only need it in the winter so I can live with it. If you have the room to hide it in a corner it's a solid mid size humidifier.

My wife was having bad sinus problems and her MD recommended getting a humidifier. We purchased this one at Lowe's and have now had it for 4-5 years. Within about a month after purchasing this and placing it near our return air vent, as recommended, in our 1500 sq. ft home, my wife's sinus problems were resolved. I actually can't believe how much better I can breathe in the mornings when I wake up with this thing running vs. when it's not running. We now live in a 1800 sq. ft. home and it still serves our purposes well. It goes through about 1 tankfull of water per day during the cold days when the heat is running. I just fill it before bed each night. It is very quiet. We keep it in our bedroom beside the return air vent (right beside the bed)on the low setting and most of the time don't even realize it's running. I also purchase Holmes Bacteriostat and add about an ounce each time I fill the unit, which keeps the unit clean and never allows any bacterial growth (which ruins your filter). I only have to purchase about 1 filter and 1 bottle of bacteriostat per year. I recommend this item regularly to friends, family, and my own patients.

I know there is a bad review out there on it as well as some other good ones but this has been one of the best investments I have ever made! For your health...for your family's health...Get one!

We have the EssickAir Moist Air MA 1201. However, the pic looks the same as this one. This is the 3rd year we have had it.

Pros:

It keeps the humidity up really well in our 1200 square foot home, especially if it is placed near the return air vent.

With the humidity up, we notice less nose bleeds, dry skin, sinus problems, and bronchial problems in the winter, which we had noticed before.

It has different humidity settings and different noise levels. The quietest setting is barely noticeable, and sounds like a soothing "white noise."

Cons:

It is HUGE. I'm glad we only need it out during the winter months, because it takes up a lot of space, IMO.

The pad, especially this year (our 3rd year) keeps getting moldy! My husband is Type A, Obsessive Compulsive about keeping this maintained, as he is in the Heating & Air industry and is both knowledgeable and mindful of humidifiers. He cleans it thoroughly, per directions, before the first use, and puts a new pad in it. Usually we start running it in late October. It is December now and we have bought THREE pads already this year. One pad should last at least for the few months we use it each year.

I live in a small one bedroom house, less than 1000 sq ft. I burn wood only for heat so my house gets very dry. In the past I have always purchased and used two smaller humidifiers and it didn't do what I expected and I spent a fortune on filters. This year I went with a bigger model, I figured with the wood stove I needed something that put out more humidity. I love this humidifier. The tank holds a gallon, and the reservoir in the bottom holds a gallon. So it holds a little over two gallons all together. I run mine on high, with the wood stove it is necessary. But, this unit does put out eight gallons in a 24 hour period. It does mean that I have to fill it four times a day, but I am happy to do it. I suffered terribly with sinus problems, dry eyes and a dry throat every winter. Now when I wake up, I feel good. No more red eyes, sore throat, or runny nose. Its all gone. I am sleeping better and my son even noticed that the air was better when he came to visit.

It displays the humidity level and shuts off if it runs out of water. It's a good reminder if I forget to fill it because it won't run dry. It is easy to clean and I have had no mold problems at all. I do use the water treatment that is recommended for this model. I would recommend this humidifier to anyone. If you need to have eight gallons a day of output, it's there. If you need less, use a lower speed. Its great because you can read the humidity level and set the speed accordingly. I sleep better, and I feel much better. It does everything promised. It is not loud, it does not leak or any of those problems I have had in the past. It is easy to fill also. And it is so easy to clean.

Also, its important that you use Essick replacement filters. I ordered the filters that were on the page with the humidifier. They are the wrong filters and poorly constructed. Amazon sells the correct filters, Essick filter part number MAF2. Be sure to order the correct filters. Don't waste your money on imitations. And order the correct number, MAF2 is the replacement filter number.

We decided to buy this humidifier with the hopes that it would humidify the entire second floor of our 1700sf, 2 1/2 story colonial. I do believe it is doing a good job. I must say that after one night I do feel relief from the dryness. I use cpap and would wake up all night long because of mouth dryness. Even though my cpap machine has its own humidifier there was no humidification reaching me because the air was so dry coming into the machine. Using this multi-room humidifier has absolutely reduced the dryness in our home and I noticed a difference in my cpap therapy. Air in the house is definitely more comfortable.

The unit is quite quiet. The fill tank is fairly easy to fill, although it was too tall to fill in the bathroom sink. Internally it is very accessible when you lift the fill tank and main assembly from the base. This is something which I wanted as I didn't want the operation of the unit to be a mystery (is there mold or algae building up inside)? You can clearly see all parts of this humidifier and clean it easily when necessary. Filter/wick is very easy to replace and is inexpensive.
