Xikar Large Cigar Humidor Solution Propylene Glycol 16 Ounces

Like other reviewers, I also ordered this believing I was purchasing a Xikar product. What I actually received was a bottle of "Stogie's Propylene Glycol 50/50" solution. I'm sure one PG 50/50 is about the same as another, but that's hardly the point. Advertising one product and sending out something completely different is unacceptable business practice.

One more note, the bottle was wrapped up in a plastic bag, and quite a bit of the product has leaked out in transit. Paid for 16 ounces, received maybe 14.

The post office had to place the package in a plastic bag because the lid on the bottle was loose spilling 25% of the liquid by the time it was delivered. The package was saturated. I left packaging feedback (with photos), seller feedback and feedback to Amazon around 3 weeks ago. I am still waiting for a response. I'm sure the product is everything it is supposed to be, but I sure didn't get my money's worth.

Just so everybody is aware, according to Xikar their solution is NOT a 50/50, it's their own formula as they say 50/50 is too viscous for many bead products. Is it true? Who knows... But if you believe that's true then none of the cheap generic 50/50s are going to fulfill your needs.

I originally purchased this because it had a picture of the Xikar bottle. When I received the order, it was actually "Stogie's". I talked with the vendor, who said that Amazon regularly has substitute items when looking for a specific brand. I have since found this to be the case. The seller was actually very nice and easy to get along with, and was more than happy to allow me to return the product. I decided to give it a shot.

I found the solution to be a very good one for a 50/50, but I purchase Xikar *because* it isn't 50/50. It is a slightly better blend which tends to leave less residue and which tends to not change each time you add it to the humidifier.

Now is where I reach what I am torn about. They have since fixed the picture issue, and the correct picture *and* description are now there. I think that the product is very good for what is being sold . . . but the item title is now even worse than the formerly-mistaken picture. It is now being advertised as Xikar (the title now reads "Xikar Large Cigar Humidor Solution Propylene Glycol 16 Ounces". The picture confusion from before is easily explained, but I have a bit of a hard time believing that Amazon forcefully changed the title after it was put in.

So in conclusion, I would give the product five stars for being a good product, and I took away 3 stars for it essentially being a bait-and-switch. If you clicked on the product and are aware of the fact it is not Xikar (and the misleading title doesn't bother you), then I would definitely encourage you to purchase it. Otherwise I would purchase somewhere else, like this one: Xikar Humidifier Solution 16 oz..

I probably should have read the other reviews before absent-mindedly purchasing this product at three AM. However, I did not, and they are correct. The product I received is not as pictured, and lacking the ability to test it for purity and content, I intend to send it back for a refund. Frankly, I just don't know if I can trust this label on the bottle of clear fluid that may or may not be "99.9% pure" and "made with 100% pure distilled water" (which is technically impossible).

Guys, at this price, just go to your nearest tobacconist, and buy the real deal. You won't save any money, but you run the stupid risk of destroying some cigars with this mystery fluid that looks like it came out of someone's garage, and the labels that were clearly printed on someone's inkjet.

CALIBER III DIGITAL HYGROMETER 4 CIGAR HUMIDOR

I purchased two of these. While the temperature gauge seems to work fine, not too much can be said for the relative humidity. The advertising states no calibration needed. Nor can any calibration be done. There are two different readings always within 6% of each other. So which one is accurate?? Who knows??? It tells me there is a lot to be said for the quality control and waste of money. Not recommended. Try something else.

Great, small, sleek, very accurate temp and hygrometer.

i have purchased a few hygrometers to finally buy this and finally got what i was looking for, something thats actually accurate.I also like the magnet mount.

This is a fantastic little piece of equipment, and the price absolutely cannot be beat!

Because of the cheap prices of most small hygrometers, I actually bought a couple of different ones. Well, this is the winner, hands down. It's incredibly accurate (both temperature and humidity) right out of the box, no calibration required.

Of course, the first thing I did upon receiving my hygrometers was test out the accuracy. The Caliber III was perfect right off the bat. The HygroSet II was the next closest (but not close enough), and finally the Analog Hygrometer was pretty far off. After calibrating the other two, they were much closer, but the Caliber III was the only one to stay consistent and accurate 100% of the time.

Considering the fact that it's actually cheaper than the HygroSet II, what's not to like about it? Well, okay maybe it's just slightly on the large side for some. I personally think it's fine. It's really not that big, but I guess there are smaller ones out there. However, as far as I'm concerned it is definitely the most accurate.

Get it and be happy! :)

Warning: My Caliber III Digital Hygrometer reads much higher than actual relative humidity level (approximately 10% higher than my other calibrated lab units).

If you require accurate relative humidity measurements, I would not recommend this unit--especially for critical applications (fine instruments for example).

The product has major flaws and are not usable for me,,I see I'm not the only one with this problem,I really think they are selling used one's cause my batteries went dead in two days and the product looked used,You should only buy these things from a reputable place that just deals with them,,I called about it and they sent new batteries but the thing still did not work right ,the humidity gauge was off by over 10%. The temp gauge seems to take too long for a correct reading.....I really would like me credit back.

BestAir FSOB6 Splash Scents Rain Forest Mist Scent 16 oz

Having bought all the fragrances that "Splash Scents" makes, I think I like this one the best. I bought a Brethe Air Purifier by Homedics that came with the most horrendous fragrances...seemed like 4 variances on Pine Sol -yuck. So, before I returned it, thought I'd research some other possible fragrances. Lo and behold, I found these on good ol' Amazon...they are so much lighter and true fragrances that don't smell like a public restroom! Thank goodness...now I use my Brethe almost every day and love all the Splash Scents fragrances. Highly recommend!

nothing wrong with it if you like the smell of the rain forest but i simply don't find this smell attractive it makes my house smell like rain forest soggy, old, fermented wood sort of smell... not a big fan, especially since smell is not strong enough to distinguish if this is fragrance or if i need to check my house if i have mold behind my walls... i think moldy smell might be the right way to describe this rain forest very "natural leafy" smell.

I was looking forward to being able to add a scent to my humidifier so I bought 3 different scents. The scents smell wonderful in the bottles, but when I added it to the humidifier and turned it on I smelled nothing. I added more thinking that I didn't add enough and still no smell. I have added far more than recommended on the bottle and it just does not leave a scent once added to the humidifier. I was very disappointed. Now I have 3 bottles that smell great until you add it to a humidifier and then you get nothing.

Simply doesn't work. I tried using more than the recommended amount in my humidifier and still, no results. You're better off going with just about any plug in air freshener.

HWF72/HWF75 Holmes Humidifier Replacement Filter

Although it is a tight fit for the Sunbeam SCM3609, it can be squeezed on and then works really well. The filter soaks up water from the humidifier at a goodly rate I can run through one of the two tanks in a day and the room humidity goes up quite quickly. I don't notice any odd odors at all. The vendor charged me only one shipping and handling fee for four filters.

Set of 2 Portable Heating Vent Register Humidifiers

I live in a studio apartment that measures somewhere between 500 to 600 square feet. My heating and cooling is derived from one very long vent that sits about a foot and a half above the floor. I use both humidifier units along the vent, but to cover it completely I would probably need four of them. Given that my setup and the size of my apartment is not ideal, this review will focus more on the product than on how effective it is.

It's not apparent from the pictures, but the water-absorbant material is actually foam that isn't so different than the types found in packing materials. This is a bit surprising, since this material isn't as water-absorbant as a sponge. In fact, if the material is dry and you attempt to water the humidifier from above, the water will simply sit on top of the foam and will not penetrate it. I rehydrate it at a sink. The company's instructions suggest squeezing the foam while under running water so as to maximize the amount of water absorbed. It probably helps, but the foam doesn't seem to take up a whole lot of water even then. Unless you allow it to sit for a few minutes, you can also expect to drip some water in the process of moving from the sink to the vent.

One could argue that the choice of foam over traditional sponge material is for airflow purposes. However, even with my single vent (which pushes air with more force than a standard vent system found in houses), the air is forced around the humidifier and does not go through it. This isn't a bad thing for heating systems (since hot air rises anyway), but isn't optimal for air conditioning. Granted, most people will probably use this for winter, but all in all it seems as if the choice to use foam over a different material was likely cost-based.

I had a bad experience with the construction that required some work on my part. Each humidifier has six "feet" that raise it above the vent so that it does not obstruct airflow. Each foot is attached to the main frame by a nut and bolt. When I unpacked my units, many of the feet and their securing nuts were loose in the bag, and many of the feet that remained on the unit had nuts that were nowhere near fully tightened. No tools are shipped with the product, and none of my own tools were small enough to do the job. I ended up using tweezers to thread the nuts along their bolts and affix the feet to the units. I couldn't get them very tight, but it gets the job done a job I should not have had to do. The difficulty (and lack of tools) with getting the feet on and off also makes it clear that the foam was not intended to be removed from the casing for soaking.

Being unable to remove the foam leads to another complaint. While the units look pleasing enough, after two or three rehydrations I noticed that one of the bolts is showing signs of rusting. It's one out of 12 (between two units), but it's clear that it can only get worse from here. The white plastic surrounding the bolts will become a discolored yellow-brown. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for" it's just another thing to consider.

As far as effectiveness goes, I can't really comment. As I mentioned before my setup is probably not optimal; all the same, it doesn't seem to be making a big difference. The foam does dry out over time, meaning that the air in my apartment is being humidified. It's questionable as to whether it's much more effective than setting out bowls of water and waiting for the water to evaporate from them, though.

In summary, it's a cheap product that doesn't consume electricity to use, but is a bit of a pain to rehydrate. If you have a small room and/or only need slightly more humidity it might be worth trying, but otherwise it doesn't seem worth it. It seems to me that you could make one of these yourself by propping up a wet towel or sponge an inch or so above a vent in fact, I may open up the casing on these humidifiers and replace the foam with sponges.

It works...a little bit. It covers the vent and the air pressure from the vent doesn't get through the product very well.

Graco Pack 'N Play with Newborn Napper Elite, Vance

This is a great product for me as I'm wanting my baby as close to me as possible through the night, but I don't have a lot of room for changing. I needed a little "station" of baby stuff all in one place. Other parents might not need that, but it's ideal for me.

It's basically like every other pack and play Graco makes, except this one doesn't have a vomit-inducing print that the baby won't ever understand anyway. It's a simple print that's sand and stone colored. It's the same model as the BRU Elefante(sp?) P&P, but again, not as vomit-inducing.

The newborn napper is highly recommended because it puts the baby at somewhat of an incline which is good if baby has digestion problems. It also has a 15 lb limit weight capacity, as does the bassinet.

I got it right away, put it together myself in 40 minutes (38 weeks pregnant) and it's reasonably light and has wheels. What more could you want?

I had specific needs to meet for this purchase. I needed 1. A changing table since space is limited in the baby's room. 2. Storage for the supplies since, you guessed it space is limited in the baby's room. 3. Wheels I am not that big and I did not want to lug around a heavy, awkward cube around my house like I did 12 years a go with a cheap play pen someone bought me when I had my first child in my 20's. 4. Bassinet Since space is limited and we did not want to put up the big crib yet, we are using this as the baby's bed for now till he gets a little bigger and we are forced to use the big crib. 5. Newborn Napper is just a bonus. I didnt plan on using this, but I do set the baby in it while Im in the room putting clothes away and folding diapers, which take a while to fold and I dont want to take the changing table off to get to the bassinet.

I reviewed over 100 play pens / pack n plays / what ever they call them these days. I chose this one because some of the others I checked out the people said the changing table was wobbly or it tilted down into the unit and they were dissatisfied with that. (Well, I guess I would be too) This one was stated as not doing this because it is located on the end and not the side of the unit and it has more stability. That is the number 1 selling point for me! It is nice and does not. The storage is nice, not what I was expecting. Its a soft sided storage and the "shelves" are not really deep, so stuff falls out and it kind of sags down. I am 100% happy with the assembly. My 6 year old and I put it together in about an hour. We stuck to the step by step instructions, since we used it as a learning tool and she read and decided what we to do next with the words and pictures. If I would have been without her, I would have had it together in maybe 20 min!

I am most dissatisfied with the colors. They are nice and not ugly, but by looking at the picture, it APPEARS black and white with a "snowflake" type design. I thought it would match some of the other items we had. I read the description and it said dark grey, cream and taupe. I was hoping it was close to the grey and white, but it was not. Its still a nice pattern and color, but not EXACTLY what I was looking for.

OVERALL Not big issues that would prevent me from buying it again if I had to. The price was higher than some others, Im not sure why? But to stick to the NEEDS I had to meet this was the type of cash I had to spend.

Our infant has LOVED the napper ever since we brought him home. It is very soft and sturdy and cradles him right in place for hours! The changing table is also sturdy and has a soft pad for the baby to lay on. The unit folds up nicely if needed but the napper and changing table do not fold out of the way of the play yard underneath, but it does create room for storage until you take them off. The storage this offers is worth the price alone!

This pac and play was given to me as a gift from family. It is actually the second pac and play that I have used. (My first one was given to me seven years ago for my first child). I was impressed right away after taking it out of the box. The mattress is very cushy and the material is soft. I love the napper! It is so snuggly and the way that it is made wants you to put your little one in it. The storage space is not exaggerated. It is as spacious as is looks. The one problem I did have was the instructions were not in the box. Even without the instructions, I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes and I am almost 8 months pregnant! I can't wait to use it and I would recommend it to everyone!!!

This is my 3rd baby but first pack n play. I reasearched extensively before purchasing. Although my son isn't due for another 10 weeks, I love it so far. It was easy to put together. It has PLENTY of storage space for all baby's needs. And I love having a changer, newborn napper, & basinet with portability so it can be right beside my bed or in the kitchen while I cook. I'm very excited to use it when my son arrives!

Really be sure you want an item from this company the due charge a re-stock fee and will take some back for return shipping. The filter is like a honeycome style filter only half as much surface area. I did not receive any type of resolution after my inial email so I'm going have deal with it and buy directly from the manufacture.

Original Bemis-brand pleated filter would evaporate a full two gallon tank of water in 24 hours. This product takes 36 hours to evaporate the same amount. Lower price of this version attracted me but will buy a Bemis style filter next time. A case of getting what you pay for want cheap? Then buy this product. Want better performance, buy a Bemis brand filter.

Slant Fin GF-210 Germ-free Warm Mist Room Humidifier

GREAT: Germ-free! Great humidity level! Helps sinuses!

Others might say this unit requires a lot of TLC. It does. I am willing to do that to have a unit that works as well as this one does.

We have hard water so I clean mine out about every 48 hours. I do empty the bottom part out and rinse each time I refill the top part and I also rinse out the pad.

When I clean the unit, I let it sit in vinegar while I'm out doing shopping or whatever so that it doesn't seem like a long time (an hour or two or if I don't need it at night, overnight). It says in the manual 20-30 minutes, but that isn't long enough when you have hard water. By leaving the mineral pad in the unit while it's soaking in vinegar, it also cleans the pad. I have a little toothbrush I keep to clean the water sensors in the vinegar just before I rinse out the vinegar.

The top part that is filled with water, I clean about once a week. I put in about 1/2 cup of bleach and fill it with water. I let it sit while I am cleaning the bottom part out with vinegar. I rinse both the bottom part and pad out a few times to fully rinse out the vinegar and the top part out to rinse out the bleach.

If 99.99% bacteria-free humidity is a must for you for health reasons as it is for me...I don't think you'll mind keeping up with this. Keep in mind, I have mine running for a full 5 months out of the year (24/7 practically) so I probably need a little more upkeep on mine than most people.

After trying the many other humidifiers out there, Slant/Fin is by far my favorite. The others only put out germs into the air. Maybe they are easier to clean, but who wants to breathe in the white powder it spits out? Who wants to breathe in water that's sitting there with bacteria in it because it's not boiled to rid it of the bad germs?? NOT ME!

Originally bought this for our youngest daughter who gets asthma in the cold (we live in the NorthEast). We use it off and on seasonally and have had this for 3 years now. It works fine for us, I don't know how well it works at 'purifying the air', but we've had no problems. It does accumulate deposits frequently due to our hard water, but the white vinegar cleans it in no time. I would recommend it, we're just trying to find mineral pads for it now tho -hopefully they're still made.
