Venta Airwasher Venta Water Treatment, 35oz Bottle

This additive is an absolute necessity when operating the Venta Airwashwer. Whenever you replace the water of the Airwasher completely (every 10-14 days according to the manual) and rinse it out, you will need to add a portion of this additive. The bottle lasts for about 12 such cycles.

I have actually found that I need to replace the water every 10 days to avoid the buildup of "gunk" in the water. I have lived in an area where the water had a much higher mineral content compared to where I live now and found myself doing a complete rinse-out of the Airwasher and replacement of the water and the treastment additive every week, just because the build-up of mineral deposits was so high.

I ordered this item expecting to get the 1 liter (35 oz) bottle of water additive. This item is no longer available as Venta is now only selling the 10 pack boxes of premeasured water additives. Grady's is shipping this box instead of the bottle, claiming that it is an equivalent. In point of fact, it is not equivalent, as the box provides 10 treatments while the bottle provided 20 for the same price! I asked them to send me another box of the packets if they are, in fact, offering an equivalent, but Grady's offered to refund my money after returning the unopened 10 pack box. I elected to return the item for a refund, rather than paying twice the price per treatment.

I've got two Airwash units and, like all of us, thought I'd save the cost of more expensive Venta water treatment and cleaner fluid by getting a generic brand at Ace Hardware. I think we are all suspicious of companies luring us into buying their side products. For once, the Venta products outperform similar products and I feel are worth the cost. As other Venta Airwash owners already know, the wheels need to be cleaned periodically and using both the cleaner and water treatment really keeps them spotless.

Since both units run almost 24/7, I will confess that about every 6 weeks, I do take the base and water wheels for both units and soak them in a mild bleach/dish detergent solution in the bathtub (both units are oyster white). With being able to remove the motor/fan assembly so easily to clean the blades, I feel like I have a healthy environment for each unit. Using the water treatment as directed keeps my units clean and sanitary in between cleanings. I trade off cleaning methods because much as I like the products, I do have to keep my eye on a tight budget. This is well worth the expense though.

pureguardian H1000 12-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier

I first saw the Germ Guardian H1000 on the desktop of a co-worker. I searched the web for it and found the best price at Amazon. I originally bought it for work, but set it up on my nightstand to test it out and liked so much it never made it to the office. (I may have to get a second one for work.) It's compact size and efficiency are real selling points. I even used it in a recent production I was in, taking it to and from the theater every night. Most of the other performers in the cast wanted to know all about it and were also impressed. I highly-recommend it.

I was very disappointed with this product. Initially, it appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. A small, attractive, filterless humidifier for a baby nursery that had natural antimicrobial properties.

Prior to purchasing, I read a number of online reviews. Like most products, there were mixed results, but overall the impressions seemed positive. I had read a review by Paul here who claimed that the product didn't work. I assumed his review was hyperbole. Turns out Paul was right. It just plain doesn't work.

We ran this humidifier in our baby's nursery for 16 hours straight (refilling so the tank was never empty). In 16 hours, the humidity went from 33% to 34% !?!? It just plain doesn't work.

Now, I should also state some obvious stuff. We used the product in what should have been an appropriate environment. The room is very small 9'x9' and the door was closed to eliminate loss of humidity. Also, my experience can not be explained away as a single faulty unit. I had ordered two (another for the master bedroom), so we retested with a second model with identical results. Both produced a visible mist immediately above the unit, so they were 'working'.

This product has great features in theory. I was excited by the nano silver technology which in theory should make for a clean and low maintenance experience.

I returned this product and purchased a well known brand. While it didn't have all the flashy features of this Germ Guardian, it just plain works. I installed it 10 minutes ago and the room humidity has climbed more than 5%.

Bottom line. This product doesn't work. If you plan to purchase it despite these warnings, make sure you keep your receipt for the return.

This is a tiny humidifier! I bought it for my son as he suffers from bloody noses at night. We live in Arizona and it is very dry. We have the full size Germ Guardian on our side of the house and we like it but I thought the lights would bother the boys at night. So we ordered this. It puts out a small amount of steam and only lasts about 12 hours in our very dry house. But it seems to be enough for my boys. The unit does get warm and doesn't turn itself off when empty. It has a light inside which makes the unit glow a very pretty blue which is a great night light.

I've been using the Germ Guardian H1000 in a small bedroom (approx 150 sf). It doesn't really seem to work! I've measured the humidify before and after and it really doesn't seem to change significantly. It's small, quiet and cute but what's supposed to be most important is how well it works. And it doesn't.

I was first very impressed by the reviews I read and liked that this humidifier is so small.

However, it is surprising to me that no one has mentioned the missing research yet when it comes to the nano particles that not only clean the air this humidifier blows out but also may be a health concern!

"A 2005 study in Environmental Science & Technology showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were toxic to human lung cells in lab tests even at low concentrations. Other studies have shown that tiny silver particles (15 nanometers) killed liver and brain cells from rats. "They are more chemically reactive and more bioactive," Illuminato says, because of their size, which allows them to easily penetrate organs and cells. "Products should be at least labeled so consumers can choose whether they want to be part of this experiment.""

.

There is not a lot of information out there for consumers to really understand the possible impact of nano particles in the air (and in food and clothes), and in the meantime, this technology is being used like x-rays in shoe stores at the turn of the century!

As much as I wanted to like this humidifer, I also don't want to be part of a study in 10 years....good luck to everyone else!
