Humidifiers Reviews

We've gone through 2 of these expensive units at this point. We have hard well water and with daily use this unit lasts about 3 months and then there are so many mineral deposits on the membrane that it no longer produces vapor.

I've tried a number of humidifiers over the years, and this is by far the best. It is a good size for a bedroom. I use it every night and for an hour or so during my son's nap each day, and I end up refilling the tank every day or so, depending on how dry the air is. I wouldn't want to leave the water sitting in there any longer, anyway. I like the smaller-sized water reservoir, as it's not too heavy when filled and it fits easily under the bath tap. The controls are easy to understand and use. I like being able to see and direct the mist. I like its thermostat and auto-shutoff. I like that it can deliver either warm mist or cool mist. I haven't had any problems with leaks or soaking the floor, as mentioned in another review. I have it on top of a chest of drawers, with a cloth placemat underneath it. I like that it tells you when it needs cleaning. It is expensive, but I don't regret the purchase and would recommend this item.

I've reviewed and tried several home humidifiers and find the model 7133 a strong contender for 'best of breed'. Since I use it in the bedroom, it had to be very quiet; which the 7133 is. It holds about 2 gallons of water which on a mid-setting both for the humidistat and the output control keeps the room (about 15' x 15') at 40% humidity (quite comfortable). On filling of 2 gallons (slightly less since the filter takes up a bit of room) runs for 24 hours at this setting. Since I only use in the evenings when I'm home, it lasts for 2 days. It also seemed to me that if you want a humidifier with a larger capacity, that it gets pretty heavy lugging that much water. 2 gallons seemed like a good compromise volume.

The filter has to be changed every 3-4 months, depending upon frequency and length of use. The unit comes with 1 filter. The silver stick that also comes with it, controls bacterial growth for up to a year. Materials and constructions are of excellent quality.

I checked out several reviews of the product; looked at an older Consumer Reports on humidifiers (it didn't rate this manufacturer), but it's report on other brands didn't really impress me, since so many don't seem to come with a humidistat (an important requirement in my view, since it helps keep the humidity level steady). I purchased it for $134.95 at a local retailer, and on-line prices seem comparable. So far, it appears to be fair traded. I highly recommend this product.

I have been searching QUITE humidifier before purchasing this. The reason that I purchased this model is its "Quite Mist" mode was emphasized to be very quite. However it is still loud. I have to turn it off while sleep.

I've been using this unit in my bedroom for about 4 months and find that it performs as advertised (humididifies well, easy to fill and maintain). It is not "whisper quiet." However, if you can tolerate a low whir, you should be fine with this noise. On Low speed, it is probably quieter than a desktop fan. High speed is another matter entirely, but I have never had to resort to this setting.

I've using cool mist humidifier for years and this is the best so far, quite and easy to clean. I use it on medium level and it is good enough for a large bedroom and very quiet compare with others that I been used before.
