Great Humidifier...and we have had 3!

by Jenn R 2008-03-17

We had our first child in September of 07. We started using a humidifier only at night from the day she was born. We had tried 2 different vicks brand cool mist humidifiers. Whether it is the water in our house (hard? soft? prone to mold?) whatever it was it made red mold in the humidifier grow CONSTANTLY! I would wash the humidifier filter out EVERYDAY and every other day I would rinse out the unit itself. Once a week I would spray bleach/water solution on it and let it air dry. To no avail, it would get mold. This humidifier has passed the test! It works great! Every day i rotate the filter and after 3 months of daily use it has started to get moldy so we will be replacing it. Every other day I fill the unit up and rinse it out. It works WONDERFULLY!! It adds enough white noise to my daughters room that she doesn't hear every little noise going on in the house, it does not disturb her sleep at all! I highly suggest buying this product!

How do we say Jet engine

by Tressie 2008-03-08

I have had many humidifiers through the years even larger multi-area units and never one as loud. It says ultra quiet.... Only if you are comparing it to a jet engine.... The first night it was running I had family members coming to my room asking what the awful sounds was... And it was on the lowest setting. The highest setting was way too loud but on low it didn't really give out any mist.... That is what a humidifier is suppose to do. I wish they didn't make you rate this with any stars... it would be better if they let you put in numbers...Like negative 5

Worked for Me

by David B. Eck 2008-02-26

I bought this unit for myself to combat dry indoor air during the winter. I would not describe this humidifier as "whisper quiet," but it's not really noisy either. I checked the humidity with a hygrometer and it took a few days, but I soon began seeing the results I hoped for. I am using about 1/2 gallon of distilled water per day. The unit is easy to fill and clean.

One note: Don't expect to see actual "mist" coming from the unit, but be assured, it's working. They should just call it a "Cool Humidifier" and leave out the "Mist" part.

As for the user who said she couldn't find filters, a two minute google search found them at the Learning Curve (manufacturer's) website:

[...]

I agree that it would be nice if amazon.com would carry the filters, but they not "impossible" to find on-line and run about 5.50 each, plus shipping.

Where are the filters?!

by EG 2008-01-30

I hate to buy a replacement humidifier since I bought this one less than a year ago, but I can't find replacement filters! The original filter mildewed and I can't find another. Buyer's remorse.

A Bit Loud

by Wendy 2008-01-12

Based on other reviews I chose this humidifier expecting it to be very quiet. It was actually quite loud so we returned it and have purchased another. If not for the bedroom, perhaps it would have been ok. We turned it off before we got a sense of how well it humidified as we could not sleep.
