Lasko® Natural Cascade Humidifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third humidifier in as many months. I tried an expensive ultrasonic with a filter but it still produced a grotesque amount of white dust. I then tried a warm mist unit but the humidistat did not work at all and the boiling chamber quickly became caked with mineral deposits that were hard to remove.
The Lasko unit is well designed and built reasonably well for the money. White dust does not seem to be a problem and the circulation of the water seems to prevent bacteria growth. It does require cleaning but they all do.
I have not used it long term, but it seems be a great product in the two weeks I have used it. The replacement filters are reasonably priced and available directly from the company (there is a sticker with their toll free number next to the refill cap which was thoughtful).
I sent an email to the company with a question and they responded promptly.
I am giving the unit five stars because it is amazingly hard to find a humidifier that even approaches acceptability. I was looking for a humidifier that does not produce white dust, has a functioning humidistat, and is not a germ factory. This unit seems to meet the criteria.

Zooper Boogie All Terrain Baby Stroller - Color: Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son has loved this stroller from day one. We just took him to disneyland for the weekend (he is four months old), and he never complained about being in it, he even slept in it one night for about 7 hours! It is very plush and smooth and I LOVE that the front wheel can swivel or stay put. And the handle is adjustable which is great since my husband is so much taller then I am. It is simple to manuver. Has all accesories you coulde eveer need (except the cup holder which doesn't bother me). The part that I don't like about this is the weight, over 30 lbs! It is difficult to get up into the back of our suv, and takes up a ton of room (it's a good thing we got the suv and sold my sentra). It barely fits in my sisters car truck, and only does so while scraching the bumper in the process! It has also taken my husband and I a few months to get the hang of opening and closing it smoothly. The basket is all but impossible to access if the seat is reclined. If it weren't for the fact that my son LOVES this stroller and that I do to once it is out of the car and opened up, I would take it back. But I am keeping it for those days when I know we are going to be gone all day and I want Myles to be comfortable. For other shorter days, I am getting a lightweight stroller that I can just throw in and go. So if weight and space are not an issue for you, I would definitly reccommend this stroller! (I also love the fact that I never see anyone else with it, but always get compliments on it because it is so unique and different)

Tike Tech Single Trax360 Stroller - Pacific Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose to write this review in response to all the negative ones. My son and I used this stroller as a jogger (more than 40 miles a week, every week for a year and a half), we regularly used it on sandy beaches and up and down old, stone donkey paths, it traveled across the Atlantic with us 5 times on numerous cars, busses, boats, airline terminals. The thing never gave in. True, the lower basket is pretty much useless except for small, light items. The front wheel did from time to time "chatter" but it always corrected itself. As for the wheels, well, I ended up replacing all three tires over the course of the year and a half that we owned it. However, they had seen a lot of miles, so its to be expected. I did use a regular tire pump to reinflate. Had no problems with that. I didn't see the adjustment straps as a con. I didn't feel that they were difficult to manipulate. All things considered, this was a very good, reliable, true jogging stroller. It eventually broke at the plastic part where the handle connects to the stroller itself. It just snapped one day going down the old donkey path. Given that this thing had been tossed around like I'm sure it had over the trips back and forth overseas, by the bus drivers, in and out of the car so many times (we generally never went anywhere without it) I feel that it was awesome to get the use out of it that we did. Most importantly, had it not seen so much wear and tear, I'm certain this would have been the only stroller we would through the duration of my son's childhood. Now we have purchased another, different stroller. I decided to give the Joovy Zoom a try because it has the extended canopy and added rain shield as part of the purchase price. That is the one thing about the Tike Tech 360 I would have changed: too small a canopy. I hope the Joovy Zoom is as durable as this stroller and that we are as satisfied as we were with the Tike Tech. For the record, I only decided to purchase the Joovy Zoom to try something different. Its sometimes nice to change things up. All that said, this is NOT a bad stroller. Quite a good one for its price, purpose, and durability.

Honeywell Top Fill Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2nd humidifier purchase this week (the first being a dud and different model - other review up shortly) I'm very happy with this unit. It did cost more than the other model, but this one works great! I needed it for my bedroom, plugged it in filled it up and an hour later the room felt great. I like the front fill, so no reservoir to take to the sink, lug back and try to flip in without spilling water.
I noticed a difference the first night using this unit. The wick filters already do seem a bit dirty after just a few days, so I will edit my review if need be re: filter changes. The manual says wicking should be changed 1-2 months depending on water quality, usage & dust. I have 3 dogs & 3 cats, so we'll see about the dust factor
Pros: really puts out humditiy. I did use a hydrogemeter to test it
runs almost 1 1/2 days on low setting before water needs to be added
easy to set up/use
no mist spray to damage furniture/floors
nice water trickle sound, not loud
unit self-regulates humidity according to levels in room
works well in larger bedrooms/living rooms and still compact designCons: night light is bright blue, doesn't bother me, but may bother some
water noise. Again, I like a running water sound, but others may find it bothersome at night
possible frequent wicking/filter changesA clear winner in my book, does what it's supposed to do and does it quickly! I've had great nights sleep since this purchase.

Evaporative Humidifier Stainless Steel 15 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Delonghi Always Dry Dehumidifier 40-Pint Capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is a small in-line filter that appears to be molded plastic and it eventually fills up with sediment and then the unit spills over the top and doesn't pump out the way it did when new. I've written to DeLonghi to ask for a better filter system that can be thoroughly cleaned by the consumer without any tools. Some sort of mini-screw-on filter would be perfect. Otherwise, it is quite and well-made, but the filter is a poor design.
