Vapor-Eze Clean Air 5000 Air Purifier

I bought this air purifier with the brand of COMEFRESH. It is very nice, because my breathing problem was solved completely.

In the day I use it on my car and in the night I use it in my bedroom.

Also it has 5 stage purification, which I never seen in other car air purifiers. I am thanksful from the designers of this product.

I read another review for this, which discussed about the UV lamp replacement. It is not a major problem, becaus its lifetime is 20,000 hours, which is about 7 years.

CRYSTAL QUEST® Countertop Disposable Single Multi ULTRA Water Filter System

I never got the chance to actually use the water filter as it had a defective part. When I contacted the seller, they told me they would send a replacement part. They never sent the part. I sent them three follow up emails and the seller did not have the courtesy nor the consideration to respond to any of them, so I returned the product.

This company doesn't have the first clue as to how to conduct Customer Service. I will purchase a water filter somewhere else.

Heaven Fresh HF 20 Air Purifier

I purchased this as a night light for my bathroom and thought that if it worked as an air purifier, all the better! However, it is wonderful as an air purifier it gives you a nice whif of fresh air! Doesn't do a very large space mind you. When you stop smelling fresh air, it's time to clean the collector!

Berkey BT2X2-BB Travel Stainless Steel Water Filtration System

I've had this filter over 6 months and really like it, it is not perfect, but I gave it 5 stars because I found it to be the best option for my needs and it works great. I got it when I moved from the country to an apartment in the city, with bad tasting water. After months of researching reverse osmosis, distillation, and other gravity and water pressure filters, I decided on this one and I'm glad I did.

Our water supplies are becoming increasingly more and more toxic as time goes by. Farms are using stronger chemicals each year as weeds and insects adapt to it and cities actually add chemicals like chlorine and fluoride which over the long term cause medical and mental disorders. A filter like this, when paired with the fluoride filters, is great at removing toxins.

This was not hard to setup, just follow the instructions closely and make sure wing nuts are tightened hard enough to prevent leaking. Be sure to setup the filters before going camping with it, as it requires water pressure to prime the filters. After setup make sure you run water through it a few times to clear any loose dust from manufacturing.

Pros:

Water tastes great, even at room temperature. None of the chemical taste from the tap! Great for coffee and tea.

No complex setup or plumbing needed.

Inexpensive in the long run compared to other systems. Main filter lasts a long time.

No electricity needed, can be used anywhere and is great for emergencies when clean water may be scarce.

Black activated charcoal filter removes a lot more than other inexpensive filters/pitchers, also can remove fluoride with optional add-on filters.

Leaves beneficial minerals in water.

Used by red cross and other disaster relief groups

Stainless steel design looks good and will last a long time.

Cons:

Not instant or convenient as faucet mounted filters, needs to be refilled. I refill it every other day, not a issue for just me. If you have 2 or more people you may want a bigger one.

Design could be more efficient, spigot is about an inch up from the bottom so you can't get all the water out of the tank using it but as long as you rotate water enough to keep the bottom filled it no a problem.

Should come with base spigot is low on it so it can't fill things in the middle of a table, I keep mine on the edge of the counter.

Can't see water level, you can get the optional meter but I just fill when water doesn't come out as fast.

Setup, cleaning, and replacing filters is not fool proof just make sure to follow instructions closely.

Overall I think this is a wise choice for those wanting purify water to get rid of bad taste, bacteria, viruses, and toxins. There are many less expensive systems and more expensive full house solutions but this offers a good balance and has the bonus of being good for emergency situations. The size is perfect if you're alone at a apartment but with two or more people I'd recommend getting the bigger models.

Eureka AA MicroAllergen Bag

I thought upon purchasing these bags that they were going to be the same bags as shown in the picture: Name Brand, 3M Filtrete Micro-filtration bags. I've bought these before and know them to be very high quality. The bags that were sent to me were not 3M, and instead were some off-brand made in PRC (China). This seems to me like bait and switch! The bags will probably work okay, I'm just not happy that I got cheap Chinese bags when I thought I was paying for 3M.

Danby DPAC8KDB Portable Air Conditioner

My wife and I have a room that faces west so we get a lot of warmth buildup in our room during the later hours of the day. This coupled with our apartment complex's failure to properly size the central air's compressor to our square-footage means our room is hot and the AC can't do anything to cool it below 80F any time of the day (Texas Summers). After a month of hot nights we decided to get a portable unit and now that we've got this we won't ever go back.

###If you own this unit and the temperatures aren't reading properly, insulate the exhaust hose with some foil from where it connects to the unit and about 2 feet after that###

Benefits:

Remote controlled

Easy to install kit into window. Easy to move as well with the built-on castor wheels

Cools great our room is maybe 15 x 15 and we can keep it at 73 degrees all night without an issue. Unit goes to 61 degrees.

Fan noise is pleasant we like white noise

Thermostat shuts compressor off once temp is reached, kicks back on when temp rises again.

Timer is easy to set and helps to save energy.

Energy usage is a lot less than running the central air all night (My KilaWatt meter gave me an average of 5.92kWh per night over 5 days or roughly $9 a month)

Doubles as a dehumidifier with 45 pint capacity. Comes with hose for draining. Don't use the hose if just using it as an AC unit.

Pulls a lot of dust out of the air. Just make sure you clean your filters about once a month.

Downfalls:

Blue led-lit display on the front is too BRIGHT. We cut a flap of thin cardboard and taped it to the unit along the top and sides using some electrical tape. Doing so prevents remote from functioning with unit though.

Hose comes out at a 90 degree angle from the unit making it difficult to place next to a wall. Clearance required is roughly 1 foot behind the unit to allow proper air flow.

Hose coming out the rear tends to get hot and gives off ambient heat. Since the units thermostat is literally right above the hose (located under the top rear filter on the upper right) the temperature readings can be off by as much as 10 degrees. At first we were having issues with the compressor running all night non stop. When I figured out what was going on I insulated the hose with some foil where the hose connects to the unit and about 2 feet more of the hose from there. Temps now read properly.

We bought our unit from Best Buy with my wife's employee discount so we paid quite a bit less than what Amazon is selling it for but I would have gladly paid the amount here for the pleasant sleep we now both enjoy.

Replacement Filters

According to the product description replacement filters should last up to 40 days but it depends on how heavy a smoker you are. I am a heavy smoker, approximately a pack a day and the filters lasts about 1 to 2 weeks. However, the ashtray does stop the smoke from filling the air when the cigarette is just sitting so I do recommend it. I also recommend getting a purifier to suck in the excess smoke you're blowing. Another thing is you would want to get some good batteries because these die out pretty quick also. When the batteries start dying, you'll still hear the motor running but the smoke stops getting sucked in. All-in-all I gave the product 3 stars because there are more pros than cons.

Whirlpool AP25030K Whispure Air Purifier

This AP250 is well put together, efficient, and ideal for a 320 sq foot or smaller room. It has very simple controls, 3 speeds and off, and it arrived ready to go -no need to do any set up, just plug it in and enjoy. Best of all, it's extremely quiet. On low, it's barely audible, on medium, it has a pleasant low pitched hum that serves nicely as white noise, and even on high, the fan is considerably louder, but not annoying or shrill. I've tried much smaller units that were so loud it was impossible to sleep, watch tv, etc, while they were on... so this one is a keeper. The fan is powerful and it blows air straight up to circulate (supposedly it will clean the room air about 5x an hour). The back of the unit is flat, so it can be put flush against the wall. I'm trying to find out if it's ok to run it in a horizontal position with the air blowing out vs up, but until I confirm that, I'm leaving it on the floor. The only negatives I've found so far are that it's quite large-bulkier than expected-so it can't be used on a table easily, but it's not too heavy to move around. The 3 prong cord is a bit shorter than I'd like, so you are limited to placing it in a location a few feet from a wall socket. (they say you are not supposed to use an extension cord). It does require replacement pre-filters and True Hepa filters, which could get costly.Otherwise, I've had it running full time for a few days and I'm very pleased with the results. Dust is starting to accumulate, and the air feels fresh, despite my neighbor's not so great cooking! In case you're wondering, there is no ionizer feature in this unit ... probably just as well, given recent negative reports about ionizers. ABT delivery was fast. Very pleased .

Holmes HM495-UC Ultrasonic Comfort Select Humidifier

I've owned this humidifier for over a year now and I am in the process of looking for it on sale to replace all my other ones in the home. It's filterless so I haven't had to worry about moldy smells or finding a filter in the middle of winter at ridiculous prices. Anywho, this one is in my kids' room and I keep it at a low setting and it gives off this soft hum that actually drowns out other home noises. I fill it up every third day and I haven't had problems with water spilling or any other malfunction (like I've read in other reviews). Once a month I clean the base with a clorox wipe and I'm set. I also add an anti microbial solution (from Kaz)every time I refill it and it helps keep it clean and odorless.

Oreck Air Purifier Tabletop XL Professional (Silver)

When I originally reviewed this product I gave it three stars. After using the product for over a year now I would take away two of those stars if I could.

I purchased three Oreck purifiers at the same time and notice very little difference in the air quality in my home.

Things I like:

The "silent" mode is great for sleeping (when the unit isn't popping and snapping). The design is attractive.

Things I don't like:

1) The rapid popping/snapping sound (like a bug zapper) the units make when the cell starts getting dirty. As another reviewer wrote the rapid popping scared his poor dog so badly that it wet the floor. The noise is VERY annoying. You either clean it right away or turn it off because the snapping persists until something is done. Oreck recommends thorough cell cleaning every two weeks, but between the three units I have to do "quick cleanings" on at least one of them almost every day. Quick cleaning requires pulling the main cell and running a Q-Tip over the wires in front of the collection plates.

2) The Oreck infomercial misrepresents the product; the consumer pays a healthy price for this purifier believing there will be no additional costs associated with the purchase. They advertise "No Filter Replacement" yet there is an "optional" charcoal odor absorbing filter that does need to be replaced if the unit is used to control odors. The cost of that filter at the Oreck site is $49.99.

According to my local Oreck store, the cell doesn't get real clean if only soaked in soapy water. The "optional" cell cleaner is strongly recommended to optimize the cell performance and extend the cell life. Each can of cell cleaner is $14.99. The local Oreck store recommended cleaning with cell cleaner, soaking in soapy water, and then cleaning again with more cell cleaner.

3) The collection plates in the main cell don't hold a lot of dust, and the odor absorbing filter is too small to catch much. I question how much dust is being pumped back into the air after it is "purified."

*Note: Several reviewers have suggested I use the units in extreme conditions. However, I live in a brand new residence; I don't smoke and have three cats so the operating conditions are far from extreme.

14 MONTH UPDATE:

After using the units for about 14 months, two of the three original machines I purchased died and are happily disposed of. The one remaining unit seems to be working well and actually goes weeks without popping and snapping. I no longer purchase the Oreck cell cleaner, following the advice of another reviewer I now use Clorox Cleanup.

I replaced one of the failed Oreck units with a Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier. I replaced the second failed Oreck with the Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air Purifier this unit is quiet and works so well I purchased two of them. They are all larger floor models that require some space, but they outperform the Oreck units in every way, and are a great value at Amazon. The charcoal pre-filters cost $9.00 to $10.00 to replace and are well worth it when I see the garbage the Honeywell pulls out of the air.

PE2-10R-32, 10,000 BTU Portable Evaporative AC

As noted by a previous reviewer, this unit shuts down its air conditioning function when the condensate reservoir fills up. The unit then goes into fan mode. To get air conditioning back, the user empties the reservoir using a little, almost-flat plastic pan (LAF pan) that, even with its low sides, just barely fits below the reservoir exit, which, itself, is situated under the heat exhaust hose and just a little above the floor. If you're on a rug, the reservoir exit has even less clearance, or none. In addition to the LAF pan, you must also bring a pail to the job, so you can repeatedly empty the LAF pan into the pail. Of course, if you tip the LAF pan slightly on its way to the pail, you spill some of its contents onto your floor or rug in the process.

This is a case of abominable engineering---design that wastes your time and patience each day you use the "air conditioner." You spend time on your knees moving water from the very bottom of the unit to a pail. Then you spend more time mopping up what you've spilled in the process.

If there is no other way for you to exist than with this portable unit, you may want to design a fiveor six-inch-high pedestal that holds the unit securely and allows you to place a bigger emptying vessel below the reservoir exit. (About half a gallon would be good.)

Better is to rethink the buying decision and return the unit.

Holmes HM630-U Cool Mist Tower Humidifier

In the past, I have been very disappointed with humidifiers. Either they leak or don't seem to do much of anything. However, this Holmes U Tower humidifier is sleek in design and has a few nice features such as:

The two filters are easily accessible at the base of the unit.

The tank is easy to handle, fill, and not too heavy to carry. If you have a small sink, you can always fill this slightly long tank in the bathtub or by using a teapot or water jug.

You have the option to set the humdifier manually on low, medium, or high humidity continuously or you can set it to automatically go on at low, medium, or high at a pre-set humidity level. If you use the automtic feature, then the unit cycles on and off like a thermostat would (although it does that too frequently for my taste).

In addition, the display shows the humidity of the room the unit is in, which is a nice feature.

The humidity level increases pretty fast, which is not typical of other units I've experienced.

According to the manual (I haven't tried this feature), you also have an hour timer option of setting the unit to turn on or off after so many hours. This means, for example, you can program it to turn off 5 hours later or turn on 5 hours later.

The unit has a small footprint (see cavaet below), so it doesn't take up much floor space.

With regard to the operation of the unit, you must remember to press and hold the on/off button to turn off the unit. If you unplug the unit, the humidifier returns to its factory default settings so you'll have to quickly reprogram it every time. This is exceptionally easy to do, but some might find this annoying.

One very nice feature that remains in operation when turning off the unit from the front panel but leaving it plugged in is that the humidity of the room is always displayed. Obviously, you lose this benefit when you unplug the humidifier from the wall outlet.

When setting the unit to the automatic feature that enables it to operate like a thermostat, the unit may cycle on and off every few seconds or minutes depending on the humidity of the room, which means you'll hear the fan cycle on and off repeatedly. If this is likely to disturb you while sleeping, then just put the unit into manual mode as I find you can never have too much humidity in the winter anyway. Of course, make sure you have enough water in the tank to run all night. The tank is rated to hold water for 36 hours of continuous use. However, I have only been able to get 10 hours continuous use on a tank at the highest humidity setting so keep this in mind when leaving the unit unattended.

I ordered the wick filters from the manufacturer because they are hard to find elsewhere; even though Wal Mart and other local stores carry the Holmes line, they don't necessarily sell all the filters for every model. The filters arrived promptly within a few days.

The box says the unit comes with a 5-year limited warranty but the pamphlet inside says a 3-year limited warranty. I called Holmes at 1-800-546-5637 and they confirmed it was actually a 3-year limited warranty, so don't be swayed by the box advertising.

There is one caveat that you might consider important, although this would not deter me from buying the unit. Since this unit is a tower model, it is easier to knock over (especially on an unsturdy surface such as carpet). You might want to take this into consideration in case you have young kids that run around or large pets that might wreck havoc in your house--meaning you may have to alter the placement of the unit to account for this scenario. My observation is that the chances of knocking this unit over are somewhat higher than the squat-to-the-floor models I'm so use to and which have been so ineffective.

Overall, I am very impressed with the unit compared to the four other humidifiers I've had previously. I had a Vicks humidifier, a different Holmes humidifier, a Hunter humidifier, and another one whose name I can't remember. I've always been less than satisfied, so this is a nice change. I've been so pleased with this unit that over six months later, I ordered a second one.

Update October 2010 Finally one of my unit's humidity sensors failed. However, since I've had this unit for several years that is to be expected. I can still use the unit to increase the humidity in the room but I just won't know what the humidity level is unless I look at my second humidifier.

Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

I've had the Cuisinart DCC-1200 for about a week now. I was hesitant to spend so much on a coffee maker but I'm happy to report it's well worth it. Sure, you can get other brands of coffee makers for under $25 if economy is the most important feature, but I've had those machines and I decided that, this time, a good cup of coffee was most important for me. This unit makes the best coffee I've had in a home or office machine and better than most coffee I've had in restaurants.

This coffee tastes smooooooth! I suspect the charcoal water filter is the reason for that. I also like the "shower head" design of the water spout. The water actually runs up a track onto the underside of the lid and is sprinkled over the ground coffee like a rain shower.

It's an attractive unit but it also looks like a serious coffee maker. This unit is no toy. It looks and feels solid. The carafe has a good solid feel and balance. The plastic parts (like the plastic carafe lid and handle) feel like good heavyweight plastic and are well molded. It's not the lightweight crappy plastic that cracks and discolors easily in the cheap coffee makers.

I like the 5 beeps when the coffee is ready. Now I can leave the kitchen and go clean or whatever and I don't have to keep running back to see if I can get a cup yet. I can hear the beeps. But if I really can't wait and want a cup in mid-brew, I can just remove the pot and pour a cup you've got a full 30 seconds to reinsert the pot, before you risk an overflowing filter.

I like the permanent gold-tone filter too. I always thought paper filters were a pain. They'd fold over sometimes and there'd be grounds in my coffee. But you can use paper filters in this machine if you want to. I just prefer the convenience of the gold-tone filter (top rack machine washable too).

It has an indicator light for cleaning -it says it's "self-cleaning" but really it's just a light telling you when you need to pour in a pot of water/vinegar and run it through to decalcify the unit. (I never thought to do that with my other units. Probably another reason my coffee wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.)

The low-medium-high setting on the hot plate is pretty nice too. And the auto-shutoff feature is great. I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the machine off.

The instruction booklet is very good and very thorough. Comes with a parts reordering form too.

What don't I like about this machine? It requires maintenance in that you have to change the charcoal filters. But actually I don't mind since I think they are the reason the coffee tastes so smooth, and they are very easy to change and not expensive

Also, the area in the top of the machine where you pour in the water is narrow but again this is just a minor inconvenience. Just have to pour a little carefully.

So really it's almost all positives with a couple of very minor negatives. I highly recommend this coffee maker.

Dryer Vent Vacuum Cleaner Attachment

This product is not terrible, but I am not sure if it is the best dryer vent cleaning system out there. I was reluctant to get a vent "brush" because I couldn't imagine how a long-handle brush could get all the way down the vent and pick up excess lint...I was pretty sure that a brush would miss areas. The most attractive feature about this product is that you can attach it to your vacuum hose and literally suck out all the lint and other dirt/dust/crumbs/hair/tissue/etc. that could not be caught in the lint trap. My dryer's lint trap is located on the top of my dryer...it is a small flip open top and you basically pull out the long, rectangular lint trap.

The product is basically as shown in the photo...although I imagine it is easier to clean a dryer like the one depicted in the photo. One third of the attachment is a hard plastic tube that fits over your vacuum hose attachment, and the rest is a soft plastic (bendable) hose that actually does reach all the way down my dryer's lint vent. I have also found that this vent vac hose can be used to vacuum other areas of the house that the traditional vacuum hose attachment cannot get to. Examples: under the refrigerator and other various appliances, a/c vents, in small crevasses or under furniture pieces that are close to the ground. The concept of this tool is great, but there is one problem.

When shipped by the distributor (item does not come from Amazon), they packaged it so badly that by the time I opened it up, the hose was very bent...to the point where it created two large creases on the soft plastic hose. I left it out in the sun for a while to soften up so I could re-shape it, but the creases still remained. While this isn't a huge problem, when using the vent vac hose, it has a tendency to close itself off at these creases...thus, airflow is stopped. I had to pull it out of the vent several times to re-shape it but it would continue to do so. After a while, I decided to put my hand down the dryer vent as far as possible to hold the plastic hose at the point where it would pinch itself off...and that did seem to help. It was pretty annoying, however.

All in all, a great concept and I suppose that if it is packaged/shipped with more care, the problem with the hose closing itself off would not happen. The price is right, however, and I was still able to get plenty of lint out that probably had been stuck in the dryer vent for years...so it did do the job, it was just a trying process at times.

Frigidaire FRA126CT1 12-000 Btu Window Air Conditioner

The 12,000 BTU unit is a bad choice for most people. The smaller 10,000 BTU unit is 33% less in cost and typically much more reliable. The bigger 15,000 BTU unit is not that much more than the 12,000 unit.

So why would you pay so much extra above the price of the smaller 10K unit, yet stop short of going all out for the 15,000 BTU unit? Only one reason window height. Beyond 12,000 BTU the case gets much larger, which means it won't fit in some window styles.

Price not important? Measure your window, and if it fits get the bigger 15K unit.

Price important? Then why would you pay so much more for this one over the 10K unit?

I've bought and run this size, but only in special cases where I was restricted by window size and had a really large room to cool.

Also to consider... here's the review I gave on another model that is relevant to this one:

------------------

Between family and rent houses I put all types and sizes to the test every year in the scorching Texas sun. Here's my experience:

If you want a solid window air conditioner, it really boils down to two choices: Frigidaire and LG. The current "sweet spot" on reliability/price/economy is the 10,000 BTU unit regardless of make/manufacturer.

Recently they've been making 12,000 & 15,000 BTU 110V (normal plug) units.

-The 12000 BTU truly is 20% stronger, but you pay 50% more here on Amazon.

-The 15000 BTU is a snowball tossing beast, but it's in a larger case that may not fit your window (height-wise) and doesn't have a long history on the market so we don't know how it will do long-term

LG Pros The 10,000 BTU LG is my "workhorse". Best value. Run them till they fail in 4 to 7 years, then swap `em out for another.

1) Better warranty (but really, who cares when it breaks because you're sitting there sweating)

2) Typically last an additional 2-3 years over other brands

3) An LG rarely just stops running it will degrade slowly over a season

4) They are more tolerant of neglect (e.g. dirty filters... can't rely on tenant to care for your stuff)

5) Better withstands being placed in harsher environments (direct sunlight, restricted airflow)

6) Lower "lemon" rate

Frigidaire Pros For family I prefer to run 12,000 & 15,000 BTU Frigidaires. They are a little nicer, and I consider it worth it even though they always break sooner. (Value and reliability aren't as important, but I do have to compensate by keeping a new boxed spare around because they always fail at the most inopportune moments. Most people can't do this.)

1) A little nicer looking

2) Better features

3) Quieter

4) Slightly easier installation

5) Circuit surge/drain on startup seems significantly less (think lights flickering when compressor comes on)

Other parting thoughts:

1) A thing to know about newer units: To obtain the higher EER (efficiency) ratings, they use finer design on heat exchanger fins. For the non-experts, this means smaller little spaces that get jammed up with dirt/mold/whatever resulting in a clogged/filthy/poorly operating unit much-much faster than your parents' old units. Appliance repair stores can service your window unit every year (clean it of filth) that will extend life by at least 2 years and sometimes much more. Of course this costs anywhere from $50 up, and the units are cheap, so it's your call whether to service or toss it.

2) The 10,000 BTU Frigidaire here on Amazon is a good buy w/Amazon Prime shipping. For other higher BTU models, as of this writing you'll be paying more but also know that right now with the national heatwave most box stores are sold out so you may not have a choice.

3) Something this heavy is a risky ship (versus store pickup). It might be shipped wrong-side-up, or dropped, or whatever. It's a risk you'll run so do so knowingly. (I seem to have pretty good luck w/Amazon shipped items.) The risk is offset, however, by advantages of buying from Amazon (store would take forever, you'd have to load it and bring it home, have to have a vehicle large enough to carry it, etc.)

4) Clean. Your. Filter. Every. Week. It will keep your little ice machine healthy.

5) Different stores have different models from the same maker. If they are made in the same year, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

6) Tempted to go cheap like a Haier? Don't.

7) Tempted to buy a 6,000 or 8,000 BTU model? Don't. Get the stronger unit. It will cool down the room faster. It will not need to work as hard as a weaker unit and last longer. It is built with some stronger/better key components.

Good luck and happy cooling.

Amway eSpring® Water Purifier Countertop Unit in-home water treatment

Expensive, but does a fantastic job of making your water clean and tasty.

Compared to the Shaklee, Crystal Quest, Aquasana, Zuvo, Pure, ZeroWater, Culligan, and Brita filters... it does just as good if not better in ALL areas.

Like I said, it is expensive, and the Shaklee probably provides the closest in removal of toxins and odor/taste, however the water flow on this Amway eSpring is superior.

It is a small difference in quality, depending on what your priorities are. Nevertheless, the options I would recommend would be this Amway eSpring, or the Shaklee BestWater.

Central Air A-C DraftShields® 12"x12" Cover

I had been using self made covers over the AC vents in the past. They were a pain to put up, and take down and looked really bad. These not only look nice, they are almost invisable. They are well made and should last for years. Also they were easy to install and easy to take down and store for the summer. I highly recommend them, even at the inflated price.

Soleus Air DP1-70-03, 70 Pint Portable Energy Star Dehumidifier

My basement runs about 80% humidity all year round and stays about a constant 62 as well.I have had this unit running for a month and it has done everything I have asked of it.The basement is 1200 square foot and this dehumidifier has lowered the humidity to 55% which is where I have it set.I have it hosed to a drain and it is fairly loud on the high setting.The only negative I would note is the bucket seems a little flimsy if you are opting not to hose it to a drain.Actually it is the handle of the bucket that is suspect.Overall very happy with this product.

Aprilaire Stock No. 10 Water Panel

great product. It needs to be replaced twice a year or more according to my heating system engineer. water draining through the filter eventually causes it to clog and breakdown due to the minerals present in the water. When that happens there is the potential for pooling water to be drawn into the plenum causing flooding. so keep a few as spares...This not a fault of the product but rather well water sediments that corrode the metal.

Kaz Incorporated V3900 Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier

We used to have a Crane duck humidifier (that worked really well) in our toddler's room, but it broke when I dropped it earlier this winter. I bought this Vick's humidifier as a replacement because it "Sanitizes the water with UV Technology while reducing up to 99.9% of bacteria, mold, and spores". This was a big selling point for me, and I thought it would be worth the cost. We have been using this humidifier for 2+ months, and I am very disappointed for the following reasons:

1. We need a humidifier because the winters are very dry here. My son's skin tends to be dry, his nose especially. It does not seem like this humidifier is helping at all. His skin and nose are just as dry. This humidifier puts out "invisible, moisture-balanced air", so it just feels like a cool fan blowing, and you can't actually see the mist. I'm not sure if being able to see (or not see) the mist makes any difference, but something isn't working because it is still too dry in his small room.

2. There are three levels: High (max moisture), Medium (moisture maintenance mode), and Low (sound sleeping mode). So yes, this humidifier is pretty quiet, but only on the "Low" setting. I thought I could just crank it up to "High" to put more moisture in the air, but on that setting the humidifier is too loud and my son is unable to sleep through it. So I tried "Medium", which is a little loud, but still not helping with the dryness. I have tried "High" during the day/"Low" at night, and also "Medium" all the time, but it is still too dry in his room.

3. We use a sound-only baby monitor in our son's room. When the humidifier setting is on "Medium" or "High", we are unable to hear anything through the monitor except the humidifier. It's not that big of a deal for us (because we don't really need to use the monitor for our toddler), but take this into consideration if you are buying this for an infant's room.

4. This 1-gallon tank is supposed to last for up to 24 hours. It does, but only if you leave it on "Low" all of the time. When left on "Medium", it has to be refilled every 16 hours, approximately.

On the plus side, it is easy to fill, and the reservoir does seem to stay cleaner than the Crane did. These are the only reasons that I did not give it 1 star. I really wished that this worked better for us because the idea of a humidifier that helps to reduce the amount of bacteria in the air is really appealing.

A0701B Bionaire Air Cleaner Dual Filter Cartridge

Dear SupplyBuy,

I recently only received one of the described "A0701B Bionaire Air Cleaner DUAL Filter Cartridge", as your product ad indicates.

However, your product description for A) "DUAL" Filter Cartridge, B) the higher price than others, and C) the picture illustrating two cartridges, all lead one to believe that I would receive TWO Filters, not just one.

I strongly feel, based on these 3 factors of your ad, that I have been deceived. I have shopped for HEPA filters online, used and recently purchased other such 4" thick HEPA type filters with identical construction on the front and back (of different sizes), and none have used the "Dual" filter description, other than to indicate a 2-pack, or a dual pack. Thus I feel I have been misled.

Either send me a second cartridge, or credit me half of the cost.

If this was not just a shipping mistake, you need to change your product description to much more clearly indicate that your customer is getting "only ONE filter per package", and/or that "THIS IS NOT A TWO-PACK". To avoid further unintentional deceptions to your customers.

This is my SECOND or THIRD ATTEMPT to contact you with No reply.

Thank you for your understanding.

Jack

I bought this to unclog my bathroom sink and bathtub drains. Chemical drain openers hadn't worked. This product worked like a charm. I couldn't be more pleased.

BISSELL Auto-Mate Hand Held Vacuum

This is a really nice vacuum! It seems like they market this for the "auto" however it can do so much more. Comes with different attachments depending on what you want to use it for. It's very small, yet has a lot of power. The actual "hose" is long enough to allow you to put the vacuum down and reach places. However as I said the vacuum is small and light. The on/off switch is a red rotating button on the front of the handle (you can see it in the picture).

It's easy to empty the dirt from inside. Just push the button and off it comes. However I'd advise doing that outside as depending on what you have inside, you may end up getting the house dirty again!

What I like about this is it's small enough to put just about anywhere. And As most of us do, we snack in the room watching TV. Crumbs get all over. This is small enough to pull out and do a quick vacuum job on the chair, etc.

Keep in mind this is NOT what you would want to vacuum the floors of your house. It's for small jobs, the auto, etc.

Also it comes with a long electric cord. And a wrap for the cord when not in use.

Bissell has a really nice product here.
