Crane Ee-8064 Crane Germ Defense Humidifier

This is my 6th small humidifier. This time I was determined to find an ultrasonic model that featured an automatic shutoff, a rotating mist outlet & digital controls. While they are such practical features, you'd be surprised to learn how hard that combo is to find! I came across this one from Crane a big name in plumbing fixtures. As I hadn't heard of them making humidifiers before, I was leery. You know how it can backfire when you buy something that isn't a mainstream name or model? That won't be the case with this machine.

I am totally & pleasantly surprised. It arrived on time, well-packed & was intuitive to get started. It's SO quiet! The reason that I chose this one over a quite comparable Holmes or Honeywell is because it includes an ionizer a feature that one would normally need to purchase a separate air purifier to have. It also offers BOTH cool & warm mist. While I don't expect to use the warm mist (cats,) it's good to know that it's there. This is by far the QUIETEST humidifier of the six that I have had!

Unless you're independently wealthy & can afford to run it with distilled water, you will need the optional demineralization filter to avoid the white powder deposit left by hard water. So just go ahead & buy one.

This machine is a real winner in every way. And oh, btw, did I mention that is QUIET????????

Shark Lift-Around Pod Vacuum

I just received this item. I unpacked and used it on my fridge compressor. It seems to work well. My complaint is about the power brush. I was putting it away and the power brush was attached to the hose. As I put it down, it flipped down and hit the ground. A very minor fall, but the power brush broke apart into pieces. It looks like I might be able to put it back together, but who knows. There aren't any instructions on how to do that.

**UPDATE** I just wanted to add that both Amazon and the manufacturer were fantastic in dealing with this problem! After contacting Euro-Pro directly, they are going to send me a replacement power brush. So, I updated my rating to a 4 star.

Metropolitan Vac 'N' Blo Compact Vacuum

METRO VAC' N BLO... this is THE IDEAL TOOL for cleaning any automobile!!! It'll suck up anything just as the manufacturer promises. It more than blows, IT JET BLASTS warm DRY AIR that'll blow my wifes long hair back at over 10ft away!!! This is great for cleaning automotive air ducts. And if you really care about [your] vehicle (inside as well as out) and want to keep it running cool at its best AND easy to work on then I highly recommend the Vac' N Blo. Carefully wash your [cooled] engine, then BLO it dry. Do this quarterly [or more frequently for heavy use vehicles] and you wont regret it. Just use common sense and be sure to dry every engine part after rinsing, especially the electronic components Before starting the engine.

----------------------------- Now the reason for ranking 4 out of 5. ---------------------------------------------

The hoses and accessory tools are not pliable damage free plastics! In my opinion the standard hose length should be 12ft.. The included 6' is too short for some locations and the optional 24' is overkill. I think METRO could afford better quality in every step of manufacturing not just in the main motor and cannister.

I think this product would be an easier sell if the total quality were addressed.

It should also include a resting platform (not at an additional price for one with wheels) or better still (and cheaper) weld a couple of simple stoppers to the underbelly...

That's my opinion -Excuse my enthusiasm. NO REGRETS !!!!

These were just what I needed to make my range hood seem clean(er). I'm vegetarian, but these filters still get grimy. These fit perfectly and I have extras.

Sebo Canister Vacuums - air belt K3 Canister

This is my first review on Amazon. I have been guilty of reading other reviews but not bothering to write my own. I just got off the phone with Sebo support though and wanted to express how completely happy I am with their products and support. I am posting this review here as the listing for the Airbelt C3.1 does not include the powerhead.

I am the type of person that over-researches everything I buy, to a fault. We bought our Sebo Airbelt C3.1 canister vacuum with the ET-H powerhead in or around the year 1999, and have used it continually for the 12 years since. I recall at the time, people teasing us a couple in our early 20's for spending 700+ at the time for a vacuum. Ever since though, everyone who has used it has remarked at how quiet and nice it is. I always preferred to buy something nice that lasted, than to continually have to replace junk, and Sebo fits the bill of quality built to last.

I have recently had two problem with my Sebo and have been absolutely blown away by the customer service at Sebo. First, a couple months back, we had a house sitter who managed to hyper extend the wand and stretch the internal cable to the point that it later bound and snapped. I contacted Sebo, explained the problem, told them that it was long out of warranty but wanted to buy a replacement part. With out any hesitation, they asked for my address and sent the replacement part to me, free of charge.

Last week, my power head started to make a noise and then the motor started to spin freely with no movement from the roller. I took the power head apart by inspection, and found that a drive belt had snapped. This part, a $6 belt, was quick and easy to replace.

The problem I have with most products sold today, is that they are meant to be thrown out when they break. Most reviews are based on recently purchased items that have not been used significantly. Every mechanical machine wears eventually and the big test to me is can it be repaired and how easily. Sebo vacuums always struck me as military-grade they are superbly designed and most maintenance can be done without tools. In my experience, in probably at least 1000 hours of use, I have had two maintenance issues and both have been solved with 100% satisfaction.

Although I will never need another vacuum, I whole heartedly recommend them to others.

BestAir 1T-6 Humiditreat Extra Strength Humidifier Water Treatment 32 oz.

I live in the Las Vegas Desert with some of the worst water quality. My Vicks Humidifier is a must but the water causes the filer to build up with what is probably a colorful mixture of minerals. So far this is my analysis. It does seem to slow down the filter calcification that I used to scrape almost weekly. But that unnecessary pink dye makes this product to where you must handle it as if it were bleach. It stains everything including the machine its used in. I accidentally knocked the bottle over resulting in a hard time cleaning a difficult stain on my carpet and not much had spilled. Ill use this up but most likely will never buy it again because of the dye. Instead I'll search for another product with the same active ingredients but clear in color. The spill was my fault 100% but I can't imagine what's in there that made the color settle so quickly.

Hunter 30928 Replacement Filter

I bought the Hunter air purifier for my basement. The unit itself was about $60 and the replacement filters are about $30.00, every three months. So, it is rather like a printer that is cheap to buy, but they get you with the replacement of the ink.

The air purifier works well with these filters.
