helps asthmatics a great deal
This product is more energy-efficient than many, which is a big plus for an item that many (like me) leave going 24 hours a day, due to bad allergies and asthma.These have helped my mom a great deal at her place, though she did have to return one unit that developed oily spots inside, then became noisy.

It's a component
The filter itself traps a lot of dust, especially when used with the prefilter.However, it is part of the overall system works with two specific models, therefore, shortcomings of the filter are shortcomings of the entire assembly.The only problem I have with the filter itself is that it is very expensive.That is why I am giving it four stars instead of five. ...

Best product for dry, stuffynoses
Saline nasal gel is longer-lasting than just plain saline. The humidifying effect reminds me of a cool, misty, spring morning. Usually lasts all night; in extremely dry environments you may need to use a bit more than one application during the night.

This gel is also very useful on long airline flights where your nose gets overly dried-out -- just apply a little dab under each nostril every few hours and you'll breathe more easily the whole flight! ... Read more

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT...IT IS REALLY BAD
I bought this humidifier in an emergency for my son who had chest congestion/cold/flu symptoms..from K-mart..and it was the biggest mistake of my life.First of all, the instruction tells you to clean the wick every two weeks OR as necessary..and it is true.. the WICK is disgusting.It was not even ONE week of my using it that the wick got really smelly.It says to soak it in vinegar and water BUT after you do that.. it will just start smelling again..and get really dirty.Also.. the EVAPORATIVE system.. is a SHAM!!!it does not evaporate any of the water sitting beneath the filter..and the filter will still stink and get dirty.The humidistat does not even work..it stays on really humid..even when the room is freezing.Bottom line... DO NOT.. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME BUYING THIS PRODUCT..IT IS EXPENSIVE FOR NOTHING..AND DOES NOT WORK. ... Read more

Product Description

This efficient air humidification technology of the Air-O-Swiss 7133 humidifier uses high-frequency vibration to generate a micro-fine mist. A fan blows the mist into the room where it immediately evaporates. When operated with the pre-heating function, the water is heated to 180°F before it enters the nebulizer chamber. The mist exits the appliance at a comfortable temperature of 100°F. This has the advantage that the room temperature will not fall, and additionally the water can be kept cleaner.

Worth It
I had been pricing and comparing the substantial number of humidifiers on the market and I am glad I settled on the Air-O-Swiss. Despite its higher price, I am quite satisfied with its functions, control, design and specifically, its quiet operation. I was looking to pay between $70-150 for a quiet, low-maintenance model to add humidity to my [very dry] 10x12' bedroom. I purchased it at a local store for the same price as listed on Amazon; I am glad I was able to see [and hear] this model in operation.

There is NO sound, even at the highest setting. I'm a light sleeper and cannot fathom a bedroom appliance that even approaches a dull hum.

The visible mist generated by this model is pleasant for me and my pets.

I have been refilling each morning, as I have had the device on a high setting and running nonstop.The compartment becomes about half-empty after a full day at this setting. Refilling is a snap.

The ability to have cool and warm settings is a big plus, since the jury is still out regarding the negatives and rewards of either mode.

The system has been running clean and I am certain this will continue to be the case with a modicum of effort. The cost of the filter and the silver stick is not intimidating and the recommended three-week maintenance check is reasonable.

The design is quite fetching. Minimalist and fetching.

I have it sitting on the floor and there is no dampness on the carpet as mentioned by owners of other brands. This tells me that this model is doing a good job of propelling the mist into the air.

My roommate recently paid $29 for a smaller Holmes humidifier. The Holmes is downright deafening and I am sure she would have paid the difference for an Air-O-Swiss. Silent operation is really important.

The only possible shortcoming is the hygrometer. It is not entirely intuitive: the machine is to shut off after the desired humidity percentage is met, yet I have yet to see the model shut itself off. Turning it off manually is not a big deal.

I took a big step purchasing an air purifier, but this purchase has made a significant difference in my bedtime and bedroom comfort. I've had some winter nights with seriously labored [allergy, smoke and pet-related] breathing but I find this device has given me a little peace of mind and tangible change.

High cost, but has its benefits
This humidifier is about $100 more than comparable warm mist humidifiers.It's also important to note that you'll have a minimum of $40 in annual operating cost you don't have with a warm mist humidifier from replacing the antibacterial stick ($25, annually) and the water filters ($15, needed every 2-3 months to prevent the humidifer from spewing white dust, which was a common problem with earlier ultrasonic humidifiers).Still, I think it's worth it for these advantages:
1.Very quiet operation, no "boiling" sound (though still has occasional burble from water dropping down)
2.High output.
3.Looks good.
4.MOST IMPORTANT: relatively easy cleanup.You can clean this thing every two weeks, and it's just a matter of rinsing it out & brushing the ultrasonic membrane.No weekly descaling & disinfecting with bleach that's proscribed for the warm mist humidifiers. I'll pay the $40 a year to save hassle & time cleaning.

Do agree it should have a digital hygrometer for the price.Also it doesn't seem to be any more accurate than other cheaper humidifiers I've owned (measuring with a separate hygrometer) but nor does it seem to be less.

Recommended.

Humidifier Bling
I am very happy with this purchase. I can't imagine another unit outperforming this one.
Pros:
1)High design; the prettiest, sleekest humidifier you'll find. Everyone who sees it compliments me on it and it's become a very popular acquisition.
2)High output: produces a thick, steady stream of humidity. When on highest setting, outpaces volume of other cheaper units.
3)Great customer service: I had a hairline fracture in the water tank and the Air-O-Swiss folks replaced it within days; it was very fast service and completely hassle free.
Cons:
1)After 2 weeks, I discovered a fracture in the water tank causing water to leak out onto the table.
2)No hygrometer/hygrostat display so there's no way to know for sure what degree of dryness you need to compensate for.
3)Water tank is a little on the small side and needs to be refilled often - Very often if highest volume setting is used.

Cool Technology, but would love a digital display
I don't know about you?When I pay this much I'd love to see a digital display of room humidity and be able to delay start of shutdown.Otherwise, nice system. ... Read more

Features

• Room air cleaner circulates and cleans air with no motor, no fan and no noise. Key features include absolutely silent operation; proven efficient air cleaning; odor reduction; no replacement filters; low energy use; lightweight, attractive housing; continuous air cleaning.
• Our tests at leading research centers show that Ionic Breeze does a great job capturing particles like pollen, dander and other airborne allergens and irritants. The affordable Quadra Compact has been tested at America's leading allergy research center, prominent universities and independent labs to confirm its efficient trapping of airborne particles.
• With Ionic Breeze, there are no messy, expensive filters. Quadra is an electrostatic precipitator that charges airborne contaminants and traps them on oppositely charged stainless steel collectors that wipe clean with a cloth. Quadra Compact is powered by only 6 watts. Compared to high-watt HEPA machines, it pays for itself in less than a year.
• Cleans 24-7! All air cleaners should run continuously but noisy fans and expensive 200-watt power demands make that impractical with those big HEPA machines. Silent, low-energy Ionic Breeze, in contrast, is designed to run continuously, especially in the rooms where you spend the most time at home.
• Quadra is 19" tall and 4 1/4 lbs, with almost the same cleaning power as the larger Quadra. Uses only 6 watts. Extra collection grid available (SI939). Plug into 3-prong outlet. 5-year warranty.

Great product for allergy sufferers.
I bought one Ionic breeze for my bedroom and noticed an immediate improvement in my allergy problems throughout the night and woke up less congested in the morning. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about what this product has done for me. I recently had the opportunity to purchase a cheaper refurbished unit and jumped on it, and placed that one in the living room.The unit in the bedroom seems to collect normal dust-like gray fuzz. But the living room unit must collect all the soot that comes off of the candles I burn, and the collectors are always covered with black grime.So I can really observe not only its collecting properties, but the difference in the material it collects in each room.I can't speak for why this product doesn't work for others, but it has definitely made a difference in the air quality of my apartment and helped me with my indoor allergy problems. Perhaps the negative reviews written here by people who admittedly don't even own an Ionic Breeze, are written by employees of the competitors?

Absolutely useless
That is not my opinion but consumer reports, who tested this piece of junk scientifically.In 19 hours of testing in a sealed chamber, Ionic Breeze couldn't even remove the effect of 1/8th of a cigarette.No one should buy this.

buyer beware
This "air cleaner" does not actually clean the air.Rather it oozes a constant stream of ozone.What's ozone you ask?It's an unstable molecule which readily collapses and releases free radicals.Think of free radicals as little pac-men, gobbling up anything in their path: germs, lung tissue, anything and everything organic.So, while this little beauty doesn't actually clean the air at all (see consumer reports), it can, in fact, horribly irritate you eyes and lungs as it did mine.So why the good reviews?Effort justification.People spend over $100 dollars on this piece of junk and it would create too much psychological dissonance for them to admit that they got taken.Much easier to just pretend that it works.That and employees from Sharper Image writing reviews themselves.Please, if you stumbled across this review, do yourself a favor and at least look at the Consumer Reports before you make a decision.And then, if you're smart, buy something else.

Ionic Breeze Quadra is AMAZING
I have to say that the Ionic Breeze Quadra product is AMAZING.And I'm not kidding.I am now a regional spokeswoman of sorts!I have really bad allergies, and my sister brought hers over for me to try, because I was remodeling my kitchen, and there was a lot of dust and other stuff in the air, and I was SO impressed, that I ended up ordering not ONE, but TWO of them.

The product did not get very good reviews through Consumer Reports, but here is my story.I was a TOTAL disbeliever.I saw the commercials (INFOMERCIALS), and my sister was using hers and bragging...but I thought....oh, it can't be THAT good!NOTHING ever works like they say it does on TV!But...I plugged in my sister's Quadra, and approx. 3-4 hours later when I returned to the room it was in, the room had that fresh air, open window smell to it!And this is saying a LOT, given the fact that I have two LONG HAIRED Chow Chow dogs, AND I'm in mid-remodel with dust and dirt flying everywhere.It has cut down my use of Claratin-D, AND my Kleenex consumption is down, too...because I was forever sneezing because of all the dust and allergins in the air.

So, in closing, I LOVE this product!!If the darn thing didn't cost so much, I'd order one for EVERY room in my home! If you have allergies and/or asthma like I do, this product is essential.

Not impressed
This product makes the room smell great.It's the "after-the-rain" kind of smell (due to the ionizer, I'm sure.)

The collection plates do gather a bit of gunk, but I don't know that it's enough.I still get a lot of dust build up on furniture.And during allergy season, I'm still stuffy and I still sneeze a lot.

I bought this product because I liked the fact that it didn't use a lot of electricity and it was silent.It is for the most part silent.It needs to be cleaned every day or so, even if the clean light isn't on.If you don't clean it, you get a clicking static sound, which is kind of annoying.Especially if it starts in the middle of the night.

I would not suggest buying this air purifier.It's definitely not worth the money.

Useful for tube feedings
My elderly father cannot swallow anything by mouth and has a feeding tube.Because he takes acetaminophen 3 times a day, i looked for an adult strength liquid format in order to have one less pill to crush (my hand is getting sore from crushing all his pills!).This relatively new product, adult strength liquid Tylenol, really met our needs.

The only complaint i have is that the cost is high:for us, at 0.5 ounce per dose, the ($4.99) 8 oz. bottle will only last for 16 doses, at a cost of $0.31 per dose. This bottle will only last just over 5 days. I wish this was available as a generic product to lessen the cost.

Exceptionally quiet, this big air cleaner is recommended for closedrooms up to 488 square feet in size. It has four speeds, a lighted,digital-display control panel that monitors filter performance, a remote control, andtwo filters. One of the filters is true HEPA, meaning it's at least 99.97percent effective in trapping extremely tiny particles (as small as .03 microns)and removing smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, and molds from theair. The other is an activated charcoal filter that removes odors from the airand captures large particles before they reach the HEPA filter, prolonging thelatter's life.

TRULY THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
Terrible product.NOISY - even in SLEEP MODE.The unit claimed it came with a remote control - it didn't.The LCD doesn't work properly - when i replaced the filter, then the LCD stopped functioning COMPLETELY _ when i called customer service a woman named LISA who said she ran the entire BIANAIRE operation, told me that the most she could do to fix the unit is to CHARGE ME to SHIP IT to her - before her, the person was trying to fix my unit by reading me the owner's manual over the phone - honestly - RUN FROM THIS COMPANY - instead of shelling out hundreds only to be hung out to dry.THis is truly the worst product on the market - and the VERY WORST customer service i've ever encountered on ANYTHING.

BAP 1300 - Don't Buy It
After waiting too long for Amazon to take this unit into stock I finally cancelled my order as we were well past the start of allergy season.I therefore purchased from Bed, Bath & Beyond... anyway, it didn't matter as for the results.My first unit I tried the digital filter usage display stopped displaying some of the digits and I could therefore not make out the true reading.So I ordered a replacement, this 2nd unit didn't work upon arrival.The LCD power came on... but the fan motor inside did not work.I'm really surprised Bionaire would have such poor product quality as to allow these types of problems to go out the door!

Don't order this one
I ordered this product around Jan/Feb 2005 from AMAZON. It has not been shipped yet. It is delayed to Jun17. I am not sure I can get it at that time. Amazon may delay for another one, two or more months.

Horrible quality control...they simply stop working.
Here's the letter that I sent to Bionaire...I've yet to receive any "satisfaction" (i.e., my money back or a unit that works).

"Where to begin....I originally purchased a Bionaire BAP1175 unit from Amazon.com.The unit worked but I could not get it to reliably go into the Sleep setting.After several weeks I decided to return the unit and get a replacement.You sent out the second unit, and that unit worked great...for two days, after which it completely died, and hasn't worked since, and this, after having waited for nearly a month for the replacement.I decided to be restrained when I called, and spoke with a very nice customer service rep., who agreed to send me out a replacement, 2nd day air.The replacement was a BAP1300.This unit worked fine, for one day as well, and now won't turn on.I believe that there must be a fundamental flaw in the design of these units.I am sending this letter as a last attempt at receiving some satisfaction.If I don't reach a satisfactory resolution I will feel compelled to search out every consumer review site on the Web, and post my negative opinion of Bionaire and your air filter products.It's a FAN for goodness sake!!I have to say I'm suprised I've had this much trouble.The unit itself seems quite sturdy, it just simply doesn't work."

Stay away from this product, if you don't want to experience endless frustration.

Strung out by Amazon
I can't comment on the quality of this product since my order was never filled by Amazon. I ordered the item on Dec 8 when the claimed delivery was 5-7 days.When I came back just before Christmas to check status, expected delivery had changed to "Jan 13 - Jan 31". Then today (Jan 26), Amazon sent me an email asking me to confirm a new delivery of "Feb 28 - Mar 18". This was to be a Christmas present in 2004 not 2005! Amazon has a lot of nerve waiting until the last five days before notifying me of another delay of up to a month and a half!Is Amazon that far out in left field with respect to their suppliers?Does Amazon really think this is the way to grow a business?Doesn't Amazon realize that they are not the only distributor out there?

Does the job
I've had mine for 3 months.Works fine and does a good job.On low speed it's quiet enough, although I have it in the hallway to humidify a 3 bedroom area.Love the fact that I don't have to replace the wicks ($$$ saver).That's what made me buy this in spite of the other noise complaints I'd seen.

Very easy to fill the tank and the tank is sturdy and easy to carry.No problems with water leakage.Sometimes the gurgling sound as water is being drained is a little annoying, but not overly so.

Overall, I'm satisfied.


Update (1/12/05) Cleaned it last spring easily with vinegar/water as instructed in the manual and packed it away.Got it back out and started using it in December (12/04).Once in awhile it vibrates a little more than I recall last season, but it's still bearable.It's a bummer others have reported problems with this model.I'm satisfied.

'tis a piece of..... junk
Mine lasted about 6 months. Put out about 5 gallons/day in winter. Loud, loud, loud, but beared it since I had already paid for it. I had to snap together the water pump assembly (a fan blade in a housing that pushed the water though a tube) on many occasions. Could not truly fix it since it is made completely of cheap plastic. In the end, the motor burned up and left the house smelling like burnt varnish for 2 days.

piece of junk
I bought two humidifiers, the 3 gallon, and the 2.5 gallon, and within a month, both of them quit, the motors burned up. Upon notifying Hunter, I was sent two replacements immediately. One of them is already making a loud noise, and I expect the other to quit anytime. I would spend a little more money and buy a better humidifier because each time you send it back, you have to pay shipping which isn't cheap.

Noise was too much!
I just returned mine. After a week it rattled like a bugger! Kept me up at night, it was terrible.

TOO LOUD!
I agree with the previous review, that this humidifier was fine at first but grew louder by the second week of use.The fan rattles like a garbage disposal.I tried running it only in the daytime but that defeated the purpose since I need it while sleeping.

Went and purchased the Hamilton Beach 05519 from J&R Music World and it is quieter but still also loud.But I'll take a loud HUM over a loud RATTLE any day!

I'm mad that I have to change filters now, but supposedly only every 2 mos. with the Hamilton Beach.I will stay away from all Hunter products in the future because now I've done some research on the Web and it seems that quite a few people are having the same noise problem.There is a defect.Not only that, one model of Hunter's was recalled due to a fire hazard! ...

Product Description

Closed, crowded, parched environments, like airplane cabins or sealed offices, often have stale, dry air. And when trapped for hours in such ultra-dry places, the desert-like humidity makes your mouth and nose painfully raw; your breathing uncomfortable; your sleep disturbed. What can you do? You can wear our exclusive new Ionic Breeze Personal Air Purifier and humidifier! Now it's easy to create your own "personal comfort zone" and breathe cleaner, fresher air in any environment, at home, at work, when traveling... wherever fresh, clean air is in short supply. This sleek device is compact, lightweight, portable and discreet. It looks like a small binocular or tape player when worn around the neck. Electrostatically charged rings help to remove airborne irritants. And to make breathing easier in parched places, this Ionic Breeze is a personal humidifier, too, adding moisture to uncomfortably dry air. Just slide out the tray and add water to the built-in Porex humidifier wicks. The result? You'll feel so much better, relaxed, and refreshed at the end of your journey. Runs for about 40 continuous hours on 4 AA batteries (order separately). Wear using the adjustable nylon strap. Measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 1 1/2" and weighs a mere 7 oz., even with batteries.

Not a great product, despite Consumer Reports review
I agree with other reviewers about humidistat cycling on and off. I ended up not using the auto feature. Also, once the tank gets low, it starts to rattle a bit in the base and is no longer "whisper quiet." Finally, our house has old steam heat radiators and our room is 13x13 with 9 foot ceilings and the tank did not last the night during most of December and January when set to 40%. I did, however, find the replacement filters easily at Target. I would not recommend this humidifier.

Noisy and Leaks
I read several reviews on this including consumer reports trying to find a unit with a timer. I found this unit to be noisy and water leaked from the base all over the table and floor the first time I used it - I returned the unit and would not recommend this unit to others.

noise blower
I agree with one reviewer that the humidistat is regulated in a very tite range causing it to cycle on and off very frequently.I don't agree with the fan noise.I found it to be very noisy compaired to the two Bemis humisifiers I had for the past two years. I admit they don't have the air ionizer and other features but at least I can forget they are there.Oh and the wick is hard to find.

I would not recommend this product.
I bought this humidifier on the recommendation of Consumer Reports.It's easy enough to clean and handles hard water well.However, it is as loud as a box fan and it leaves a puddle underneath itself.In addition, filters for this model are somewhat hard to find.Most noticeable among this model's drawbacks is that it constantly flips on and off when you put it into automatic mode ("Accu-Stat").My wife and I are going to return it and purchase a quieter, warm-mist humidifier with no filters to replace.

Difficult locating replacement filters
This humidifier is exceptional in that it also incorporates an air filter along with the wick -- a definite bonus in an arid household filled with dog dander.

Unfortunately, although I bought the unit at Menards (a regional big-box home improvement store)just before Christmas, Menards doesn't stock the replacement filters.I am thrashing around online searching for the replacement filters, still with no success.

The performance of the humidifier would rate a 4-5 stars (though I've noticed the same constant on-off issue when using the programming mode).The hassle factors drop the score down to a (very generous) 3.Before anyone considers purchasing this humidifier, I recommend ensuring they have a guaranteedsupply of replacement filters lined up. ...
