Slant/Fin Puri-Clear 55 Air Purifier Replacement Filter Pack - 1 ea Review

Slant/Fin Puri-Clear 55 Air Purifier Replacement Filter Pack - 1 ea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OK. Time to buy my yearly supply of filters. Had my purifier for many years. Loved it. UNTIL NOW. The filters arrived. No box. Just celaphaned flat filters/prefilters labelled "RFPC55". Trouble was, the filter looked NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING like the Slant/Fin filter combo I have used for many years. This Filters-Now Company claimed the filters they sent me were superior to the Slant/Fin replacement filters I ordered.
Differences included:
1. no foam sleeve for the filter.
2. Slant/Fin filter is porous flexible filter (similar to my vacuum's pre-hepa filter)encased in a porous foam sleeve. It is made by 3M and called Filtrete. The Filters-Now "replacement" filter has some sort of multi strand fiber material glued or burned to each side of the flexible filter (instead of encasing the filter entirely in a foam sleeve); this means the filter is exposed on all edges and the filter is very hard. I wondered if there are any gas off effects to be considered with these replacement filters. Also wondered how glue or burning this strand stuff to the filter affects the ability of the filter to actually process air.
3. The Slant/Fin prefilter has a super fine micro-perforated pellon like sleeve- reminds me of the outer casement of a breathable medical gauze pad. The inside looks like fine layers of cotton- not glued at all-think loose cotton ball material laid very flat. It has some sort of activated carbon properties to it. The Filters-Now prefilter appears to be only a single layer of some sort of denser cotton like material- reminds me of batting, close to a 1/16th of an inch thick, perforated on one side (I did not take it out of its celaphane wrapper, as it will be returned shortly). I see no carbon activated material at all.
4. Both are too small. The width is 1/4 inch too small and the length is between a 1/2 and 5/8 inch too small. I believe the reason for the difference was the substitution of the glued or burned on fiber strand stuff instead of the foam sleeve used by Slant/Fin (or whoever made their replacement filters)and the omission of the pellon sleeve on the prefilter. Of course that is just a guess. Regardless of the why, the directions for the Slant/Fin replacement filters found on the box say this -
"Install new filters in housing. Install with white filter inside; foam filter covers white filter. Be sure both ends form a proper seal to prevent air from bypassing filter". The Slant/Fin replacements fit tight! These Filters-Now filters had no instructions, no box, and by their own design create bypassing areas. I had to ask myself - What sort of air will result? Could ill-fitting filters possibly create a shorter life for the device overall?
I phoned Filters-Now as soon as I opened this package and saw they were completely different from what I expected! They claimed their filters are "superior" to Slant/Fin's. They also claimed Slant/Fin "went out of business". According to Slant/Fin, they did NOT go out of business; they SOLD this particular air purifier business to KAZ USA INC. KAZ claims they will be making filters for this purifier but they do not have a firm production schedule yet. They guessimated it would be three months. I have no idea how long ago Slant Fin sold this purifier business.
In my book, if something doesn't fit properly, I can't count it as "superior". What I can't quite figure out is why this company did not immediately offer for UPS to pick their stuff up and provide me with a credit for the entire amount, including shipping! I hope this is not going to get ugly. After all, clearly I ordered in good faith. For heavens sake, the Amazon page has a photo of the same Slant/Fin replacement filter box I have ordered before! Nowhere does the description alert a customer that the item will differ from the photo'd item! I am awaiting a phone call tomorrow from this company.
For the record, the only thing I found superior was Filters-Now unit price!

Crane Licensed Filter Cartridge Review

We have the "Hello Kitty" humidifier and I bought this filter in the hopes of reducing the white dust from the humidifier, but all that ended up happening was that the water in the humidifier turned a dingy yellow-brown color and my daughter's room FILLED with white dust. We had to open the windows and turn on the attic fan just to clear it all out. I'm not sure why this happened. I followed the directions on the box (although it's 100% fool proof, all you have to do is place the filter in the base of the unit). We're actually better off without a filter and I'll be returning this for a refund.

I was excited when I first plugged this in...it was SO quiet on the most powerful setting! The following day, I emptied the tank and refilled it. Within about a half hour, mist stopped coming out of the top. When I went to inspect the situation, water was trickling out of the BACK of the unit where the PLUG is. That seems real safe...NOT. Emptied everything out again, filled it back up, plugged it back in (dry of course) and now it doesn't produce any mist what-so-ever...and again, water is trickling out the back. I'm returning this product of course.

These mineral absorbtion pads really work. Our area in west Texas has water that is very heavy with minerals. These pads really help remove the mineral by absorbing particulates before they stick to the hot surface in the humidifier. Without the pads, we would have to clean the humidifier much more often and it would be more difficult.

Trion 356686-001 Atomizer Humidifier Review

Trion 356686-001 Atomizer Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is merely a drugstore style spinning disk humidifier made of metal instead of plastic with a toilet bowl style water filling valve. Loud as hell and back, randomly, due to lack of precision roundness of the very fast (vs. the drugstore version) plastic disk. It's a molded piece that likely is being de-molded too fast so it warps a bit. WRRRZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZaaaahhhhhhHHHHAHHHAZZSZARrrahhhh.... The vibration isolation sucks. It's little rubber grommets that huge metal studs (threaded rods) jut through, topped off by brass nuts. That metal connection links the top plate that holds the motor to the sound board that is the metal bucket. So I removed the brass nuts and the rubber grommets were set free to stop filling my apartment with ugly noise. Now it's white noise. Calm noise. It does NOT put out enough water vapor to do more than a couple of small rooms. Oh, yeah, better than nothing, much better, but not enough to raise my 1200 sq. ft. NYC apartment from 28% humidity much above 35%. But that's enough to help with dry skin and any coughs that linger after I inhale crap all day during my work in an art and design studio. It's a good product. The top has a wire that sort of prevents it from laying flat on the bucket, so I glued it down, but that prevents you from taking it apart to clean the rotor. Doesn't really matter. The float inside that controls the water level in the bucket can be bent by hand to allow a bit more water in so it's deep water the rotor tip is dipping into instead of shallow water which makes it's own type of very odd noise. Stuff of nightmares, that. After all these years, this little trooper is making me feel like it's spring already. The wall humidity control is top notch and uses some sort of wrapped around plastic film to measure humidity. There's enough mechanical "click" to actually measure the current humidity by cranking the knob left and right. The unit puts out vapor instead of actual gas, so hard water issues are mostly solved by the mineral solids being ejected into the air, but unlike sonic humidifiers, it does not put out a fine white dust of hard water evaporate.

I ordered what were supposedly 4 of the Hunter filters part #31915. When they arrived they were an inch short of the correct size. I could find nothing on the box or filters to indicate that they were genuine Hunter filters. I notified the company who offered to refund me the money if I returned them. I figured it wasn't worth the hassle if they wouldn't just take my word for it and send me the correct filters. I won't be doing business with this company again.

Bionaire Wick For Bcm 6010 Review

I know it is titled cool mist, but why does it have to bee blowing our cool air in the winter. Sigh. That is not really a product flaw. However, I have to refill it twice a day and it is very, very loud, especailly if you have it on the high setting. My husband prefers I turn it off when we are in the room, and then the humidity drops, fast. Our bedroom is 200 square feet and it humidifies it fine, but in any larger rooms it doesn't work. Also, don;t spend more that $39.99 on this. Some sellers are trying to rip you off. I got mine at Target.

Honeywell HCM6013 Cool Mist Air Humidifier Review

Honeywell HCM6013 Cool Mist Air Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought the Honeywell HCM-6013i cool mist humidifier to replace a GermGuardin humidifier that stopped working after 90 days of use. So far, this unit is performing quite well.
According to the specification in the owner's manual, this unit is capable of outputting 11 gallons per day (I'm assuming per 24 hours). Do not confuse this with the unit's water holding capacity. In two separate tanks, the humidifier holds about a total of 3.5 gallons of water. And you will not notice any humidifying mist as you might with other types of humidifier. This humidifier works by the same principle as a swamp cooler.
I usually have the fan speed on low and the humidity level set on auto at 35%. At these settings, I have to fill the water tanks every one and a half day or so. The HCM-6013i built-in hygrometer (humidity sensor) is no where near accurate. Although I have the unit set on 35%, actual humidity measured by a separate and more accurate hygrometer, measures 45%. I recommend buying a separate hygrometer so that you can find the right humidity level. If you're not as picky as I am, you can always go by feel and adjust the humidity control up or down until you find your comfort level, to where the unit turn on or off based on the setting.
This unit fits together from essentially four pieces; the base, the motor housing, and the two water tanks. The pieces do not exactly fit together that well. The design of this unit reminds me of something that was made from the former USSR. It's clunky...but it works. It has no problem keeping up the desired humidity level when the AC is on and the outside relative humidity is 10% - 15%. It draws water from one of the two tanks at a time. When either one of the water tank is drained the unit makes a buzzing noise from the empty lighter tank. It's a little annoying, but a little tab or jolt usually resolves this buzzing noise.
I recommend buying a spare HC-14 replacement filter for this unit. I already notice that within a day if not hours of use the water-wicking filter mentioned was turning a little brown on the top. I don't know if the browning of the filter is due to using tap water for the humidifier or the air in my condo is that dirty. I hope it's the former rather than the latter.
The manual states that using tap water is OK because the water-wicking filter will absorb and retain the minerals in tap water, while the Protec water cleaning cartridge will help fight bacteria and other microbes in the water.
As mentioned above. This humidifier works about the same way as a swamp cooler. In a dry and warm environment, this humidifier does put out a noticeably cool breeze.
This product also boasts of having an "Air Washing Technology", and an independently controlled air ionizer. I can't comment too much about these features because I can't attest to how well they work. Again some swamp coolers can also claim of being able to wash the air as they cool...right? My gut feeling tells me that these features are a bit gimmicky. Does it really "clean" the air in my condo? Maybe. Does the air in my condo really need cleaning? Sometimes.

I bought this product for my infant's bedroom. I completed a ton of research looking for something safe, effective, easy to fill, quiet, and leak-proof. I can not say enough about this product. My husband and I love it, and our baby's room is wonderful to be in because of it. I researched many other products, and the chief complaints were the difficulty to fill and leaking.... however this humidifer had the best reviews and I can see why....I love it. I wish they made on just like it, and as effective, for adult rooms... :) This is a worry free product, a great buy, worth the money and I am so glad we purchased it.
