LG LHD45EL 45 Pint dehumidifier Low temperature operation Review

I did quite a bit of research on this item and a tip I read somewhere online suggested that you find out who made the compressor before buying. My understanding is that there are at least three different compressors on this model. I purchased mine at Home Depot and took it out of the box before buying. You can see the compressor manufacturer through the grill once it's out of the box. Only buy the item if the compressor is made by QINGAN or HICHLY. I purchased a QINGAN and it is whisper quiet and I could tell the difference in our musty damp basement within 12 hours. I have the hose hooked up right to our sump pump so I am not dealing with the bucket and don't know how much water is being pulled out of the air per hour or anything like that. It was super easy to set up - even the hose hook-up. Home Depot was selling it for $200. I have had it for 3 days so time will tell but I am very pleased so far.
Update 9/15/09: The hose hook-up worked well for about a week. Then, no matter how much care we take to hook it up, the water still goes in the bucket! Instead of the hose connecting to the bottom of the bucket and draining the water as it goes in, LG tries to bypass the bucket completely and just isn't working for us. There is nothing in the trouble shooting guide to help. Everyday we have to empty the bucket and since it is running (still quietly, I might add) in an unfinished basement, we have to remember to go down and see if the bucket is full. LG - you need a better design!!! I would drop the star rating to 3 stars if I was able to change my original star rating.

The cheap plastic that this thing was made with was not bonded corectly and it leaks from every seam along the bottom of the water catchments. It is also noisy at and speed above 2 and there are 4 speeds. Get something differant.

This machine does the job, however, it takes white noise and raises it to an all new level of annoying. I suppose we'll get used to it, however, if you are looking for something you can't hear, this humidifier isn't for you. I know most of them are considered loud, but I have had at least 4 models over the years and the VICKS one we have in another room is far quieter, although quiet isn't the word I would use to describe it. I guess you would have to deal with the noise with any machine, but this one is louder than most.

The Sharper Image EV-HD10 Cool Mist Ultrasonic 1-Gallon Humidifier with Clean Mist Technology Review

I purchased this ultrasonic humidifier a year ago for my two boys, who seem to always be congested either with colds or seasonal allergies or due to the dry air from our A/C. Prior to having this one, we went through a couple humidifiers (either warm or cool mist) a season because they either broke down, didn't do a good enough job, leaked, or were too difficult to clean. This humidifier works like a DREAM and is so very VERY easy to clean. I love that I can turn the dial to output the desired amount of mist. It's super quiet, too. I know others have said they've had problems with theirs being too noisy or becoming noisy after awhile, but I have not experienced that problem. I've also read that some complain about the demineralization cartridge not working for as long as stated or costing too much. I can agree and sympathize there, but folks...you don't have to buy that cartridge. Just use distilled water. It does the same job, and you can pick up the gallong jugs from your grocery store. While this humidifier IS easy to clean, the manufacturer recommends you do clean the water tank every two to three weeks - as well as the water inlet and ultrasonic nebulizer, which are behind a panel that pops off. Don't forget that little bit of maintenance; it's important. I have to say, I LOVE that there are no mold issues with this humidifier compared to other cheaper ones I have used. All in all, after having gone through a multitude of humidifiers before purchasing this one I would recommend it hands down. Best humidifier purchase yet!

Whisper quiet, hygienic, and easy to maintain, The Sharper Image's EV-HD10 Cool Mist Ultrasonic humidifier with Clean Mist technology is a good friend to have when the air runs dry. The unit works for up to 24 hours per filling of its one-gallon tank, using high-frequency sound vibrations to break up water into an ultra-fine mist and preventing microbial growth on the water surface for healthy breathing. When the tank is empty, the humidifier shuts off automatically and an LED indicator turns on. There is also no filter to clean and replace, so long-term operation is simple and convenient. The unit comes with a demineralization cartridge for hard water and white dust elimination. It also has a cozy built-in nightlight glow. One-year warranty.

Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630 Review

Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630
Average Reviews:

We bought this humidifier to replace one that was purchased about six years ago, also a Honeywell model. That model had a two gallon tank and would shut off if the water ran out. Compared to that, this newer model has a relatively TINY tank, at perhaps a gallon or so. Since the unit is rated at 3 gallons per day output, that would mean quit a bit of refilling on very dry days. On our old unit, the tank had a handle on the underside (where the fill cap is) so that when you filled it, you had something to hold on to. Not so with the new unit. And to make matters even more difficult, the bottom of this new tank is not flat, so you can't just set it under the faucet and expect it to stay there.
The most annoying thing though is the absence of an automatic shutoff and indicator light when the water level gets too low. Because the tank is in the back of the unit, it is hard to see the water level. This thing will run and run and run without water, drying out the filter so you have to take it out an re-soak it again. While stylistically nicer, this units functionality is a real step down from previous generations of their humidifiers.

Keep your home properly hydrated with Honeywell's compact HCM-630 3-gallon-output-per-day humidifier, which is designed for rooms up to 1050 square feet--ideal for living rooms and larger bedrooms. A humidifier is helpful in introducing moisture to your home in order to help you avoid dry skin, chapped lips, dry nasal passages and static electricity as well as keep your wood floors and furnishings in good shape.
This QuietCare model has a fan that blows out invisible, moisture-balanced air, and is 30 percent quieter than other models. It has manual controls for simple operation and 3 moisture control settings. The Protec cleaning cartridge helps reduce mineral build-up, while the antimicrobial-treated filter helps prevent the growth and migration of mold, fungus, algae and bacteria on the filter--both contributing to a fresher, cleaner mist and extend filter life.
The HCM-630 has a 1-1/4-gallon tank capacity, an adjustable humidistat that maintains desired comfort level, and an auto shut-off function that occurs when desired humidity level is reached or tank is empty. It measures 8 by 13-3/4 by 16 inches (WxHxD), is backed by a 5-year warranty, and uses HAC-504/HAC-504AW replacement filters.
