We bought this Air-O-Swiss AOS Ultrasonic Humidifier at Linens N' Things with a discount coupon to use in our bedroom at night. Although we have a humdifier attached to our gas furnace, when we turn the heat off at night, the cold air sucks up the moisture and it becomes hard to breathe. This unit solved the problem.
The Air-O-Swiss AOS Ultrasonic Humidifier has quality construction written all over it. The pushbutton controls are logically arranged on the front and the electronic display makes it a breeze to control and monitor both the humidity level(can be adjusted 40-75%) and water level output(five levels). The unit has a handy Auto feature that makes these adjustments automatically depending on the room temperature. I use this feature every night since our room temperature is much colder in the middle of the night. The unit also lets you program it to shut off completely at any interval from 1 to 9 hours. I program it to go off early in the morning when my furnace and main humidifer go on.
I have found that the easiest way to fill the Air-O-Swiss AOS Ultrasonic Humidifier is in the bathtub. Simply unscrew the mineral cartridge, turn the tank upside down, and fill it to overflowing. When you screw the mineral cartridge back in, it will elimiminate any excess water, so you cannot overfill the tank. Since the tank is clear, there is never any doubt about how much water is left. Based on my usage, I have found that one full tank lasts me two nights.
A separate gizmo that I have to test the humidity levels in my house confirms that the humidity readings on this unit are accurate.The Air-O-Swiss AOS Ultrasonic Humidifier is whisper quiet. You will not hear any mechanical or gurgling sounds at night(just buy a cheap $30 unit at the drugstore and you will see the difference).
Maintenance requires replacing the mineral cartridge every 2-3 months depending on usage at $12.50 a pop and the silver ion rod that keeps out bacteria each year at $30. Considering the months of comfort that we enjoy from this unit, that's a bargain.
To Clean the base of Air-O-Swiss AOS Ultrasonic Humidifier is easy since it is relatively compact and easily fits under the sink faucet. A symbol lights up on the electronic display to let you know when cleaning is necessary, though you can also easily tell by looking at the base. In any event, you should rinse it once a week with water, and use vinegar if you have any mineral deposits.
This unit provides either warm or cool mist, though we use only the warm mist since that keeps our bedroom temperature from dropping even further. I suggest turning it on about a half hour before bedtime to ensure a warm mist is coming out when you go to sleep since nothing heats instantaneously.
If you want to elimiate stuffy noses in a bedroom or small den, this unit will do the trick. It is not cheap, but it is worth the money.
