Wait. You want to pay HOW MUCH for this thing?
By J. Katz
Having been directed to an evaporative type humidifier, I became intrigued with the basic design of the Venta and AirOSwiss models. Both use fans to draw air over water, with turning discs passing through the water with tiny grooves and bumps on the discs to vastly increase the surface area over which the water evaporates. No heat to worry about drying out and automatically shutting off, and no bubbling water from a warm mist unit. Also, no droplets of water accumulating on nearby carpet or furniture as you would see with an ultrasonic humidifier. Also, no swampy mold accumulating in the ‘swamp style’ Honeywell unit that uses a wicking method to draw the water up into a sponge to then be evaporated, leaving a wet sponge to grow all kinds of stuff. The pros and cons are pretty clear:

Not so much
By Lady
I purchased this humidifier online from the Air-o-Swiss website. It arrived clearly misassembled and damaged. I can’t believe they didn’t look in the box before shipping it to me (the IRS could straighten these guys out, too). After figuring out what was wrong, I sent emails with photos and explanations, had many discussions, and was told they would get back to me. They never did and are now after 30 days refusing to let me return the unit. After repairing it myself, it doesn’t produce enough humidity to get a forced-air heated room up to 30% RH (45% is recommended). It does evaporate the whole reservoir overnight, so I think the problem is simply that it only holds one gallon. Need a larger reservoir, but the problem there is you have to fill it. Also, a humidistat is a must-have. As a sidenote, if you need to get a separate hygrometer, go digital, analogs are inaccurate no matter how often you calibrate them. Finally, my best advice is just get a furnace-mounted whole house unit and skip these portable units if you’re looking to increase humidity by more than a few percent.
