Product Description

Coughing? Wheezing? Throat or sinuses feel irritated? During those winter months, especially when staying indoors, heated air tends to be dry and that dryness may cause upper respiratory irritations. Most household and office heating solutions have the undesirable side effect of excessively drying the available breathing air. Using a humidifier helps moisten indoor air. The AIR-O-SWISS 7133 Humidifier uses high frequency vibration to generate micro-fine mist, so that breathing does not induce discomfort due to dry nasal passages and throat. You can select the temperatures of the mist from cool to warm. Effectively relieve your dry nose, throat, lips, and skin with the ability of selecting the choice of dispersing warm or cool mist. Its sleek design has easy to use controls and a transparent removable water tank. Germs, bacteria, and minerals that may be present in water are filtered from the mist using a replaceable demineralization cartridge (1 included) and ionic silver stick (not included). Overall, this humidifier is designed for your comfort and ease-of-mind in dry environments. Help shake away those winter blues with Air-o-Swiss 7133. Demineralization cartridge should be replaced every 2-3 months Replacements are TON 0030129 (single demineralization cartridge) or TON 0030546 (demineralization 3-pack)

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It, January 17, 2005

By 

Shoegazer (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great results but hard to clean, October 4, 2005

By 

Laura Cicerone "lilfrisco" (Greensboro, NC) - See all my reviews

With not having much experience with buying humidifiers, I purchased this one based on some online research and with the help of user reviews. I was very worried about the noise factor that comes with having a cool mist humidifier but this one passes with flying colors. I'm a very light sleeper and require almost total silence in order to fall asleep. I can't even tell that this machine is in the same room! I love the fact that it can be switched from cool to warm mist at the press of a button and that I can control the amount of mist and how fast or slow it comes out. The only downfall that I've experienced is how difficult it is to keep clean. The still water that sits in the unit's base will have a black build up. This same build up is located at the base of the blue, water-holding section, as well as the tube and attachment the mist comes out of. The machine comes with a small brush, which does not do the job. By running pressurized water over the build up and using a long tubular bristle brush I can get the unit semi-clean. If any one has a better method, please let me know.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of White Dust, October 14, 2005

This humidifier is fantastic but I cannot get rid of the white dust. Despite the fact I'm replacing the desmineralization cartridge regularly, this humidifier is producing a lot of white dust.
