Product Description

The Air-O-Swiss 2055D Air Washer / Humidifier simultaneously cleans and humidifies the air without the use of ordinary wick filters. Inside the air washer, special humidifier discs rotate through a water bath. During this process, the air flowing past the discs is cleaned of contaminants in a natural manner - in the same way that the air is washed clean by rain in nature. Airborne particles and allergens as small as 0.5 microns - such as dust, pollen and household odors - are removed from the air naturally, safely, and quietly. A pre-ionizer charges the air with negative ions, causing the cleaning discs to attract particles more easily, like a magnet. Humidification is performed using the self-regulating cold evaporation principle. This method of humidification is the most natural and healthiest way to add pure moisture to the air, without leaving any White dust or residue from mineral deposits. The Air-O-Swiss 2055D Air Washer is also equipped with a special anti-bacterial protection system (the Patented Ionic Silver Stick), which guarantees that the water inside the air washer will be kept free from harmful bacteria and viruses. Two fan speeds allow you to run the air washer at night with minimal noise.This Optional accessory uses the antimicrobial action of silver to keep the unit safe and free of microbial growth. It is self-regulating and maintenance-free. Dry, dirty air is drawn in from the top of the air washer and clean, moist air exits out the sides Two ultra quiet fan speeds, ideal for night time operation Fragrance container for adding scents to the purified and humidified room air Removable Transparent water tank with handle for easy handling Built-in power cable Storage

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite worth the price tag...., February 23, 2007

When I first began running this humidifier, I was thrilled with the results...for about two weeks. Unfortunately, when the cleaning light blinked for the first time, I cleaned the machine, and it has never operated properly since those first two weeks. The humidity now does not rise above 30%, even though it was initially getting up to 60%. The Air-O-Swiss toll-free number has a twenty minute wait, and when I did finally get in touch with an operator, their suggestions were straight out of the user's manual, all of which I had already tried. As a major allergy sufferer, I was *very* excited to find this model initially, since it does not require any moldy filters, and is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely quiet, easy to fill, and, it seemed, high-functioning. But I've been struggling to improve the performance of this machine for weeks, and have severe doubts about whether it's worth the extreme price tag. And considering that cleaning the base and the filters is such a time-consuming chore (every two weeks, at least), I would have trouble recommending such an expensive product.

We bought this product a while back and this is the first humidifier that we've bought. I did some research and wanted one that was a combination of an air purifier and a humidifier. So far, we love the product. My wife says her skin and hair feel much better. She also has sinusitis so she has also seen a big difference in her ability to breathe.

The only problem we've had is that the digital display is a little too bright for us! It illuminates the room a little too much. Other than that we love its two speed function, love the fact that it doesn't have any filters, and that it cleans our air. It also has a section where you can put a cotton that has been doused in essential oil so it humidifies and smells good!

We've already cleaned it about four times because it got dirty very fast for us, and it reminded us that it was time to clean it. I haven't had a chance to go around cleaning the humidifying discs, and wont be able to comment on how easy or hard that is.

Overall we like the product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing! Worth every penny!, July 13, 2008

This was worth every penny. I bought our first one from a retail store and paid full price. It worked so well on the upper level of my home I bought two for the lower level as well as nother one for the upper level to accomodate the space. We have stopped using the humidifier that is hooked up to our AC units as well as the one connected to our heating units. Cleaning is a bit of a task but if you treat the machine well it will return the favour. We live in Colorado and as of recent the relative humidity has been around 5% and these machines are keeping the humidity level very steady at the 45% we have it set at. Even in the winter the machines are able to keep our humitidy leves at 50% or higher as we have occasional set it for. It is very important for us to keep the humidity up as we are very concerned about the wood furnishings we have and making sure they are kept in not such a dry air home and the furniture is doing great. I would highly advise that this is the best purchase you can make and your sleep will even improve with the improved air quality. The noise level is not a bother; it doesn't interrupt our daily lives. You are running a humidifier that is acutally working, it is not going to be silent.
