Absolutley the BEST!,
By
This review is from: Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier (Lawn & Patio)
WOW! Finally one that WORKS and doesn't wake the neighbors!
We have been through just about every type/brand of humidifier in our quest for the perfect one over the last 15 years. So when I pressed the "on" switch on our new "Venta Sonic VS205" I knew our quest was finally over. Out came an unbelievable "fog cloud" of humidity that gently wafted over the room. Later as the humidity level rose - monitored by the nifty LCD readout on the front - the unit suspended "cloud formation" and waited patiently until the room percentage had dropped below the set level and then resumed. Pros:: 1) Absolutley soundless!!! Many of the other brands worked fine but were so noisy we couldn't sleep. 2) Runs at least 24 hours on a fill (depending on what level you set it on - ours is 45% - 50%) 3) Instant gratification - monitors the humidity level in your room - not many actually do this - you just have to guess and never really know - so this is big. Cons: 1) The only one - it's a bit tricky to fill. Have to turn the tank upside down and unscrew the filter. As an Industrial Designer I could come up with at least 3 better ways to do this - one being simply have another fill cap on the top. But this is really not a problem since the unit has so many other admirable features (AND - you only have to do this once a day!!)

Great Humidifier,

This review is from: Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier (Lawn & Patio)
Having tried many different types of humidifiers to help ease the dry winter weather, I like this one the best.
1. Unlike evaporative humidifiers, there is no wick. After a few weeks, the wicks develop a moldy odor and need to be replaced. 2. It's very low maintenance: I've had 4 units now for several months (one in the master bedroom, one in each of the kids rooms, and one in my office) and the most I've had to do is wipe the base with a towel and clean some scale off the oscillator with the included brush. 3. It's easy to operate. Two knobs (humidity setting/spray power) and one button (mist temperature). It doesn't have a built-in humidistat, but that's an advantage as far as I'm concerned, since most reviewers say the ones that do are inaccurate anyway. $20 buys you a good hygrometer that you can place anywhere in the room. (I've got the Honeywell TM-005X) 4. It's very quiet. Really. You can barely hear it. 5. I was reluctant to buy an ultrasonic humidifier because, as others have noted, the mist only goes a short distance and it mainly humidifies the floor in front of it. But this unit has a pretty good kick to it. And here's a tip -- buy a small fan (I use a Vornado Flippi V8) and use it to waft the mist up into the room. The Vornado on it's low setting is also barely audible, looks great, and takes up minimal space. The Venta-Sonic/fan combo will set you back considerably less than the Vornado humidifier with the built-in fan. Vornado V8 Flippi Personal Fan, Medium, Black 6. Yes, you have to turn the unit upside down to fill it up. Big deal. Don't you have to do this with every water tank? 7. Most important -- it humidifies. It easily raises the humidity level 10 to 15% in a very large 15x 20 foot bedroom with a high tray ceiling.

VS205,
By Colorado John (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier (Lawn & Patio)
I have had a Venta VS205 for several months. It does not have an LCD indicator on it -- I think the VS207 has the LCD gauge. I think the picture on the web is incorrect. I live in a very dry climate. I have found the VS205 a delight. It is very quiet, works well, needs to be refilled about once a day. I operate it at about 1/2 speed in a 315 square foot second floor bedroom. At half power it raises humidity from 2% to 30%-35%, then maintains humidity at that level. No "white dust". The warm mist is not very warm, but I rarely use that function since I am more interested in the energy efficiency of cool mist operation. I like the removeable tank. At first I found flipping the tank over to fill it inconvenient, but I having filter access on the fill cap is an advancage. I am going to buy a second one for my first floor.
