4.0 out of 5 stars Germ-free! WhoohoooO!, December 1, 2004

By	genrock88 "genrock88" (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews

GREAT: Germ-free! Great humidity level! Helps sinuses!

Others might say this unit requires a lot of TLC. It does. I am willing to do that to have a unit that works as well as this one does.

We have hard water so I clean mine out about every 48 hours. I do empty the bottom part out and rinse each time I refill the top part and I also rinse out the pad.

When I clean the unit, I let it sit in vinegar while I'm out doing shopping or whatever so that it doesn't seem like a long time (an hour or two or if I don't need it at night, overnight). It says in the manual 20-30 minutes, but that isn't long enough when you have hard water. By leaving the mineral pad in the unit while it's soaking in vinegar, it also cleans the pad. I have a little toothbrush I keep to clean the water sensors in the vinegar just before I rinse out the vinegar.

The top part that is filled with water, I clean about once a week. I put in about 1/2 cup of bleach and fill it with water. I let it sit while I am cleaning the bottom part out with vinegar. I rinse both the bottom part and pad out a few times to fully rinse out the vinegar and the top part out to rinse out the bleach.

If 99.99% bacteria-free humidity is a must for you for health reasons as it is for me...I don't think you'll mind keeping up with this. Keep in mind, I have mine running for a full 5 months out of the year (24/7 practically) so I probably need a little more upkeep on mine than most people.

After trying the many other humidifiers out there, Slant/Fin is by far my favorite. The others only put out germs into the air. Maybe they are easier to clean, but who wants to breathe in the white powder it spits out? Who wants to breathe in water that's sitting there with bacteria in it because it's not boiled to rid it of the bad germs?? NOT ME!

1.0 out of 5 stars Humidifier, April 24, 2008

By	Curtis D. Botner (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Worked well for approx. two weeks and then I recieved an error message on the LED readout. Contacted the manufacture and was instructed to send humidifier to them (I paid the shipping cost). They send me a replacement. I havent used the replacement so my final opinion on this product is still yet to be determined.
