OK, I have had this humidifier for about two months now. Make sure you are aware of the requirements of a filter-free humidifier before you buy one. First of all, I couldn't stand having a filtered humidifier. Constantly having to buy filters, they'd be out of stock at Target, unavailable for my brand at the supermarket, just too annoying, and honestly, they're several bucks every time. Why can't I just clean my own humidifier?

So here's the thing. If you opt to go filter free, read the documentation. I think a lot of the negative reviewers here aren't following the instructions... you have to clean your humidifier ONCE A WEEK. Some people are reporting, 'I have had my humidifier for a month and it's starting to stink.' Well, have you cleaned it four times since you've had it?

And yes, I would say, it's a bit of stretch to call this whisper quiet. Like any device running while you're trying to sleep, you're going to hear it. And when you're lying down trying to fall asleep, anything can sound like a freight train. But yes, I would not call this whisper quiet. It's just as loud as any other humidifier I've experienced. Being someone who likes to sleep in pitch dark, though, I'd say the very bright on-light is more annoying than the sound. I find the whisping whirr of it quite calming.

And the bottom line here is, I've slept wonderfully since I bought it. I wake up and find that I've been breathing through my nose instead of mouth-breathing like I had been. Because my sinuses are staying open and moistened.

So there you have it. If you want to go filter-free, you're taking on the task of cleaning it. Three quick release screws, soaking the base and intake tube in white vinegar, rinsing, putting it back together.

For me this has worked perfectly for months now, keeping the air in the room with my guitar at just the right humidity. I bought mine elsewhere but have had others and this one works just fine if you know what you are doing and take precautions. Not for every one, but for most, the red / orange is not mold but iron in your water. For most but not all, the white powder is lime in your water. This is a fact of life for many areas of the country and why people use water filters and water softeners. If you are in a problem area, use a Brita pitcher to filter the water you fill it with. I have tried it with our softened water with no problems but we recently got rid of the softener and will soon be switching to truly filtered water for the entire house. Until then I use a filtered water pitcher. All humidifiers have this problem. Even Consumers gave none more then an average rating for this problem. Baking soda, light bleach mixture, special cleaner, or just let it completely dry out once in a while and you, as I am, will probably be happy with the unit. Mine is still running clear and clean. For the money, this one ca't be beaten.

As so many others have stated, this product is a complete waste of money, and, I believe, a health hazard. If I could give it "0" stars I would. Despite my best efforts to use filtered water, a ProTec cartridge, and disinfect all reachable parts on a weekly basis with vinegar and/or bleach, mold has grown in the motor housing that is impossible to reach in order to properly sanitize this product. After contacting Kaz, I was told the same thing as so many others (I was hoping maybe they had changed their policy), that I would have to send the item back on my own dime, just to receive the same piece of junk as a replacement. Then, once I received the new one, I should "empty all the water from the tank and base (daily). Then run the unit without any water in it for at least 1 hour to dry the fan housing. If you do not want to run the unit without any water I would just remove the fan housing and unscrew the bottom cover and lay the fan housing on its side so it can air dry." Yeah, like I have the time to do that every day with two small children and one on the way. So this humidifier will probably end up in the trash, a waste of $45 + tax.

FYI, in the last couple of weeks I have purchased a Crane humidifier which doesn't require a filter either (unless you have hard water), for less money, and so far I haven't had any issues with it. It does its job perfectly! From now on, I will not be purchasing any more Vicks/Kaz products due to their complete lack of concern that they have sold a health hazard and aren't taking any responsibility to rectify the situation.

Honest reviews on Vicks V4500 FilterFree Humidifier

I would recommended this humidifier. It is pretty quiet, and I have it running all night to humidify the air. I can put the tray in the dishwasher to clean. No filter needed. I am not sure what the negative opinions that I read other readers write are all about. It is not been my experience. Yes, you need to clean it. But you have to clean all humidifiers. This one is easier than others though. It got a great report from Consumers Report, and that has been my experience as well.

I've had this unit for five months and dropped the Protect cartridge in there every month on the 12th to keep it clean. Despite these efforts, it has developed a pink film along with black mold that you can smell when it operates. I'm having trouble breathing. The area that is affected is IMPOSSIBLE to get to in order to clean it even with pressurized air. My unit has also flooded on two occassions destroying everything on my dresser.

I contacted Kaz who makes the unit. They said they would replace it but I'd be out of a unit for 6-8 weeks and I'd have to pay shipping costs. They will not replace it with another unit so I'm sure the same problem will reoccur. I decided to clean the unit the best that I can (this took 2 hours) and use liquid bacteriostatic water treatment instead of the worthless Protect cartridges. I hope this works.

I ordered this from another source knowing that it did not come with the actual fireplace insert. Then I ordered the 18EF023GRA insert from Amazon (instead of the insert listed in Amazon's description) which worked great in this and is definitely a step up from the one listed to get and even at a lower price! I was very impressed with the quality of this stand and how sturdy it was. This is a substantial piece of furniture that looks great and will do the job nicely. The fireplace just really sets it off into something special. Just take your time assembling it from the nicely packed box using the very clear instructions, and I think you will also be pleased with the end result.

Cheap Casabella Microfiber Vent Brush

Customer Ratings:

This works so much better than the brush model. For those of us who have the long skinny filter the curves downward, this slips in there and the lint stays on the brush. The other model with the long, cone shaped wiry brush just makes a mess and doesn't bring all the lint out with it.

First, it was too fat to fit into my dryer vent so i could not use it there. However, it was very good for cleaning tops of ceiling fan blades, as it is bendable, so I will use it for that. Unfortunately, the microfiber does not remove from the handle so I guess it will have to be hand washed. Would much prefer something that could be machine washed.

This vent brush didn't work very well. Whatever lint it pulled out of the vent was almost impossible to remove from the brush. Too much trouble I returned it.

Discount Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric

Customer Ratings:

This baby is big; 200lbs, heavy and solid, as it should be. The fire place is very realistic and hypnotic, as expected.

Be careful when sliding the fireplace into the cabinet it may scratch or ding the wood trim, but they thoughtfully included a felt tip touch-up pen just in case you make a ding or two. I did and the pen works just fine,

It is made to fit nicely into a corner location, if one chooses that.

Not too difficult to assemble, just take your time. Screw everything tight with a phillips head driver especially the four weird bolts that connect the top piece with the base. This is a very clever concealed construction technique that I have never seen before , but very effective. Two people would be a great help putting it together, as I said it's heavy. A great product, highly recommended, we love it.

As others have said, the heat is not strong, but I didn't need or expect much here in Florida. In reality, if it put out any more heat it would be too much, so if you just want a little heat in one room, this is great and even saves money since you won't have to turn on the Central heat just to get the one room up a couple of degrees. The other thing that is impressive is the Flame-box. It looks really nice and does seem like a real fire, but I would not refer to it as a "fireplace". it really doesn't look like a fireplace but rather like some type of gas fire rising from a bed of golden glass embers. Don't get me wrong it looks great, but unlike the picture, the output is white and golden yellow with no red in the "flames" or "embers".

As for a TV stand, it is very heavy duty and very heavy in weight too. It has no problem holding my 70lb TV and probably could hold heavier, but I think most flat screens weigh less and less so likely no issues. The instructions were also easy to follow and assembly was fast. The only negative is that the top shelf is attached with lightweight cam bolts, so if you tried to lift it by the top shelf I think it would break off. That may be obvious to you, but for me, I always grab the top to move things around, so I'm glad I thought about it instead of learning the hard way.

Lastly, the "Component shelf" is very small. This may not be an issue if you have the newer "micro-slim" components, but if you have the older electronics in big rectangle black metal boxes, you will only be able to fit one thing on the shelf.

Overall a great looking and working unit.

We received the console in one box. Wasn't too hard to remove items. Maybe 9 pieces in all. Only took maybe 45 minutes to set up. My wife loves it. 3 bags of crushed glass was included to place where the logs would have been. Looks great. Looks like a gas fireplace. Very quiet too.

Focused on this brand because of Dimplex's reputation with electric fireplaces.

I was very pleasantly pleased with the media console.

It was solid wood beautifully finished and assembled without any trouble (about an hour).

It is heavy being solid wood, but can be moved fairly easily by one person.

It was delivered to my garage and I unpacked it there and carried the pieces in.

Very happy with the look. The heater is very low BTU but I was not looking for for a heater, just the look.

The remote works well and the heater can be turned off independently if you want.

My wife is happy so I am happy!

Discount Watts Dormont 20C-S0314-60B Coated Gas Connector Kit, 60-Inch Length

Customer Ratings:

I bought a new dryer on Saturday, and picked up this kit on Sunday to do the installation. If you are installing a new appliance, you should buy this new connector kit every time, particularly since the newer kits meet new standards.

The installation went well, and this kit took a newcomer like me a half hour or so, but I needed to make sure I had a few extra things to do it properly. I needed two 7/8" wrenches to tighten the fittings. In my case, I used one 7/8" wrench, along with an adjustable wrench, so you can twist opposite ways on the piping. Two adjustable wrenches would work fine as well. I also needed gas pipe thread compound, or gas pipe tape; do not use the same Teflon tape you use for water systems, as this can flake off and plug your gas orifice. You can also buy gas leak test solution, but you don't absolutely need this; I used soapy water instead. Some kits include pipe compound and leak test solution, but this one did not, so I reduce my review by one star for that.

The instructions were excellent, and well worth following. It is possible to assemble this using fewer than two of the provided fittings, but the instructions indicated that exactly two should be used. They also showed that the fittings are threaded both inside and outside on one end, something that might not be obvious to people ignoring the instructions. The instructions provide several scenarios for different gas plumbing configurations, and this kit should work for almost anyone who is replacing an existing gas dryer.

The heater is well made and works. It's just not nearly as good in my opinion as other reviews make it out to be. I have a couple other 1500 watt heaters that throw out "hotter" heat than this unit. The fan is a little more powerful on this unit. I thought about returning it but have found a use for it. I also think for what this heater costs, you can buy a better and cheaper one just about anywhere.

We are on a budget and wanted a fireplace insert for our custom fireplace surround that we were building. Our major concerns were price (of course), realism and depth of unit. I knew the price and size were good from the description but I was a little leery about the flame effect. I unpacked it and fired it right up and was quite impressed with the effect, it is better than I thought it was going to be.

On the heating ability I would describe its heat output and noise level equivalent to a ceramic heater.

My wife now wants another one for our bedroom.

Anyone wondering about the performance of these units should not be worried. Used in a 24 x 32 garage in Virginia, the garage is well insulated but has two 10 x 16 overhead drive through doors, two large windows and a pedestrian door...so..there is more than enough air-infiltration. Does not matter, set at 50 degrees all winter and burned a nominal 88 gallons of propane. If you need to warm the space up quick, just turn it up and it makes it toasty in 20 minutes. Good luck....

List Price: $324.99

I was very hesitant to purchase this vacuum because of the bad reviews. Glad I didn't listen and went for it. This vacuum DOES NOT have a suction problem! I am fairly confident the issue is people don't read and comprehend the user manual. The problem comes down to TWO fill lines on the water tank. The fill line on the front (which is easy to see) is the water line when you must EMPTY the water tank. The real water fill line for normal vacuum operation is on the back of the water tank and is harder to see. The water fill line on the back is about 1-2 gallons less water than the one on the front. I did an experiment and the more full the water tank, the less suction power (makes sense as more water in the tank means it is harder to pull air through the system). When the proper amount of water is used (or even a little less to cheat) this thing has great suction!

Biggest positive:

1 Water filtered vacuum is awesome. This allows for almost zero dust being expelled from the vacuum. No longer do I get "allergy nose" after I vacuum for an hour or so.

As much as I like this product, I can't give it 5 stars.

Drawbacks:

1 The canister is pretty large and heavy. I could not imagine my grandmother using this vacuum.

2 Wish the wand was a little longer or adjustable. I'm 6ft and need to bend a bit.

3 The lid on the water tank doesn't have a latch, if the canister ever flips over you are going to have a mess on your hands.

This machine is great for hardwood floors, tile floors, flat carpeting, cleaning upholstery, steam cleaning rugs/carpets and auto interiors....when used correctly! 1)Never rely on "air-driven" turbo-brushes, regardless of the make/model! 2)Read instructions thoroughly and make sure when vacuuming to use the water fill-line in the back of the water filtration container 3)You can remove the HEPA filter in the front of the machine if you like; this will create more air-flow, thus increasing your suction and cleaning ability/power! (the water in the container and the hepa filter in the back of the machine are more than enough filtration!)

4)If you know you will be vacuuming around baby changing table or anywhere body powders are applied, add 3 tablespoons of mineral oil to the water because baby powder/body powder cannot get wet....the oil will "grab" the powder and keep it in the water filtration container! 5)Never use more cleaning solution than directed when doing "wet" cleaning! 6)Even without the turbo brush, this machine will probably pick-up more dirt than regular vacuums because it never loses it's air-flow, which is the true ability to clean/pick-up! 7)You can add a few drops of fragranced oils to the water, this will freshen the air while you clean! 8)When done using machine....rinse/dry and wipe down the water filtration tank with alcohol or vinager before storing! 9)IMPORTANT: IT IS VITAL THAT YOU CHANGE THE WATER WHILE CLEANING WHEN YOU NOTICE THAT THE WATER IS FILTHY, ALSO, YOU WILL MAY NOTICE THAT YOU ARE ABOVE THE WATER FILL-LINE WHEN IT IS FILTHY DUE TO INCREASED MATTER IN THE TANK....THIS REDUCES ITS CLEANING ABILITY, IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO FLUSH THE FILTHY/DIRTY WATER AND REFILL IT! 10)You can use this machine to clean the air in your home....when finished cleaning, change the water, add some fragranced oil if you like (we like a few drop of eucalyptus.)and run without any attachments on the intake in each room for 10 minutes once a week, this will greatly reduce the amount of dust in your home, reduce allergy symptons and increase indoor air quality!!!! Sometimes before we have company, we like to place the machine in the center of the house with some Lavender fragranced oil and run for 15 minutes....our guest always comment on how nice the air is in our home!:) Hope this helps!

I don't know why, but I obsess over my tile floors. I have to have them clean and there can't be streaks, spots or dirty grout. To me, it never seemed like a good idea to throw water on the floor, swich it around until dirty, then let it dry. The floor is still dirty. I knew there had to be a better idea. I searched all the stores, then online. I found this machine almost by accident, I think. And you can only get it online. It's the perfect price point. Thank you Amazon -and thanks to the people who took the time to provide reviews. I had my machine within a couple days.

The first day I used it I knew I had found what I needed. It was immediately obvious that this machine is superior for cleaning the approximately 1800 square feet of ceramic tile in my house. The grout was cleaner, there were no streaks, no spots and, best of all, the effort I expended to clean it was much less than that stupid mop and bucket.

Not only that, I was able to clean my chairs, two couches, and the carpet in the rest of the house. The dirt that came out of all my furniture made me both feel dirty for living on them but also a lot healthier now that they are so much cleaner. I also cleaned the carpet and other fabric areas in my cars with the same great results.

Now, I've only had this machine for a few weeks so I don't know how it's going to last -especially since I plan to use it a lot. But it seems well made and sturdy. It's not a professional machine to clean tens of thousands of square feet in heavy use buildings. But I found what I need for my 2,400 sq foot house.

I highly recommend this machine if you have a similar situation to mine. Bissell, you could market this machine a little better so more people can benefit from it. But thanks for a great product. You have my endorsement.

Honest reviews on Bissell Big Green Complete Canister Vacuum 7700

I was really excited about this because of the multi-function use. At the same time, I was skeptical. Our little dog likes to pee in small places on the carpet, so we needed good carpet cleaner that would deep clean these areas.

The carpet cleaner works very well. Both the large cleaner extension and the handheld spray and suction the water, which most others do not do. It was a decision between this and the Hoover Agility. The Agility does not seem to have a sprayer on the extension hose.

When it comes to the vacuum, it's not that great. The suction is only good enough for area rugs. The carpet extension has a air powered brush that stops working on normal carpet and it only cleans the top surface debris.

So, if you want something for hardwood and deep carpet cleaning this is great. Just don't try to replace a regular vacuum cleaning with this.

I bought this after a Hoover Steamvac died. I tried a Dirt Devil Easy Steamer and hated it. I work in hospitality and am used to canister style steam cleaners. This is about as close to a commercial unit as you are going to get, just without the huge size and high cost. it does a fantastic job. Not sure what is going on with the bad reviews. I have had this for several months now and use it quite often with animals in the house. It works perfectly every time. It has even gotten out stains that I thought were never coming out! I would definatley recommend this carpet cleaner.
