Product Reviews of Kaz PersonalMist Ultrasonic Humidifier
Product Review: A bit small, but runs SILENTLY
Summary: 3 Stars
When KAZ says "personal", they mean 'tiny'.
It does a good job, but leaves a white powder on TV screens.
Product Review: A bit too small but works well enough
Summary: 4 Stars
Kaz's Personal Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier is a small portable humidifier that provides relief from dry air. It is perfect for your bedroom, office, or dorm room and has two settings (high and low). The tank holds up to ½ gallon of water and the humidifier works in areas up to 150 square feet.
What I like about the humidifier:
The humidifier is small enough that it doesn't take up much room and you don't have to rearrange the room to fit it in. It needs no filter which is a major plus since you don't have to worry about the added expense of replacing the filter. There is a constant mist which helps humidify the room. It does an excellent job in my bedroom and I can really tell the difference in air quality when I use it and when I don't use it. It is a bit noisy but quieter than other humidifiers that I've used. It is very easy to clean - you basically just have to wipe it down after use - and it doesn't get any of the gunk I've seen accumulate on other humidifiers are repeated use. It is also more durable than other humidifiers that I've used which tend to only last one winter.
What I don't like about the humidifier:
The tank is a little too small. Although the humidifier is supposed to run 8 - 12 hours (on the lowest setting) I find that it barely lasts eight hours on that setting before running out of water. Make sure you don't place the humidifier on a valuable piece of furniture as "white dust" can be a problem (this can be eliminated by using distilled water which can get expensive). My bedroom windows develop condensation after using the humidifier.
Bottom-line:
While I wish the humidifier ran longer, it does an excellent job and is easy to clean and use. Recommended.
Product Review: Appeared to be DOA but okay after 30 minutes
Summary: 4 Stars
Almost sent this humidifier back since it was putting out little to no mist. Decided to leave it going to make sure and after about 30 minutes it finally start to pump out a decent amount of mist.
Despite the manufacturer's claim that it is rated at 2 gallon output per day, I am only seeing 1/3 gallon in 8 hours - equivalent to 1 gallon in 24 hours. As the humidifier runs it warms up the water and as a result, the mist output increases later in the day.
I am using in my 8 ft x 8 ft office so it does fairly well. Would not recommend it for any larger space.
Product Review: Awesome Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi. I have just bought my 3rd one of these humidifiers! I love them. They are very quiet and perfect for a small-medium room. It runs all night on either low or high. And the best part... it doesn't weigh a ton to refill. I just carry the tank to the sink and fill it from there. No need to do it in the tub and break your back holding it while it fills. I've had 2 back surgeries and can't lift anything heavy, so the weight of the filled tank is absolutely crucial to me. I also love how quiet it is. I highly recommend it! I plan to buy a 4th one to take to my office. Best to all!Product Review: Best Humidifier Out There, Best Price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful item. We have tried every kind of humidifier from tabletop ones to the HUGE multi-tank "whole house" type that have 2-4 large tanks and roll around on wheels. My main problem was that I was the only one strong enough to fill and carry the tanks, so I was on permanemt "water carrier" duty. For the huge ones on wheels I hooked up a hose to the faucet and dragged it to the humidifier to fill it. What a pain! This Kaz personal is by far the best choice.
It does have a small tank, but it's so light that my elderly mother or the kids can fill and carry the tank themselves. It's also cheap enough to put one in every room. And it's great for travel; just pop it in your luggage and use it in hotels or wherever. We have 1 in each bedroom, and in the living room, kitchen and office. They last almost 2 years then it will just stop steaming. The larger, more pricey ones last about the same amount of time but are way more expensive to replace. On low setting it will go almost 10 hours so the size really isn't an inconvenience.
Kaz used to change the style every year, but hopefully they'll stick with this one. The first Kaz Personal took a 1 Liter plastic bottle instead of a tank. A great idea, but the thinness of the bottle you use affected the steam; too thin walls and the water would run out, too thick and nothing happened. I found myself in supermarkets squeezing bottles as if I was picking a ripe melon. Now the Kaz Personal has its own small tank and it is absolutely the best!
