Product Reviews of Kaz PersonalMist Ultrasonic Humidifier
Product Review: For want of a handle I dropped the tank
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this product for a month, and loved it. It was quiet, and perfect for humidifying a dorm room. I put it on the windowsill next to the heater which was drying the room out, and my colds went away. I used Tilex to clean it--a couple of painless sprays each week did the job. And no expensive filters to replace.
In order to avoid the harder water coming out of the tap in my room, I walked down the hall to use a community faucet that has filtered water. That way I avoided the white dust problem the manufacturer warns about.
But, after a month, when walking down the hall having just refilled the tank, the wet tank slipped out of my hand and broke, spilling water all over the place. I found a replacement tank on the internet, but with shipping it cost almost as much as a new unit. So now I'm shopping for another model that is also filterless, quiet, and hassle free, but which won't slip out of my hand when wet.
Moral of the story: wet fingers need a real handle on the tank.
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: It Works, but a bit flimsy
Summary: 4 Stars
It is good enough I bought a 2nd unit, but the knob on the first unit been some what damaged, since I managed to rotate it all around. Now I don't use the knob to turn it on and off, I use an X10 switch instead. The 2nd unit knob working just fine, I didn't try to over-rotate it, so who knows.
I like the small container also, was using a much larger one for a couple year, always a hassle to refill water because of the size, although once you do it it last twice as long. But now I realize smaller container is good since it is not a mental hassle to carry it back and fore to the tap.
Out of all the ultrasonic humidifiers, I think this is the best in practical terms for personal use.
Product Review: Very basic humidifier.
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a no-frills unit. Sometimes it's good, but in this case some frills would be nice, like auto shut off or variable mist setting, anything to stop or at least slow it from wetting everything around it, even on low setting. This is definitely not intended to be left on unattended.
Pros:
- small size.
- easy to refill.
- no filter.
- reasonably quiet.
Cons:
- no auto shut off.
- only two settings, and the low setting is not low enough.
- leaves a puddle even on low, so don't set it and forget it.
Product Review: Works well, not everything as advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
While the unit has worked well, the filters advertised as being for this unit are NOT actually for this unit, so don't add them! Also this unit says it lasts up to 12 hours with out re-filling the tank, this is not actually true. The max I have had one full tank of water last between 9 and 10 hours and runs dry.
