Great little humidifier
I love this little humidifier! It has to be filled about every 6-8 hours when on the high setting, but it does a WONDERFUL job of humidifying. My old humidifier had a gauge for humidity that had humidified air blowing straight on it. According to that gauge, this humidifier does a better job of humidifying the room from across the room than the old one did blowing straight on the gauge.
I live in Colorado where sometimes it seems like we have negative humidity. This little machine makes it comfortable to be inside our apartment, easier on the kids and my wife and I for breathing, and it doesn't have an expensive and unreliable filter/wick to change like our old Holmes unit did. To put it bluntly, this humidifier kicks our old humidifiers rear end. Plus it's about 1/3 the size and much MUCH quieter. It's also a lot higher in quality in both materials and construction.
Very Good Humidifier
Pros: Good Price... Quiet... Sturdy...Easy to fill tank...Absorption Sleeve(more on that later)...Big enough for small to medium size rooms...Built in Humidistat..Easy to clean..
Cons: Finding replaceable absorption sleeves was almost impossible.
The absorption sleeve is a great idea. It slides over the heating element and it makes the unit very easy to clean.. And it makes the unit much quieter than other humidifiers. Because of mineral build-up on the heating element with other humidifiers I've owned they would need to be fully cleaned after every 2-3 times of use. But with this Optimus most of the minerals builds up on the absorption sleeve, not the heating element.. I clean the sleeve every 2-3 times of use, which is a breeze. It just slides off and I clean it with running water, then slide it back on.. The heating element still needs to be fully cleaned, BUT not nearly as often as with other warm mist humidifier.. Because of the sleeve there is much less...
humidifier
I feel like I read every review on every humidifiers before I ordered this one. They all had some good Feedback, and they all had a lot of Bad Feedback. I want the same thing everyone wants. One that works well for a long time with the more convenient features. Well, this one didn't seem to have any bad feedback. Although it didn't have much feedback at all so it must be relatively new to the market. I want to like it. What I do like. The water storage is a nice size. It works thru one night maybe two before refill. It's as easy and convenient to remove, refill, replace as it could possibly be. Very quiet operation with just an occasional water gurgle. I always run on maximum on speed and level. I also bought a cheap humidistat to monitor my results. I ended up moving the humidifier directly beside the head of my bed and the humidistat within 2 ft. The machine uses up the water, so it's putting it out. But I could never exceed 40% humidity on the gauge even with continuous operation...
