Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of AIR-O-SWISS 7133 Humidifier
Customer Review: It Worked Great and then the Tank Started Leaking
Summary: 4 Stars
This was to be the third year of use. It worked great for the last two years. This year I used it a couple of weeks and then boom there was water everywhere. Of course it was sitting on a wooden nightstand that I had meant to have a glass tabletop made for but haven't gotten around to it. There wasn't any warning that the tank was starting to leak so now I have to not only buy another humidifier but also have to have a table refinished. I suppose that serves me right for procrastinating. But back to the humidifier. It works perfect for 2 plus years. The key to humidifiers if you can afford it is to use only distilled water. This will save you a lot of cleaning grief. Also, when I first bought this unit the tank was leaking -- wow was that a disappointment that was. The Amazon marketplace seller replaced it immediately, which was a pleasant surprise.Customer Review: Can you sleep under an airplane engine?
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this unit about 8 months ago, and we cannot sleep in the room with this humidifier, because of the incredibly loud noise it makes. We tried replacing the cartridge ($56 for a cartridge and new resin and UPS 2nd day mail, took them three days to ship because they couldn't compute why our billing and mailing addresses are different -- moral: buy it on Amazon). Tried cleaning it with the descaling stuff. Tried sitting it on two towels and wrapping it in another one. It still sounds like I'm sleeping in an aircraft hangar, except that this engine constantly shifts gears. I don't know if everyone else commenting here got the silent model or if we're just super sensitive, but anyway, if you're a light sleeper, keep looking.Customer Review: Nice machine, just not worth the $$$$$$
Summary: 3 Stars
..I ended up returning this unit because the reservoir tank is woefully inadequate. It seemed like I was refilling the thing
3-4 times/day. I think the problem has to do with the demineralizer cartridge, which is big, taking up a lot of surface area inside the tank. They should really put the cartridge somewhere else or make a much bigger tank. I will say that the unit worked well and is very well constructed. I also liked the fact that you don't need those annoying filters that my other unit uses(Vornado) However, I'll stick with the Vornado with it's filters and it's two huge tanks. Oh, and the warm mist setting is not really that warm at all. It's basically room temp.
Customer Review: Worked great ... for one week
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really glad to have found this, even threw away our old humidifier that wasn't so great once I saw how wonderful it was. Then, exactly one week later, it simply quit producing mist. The customer service reps at Air-o-Swiss seemed hellbent on blaming me, making me waste a lot of time on the phone with them performing their stupid "fixes" (and, frustratingly, making me repeat the same ones every time I spoke to someone new). Now I get to mail it back to them with my own money (post office lines at holiday time - fun!) and do without until they get around to mailing one back. And no, they have not been apologetic in the least.Customer Review: Easy 3
Summary: 4 Stars
The Air-O-Swiss AOS7133 "NEW" Ultrasonic Antimicrobial Cool/Warm Mist Humidifier possess the three primary elements that I was searching for in a room humidifier. 1) A large tank reservoir that was easy to fill, 2) a visible mist that makes it easy to see if the unit is working properly, and 3) a mold-resistant unit that is easy to maintain. In addition, it has a sensor that detects desired humidity levels and an option of cold or warm mist. An extra bouns is the unit's quiet operation that, while not exactly devoid of sound, produces the kind of ambient, soft noise that helps lull you to sleep.
