Customer Review: Shipping Mistake
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first time I placed an order with Grady's Online. Grady's split my order into two orders. I received the first order for the demineralization cartridge without a problem. The second order for the replacement Ionic Silver Stick was a different story. The order for both items was place online on April 11th. After waiting quite a while I finally received the second order, on April 22nd, but they sent me the wrong item. When I called, on April 22nd, they said they would send out the correct item and a shipping label to mail back the wrong item. On May 1st I called Grady's again to inquire about where my second shipment was. Grady's finally shipped the second item on May 4th, almost a month after placing the order. The prepaid shipping label was not included as promised. A few days later Grady's sent an apology letter along with the shipping label. Even though their price was good I wouldn't order from them again.Customer Review: Just what I needed

I'm so happy with my Air-O-Swiss humidifier that I don't mind having to buy a new ionic silver stick once a year. It was expensive but this is my third winter using the unit, and it's still going strong. Less expensive humidifiers I've had in the past didn't last but one winter and were more tedious to clean (had to put vinegar in the tank and base and let sit for a while, then swish around and dry out ... what a pain that was). The Air-O-Swiss instructions say to use distilled or filtered water to avoid chemical buildup in the unit and it's been working out. We have an RO water filter which helps(it would be expensive to buy that much distilled water). I empty the tank every morning and let it dry out during the day, and so far it's working out great. It's worth it replacing the ionic silver stick annually, so I don't have to worry about fungus or bacteria being blown around in the air. Gives me peace of mind!Customer Review: tank leak after four months
Summary: 3 Stars
Tank began to leak where it is attached to base at the beginning of second season (fifth month). Called Air-O-Swiss customer service directly. Tank warranty....three months. Want granule replacement, not total cartrige replacement......out of stock. What does "replace after one year" mean? One season or twelve months. Response, "one season", (four months). "Once the silverstick dries out, it is deactivated."
It was suggested that I use the heat option because it would sterilize the water.How hot does it get! Doesn't that use a lot more wattage?........."No" Actually it uses like three times more, and forget about sterilization.
Can't handle a large room. But it is quiet,water lasts 12 hours, nice looking.
Where can I buy Air-Swiss locally.....Central New York ?
Customer Review: Is it needed?
Summary: 4 Stars
I replace this once a year as I only use the humidifier during the winter in my kids rooms (I have one in each room). Since its my kids I care about safety and if the manufacture says to use this and replace it I do.
That being said, do you REALLY need one ?? No, but I feel safer. This is why I gave it 4 not 5 stars. I my be snake oil as far as I know, but I will replace it anyway.
Customer Review: Easy to replace
Summary: 5 Stars
This Ionic Silver Stick Microbial Inhibitor was extremely simple to replace in my Air-O-Swiss humidifier. Just take out the old one, and pop the new one in. Couldn't be easier!
These humidifiers are the best, and the cost of replacing this stick once a year and the cartridges every 3 months are well worth the completely hassle-free and quiet day-to-day use (with no buildup).
