Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BIONAIRE PERMANENT FILTER HUMI

Customer Review: It's ok, but what's with the filter?
Summary: 2 Stars

Anyone else get over the "leaking" issue and actually run this for some time? We've been using it, and it can't manage to get the humidity above 45% in our bedroom on the low setting. I'm not sure if that's because of the reverse of the leaking issue (my floor seems to be slanted so that the filters are higher than the tank) or because of the "permawick" filters. I've been really peeved about having to replace expensive (and hard to find) filters on other humidifiers so I've been trying to find alternatives. This is my second attempt. Anyhow, it seems that at least they realized that the new type of wicking filter doesn't do a very good job, and so they put 4 of the in there. But even after a couple of nights of use, they start to get crusty (just like all other filters) and start to lose their wicking power, and hence their humidifying power. The instructions talk about cleaning them every day (if I knew that, I wouldn't have bought the thing) and says to clean by soaking in soapy water. The soap may help bacteria or other crud it may have picked up from the air, but it does exactly SQUAT for the minerals. They have a faq in the manual which mentions that if the filters get brown, you can use their mineral disolver on them. Earlier, they mentioned the same disolver for cleaning the "dishwasher safe" tray. They also mentioned vinegar. Ah,now that's interesting. I've used vinegar in the past to extend the life of the normal paper wick filters. So, I gave it a shot. These "perma wicks" do hold up better than the paper, but they're far from perfect. Plus they require an aweful lot of vinegar. And since they crud up in a couple of days, it'll have to be done far too often. Now that the crud has been mostly removed (I let them soak about 11 hours) I rinsed them and tried them again. Guess what? The stupid dial that tells you to clean the filters reads low, like I'm near the point where I have to clean them. But the soap that they tell you to do it with did nothing, and the vinegar helped a little, but over all, it seems it doesn't do too much.

Ok, after that long diatribe, back to my question. Anyone else go through this and have a better experience actually getting the humidity out of it?
