Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIERCustomer Review: Ok humidifier, overpriced and NOT truly a warm air Summary: 2 StarsMy wife and I thought we could better than the $20 Vicks V-745A that we have had for two years. The Venta sure does show alot of smoke coming out of the machine, but our humidistat in our bedroom has the Vicks winning hands down. It easily raises the humidity of the room where the Venta doesn't really seem to do much at all, but like I said you would think you would wake up soaking wet with all the steam that it emits.
Lastly, the other feature that was important to us was the warm air humidification, much better and less germy than cool mist. This humidifier says it is warm air but it really doesn't get very warm, not nearly as warm as the Vicks. If you put your hand close to where it come out of the spout it is kind of warm, but by the time it hits the air it becomes cool instantly, so you just don't get the feel of a true warm mist humidifier.
The things I like are the fact it has a filter which so far seems to work and keep the unit free of minerals and soot and the room of white dust, and the build quality is fairly solid and it operates quietly. Water capacity is good too, holds more than enough for one night at full blast.
Overall, this doesn't seem worth the money since it doesn't live into everything it says it will do, and other much lesser priced models do. It is NOT a warm air humidifier, so buyer beware in this respect. I went back to the store to test the display and make sure I didn't get a bad unit, it does the same thing, doesn't get really warm. To me this is basically a cool mist humidifier, especially if you have experienced a true warm air humidifier. It seems to spit out alot of smokey humidity and our VIcks doesn't, but the humidistat doesn't lie, the Vicks wins everytime. At the end of the day, this a decent humidifier that is not warm air, and not worth the high price when you compare and consider the performance. It is however better than the Vicks as far as cleaning maintenance.
