Swiss Air Purifier

Humidification System This Digital Ultrasonic humidifier uses high-frequency vibrations to generate a micro-fine mist when blown into a room without delay evaporates. Choose the pre-heating function and mist exits the appliance at a pleasant 104 °F. «ITCTM» engineering (Intelligent Temperature Compensation) monitors the temperature and mechanically adjusts the output when conditions change. A replaceable demineralization (Ag+ Ionic Silver Technology) cartridge ensures water mist without lime scale or solid homogeneous inorgani substance residues, and the AIR-O-SWISS quad-band microbial shelter system prevents microbial growth in the water base. This is in particular indispensable when the humidifier is not employed for a great deal of time with water remaining in the base.

smart, sleek and rather the work horse
By F.Y.I.
My family and I moved from Southern California (where we slept with the windows open almost year round for wonderful, well rested sleep) to Phoenix, Arizona (where the humidity hovers at most to 15% in my house according to my hygrometer.) After a month (and before we got the humidifier), my kids (3 and 1) were utterly suffering. During the night, they were choking and hacking, wheezing and just plugged up. I was no different. Needless to say, our sleep was seriously affected. I knew it was the air situation. After 3 nights of researching the dissimilar types of humidifiers, I in the end settled on buying two Air O Swiss 7144 units (one for each kid's room). Although it was expensive, I buy things for the long haul and figured better to spend up front then have troubles with for less models down the road. I have since turned it on perfectly each single night for them and the divergence is short of miraculous. Here are numerous points:

The Engineer in me had a fight with the Consumer in me over this one. Read the review to find out who won.
By Alan P.
I searched long and hard to find a humidifier that would meet my needs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one, so this is what I ended up with. Kind of harsh to start out out with, I know, but I'm just being honest. I wanted a humidifer, initial and foremost that was quiet, so I started looking at Ultrasonic Humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifers are notorious for emitting a white dust as they work which is in truth dissolved solid homogeneous inorgani substances in the water. I did not see this as an issue as I will be using RO (Reverse Osmosis) water to fill it. Next, a Humidistat. Suprisingly few humidifers genuinely come with humidistats, even amid the higher priced units. A unit with a humidistat will control the the humidity level of a room by constantly measuring the humidity and turning the unit on or off based upon the preset user selectable setting, much like a thermostat does for heating and cooling. Many units merely have Low Medium and High settings, or a lot of variation thereof which makes it difficlult to control the humidity level with any precision.

A Better Humidifier
By try/star
This unit is much better than the evaporative type. I owned an evaporator for 2 years but it had difficultnesses with mold in the wicks and filter. Air-O-Swiss uses ionization, not evaporization, to put mist in your air. Ionization is quicker and more efficient. It doesn't require a fan to do it's work, as all evaporitive types do, so it is quiet. For compairison, see the Essick Air 336-500 3-Speed Tabletop Evaporative Humidifier, this is an evaporitive type that I owned before buying the Air-O-Swiss.
