Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air-O-Swiss 7146 Travel Ultrasonic Humidifier
Customer Review: Tiny and works great. Bright light fixed!
Summary: 4 Stars
Out of the box this thing is very small. I actually bought it to replace my malfunctioning Air-O-Swiss 7135. (I also had just returned from a skiing trip where I had trouble sleeping due to the dry air in the hotel room.) I already had a small used water bottle, so I washed it well and filled it with water from my Brita pitcher. The insert that is supposed to fit tightly into the top of the bottle does fit well, and is not so difficult to insert as some here have said. Give it a slight twist as you insert or remove.
Upon operating, I see that it puts out quite a bit of water mist, and it is very quiet. I really can't imagine it being any more quiet. The only issue I confirmed that other reviews have said is that the tiny little LED bulb inside makes the unit glow very bright. I have uploaded some photos of the unit operating in a very dark room, and you can see that it lights up the corner of the room. If you have any issue with anything but near complete darkness when sleeping then this will surely be a problem. I fixed this by simply putting several coats of black acrylic paint on the bulb. I put up photos of a closeup of this as well. (Originally I planned on maybe taking the unit apart and just cutting the wires to the bulb, but there are no screws to be found on the outside.) So, the reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I had to do this. There really should be an option to turn the light off. I understand that part of the reason it is there is because the light turns red when the water runs out. I really don't see that this is necessary for my use because I only run it for 6-8 hours overnight and running on high it still doesn't run out of water. I just fill it up each night before bed.
On another note, some reviewers complain that it doesn't do much to raise the overall humidity levels in the room. Well, I would say what do you expect from a travel sized unit? That being said, I just set it on my night stand and point it toward the bed. Why would I care if the other side of the room gets humid? My sleep has greatly improved!
If it ever malfunctions in the future I will update this review.
