Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air-O-Swiss E2441 Evaporator HumidifierCustomer Review: Works great. Doesn't hold enough water. Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this humidifier, even though it's not as powerful as other ones I've had. My primary reason for loving this product is that I don't have to haul the water container around to fill it. You just pour water in the top, like a flower pot! That being said, I wish it held more water. I fill it twice a day.
We run it at top speed most of the time, because the slower speed is SO slow that it doesn't provide much humidification. I don't find the noise to be a problem. You can hear it if you are listening for it, but it's like "white" noise, and it's not that loud.
The wicks last two to three months, and they cost approximately $22 each. This isn't so much more than what I've paid for lesser humidifier wicks/filters.
We've had this for two years, and I haven't had any significant problems. It sits on a hardwood floor. No leaks or any damage to the floor, and it's in a place where it doesn't get knocked around, so I haven't had problems with stability (as noted by another reviewer). Even so, it seems pretty stable to me, especially when it's full.
I haven't replaced the silver stick, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything anyway. We have a water softener, so there are no mineral deposits; it just gets a little slimy in there. I do take it apart once a week (okay, maybe once every two weeks) and clean the slime out of the bottom of the water tank. I put some vinegar and water in it and let it sit for an hour, then wipe it out and rinse. I've had to do this with every humidifier I've ever owned, so I don't see it as an unusual problem.
The only issue I have is that I tend to overfill it. If you overfill, the wick doesn't sit in the water and it dries out (and then your humidifier doesn't work). Just be mindful of that, and you'll be fine.
Also, it looks kind of neato. I had someone ask me what the "egg" was, and they were impressed when I revealed that it's our humidifier!
