Tools and Hardware Reviews of Venta VS207 Sonic Digital Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier
Customer Review: First Humidifier and great experience so far....
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to get a humidifier because my wife and I have been getting sick with very bad sinus infections due to the dryness of our apartment.
Bought the unit @ BB&B and got the unit up and running in about 15 mins. most of the time was spent on filling the unit with water. I found it helpful to set the unit on a chair with a towel under it so it would not be awkward. After filling the unit and soaking the filter I placed it onto the base (with a little effort).
After turning the unit on it blinked for about 5 mins while the water started filling the base and offsetting the auto-off function and then started misting. So far i love my humidifier. The ONLY con so far is that the warm mist is cool, and not as warm as i would have liked it, but i heard that you need to leave the unit on warm for a while before it can heat the water properly.
Enjoy this unit, it is great!
Customer Review: I like it so far

This is my first humidifier. I bought it over a year ago after reading reviews on several different models. This is the second winter I've used it and it has worked well for me. It puts out plenty of vapor for my large bedroom, but I do have it about 3 feet from me for maximum benefit. It goes through about 3/4 of a tank each night as I set it on maximum output and continuous mode. I found that if I set it to a certain humidity level, when it reached that level, it would turn on and off all the time which was pretty annoying. When running in continuous mode, it was very quiet with some gurgling of the water every so often. The tank is pretty easy to fill up by turning it over, unscrewing the filter and filling the tank. I still wonder why they couldn't put the fill mechanism on the top though. That would be an improvement. So far, the reliability has been great. Hope it will keep running well for me.Customer Review: Better than expected

Sometimes, reading reviews on Amazon can make you a little nuts. Every product has a few unfavorable reviews, and it can make you hesitant to buy. I'm glad I went ahead with this purchase.
The Venta is of high quality construction, works well, and is easy to maintain. On the high setting, it pumps out an impressive cloud of vapor, but is whisper quiet. Controls are easy to understand. The humidistat seems to control well, but only goes in 5% increments. I don't see this as a problem, though - I challenge anyone to tell the difference between 35% and 38% RH just by "feel".
As one reviewer noted, when you first plug it in, the display flashes at you, and the unit doesn't do anything. This isn't mentioned in the manual, and looks like a malfunction. However, 10 minutes later and all is well. It only does this when unplugged for an extended period.
Customer Review: Awesome product, third Venta humidifier (all still working)...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two of the original Venta Sonic's that don't have the digital readout and am extremely pleased with them. I read the reviews of this new one and barely bought it... but good lord it's a great product. I don't have a hygrometer but I know I like the humidity where the readout says 45%, easy enough. This is my third humidifier from Venta [all are still working fantastic]. I gotta say something about the silly "white powder" that some people mention in their reviews - they're nuts...period....it's called dust people. There is no white powder whatsoever that comes out of a humidifier. People talk about white stuff on their TV's in their bedrooms - it's called dust; TV's are static magnets. Anyway, awesome product, buy with confidence, and buy the filters from the company's homepage - probably get a better deal on shipping than you would from a third party. Breath freely :)Customer Review: Super quiet; easy to use; no dust.

We bought this unit about 3 weeks ago from Bed Bath & Beyond (it was cheaper and I had a 20% off coupon). There is absolutely no noise from the motor. The only noise you hear is the occasional "glub glub" of the water moving through the unit. If your heat is on, your room will dry out quickly and the unit will kick and usually stay on until the heat shuts off. I was running this unit at 50% humidity in our baby's room and I would go through the 2 gallon tank in about 18 hours in the winter. The tank is not especially easy to clean if you felt you need to give it a good scrub and it is a little cumbersome to fill but I am very happy with it and we bought another one yesterday. To address one of the reviews--I cannot understand why anyone would want their humidity set lower than 30%. My research indicates that the appropriate amount of humidity for a room should be 50-55%.
