Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air-O-Swiss 32838 Ultrasonic Humidifier
Customer Review: Absolute waste of money, save yourself the frustration
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item 2 years ago. After about 3 nights of use it began leaking all over the place. After days of frustrating calls to their customer service department they talked me into buying a replacement filter cartridge ($30)- no replacement or warranty. I waited 2 weeks, got the cartridge, replaced it, got it working and it leaked gallons. Again, after days of arguing, I finally got a person who agreed to send me a new unit. I received it, and I got 3 nights of use and though it did not leak this time, it would not create mist on night 3- did not work. Unit monitor kept saying it needed cleaning. I called again, and they sent me yet again another cartridge, I replaced it, got one night and then nothing. I put it in the garage and let it sit there. Today I took it out, replaced the cartrige yet again and of course it did not work. In frustration, I am writing this note. This thing costs $200.00!!!!! We purchased a $25 kid's eeephant humidifier a year ago and it has never stopped working.Customer Review: Does not humidify, period
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, there isn't much that I can say that is good about this humidifier.
Pros:
1. Extremely quiet. You have to put your ear up to it to barely hear it.
2. Nice controls, displays and is easy to use.
3. Sort of easy to fill.
4. No white dust for me.
5. Watching the mist in the air is mildly fun for the first few minutes.
Cons:
1. Doesn't humidify, period. When I started it, it said 29%. Three days later it still says 29%. An external hygrometer went up a couple of percent, that's it. I had to refill it 3 times a day, so I don't know where all of the water is going. Oh, this is in a small bedroom also.
2. Some water is always spilled when refilling, so keep a towel around.
3. It can't be placed on the floor. It has to be three feet in the air according to the directions.
It's going to be returned tomorrow.

Customer Review: Do NOT buy, if you have hard water...
Summary: 1 Stars
I live in Utah and purchased two of these for my home. Within a day everything was covered with white dust, on calling their customer service, they asked for my zip code...they then informed me they are not recommended for my area, due to the hard water, and to return them to the store. Unfortunately not before the dust had got into my computer hard drive and DVD players, rendering them virtually useless.
Why distribute them in a hard water area in the first place ? This is a law suit waiting to happen.
I purchased one Evaparotive type of Humidifier from Sears for half the price and there is no dust whatsoever and it is maintaining a comfortable 50% humidity throughout my house.
Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
Read the all the reviews for this piece of junk and do not buy. Poor customer service and they do not honor warranty. I would suggest everyone who has bought this to file a complaint with Better Business Bureau. I have had unit for only two months and the tank is cracking all over. It also leaks out of base onto floor. At first I thought it was nice but did not last for more than a few weeks before it had problems. This is a $200 unit. My $30 unit I got at grocery store locally works fine and has worked all winter. Do not buy any of their products. That is the only power we have against these lousy companies. I wish I had read the Amazon reviews first.
