Description of Bionaire BCM657-U Digital Cool-Mist Tower Humidifier with Permanent Filter
The Bionaire Cool Mist humidifier helps to prevent the undesirable signs of dry air by adding cool moisture to keep any home cleaner, healthier, and more energy efficient. Designed for medium size rooms, the Bionaire Cool Mist uses a Permanent Filter that can be washed and reused so it never has to be replaced. A digital comfort control on the front of the unit allows the user to optimally manage their room's humidity. The unit displays the humidity level of the room as well as allows the user to select a desirable humidity level. The humidifier will automatically adjust to reach and maintain your desired humidity level. A full tank will emit moisture for up to 36 hours, and the FilterClean Monitor will inform users when the filter should be cleaned.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bionaire BCM657-U Digital Cool-Mist Tower Humidifier with Permanent Filter
Customer Review: Great humidifier with perfect white noise
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to replace our small Vick's humidifier which was going on the fritz. I found this one at our local big box warehouse store for a steal.
I love the humidity read out, and just to test it, as a previous reviewer suggested, I breathed on the sensor (which is attached to the power cord) and watched the number go up.
We started using the "Accuset" feature which allows you to put the humidifier on a mode that tries to keep the humidity at an exact number setting. We used the (A2) setting and aimed for a 45 humidity level target. We found that the stopping and starting as it got near its target level was too disruptive for night time use . So I returned it to the regular (2) (Medium) setting. I may try the (1) setting tomorrow night to see if we like the sound even better. (But with a geriatric snoring pug sharing the bed, one does need a LOT of white noise!)
The cleaning seems pretty straightforward, I probably won't be following the daily cleaning instructions (naughty but practical) but I will definitely use the weekly cleaning instructions. We seem to have a lot of minerals/hard water, so I have been using straight vinegar in my old humidifier weekly to clean the base buildup. It says dishwasher safe but I don't see that in the instructions. If I were to put the base in the dishwasher I would definitely use the top rack as the bottom rack often "melts" things. I also like that the filter is "permanent" and you don't have to buy new ones all the time. I am sure that it will eventually get too grody to clean, and I will buy a replacement but this is a good setup. It has a read out on the top of the unit that lets you know when you need to clean the filter. There are two "locks" that hold the base and filter in place, you just twist to "unlock" position to pop the base and/or filter out.
A neat trick I read in the instruction booklet is if you find you are filling the water too often you can fill the reservoir tank, put it in the base unit, then, after you hear it emptying into the base (when it stops gurgling) you can re-fill the reservoir in order to extend the fun time.
My husband is a light sleeper and he can sleep with the white noise, but like our last humidifier, I have to turn the lighted part away so the glow doesn't keep him awake. That's no problem as the unit looks nice either way.
