Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bionaire BWM5905-U Germ-Free Warm-Mist Humidifier with UV-Light Technology
Customer Review: quiet but ineffective
Summary: 2 Stars
Puts out a minimum amount of humidity. The water reservoir can only hold about half a gallon and slowly emits it over the course of 7-8 hours. You can barely even see the stream of water vapor. However, it is super quiet, save the occasional gurgle. The blue light is also super annoying and you can't turn it off at night. Would only work for an exceptionally small room.Customer Review: don't buy this
Summary: 1 Stars
As the other reviewers said, do not buy this. I was suckered into it because I liked the features and the way the product looks. Unfortunately the product designers did not consider usability -- they designed the (allegedly germicidal) near-ultraviolet LED light to be close to the steam outlet, so that when you run the unit in a dark room, bright circles of blue light appear on the ceiling. And guess which frequencies of light signal our sleeping brain to wake up? That's right -- blue light. Stupid.
It took 4 encounters with Bionaire customer service to ascertain that it is not possible for customers to disable this light.
Plus, the unit stopped working after about 10 uses. Tried to find the owner's manual at the Bionaire website. Couldn't -- this product isnt' even on the Bionaire website.
Don't buy it. I'm never buying from Bionaire again.

Purchased this unit on line but not from Amazon this review is not about amazon ....only the bionaire BWM5905-U,... filled it with water, plugged it in,...turned it on,....left the room to do some computer work,...smelled something,....lookin the room,..it had burst in to flames,...flames shooting up 2 feet,...threw a towel over it...threw it outside,....water was coming out the bottom,..flames out the top,...even if it had ran out of water,..which it did not,...it has a fail safe to shut off if empty....so no i would not buy this unit...my family almost died and have about 1000.00 dollars worth of damage to our home and still no humidifier.

Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this in the morning. Returned it 4 hours later!
Failed to emit and properly work within those 4 hours!
Do not be fooled by the sophistication of the product(UV Light). Seems like an afterthought to poor function.
I read other reviews that this could start a fire. Who wants a humidifier that could essentially start a fire anyways.
This will break down on you eventually look at other popular brands in the same price range. Definitely read the reviews.
Beware the Bionaire!!
Customer Review: poor parts availability
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a Bionaire CM-1 that was used very little. However the plastic in the tank cap deteriorated and the cap fell apart. They do not stock this part even though there are numerous customers on internet looking for it. I did not want a freebie but just to purchase the part. It is a shame to have to throw out a good humidifier because the manufacturer does not support with parts. I would assume that this applies to all their units and would not buy from them again.
