Digital camera reviews of Honeywell #V5100N Ultrasonic Humidifier
Digital camera Review: Great product, no problems at all!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had mine for a few months now and have used it for my kids very bad colds and also they both had RSV in November and had to use it for that as well. It's quiet, you wouldn't know it was on. You can adjust the direction it sprays. The water lasts all night long and for one nap the next day. I wash once a week like the directions say. It's also neat looking, not hospital like :) We're thinking of buying one for our own bedroom w/ all this dry weather!Digital camera Review: Great when working, but unreliable
Summary: 2 Stars
As devotees of ultrasonic humidifiers, we snapped up 3 of these units to compete with the forced-air heat. There is a lot to like: large capacity tank, very quiet, fine mist. Unfortunately, I think there is some type of engineering problem with either the ultrasonic transducer or the water-level sensing circuit. We have sent two back for replacement, because they simply quit working -- regardless of the cleaning and demineralizing routine. One replacement failed after two uses. One of the remaining three is now becoming erratic, and the ultrasonic transducer is delaminating. The water demineralizing cartridges are a great idea, and work pretty well, but be aware that they don't prevent all of the mineral dust. Still, use them.So in short, these units are a great idea, but they need some better ruggedizing. My Holmes ultrasonic is 10 years old and still runs fine. You're lucky to get 10 months from these.
Digital camera Review: DON"T BUY!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these due to the reviews. They don't work! I had to send one back which was so noisy, they replaced but even if you clean these everyday, in the middle of the night they stop working. When they say sensitive to things in the water they are NOT kidding. I have never had a humidifier that needs so much work to get it to operate. quiet yes, but half the time not putting out the steam. Stick to Holmes unitsDigital camera Review: good value

We recently bought this product for our newborn. Since our purchase she has been able to breathe more freely and the dryness of the air in our house is gone. No more stuffy noses or itchy skin. The only problem is that it is hard to refill the water.Digital camera Review: Clean, safe, and easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been very happy with this humidifier. The cool mist is very fine, so it feels more "misty" and less "damp" or "rainy" than some other humidifiers we've tried. The controls over how much or little mist it produces are effective, and it's very quiet. Although this product is a little more expensive than some other types of humidifiers, it's worth it. I know several people whose babies have been burned by warm mist humdifiers, and they also tend to breed bacteria, neither of which is a concern with this product. Also although we originally bought a cheaper humidifier, it turned out not to be as inexpensive as we first thought because we kept having to replace the wick and it quickly broke. This humidifier doesn't have "hidden costs" and is sturdy and well made. Also if you take off the lid and watch what it does to produce the mist, it's really cool (not a reason to buy the product in itself, but interesting ....)
