Boneco Air-O-Swiss S450

Advantages: Cooled steam

Disadvantages: high noise level, slightly increases humidity, weekly has to be descaler, cumbersome

Comment: for its price has low capacity and poor performance.
After installing individual humidity sensors, I realized that the device incorrectly detects humidity. Stably underestimates by 10% (for example, instead of 50% it shows 40%)

Advantages: Moisturizes.

Disadvantages: At full power, it sounds almost like a kettle. In the quietest mode, it is still audible, and the effect of moistening tends to zero. Scale on the heating disc immediately after several days of operation (water from the filter).

Comment: If he knew that he was making such a noise, he would never have bought it. It’s not worth the money, the microcircuit, the heating disk and the plastic — the red price to it is thousands of 4. and then a lot ...

Advantages: Makes an honest 50% humidity for 4 hours in a room of 18 m2 with ajar window

Disadvantages: makes noise so that it is easier to boil a kettle, it will cost you 12 times cheaper

Comment: I would like to "thank" everyone who gave a good comment about this "apparatus." I bought it, brought it, turned it on in the evening - it’s really noisy like a boiling kettle, 50-55 dB, although the seller’s website says "it works silently" and <35 dB. Room 18 m2, can not sleep no one - not me, not a wife, not a baby. 2 modes - auto and eco. Auto mode - the humidity will be 50%, but to maintain it, it will “boil” almost continuously. And at the same time, you will raise the temperature in the room from the coveted 22 recommended for the baby, by the way, to 24 (it’s already undesirable for the baby) and you will feel like in a bath or like in the tropics. Eco mode - will be noisy at 40-45-50dB, humidity 40-45%, but if it goes down, then you wake up from the cheerful bubbling :-) As a result - do not take back "because you turned it on" - thanks to the seller.

Advantages: Effectively moisturizes (judged not even by interest, but by the condition of the skin), does not leave a raid on the furniture, it is impossible to burn yourself, it is convenient to fill in water, a beautiful design and a size compact enough for such performance.

Disadvantages: Why does everyone write that there are no consumables? There is a disk that collects limescale, and it needs to be changed every two weeks with hard water (as well as pouring Calc-off for cleaning) —this is not possible to buy these disks in Moscow, they were ordered from Kiev in bulk.
In normal mode, it works quite noisy - at night it is necessary to reduce the power level to the minimum.

Comment: If you want a high-quality humidifier of the middle class (not conditional for little money and not semi-industrial with its dimensions) - this is an excellent choice.

Advantages: Moisturizes very quickly, beautiful, functional. There is nothing to break, do not need consumables. Most likely a long service life.

Disadvantages: Increased maximum noise level. But on the average power and especially on a small one, I did not hear the noise from the work. High power consumption. PRICE.

Comment: There are three types of humidifiers: ultrasonic, traditional and steam. Ultrasound SW. in fact, they only spray water, and do not evaporate it. That is, all that is present in the water is sprayed with it. This lime, which leads to the appearance of white plaque on all surfaces, including in the lungs. All sorts of bacteria and bacilli.
Traditional water evaporates by heating it with ventilated room air. If the room is hot, there is a large amount of exhalation, if it is cold in the room, then the moisturizing is slow. Anyway, this is a very slow way of moisturizing. Because of this, the water can stagnate, sour. Since water does not undergo boiling, water is not disinfected. That is, everything that can be mixed up in water (bacteria) will evaporate with it.
The steam water evaporates due to boiling. The evaporation rate does not depend on air temperature. With this method of evaporation, white bloom does not form and infections spread through water.

Advantages: Everything is very convenient and thoughtful. Refueling and transfer of the tank do not cause problems. Good moisturizing. High consumption, compared with ultrasound, electricity is compensated by the lack of expensive filters and sterile steam. Beautiful design. Easy care.

Disadvantages: Very high price for a "kettle" with a plastic canister.

Comment: They bought it because a dry cough appeared in children during the heating season, which did not go away for a long time. The younger one just happened to be out of breath at night. And it really helped!

Advantages: Perfectly moisturizes, quickly and discreetly
no white bloom
can be used for flavoring and inhalation
produces clean air
assembly Czech Republic
moisturizes not only the room, but also the whole apartment (we have 50 sq.m)
no consumables

Disadvantages: Price
Noise, but we solve it by installing it in the kitchen at night.

Comment: In fact, this is the same steamer only more powerful. Before that, there was an ultrasonic 7176. We were worn out with a white bloom (maybe the water is of course not very good, but it was written in the manual that it was necessary to pour unfiltered), with the search for filters, and most importantly it did not moisten more than one room. And this model quickly and easily moisturizes the entire apartment (we put it in the room or in the kitchen), without flying, the steam DO NOT BURN (we have a small child, it was important), the steam is not visible! (It went up from the ultrasound with a white pillar)

Advantages: Informative display, logical control, compact size

Disadvantages: The infection is noisy, but you get used to it quickly. Dear.

Comment: Bought this device to replace the ultrasound. That of course is quieter by an order of magnitude, but the white bloom on everything that is possible and impossible? got us, so the choice fell on this model. The device is beautiful, compact, with an informative display and logical control. one minus - noise. But over time you get used to it. Drives up moisture quickly, especially with the windows closed. And no plaque. Only clean more often with our water should be from the scale, although we fill the filter.
Great machine, but a little expensive for an advanced kettle :)

Advantages: A lot of them! Excellent performance, fast boiling water, large removable water tank, convenient operation, good appearance, excellent workmanship, "warm steam" - thanks to this design feature, the steam has time to cool down on the way from the evaporator to the air vent, so it is impossible to burn with steam not hot

Disadvantages: The price is clearly too high.

Comment: Very successful model, there's nothing to complain about! :) Initially, I was only looking for a steam humidifier, since "traditional" is not effective enough, and ultrasound all leave white bloom on furniture and technology. In our region, hard water, messing with distilled water for an ultrasonic humidifier is not an option. To my great surprise, there are not many models of steam humidifiers, although the design of this humidifier is extremely simple and effective. In fact, this is a large tank with water according to the principle of a bird feeder, from which water is supplied to the “saucer” with a heating element as needed. This model is the only steam humidifier from those that were on sale in my city (Rostov-on-Don), all the rest (cheaper analogues) are made to order from Moscow, at your own peril and risk, so I decided not to take the risk and take it, despite the price.

Advantages: A decent unit, if you still close the windows and the door to the room, then the humidity level quickly reaches the set level.
Large water tank, enough for the whole night.

Disadvantages: Noisy, as steam, then boils like a kettle, but it is possible to adjust the power level and set the minimum at night.
The price is too high, perhaps due to the fact that the assembly of the Czech Republic

Comment: Chose it as it has:
1) Hygrostat, measures the level of current humidity and bringing to the desired, reduces evaporation power.
2) Steam - you can pour water from the mains. Pour from the filter, the scum is still formed, you can clean it with citric acid.
