We got this just a month or so ago because my 6 month old son got sick with a cold. He was miserable! Coughing, sneezing and was having a hard time sleeping because of it. In the past with my other kids, I had always used a Vicks Vaporizer so this time I went looking for the same thing. We went to Walmart and there were a few other brands but Vicks has been around forever (I think eve...

A couple months ago I got the flu, and I got it BAD!  I was so stuffed up it was difficult to breathe.  I must also add that I am pregnant so I was unable to take the usual cold medications for relief.  Finally after 3 sleepless nights my mom came to the rescue.  She bought me a Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer.  I gave it a try and had my first good night's sleep in days...

We live in a suburb of Chicago and while it is usually humid in the summer, it is not very humid in the winter. My nose clogs and I have trouble sleeping. I was advised by many to get a humidifier. I had no idea there were so many choices for humidifiers. Did we want a warm mist, cold mist, ultrasonic, filter free. After some research and looking around, I decided on the Vicks Warm Mist Humidif...

I saw this humidifier at Lowe's and I had to have it, even though it was more expensive than what I usually pay for humidifiers. I have propane heat and it can get very dry at my house, so I usually buy a new humidifier each year. I have asthma and allergies, and one of my big offenders is mold. I usually don't keep a humidifier longer than a winter season because they are so hard to cl...

We bought Reli On's Warm mist humidifier when my baby caught a cold. It worked great for several weeks. It is not very heavy so it can be moved from one room to another with ease. Lately it has started giving us one problem. It runs for a little and then it quits. My husband said air bubblrs are to blame so we cleaned it and let it dry for a few days. It works fine again. It uses inhalant s...

I have had allergies as long as I can remember. I did four years of allergy shots, and I take a daily allergy medication. However, I still need something to help keep the dust and pet hair to a minimum inside my house.My mom bought me an Oreck air cleaner for my dorm room when I went off to college. It was great for the 70-year-old dorm I was living in. Now I have one in the living room, one in...

Our house, which was built several decades ago, has a basement that is partially underground. Old houses built like this usually have some dampness in the basement so it is best to keep dry as possible. I use a dehumidifier to help keep the basement dry. Dehumidifiers help to clean the air and protect furniture and other items. They also help with allergies by keeping mold from happening. Recen...

All you tight wads out there, I can here you now "$20 for a filter..that's insane!"  But, let me tell you (one penny pincher to another), it is worth EVERY PENNY!Both my son and I have horrible allegies.  We both actually should be on allergy shots but I am avoiding that like the plague.  Five years ago a poorly supervised nursing student gave me about 100 x the amo...

I saw this item on QVC one day and thought it might be a great item for our larger bathroom.  The host said it would eliminate odors and at the same time you would have a night light.  That seemed like a great duo to me and when I'm bored and sleepy a lot of things sound good to me!This Ionic Air Cleaner/Freshener with the Light does a good job of making t...

  Our bedroom gets so dry in the winter that we wake up coking on the dry air.  Finally we decided to go out and get a humidifier.  I am not going to lie, two things made up my mind on the Reli(On cool mit hu,idifier.  One, the price, it was the least expensive one.  Two, no need to replace the filter.  Simply rinse and flip the filter before each filling.&nbs...

Every year when the weather gets cold and we turn our heat on, we also plug in  the humidifier.  I am one who gets shocks from everthing. Everytime i touch someone it transfers to them. My kids purchased this for me,what a relief. Honeywell is also a brand name, and the 4 gallon cool moisture replaces the dryness in my home. Dry air is pulled through the system, and a fan bl...

 I originally purchased my humidifier because I was looking for something to drown out the bark from the neighbors dogs while I was sleeping. I did not want a fan because I have a small bedroom and it seemed to give me sinus problems. A humidifier puts cool, moist and filtered air back into a room which is beneficial to your skin and sinuses. What attracted me to this humidifer is tha...

A couple months ago we were looking into getting an air purifier just to improve our breathing. We looked around for a bit and came upon a site for the EcoBox. This small box sends out a solution that kills everything from ecoli to samonilla. It kills cigarette smoke and chimney smoke as well. This small box even removes odors from your home. We have cats so that means we have a litter box and ...

When I was diagnosed with allergies, especially dust mite allergies, my doctor told me to buy an air cleaner for my bedroom. He explained that we spend more hours in that room than any other room in our house, so that's the best place to use it.I bought another brand before this one. It worked well, but was noisy. If I was in the room below my bedroom, I could hear it running. I assumed the...

I bought this air purifier during the haze period which was so bad that our country need to declare state of emergency. It comes in handy during the SARS period too!Pros: This machine not only cleanses the air but also add moisture to the air. It works by sucking in the polluted air, then trapping all the pollutants in the water and lastly the cleaned air is released back into th...

When I lived with my sister I had used dettol neutral air regularly. It not only removes the bad odor and bacteria but also refreshes the whole room with a lingering effect. The spray stays for long and doesn’t require too much of it in a single go.  Most importantly it acts as disinfectant and shields us from germs and diseases. Children are safe and secure. I feel, it should be u...

I'm usually really good about doing research and educating myself before I make a big purchase.  However, in a few situations I've become desperate enough to try even a gimmicky product, if I thought it might help.  This was one of those purchases. For most of my life I've had to deal with allergies every spring and summer.  They would always be at their worst when I ...

The HAC-504 replacement filter removes minerals and pollutants from the water. The ProTec antimicrombial treatment prevents growth of mold,fungus, algae, and bateria on the filter. Material  that the filter is made from, is reinforced for maximum use. Also with a dry lift handle it keeps your hands dry and clean when changing the filter. You should change the filter about every two months,...

We purchased this ReliOn humidifier a few months ago when my daughter was sick with RSV. Her pediatrician suggested it. We didn't get to shop around and pretty much just bought the first one we saw because we needed it fast. This one was at a pretty good price so we went with it. This humidifier is very quiet. This was a huge improvement from another one we had. It has two moisture settings...

Every winter I suffer from nasal discomfort and headaches from the dry air. I bought this little humidifier after seeing it on QVC and I am quite happy with my purchase.Humidifier is small and very easy to set up and runs for 9 hours after you fill it up. You can use regular tab water but if you have hard water at home they recommend using bottled water. I've used tab water for over a year ...
