Product review (3 stars): Got rid of my itchy skin!
I was torn between rating this hudifier a 3 or a 4. I guess the noise level and the poor filter meter won out.

I've this hudifier for well over a year. I got it because I was itching horribly around the late fall of 2005, but only while I was in my apartment and only at night. I read on-line somewhere that the itching can be caused by the onset of winter and lack of humidity in the air of your home. The article I read said that homes with blowing heated air were drier than homes with radiant heat (my old apartment had radiant heat and there was a mold issue so I never had a lack of moisture I guess).

It definitely seems to work. The air doesn't seem to be moist, but my itching goes away when it's on. If I skip a winter night, the itching wakes me up. I had tried everything from changing bedding to buying non-allergenic pillows and this humidifier was the only thing that worked. I don't have to leave it on all night; about least 2 or 3 hours seems to work. It makes a lot of noise, but if you already use some kind of white noise-maker, this can take its place.

The filter meter rarely says my filter is clean even after I put a fresh one in with fresh water in the tank. I suspect it isn't very accurate. I buy my filters from Amazon New & Used where the sellers are very cheap. Usually I get more than once at a time and there's a bargain on shipping or a multi-purchase (like 3 for 2).

So I guess I recommend this humidifier because it works for actual problem. I just wish it were a little more high-tech.
