 LOVE MY LASKO HUMIDIFIER January 8, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
HAVE USED THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. AND IT IS GREAT !! THE MAIN REASON I LOVE IT, IS THAT UNLIKE OTHERS I HAVE TRIED IN THE PAST, THERE IS NO WHITE DUST COLLECTING ON MY FURNITURE, OR TV SCREEN, I ALSO USE A SHARPER IMAGE AIR CLEANER, AND WITH THE OTHERS, IT WOULD HAVE A BUNCH OF THE WHITE DUST COLLECT ALL OVER IT TOO.
IF ANYONE KNOWS HUMIDIFIERS, THE WHITE DUST YOU GET FROM USING THEM MAKES YOU JUST WANT TO TOSS THEM OUT THE DOOR. AND WITH THE LASKO, THERE IS NONE.
IT IS A GREAT UNIT.

This is my third humidifier in as many months. I tried an expensive ultrasonic with a filter but it still produced a grotesque amount of white dust. I then tried a warm mist unit but the humidistat did not work at all and the boiling chamber quickly became caked with mineral deposits that were hard to remove.
The Lasko unit is well designed and built reasonably well for the money. White dust does not seem to be a problem and the circulation of the water seems to prevent bacteria growth. It does require cleaning but they all do.
I have not used it long term, but it seems be a great product in the two weeks I have used it. The replacement filters are reasonably priced and available directly from the company (there is a sticker with their toll free number next to the refill cap which was thoughtful).
I sent an email to the company with a question and they responded promptly.
I am giving the unit five stars because it is amazingly hard to find a humidifier that even approaches acceptability. I was looking for a humidifier that does not produce white dust, has a functioning humidistat, and is not a germ factory. This unit seems to meet the criteria.
Lasko has the best humidifier concept January 25, 2008
I have had several Holmes humidifiers and Lasko humidifiers since getting rid of the last of the old permanent console Sears belt humidifiers that clogged and put mineral dust into the air.
The Laskos just run and run season after season (clean them out with muriatic acid or toilet bowl cleaner at the end of each season) and replace the paper cascade with a metal Honeywell cascade once and forget it. Do not attempt to clean the aluminum cascade filter in muriatic acid (toilet bowl cleaner).
I used to be able to get both Lasco and Holmes at Wal-Mart, but they seem to only carry the inferior Holmes now. That does increase filter/wick sales since you are supposed to replace that every month on the Holmes units.
On the other hand I pitched one Holmes whose wick clogged in 1 month and am about to pitch another one. The wicks constantly clog with minerals and quit working and the water valves on the containers never seem to open properly.
I am tired of replacing Holmes filters or having the unit fail to operate and metal Honeywell filters will not "wick" water to keep this type working. I have even added spacers to solve the valve failure problem, but they have to be centered perfectly or the valves cock to the side and still fail to open!

At 1st glance this would appear to be a great humidifier based on features alone, but after 1+ month of use, I'm frankly starting to wonder why I gave it 2 stars a moment ago. We have an older, conventional tabletop unit we're bringing out of the closet as soon as this one quits, which likely won't be long now.
The water reservoir is too tall to refill in the sink, & at a couple of gallons is heavy enough to make it awkward flipping it over to place back on the base -- you want to carry it upside down because the cap leaks. Because it won't fit under the sink's faucet, cleaning it with bleach water & rinsing several times (as recommended once a week) is a major chore.
The filters are supposed to be anti-microbial -- they're not. Water drips on the filters from the top, which is supposed to prevent parts of the filter from drying out like it does when filters sit in the water -- the whole outside of the filter dries out instead so you don't get much if any airflow. Cleaning the filters once a week is recommended, and necessary, but after soaking them in vinegar & water, they are very hard to get back in place... The main unit lifts off the base, and you have to lay it, dripping water, on its side to place the filters which, when wet, are too short! But that's OK as you have to clean the mineral scum off the inside of the unit anyway.
Construction is extremely cheap and flimsy, plus mineral deposits form at all the seams making it look nasty. The waterfall window is just for looks, and gets scummed up with minerals. I expect the tubing will get clogged before the winter season is over also. The humidistat, which is supposed to turn the unit off at a set humidity level, worked the first 3 or 4 days & apparently quit. Because it sits on a separate, flimsy base, you have to be very careful to place it somewhere it won't get bumped. And for some reason we have never figured out, 3 times it has flooded the surrounding 4 foot area with water.
