Ideal for those living with sensitivities to dust and allergens, this two-in-one air washer delivers cleaner, healthier, more breathable air. The unit not only adds humidity to the air--twice as much as competitive models, it also effectively cleans the air with a permanent filter, which traps 99 percent of airborne particles such as dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and mold spores. Even more, the air purifier reduces airborne germs such as bacteria and viruses, while its odor-lock pre-filter helps reduce common household odors. The energy-efficient appliance uses less electricity than a 25-watt light bulb, and its permanent filter means no expensive replacement filters to buy. Other thoughtful details include electronic LCD controls for adjusting the humidity output, extremely quiet operation, and helpful lights that indicate when the tank needs refilling or the filter needs cleaning. The filter can be cleaned by simply rinsing it out with water, and the water tray, tank, and water wheels can be run through the dishwasher to clean as needed. The air washer measures approximately 16 by 12-1/2 by 18-1/2 inches.

very disappointed
I ordered this with high hopes and quickly became very disappointed. After the first day it began to leak excessively all over the floor. I took the unit apart to look for any obvious signs of a problem but found nothing. Put it back together again and within a day, it leaked again. I decided that I must have just gotten a "lemon" so I opted to replace it with another identical unit, which Amazon did replace very quickly-I had a new in 3 days! After the 3rd day of running the unit, it too began to leak excessively. Luckily, I had set the unit in a large rubber maid container so it did not leak all over the floor. I think there is an obvious manufacturer defect with this unit that must have been overlooked. I am currently searching for another product that is also an air cleaner & a humidifier all in one but am not having much luck. The design and concept of this one is very similar to the design of the Air O Swiss air washer. May give that one a try.

Good Product
I've used this product for almost 4 months now. I have had no problems with leaks or anything else. It works great. I live in an apartment, and only use it in my bedroom. Now that allergy season is here, I definitely notice the difference. My room is just fine, and pretty allergen free. When I walk out of my bedroom, I start getting a stuffy nose and sneezing from the allergens. It also does a good job in keeping my room humid.

Good product, but has design flaws...
...or alternatively quality control issues. I had, like the previous review, a leaking problem. It's a sneaky problem which I am almost 100% sure of is related to the filling cap on the tank. The problem with the vertical tank is that the only thing that prevents too much water to enter the basin is the vacuum created in the tank when the water leaves it. If that vacuum is disrupted the water will just continue to flow into the basin until it overflows. In this case it's the cap that is not sealing properly. The seal gradually loosens over a couple of hours until something gives way and the water starts flowing out. So if the unit looks fine when you set it up you might wake up (hopefully) around 2 am in the morning with a wet floor. I am on my second unit now which seems ok but its being monitored closely and sits in a rubbermaid container until it proves its not a bed wetter anymore. I spoke with the distributer (Kaz) who claim that this model does not show any excessive amount of warranty claims. I am not sure if they would ever to admit to anything else though. Another potential issue I found is that the disc that are spinning inside the unit ([...]) are sometimes a bit mis-aligned. For instance one of the discs might be too close to the edge and generates a scraping noise. You can remedy this by just removing one of the discs from the axle.

Aside from these flaws I think the unit works great when in working order. The dics turn nice and quiet in the water basin and the fan is silent enough on the lowest setting. It keeps the humidity well and when it reaches the desired level it shuts off saving both electricity and on the noise levels. The unit can be set on continuous use which the manual calls "automatic". Unfortunately its not very specific about what that mode does, in my opinion it just seems like its permanently on regardless of the environmental humidity. This would be useful in the summer when the humidity is high enough for the unit to shut down but you still want to benefit from the units filtering qualities (pollen, dust, mold, etc.)
I like the fact that it has a washable filter that does not need exchanging. You have the option of an additional disposable coal filter to catch smells but its not mandatory.

The display is nice and crisp and with a pretty blue back light so it's easy to control in the dark should you need to. The display shuts off after a few seconds so you don't need to worry about that glare that some products create from persistent led's and back lights.

All in all its a good product (when working), but has some design/quality control issues that might want you to think twice, or at least make sure you have a good return policy if you are affected by these issues.
