CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Great Humidifier -
We love this humidifier. It is fairly quiet and doesn't leave that white dust on everything. We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment and it does a nice job of keeping the humidity throughout the apartment.

Yep! Pass it up -
This humidifier leaves white mineral dust throughout the room that it is in. I also have to run it on high constantly, because it never reaches the right humidity level. It maybe adds 20% humidity to the room. My entire apartment is only 500 square feet, and I use a second humidifier in te bedroom, so it's not being expected to do too much.

Way to go Lasko -
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's Idea works - Crossflow air with downflow water cascade and runs and runs for years -
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 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 (or just replace the polymer cascades every year - they're really not filters, per se).

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 Holmes valve failure problem, but they have to be centered perfectly or the valves cock to the side and still fail to open!

Winter 2008 ADDENDUM:
After 4 years of operation I finally had to replace the metal cascade.
We also have noticed that these units do a pretty good job of cleaning the dust and cat hair out of the air (we have 3 cats). It does this in two ways, first, the filter catches most of the cat hair and can be backflushed every 2-3 months, secondly, the dust gets knocked down with the waterfall cascade and collected in the bottom of the container where there is a foam filter to prevent these particles from being recycled back to the pump. Wash out the bottom every couple of months and you have a pretty good air filter.
NOTE,: As an engineer, I modified the distribution tray on mine with larger holes so more water goes through the cascade and less is dumped over the overflow dam. Also put an orifice in the visual flow indicator to divert more back to the distribution tray.

ADEDENDUM #2: Just had the motor die on another humidifier and just purchased a Lasko 1120. Small, compact, unobtrusive in the living room, lowest initial price and just RUN forever! This may be my last humidifier I'll ever have to purchase!

LOVE MY LASKO HUMIDIFIER -
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.
