 "The Germs War Within" 2005-04-16
By junbae T (USA)
My attention to this book is from the author who also wrote"Grow Young With HGH", another goood book.



Infection Protection gives you inside things that you couldnot see easily.

This book should be in any one's library , generation by generation., sort of family medicine self-help.



Once get contacted with those melicious germs, you somehow

get prescriped by M.D., which ends up with many side-effects.



Preventive medicine is the best bet.

People donot give attention much about this, until it's too LATE.



These following books are also great.

"What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine MAY BE KILLING YOU" by Ray M.D.



"omega3 connection" by Andrew Stoll, M.D. and "the super Anti-Oxidants by James F. Balch, M.D.



There are few mistakes in "Infection Protection" such as,

on page 118 Omega 3 should be in flaxseed, and omega 6 should be in evening primrose.

Hoping that new edition will correct this.

 "Warning - Do Not Buy" 2008-03-14
By L. Baitis (Northern Virginia)
I have never written a review for a product but because this humidifier has been such a huge disappointment and waste of money I feel compelled to warn others. The biggest problem is that the fan sucks up water and continuously drips, very loudly! It is very annoying. In the middle of the night I have tried picking up the body off of the base, shaking it to drain all the water out of the fan, but 10 minutes later it's right back to drip, drip, drip. Of course you want to get a humidifier to increase the humidity in your room, but this one does not do the job. We have a digital humidity detector, after running this humidifier, full of water at the highest setting for more than 24 hours the humidity level in the room only changed by 1 percent, 22% to 23%. A comfortable humidity level for a room needs to be at least 30%. We have an older Honeywell humidifier for which I recently purchased new filters and the first night we ran it, the humidity in the room jumped to 35% and has consistently been in the 30s every time we run the humidifier. So I am certain not only does the Slant/Fin GF-240 have the most annoying dripping habit but it doesn't even do the job of adding humidity to the room. Save your money and spend it on a humidifier that works!

 "Best Humidifier I Have Owned" 2006-07-24
By John Wayne Cooper
So far I really like my new Slant/Fin GF-240 1.9 Ga Germ-Free Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier. The features I like best about it are the large capacity water tank, the ease of filling the tank, the use of tap water without getting mineral deposits and white dust, and its quietness on low fan. This humidifier is much better than the last two I owned. The first was a cool mist machine that sprayed fine droplets of water all over the room. The other was a hot mist machine that clogged up with minerals in the water and had to be cleaned with Lime Away about once per week. Needless to say, we have very hard water, but I have had no problems using it in my new Slant/Fin GF-320 humidifier.

 "Interesting definition of "ultrasonic"" 2009-10-14
By Mark Johnson (United States)
While this humidifier is the quietest one I've ever had, it's still quite loud in the bedroom at night. So, I'll have to move this humidifier to a different room in the house. My quest continues for a humidifier that is TRULY ultrasonic.

 "Works great and is quite." 2009-07-03
By J. Ingraldi (NC, USA)
We have had this humidifier for 6 months. It works great and is quite. The amount of humidity it distributes is easy adjust and the unit fairly easy to clean (comes with it's own brush). I definitely recommend it.

 "Does its job very well" 2009-05-30
By PenaltyShot (CA)
This unit got me through some very dry winter days. I'll list the pros and cons:



PROS:

1. It is thin and compact and can fit on a bedstand, unlike some of its big ugly hulking competitors.

2. It is almost completely silent!

3. The steam nozzle swivels so you can direct where it goes.

4. The translucent blue water chamber is nice for seeing the water level at a glance.

5. Finely adjustable mist levels, and hot/cold mist.



CONS:

1. The blue water chamber fills up from the bottom. So you have to take it off, turn it upside down and unscrew a cap in order to fill it up. Not a huge deal, but not the most convenient method either.

2. The entire unit has to be carried from the bottom since the blue water chamber merely sits on the top of the white section. Again, not a big deal once you have the unit where you want it.

3. The hot/cold mist didn't work for me. Maybe the heat element in mine is broken, but I didn't really feel the difference between the hot and cold settings. I didn't really care; cold mist was fine.

4. It's a little pricey as these devices go. But worth it, in my opinion.



Overall, a very nice unit.

 "First humidifier I ever bought." 2009-02-25
By Bank Of America (las vegas)
I looked for a long time reading reviews of humidifiers. I decieded on this one because of the cost and the dual options of cool and warm. The warm mist is barely noticable. The humidifer puts a lot of mist out on the highest level. I like it but I would try a different one next time since I don't have any other to compare it to.

 "Poor Design" 2009-02-20
By OkRon (USA)
The unit leaks bad....poor design as the rubber gasket was too big and would not seat correctly. I tried a couple of different times and could never get a good seal to prevent leaking.

 "Horrible Product!" 2009-09-06
By imgonna...
Please note that this unit does not produce "mist" but ONLY STEAM. The steam generated was very little and unit needed to be on for at least a couple hours before you could tell the difference. I got this originally due to the dry air in the winter but this did not help very much due to the lack of steam. Additionally, my unit leaked onto my hardwood floors and caused a short circuit in my bedroom! Be very careful how you place the unit (if the floor is slightly uneven or if the edge of the unit on a carpet) - the slightest tilt will cause the unit to leak! I was very disappointed overall and obviously threw the unit out after it caused a short circuit in my bedroom.

 "Works well but can be a bit loud and is very hard to clean" 2009-04-15
By Vladimir Levin (Calgary, AB, Canada)
I don't want to have to keep buying those mineral absorbtion pads so instead I clean the small stainless steel cup that boils the water. In order to do so I have to remove the water containers and the middle piece, then I have to poour vinegar diluted with water into the tub for several hours. To complete the cleaning I then add a bit of baking soda to get some fizz going and scrub. I do this every week. Admittedly the water here is very hard so this may not be a problem for others. The bottom line is the unit works well, but it is a pain in the neck to clean. Also at times the unit can become a bit loud and it occasionally wakes me up at night. It usually seems to quiet down after a little while. Over all this is a pretty decent product but I wish there were a way to make cleaning the unit less awkward and time consuming without resorting to those expensive pads.

 "Works great, hate the blue led" 2009-04-11
By Virginia (Illinois)
I moved from humid South Florida to the Midwest last fall. Obviously I am not used to the dry air in the winter. (In FL we look forward to a little drop in humidity in the winter!) By January I was in desperate need for a humidifier in the bedroom at night. I first purchased a cool mist humidifier and it made the air feel clammy. Returned it and got this one. It greatly relieved my dried out nose/sinuses & I slept a lot better. I managed not to get sick this winter & I never tried any Vics in the reservoir, so I can't comment on that feature.



Some reviewers have complained of the noise level. I do not find it a problem at all. The fan is barely noticeable. There is a soft boiling sound, and occasionally there is a little gurgle sound when air bubbles rise up in the tanks. It really does not bother me at all.



My only complaint about this unit is the annoying blue LED on the front of the unit. It is very bright and did bother me trying to sleep at night. I put a piece of tape over the LED, which looks ugly but solves the problem. I really don't understand manufacturers using these bright blue LED lights in products meant for use in a bedroom. It seems to be a trend, over the last few years several small appliances I've purchased have them. If it wasn't for this I would've given the humidifier 5 stars.

 "breathing easy" 2009-04-08
By Antoinette Palmieri
Two days before Christmas I came down with strep throat. After some research I decided to purchase this guy and it made a world of difference.



It is nice and quiet, and I only had to fill the tanks every other day. Easy to fill and clean. Plus I feel better knowing the water is being "de-germed" before it hits the air.

 "Happy after lots of research" 2009-04-05
By H (Ithaca, NY United States)
Winter in our new house is very dry - so I started researching humidifiers

After reading several sources, I decided I wanted a humdifier that was:



Steam vs. cold water

Low maintenance for cleaning - no expensive filters to replace

UV light for safer, bacteria killing properties

Tank that would last through the night

Quiet - so I can sleep with it on



This was one of the few humidifiers that met all the criteria

Now that we have used it for 3 months (every night), I can say that I'm very happy with this humidifier.



In addition to the other benefits mentioned above, there some others I was pleased to find.

1) The two tanks are VERY convenient. While the humidifier is running, you can remove one of the tanks and go fill it - while the other keeps water in the unit. The tanks are also a perfect fit in a bathroom sink basin. I was wondering if they'd be taller tanks that I'd have to fill with a bottle. Luckily, you can put it right into the bathroom sink - it's short enough to fit under the faucet, and stays in filling position without me having to hold it

2) Vicks makes a eucalyptis/vicks vapo-rub smelling solution that you can put in the top - it's been nice to have that option when fighting a cold.



As for the hard water concern. We have very hard water and often get lime deposits on the screens in our faucets. There is a solution made for humidifiers you can buy from target/walmart/kmart type stores (in the same location as the humidifiers) It helps soften the water. You put a capful in each tank evey time you refil them. This has seemed to work well- I don't see any white deposits on the heating element.

 "this humidifier is fabulous!!!!" 2009-06-11
By J. Mcginnis (beckley wv)
i went to walmart and bought a $40 humidifier thinking that all humidifiers are the same. after the third time of returning the $40 pieces of crap i found this wonderful product. this humidifier is wonderful for daysleepers. the first time that i turned it on i thought that it was broke until i saw the mist rolling out the top. COMPLETELY QUIET!! i love the fact that it has a humidity control. you can set it as low or as high as you want it. the only downfall is if you turn the setting all the way up it will burn through the tank of water in about 8-10 hours.

 "Worked great...for a month!" 2009-06-09
By Mr. James A. Weinberg (Brentwood, TN United States)
Really had high hopes for this thing, considering the cost. Sometimes you actually get what you pay for. But after a month or so it just plain quit. It appears the gold-colored coating on the atomizer plate just disintegrated! I called customer service and he took me through some steps that didn't fix it, then initiated the return procedure. We'll see if I get a refund or not.

 "Easy To Use" 2009-04-26
By H. Mayo (NY)
While the product is esy to use I found it was inadaquate for the size of our bedroom. It was a cold dry winter and the unit barly kept the humidity at exceptable levels. I also found it made white dust.The makers claim that it will not make white dust, and that was one reason I was willing to pay the high cost for this rather small unit. I would say I am most disappointed in the operation of this unit and not recommend it for purchase.

 "So Quiet" 2009-03-03
By Target lover (CA)
My mission was to find a humidifier that I could leave on at night when I go to sleep (I'm a musician so I'm extremely sensitive to noise). After trying a couple of 'super-silent' humidifiers that I ended up returning, I was very happy when I received this one - this one really IS 'super-silent'.



It's a simple cold-mist humidifier. Looks cute, compact and easy to clean (it even has a tiny cleaning brush attached to the base unit). It's a bit pricey for what it can do but If you're looking for a silent humidifier, this is the one.

 "Good, but not worth the $100" 2009-02-17
By Car Guy
I purchased this product because i thought that it would be soooo much better than the $39 humidifier that had previously purchased. Note, that there was nothing wrong with the old one. I simply lost track of it one summer. When I went looking for a new one, i was a little concerned about bacteria accumulating, and that is what drew me to this one. I also liked the color. I figured that it would blend in better in the room. Honestly, it is just very similar to the one that i purchased the last time from a drug store for $39. The main difference is that it is black, it has the filters and it makes a humming noise even when it is turned off. It produces the same amount of mist, it is roughly the same size container of water. I assume that the noise is relative to the electricity activating the antibacterial. And, since it goes through all the water in a single night, bacteria is really not an issue. I like this product ok, but had I to do it again, i would have saved the $70 and gone with a the drug store white one.

 "overpriced ?" 2009-08-12
By J. Biggers (North Carolina)
Overpriced? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what you expect it to do. It works well in small rooms that do not have tons of dust, smoke, or mold. And it is quiet at least on the low speed.



But I've found it cheaper ($10 less per replacement filter) at a local Target store.

 "Good product" 2008-09-02
By K. adamson (TN)
Like the other reviewer said, this air cleaner isn't good for a bedroom. but it only advertises 100 sq. ft. So I think it performs as stated. If the air filter is clogged you can vacuum it clean. It's suppose to last for 6 months. I bought it for my desk cubicle at work. It works great for that. The replacement filters are high ($20) and I didn't know the UV light wasn't replaceable, so that's why I gave it 4 stars.

 "just too much for one little guy to handle..." 2008-06-16
By A. Berger (College Station, TX)
I think germ guardian makes some very good products. I own a few of their plug in GG-1000 UV germ/odor killers and I like them. I got this unit because it had actual particle filtration and carbon filtration for odor removal. It looks like a great all in one package from a company that is making a decent name for themselves thus far in the all too marketing based field of air purification.



This unit is SMALL, and I mean small.. 8" x 6" x 3.5" It has a TINY air filter with a terribly high price tag to replace. For comparison, many other units which are large and have excellent consumer ratings cost less to replace the filter. The internal UV light is non-replaceable and the company makes no claim towards its longevity. It seems unlikely the light will last more than a few months.



The unit functioned well for a few days but after that its tiny filter became so clogged it barely output any air. The unit is not very quiet like the GG-1000 units when on high speed. Air output on low speed is negligible. In my opinion the unit would be adequate to purify the air volume of a car not a room.



I have owned the unit less than 2 weeks and I just purchased a 3M FAP02-RS to replace it. Hopefully I can take it back to big box mart with the replacement filter I already bought for it. There is no way I will change a filter out every two weeks just to keep it running correctly. Perhaps this is my fault, the size alone of this unit suggests its inability to handle a small bedroom. I had my doubts but I liked the GG-1000s.



Looking at the product description here, it says the filter is washable. Uhm.. it is made out of paper and NOTHING in the documentation (or common sense) suggests washing it. This "Photo-Catalytic Oxidation" is not mentioned anywhere on the product or the parent website. A little excess marketing for the local crowd I guess. In my opinion, its a small fan, a paper filter, and a cheap unreplaceable (magic) light bulb in a unit about the same size as my external hard drive. How much affect do you really think that will have?



It's called a table top air purifier with no real mention of how much it can really handle. I think calling it a dashboard air purifier might be more appropriate. It works a little bit but it truly fell short of my expectations and I doubt I will even waste the electricity on it much longer. You can get a good purifier with a much higher capacity in this price range.



On a final note, UV-C light kills germs at a slow/moderate pace. As I understand it, the air must be in contact with the light for some period of time before it will become effective at killing the bad stuff. A air filter must move large quantities of air through a filter to be effective at physical removal of contaminants. This unit tries to do both and I feel like it is a miss at least for mechanical filtration.

 "Think Twice" 2009-01-24
By Duane Curtis (USA)
I'm in the market for a good air purifier and this model, Hygia 6 / AC6000, was a candidate. Until I found out about not being able to replace the UV Lamp.



Here is the story. I looked around on Germ Guardian's website. They are the makers (Or distributors) of the Hygia 6. I was unable to find a replacement lamp for this purifier on the website. So I decided to give them a call to find out a price and also see how well their customer service was.



After 2 days of nobody answering the phone I decided to write them an email. I wrote them asking for a price on a replacement lamp and if I would be able to change it (their downloadable instruction manual states the lamp is not user replaceable). A few days later I received a reply telling me the lamp is in fact not replaceable. Here is the direct quote from the email, "The UV-C light is not a replaceable part for the AC6000." This seems very strange to me as UV lamps don't last forever.



I wrote customer service back asking another question. They have not responded.



While I don't own this product I thought this information should be shared so anyone considering this item knows the facts.



Update: Here is another response from customer support: "If the bulb were to stop working, then your warranty (limited 2 year) on the product would take effect. We recommend saving a copy of your sales receipt, and also registering your product. "

 "Hygia 6 not for everyone" 2008-10-28
By Rodney Gibbons (Winchester, VA)
HYGIA 6.0 AC-6000 Complete Air Cleansing System



If you suffer from Sick Office Syndrome or are sensitive to off-gassing from electronic computer and office equipment, this product is not for you.



This unit is made by Germguardian. Due to a design flaw of positioning of the fan after the air leaves the filter assembly instead of before, results in fan motor off-gassing causing a smoke smell. It ends of contributing to the chemical fumes it is designed to filter. I spoke with Germguardian about this and they state that the air leaving the filter is 99% pure and clean, but would not acknowledge or deny that the fan motor could emit any fumes during operation.



As I stated before, unless you are sensitive to the off-gassing, you probably won't notice the smoke smell.



What really upsets me is that the company I purchased it from, The Allergy Buyers Club, would not allow me to return it without an 30% restocking fee, including shipping to and from costs.



I you plan to buy this unit, make sure you understand the return policy.

 "One year later and still working like new" 2008-09-18

I bought this last year 9/07. I waited because prior posts always say how great an air purifier works after a few weeks. My daughter and I have severe allergies pollen, dust, smoke, etc....

1. It's extremely quite on most settings. Even on high it's not very loud.

2. Does not produce Ozone.

3. It works. I have several air purifiers. This one cleans the air just as good or better than all the ones I have(1 Oreck Pro, 2 Hamilton Beach, 1 Plasmawave and 2 Hygia 6). I tested this unit with the others. With regards to room size I have vaulted ceilings so the rooms are large. When the wife sprays chemicals like(Starch when ironing, hairspray, bathroom cleaners) the Hygia picks up the chemical and turns up a level to clean the air. All the other purifiers missed these chemicals unless they are sprayed right in front of the purifier. My hygia is next to the bed in the corner and is at least 20 feet away from the bathroom (remember this is with Vaulted Ceiling).

4. In the kitchen I set the Ionic on and it cleans the air. Much faster and better than my Oreck. I leave the Oreck in the kitchen do to the Truman Cell. Saves on filters, but it takes forever to clean out fryoil smell, smoke from foods, garlic etc....

5. The filters are easy to clean and hold up very well. I replace my Hamiltons every 6-8 months and they are black. My hygia is a year old. The filter is dark but not black. The 6 levels of filteration trap alot of stuff prior to the hepa.

6. NO SMELL AFTER A YEAR. All hepas start to smell bad! I took this to Disney to clean the air in the room, so this hygia has been all over. Yet the filteration is so pure it destroys odors. No mildewy black smut hepa filters unless you try to extend the hepa beyond a year. My other hepas stink with no warning. You go into the basement and realize it's time to replace the hepa on my other systems.

7. It cuts down on spreading germs. My daughter is in Kindergarden and is already been sick twice. Asthma turns to Chest infection = a lot of coughing and hacking. She's been sick twice and yet this system seems to absorb the germs. No one else (other daughter and wife and I) got sick. Before the Hygia the other filters seem to blow the germs around. So far (knock on wood) this seems to absorb germs. I may help that I have 2 Hygias. One in her room and 1 in ours.

8. Nice handle. Light and easy to move.



******* Negatives: ********



1. It does not clean large rooms fast. My kitchen has an island and it takes awhile to clean the air. My master bed room is also large and it kicks up to high to clean the air. The ionic switch seems to speed it up.

I leave the Oreck in kitchen.



2. It doesnt clean harsher smells unless ionic is on. I dont mind the option but some do. The plasmawave was horrible. Felt like skin was irritated when plasmawave was running(No longer own).



Conclussion:



I still use the 2 Hamiltons in the basement only because they are good hepas and clean 300square feet. This Hygia out performs all of them. They need to make a bigger unit. I would like to get one for the whole level rather than get one for each room. I have 2 and will probably order 1 more.

 "Good buy" 2009-10-11
By Windy (PA)
I loooooooooooove the look of this humidifier, that's the major reason I purchased it...The first one came in having a crack on the side, I ended up exchanging for a new one, this one didn't have much mist coming out at first, and I just left it like that for couple weeks, it works fine now... I guess I can't complain much as this is a simple basic devise... So if you are looking for functional humidifiers, maybe you wanna get something else... FYI, the "cow" doesn't have a nightlight, so be aware when you need one~ Great customer service!

 "Bad quality, died after 1 day" 2009-10-06
By Maxima9 (Los Angeles, CA)
Bought the frog, cute and very quiet. Produced lots of mist without white dust (I use filtered water). But it only worked for ONE day. There are 2 lights, green for when it's working, and orange when there's not enough water. After the perfect 1st day, then orange light went on even with a full tank of water and stopped producing any mist. Very disappointed at the inferior quality. Returned the frog and bought a penguin, I hope this one lasts.

By S. Paris (Pennsylvania, USA)
This works perfect for us. The adjustment feature is great. The mist comes out of the elephants trunk and the kids think it's absolutely adorable. It's also super easy to fill and operate.

 "Cute, but be weary,,," 2009-09-23
By T. Granderson
This humidifier is soooo cute. Bright green color looks great in a child's room. Caution: it does not fill easily, there is no plug in the container to keep water from leaking out until you place it back on the base unit. Very powerful steam. Love the cut off feature and fairly quiet operation.

This is a wonderful little humidifier, but died after 18 months of fairly light use.
