"This humidifier works great to provide moisture to our bedroom."
"Excellent!"
"I purchased THREE ultrasonic cool must humidifiers last week (one for each bedroom in our house) and after using them for several nights, I absolutely LOVE them!! Update--I have now been using these humidifiers for almost one month, every night. My eyes are not dry when I run these every night, but when I travelled to D.C. recently and stayed in a hotel (and didn't have my humidifier) I got a nose bleed in the middle of the night and woke up with bone-dry mouth and eyes."
"The only thing with these types of humidifiers, in my experience, is you have to be careful when using the high setting, because eventually the air will get saturated and there is a high probability of condensation on the floor and any objects in proximity. To combat this, I use a water proof tray (which can be seen under the humidifier in all of the photos), but this requires making sure the directional spout dispenses above the tray. Also, on low mode, a tank of water lasts more than a day, so again, care and maintenance of this humidifier is minimal."
"You can't clean the bottom of the tank and pink slimy mildew builds up."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Although, this was not a ‘life or death’ situation, humidifiers are a necessary appliance and used four seasons a year where we live in the Southwest desert area. The forced hot air that heats our home causes dry itchy skin, and furthermore it gives me headaches and it contributes to my husband occasional nosebleeds. In addition, since we were replacing the humidifier in the bedroom, I needed a silent one and without any lights that would disturb my sleep. Sweep a finger right over the sensor touch ‘power’ button on the front of the unit, and a small blue half circle and bar will light that looks similar to this symbol (‘ and this turns the power on to the lowest setting (indicated by a small yellow LED pinpoint light). This humidifier holds up to 5 liters of water, which is the equivalent of 1 gallon and 1 extra quart in American measurements. Since I need the humidity on a 24-hour basis, I now leave it at low, to maintain, and although it lasts longer than a day, I refill the water tank around the same time every evening. I have not experienced any condensation, therefore the area, the furniture, and all around the location of this humidifier remains completely dry. However, my favorite reason is that it is silent, and there are NO lights to glow or flash that would disturb my sleep at night."
"After accepting my climate altering limitations I bought a vaporizer that quit working the first time I turned it on followed by two humidifiers I was just as disappointed with. This review includes a photo taken while in operation so you can form your own opinion and I can quit typing. (The following is actually the number two entry currently displayed in the Safety Precautions section on page six)... Don't touch the transduction while working otherwise you will have the feel of pain."
"Assembly took seconds and required no tools or even peeks at the owner's manual, except to make sure I had installed the included filter with the proper side up. Speaking of the owner's manual, it's clearly been translated into English from what I'd guess was originally Mandarin, but was still easy to understand. The stainless-colored plastic trim pieces are a nice touch, and give this humidifier a modern, minimalist, upscale vibe. I pressed the POWER button again to set the unit to "HIGH" and the amount of vapor practically doubled. So it ran for about 19 hours on a single tank before automatically shutting itself off and turning on the "droplet with a line through it" light to indicate it was out of water."
ADVANCED Ultrasonic Diffusing technology which produces vibrations at a frequency of 2.4 millions times per second breaks water and essential oils into extremely fine micro-particles without using heat (heat alters and destroys the properties of essential oils). ULTRASONIC diffusing feature ensures the integrity of the essential oils' beneficial molecular structure and allows for ease of healthy bodily absorption.

"If I am able to find contact info for the company and can get a replacement, I will happily update this review to 5 stars. I was very happy to see that not only do they pay attention and read their customers reviews, but also that when they see a problem they address it. After the first one stopped working I bought a different one because I absolutely loved diffusing essential oils. The other one I bought is nicer appearance wise (it is wood and glass and just looks better in my opinion) but it is much louder than this one. My daughter has been keeping this one in her bedroom at night and I LOVE that I can turn on the lights without running the diffuser. If she's sick or having problems sleeping I can diffuse essential oils, but most nights it's used as a nightlight. Before I bought this diffuser, I tried putting essential oils in our humidifier when someone was sick. I definitely don't recommend doing that unless your humidifier specifically states essential oils are safe to use with it."
"I go through it all in my video, as well as demonstrating use (so you will know how to work it without relying on the somewhat simplistic instructions), but to highlight: 1) MASSIVE Water Well - 500ml is upwards 5x the size of the typical ultrasonic diffuser. Also clearly marks the drain side, avoiding getting water into the Air Intake on the opposite side. 10) There is probably some gurgling when the water level gets particularly low (I assume this judging from the strength of the piezo-electric that needs to be had in order to shift the volume of water), but anywhere from 300 to 500ml, zero sound or even low level mist hissing. 11) And a final personal note from me, you do want to regularly clean any ultrasonic diffuser - considering the sizing capacity of this, I'd say every time you fill it, first run warm water into it, drain, then dry clean with a paper towel, removing any oil build-up/residue. If more in depth cleaning is desired, like the piezo-electric itself, warm water and some citric acid, letting it steep for 20 minutes, drain and once again dry clean. :). -- I received this as a complimentary oil diffuser with the aim of hopefully elucidating features and drawbacks that may help you ultimately decide what fits your needs and budget best."

Activated oxygen. SoClean uses the same safe and proven sanitizing and disinfecting process found in water purification, produce handling, hotel housekeeping and hospital sanitizing. EASY TO USE: Sanitizes all CPAP equipment, including water in the reservoir, without removing the mask, hose or reservoir.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I am very pleased with my SoClean 2 CPAP Cleaner/Sanitizer. The SoClean does a great job at sanitizing my CPAP tank, hose and mask/cushion/headgear, but it does NOT clean off the perspiration and skin oils that accumulate on the cushion/mask/headgear. To see what I've learned about using the SoClean2 with my CPAP equipment please read on... WHAT IS THIS SOCLEAN 2 THING? If don't know what the SoClean 2 does, here it is: It's an ozone generator and circulator. The SoClean keeps the Ozone in a closed loop and when the treatment is over uses a filter to convert ozone back to regular oxygen over a couple of hours. The SoClean 2 works by feeding ozone through an adapter that goes between your CPAP machine and hose. If you have a humidifier tank there is a hose that snakes into the tank to bubble ozone through the water (keeping it bacteria free) and then it passes through the hose and back out the mask which is inside the SoClean where the hose enters via a rubber sealed opening. A NOTE ON OZONE: According to the SoClean web site "The ozone concentration is up to 25PPM (parts per million)" when cleaning That's inside the SoClean and is circulated through the CPAP equipment. When the cleaning cycle is finished the SoClean takes 2 hours to for the filter to reduce and neutralize the Ozone to safe levels. The SoClean does NOT really "CLEAN" your equipment. The included instruction booklet (downloadable from the SoClean web site) is quite good and covers how to setup the SoClean with your CPAP machine. A nice feature if the SoClean 2 is automatic cleaning. The SoClean clock lost track of time and before I noticed I thought my SoClean was broken! The automatic cleaning schedule wasn't lost with the power, but with the clock set about 8 hours early so my mask wasn't getting cleaned when I expected. LESSON: Remember to reset the SoClean clock after a power failure to assure to your automatic cleaning cycle happens as expected. One less thing to keep on my shelf... :-). While not directly a SoClean consumable it's worth noting my mask and hoses seem to last a lot longer saving me noticeable money ( I pay full price until my insurance deductible is met). I'm very pleased with the SoClean 2 and it has noticeably and significantly improved my CPAP experience since I got it."
"Second, I HATE cleaning the mask and hoses from the CPAP, it's impossible to get to all the little grooves and ridges in them and no matter how hard you try... after several weeks they start getting that "musty" smell. wake up, pull the mask off your face, dump it into the top of the unit and close the lid (there's a notch in the side for the hose to stay connected to the CPAP itself). I had one REALLY minor issue with the adapter and contacted support via e-mail and they were back to me within a few hours and had a solution immediately. I will add a couple of things though: The SoClean does leave an odor in the hose/mask, but it's one of Ozone, not mildew, a definite improvement and one that is immediately removed by just turning on the CPAP for a few seconds before I put it on my face and let the air blow through it."
"Please send me correct adapter and I will return the one I have."
"My mask turned a brown ting after a week of use, i swapped masks and again it turns the mask brown."
"So we contacted manufacturer and they said that since we ordered through Amazon, they will not help. Finally just started using different options on their prerecorded phone system just to get any person. Let alone what it might have done tou your person if that chemical smell ccontained anything."
"I noticed mold growing in my reservoir and called customer service at Soclean."

"I read all these reviews before I bought mine. Cover is soft and inside workings aren't hard."
"As a long time sufferer of chronic lower back pain (sciatica), I have been around the block a few times searching for the right treatment to manage my pain. At least with the chiropractor, one staple of therapy is the use of TENS and a heated compress on my lower back to help alleviate the muscle tension. I've long wished to have this therapy available without an appointment and the associated costs. Pros: -- Heats up quickly and evenly - I've had heading pads in the past which seem to heat up first along the coils and then radiated out over time. I also like that it doesn't heat up whatever I've lying or sitting against, so it's safe for heat-sensitive surfaces. I find it a little short and inconvenient when I'm using it on my back and I'm lying down."
"I was excited to hear about this heating pad. You can spray the microplus side with a mist of water or dampen it with a sponge so. as it the pad heats it's giving you a moist heat. I've had many heating pads in the past where. Medium isn't hot enough, while High is too hot. It's also not made of that vinyl material that most other heating pads. are made of, that always end up getting all twisted and become useless after awhile."

I read all the clinicals I could get my hands on (conveniently located in one place on pH-D’s website, http://ph-defense.com) and called my OBGYN for advice. There was no way I was sticking something foreign and untested in my special lady part before I knew for sure it would not hurt my downtown fun land. The research is founded and true and I discovered there are many in the esteemed medical community that recommend boric acid as an alternative to harsh antibiotics. She would automatically write a prescription for one of the strongest antibiotics out there, Metronidazole (Flagyl), and would even give me unlimited refills. Boric acid is the ONLY alternative that works to strong antibiotics for recurring yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. It is recommended by the medical community, but because there has not been a well-marketed or easy solution for administering or buying boric acid capsules, most doctors don’t even mention this great natural remedy. I read personal accounts of women buying their own boric acid powder and putting together capsules at home."

There are risk when pumping water in your ear so make sure you are careful when doing that and softening the wax up helps as well."
"This product is well built and has good research behind it, but we just could not get the thing to work."

"These pads are perfect for larger people who worry about coverage."
"Tena has some kind of soft plastic for their wrappers and they are easy to open and reuse to dispose of the pads."
"They do the job nicely and that is all anybody wants!"
"Product is a life saver for me."
"Heavy enough but not as bulky as others.... like the sides, keeps overflow at a minimum."
"Also, I have used bladder protection pads in gradually increasing absorbencies for over 10 years and tried other brands. leaks were few and far between - may be a monthly occurrence, usually because the pad got twisted while shifting a sitting position and/or due to poor adhesive backing or you did not get to the bathroom fast enough. Once I started using this "new design with the same level of protection" I have experienced leaks that wetted both underwear and slacks/shorts three (3) to four (4) times per week. Oddly enough, a Sunday newspaper coupon supplement had an ad for a new Kimberly-Clark product: Depend seat protector pads to protect your chair from leaks."
"I just wasn't impressed."

"It's a small price to pay for an extra boost of nutrition in such a critical time for being pregnant."
"I don't love taking pills 3 times a day because I am forgetful but absorption would obviously be better, sometimes when I miss one I double up at dinner."
"Amazon sells these with options of 30 capsules, 90 capsules, and 180 capsules (listed under the same product name). The different size capsules are in reality different products, but they are listed as the same product that only differs in the number of capsules per container; which is not only very misleading, it also means that the product reviews or answers to questions written for those various products are listed all together on Amazon, and it's impossible to tell whether people were describing their experience with the 30 capsule, 90 capsule or 180 capsule bottle. For example, how do you know if the person writing a review was using the 90 capsule bottle with the fillers and without vitex or protein or the 180 capsule bottle that has vitex, protein and no fillers or the 30 capsule bottle that doesn't have vitex, but has brewer's yeast that the others don't have (they have regular yeast), and which can be a problem to people with gluten allergies. I came back to the Amazon page just to discover that the bottle I bought (90 capsules), had fillers and binders, and was missing protein, probiotics and vitex (although I'm not crazy about vitex) that the 180 capsule bottle has. They way I see it, those are two completely different products, and the product in the 90 capsule bottle is significantly inferior to the product in the 180 capsule bottle. Well, the 90 and 180 capsule product doesn't, but the 30 capsule bottle contains brewers yeast which is a gluten containing substance."

"I got this as a gift from my amazing girlfriend who knows I complain about my neck all the time. It shuts off after 20 minutes but you can turn it right back on and it's still warm, if you don't want heat you can turn off the heat and still have the rollers. I'd definitely recommend this if you have any neck pain or just want a relaxing message after work on the ride home."
"I get a lot of tension in my shoulders and back especially after a long day on my feet and I work out at least 3 times a week so I am no stranger to sore muscles."
"I know that some people have had issues with the connection on the cable coming apart, but I haven't experienced that at all. This is a great product and we were so satisfied with it we bought one for my boyfriend's sister for Christmas."
"I had tried other massagers to deal with lower back pain due to degenerative discs and this one outshines all of the others."
"This is a great massager for the money and I truly appreciate the Professional manner the seller handled my issue."
"Update: The company did make due on their promise to replace the unit immediately for free. The massager itself works well, just don't put too much pressure on it which will lead to the stitching eventually breaking down."
"Great product!!"
