I received the Air-O-Swiss U7142 1.98 Gallon Humidifier as a gift, after a doctor recommended that I start using a humidifier. I live in a dry environment and have sinus problems.
On first glance, the unit looks like Mercedes of humidifiers; it looks high-tech, sleek, and shiny. It worked well in the beginning, but suddenly stopped working all together. The customer service number provided was laughable. I had to give them a lot of personal information and receipt/ purchase information...and they still could not replace the unit. Luckily, the store at which it bought did take it back, and I was given a replacement humidifier.
When it works, it works well. It is extremely quiet and has a nice stream of moisture. You can choose the level of humidity desired (and displays current humidity level), and it has a useful timer option. It is, however, extremely temperamental, and often needs a new filter, new silver ion stick, and need to be cleaned (with Air-O-Swiss specific cleaner, of course) quite, quite often. It is, simply put, a pain.
Almost any cheaper, simpler humidifier will work as well, with a lot less frustration. This is a high-cost machine, and other humidifers cost as much as this units filter replacement and maintenance alone.
