Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kaz 4100 Health Mist Quiet Operation Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: LOUD
Summary: 1 Stars
"Quiet Operation" is a blatant lie unless the manufacturers mean quiet compared to say, a fleet of jets taking off right over your head. The noise was intolerable before I even attempted sleeping, this humidifier is getting returned first thing in the morning.Customer Review: Love the simplicity of using this humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
By error, I received Kaz 4100 instead of Kaz4100K. The earlier model that I received lacked on and off switch, adjustable grill and two speeds. Nevertheless, I love the simplicity of this humidifier: filling machine from top without having to remove a tank, very very quiet and complete instructions such as "break in characteristics, maximum output will not be reached until unit has been used several times." Thnk you, Kaz!Customer Review: No on/off switch
Summary: 3 Stars
It stated in the description that it has one but it does not. Make sure you want to plug/unplug it every time you want it on or off. Otherwise, it is decent for the price.Customer Review: Not a bad humidifier, but could use some improvements.
Summary: 4 Stars
Not a bad unit to have, it does what it's supposed to, does a good job of humidifying my room , the noise doesn't bother me much, I like white noise, it helps me relax and I actually fall asleep faster because of it and I wake up feeling refreshed instead of feeling more tired than when I went to sleep. I see some people complaining about the output of the unit, I guess they didn't bother reading the instructions where it says the unit will have to be run a few times before it operates a full capacity. Also people complained about the lack of being able to see the mist, if your room is over 30% humid you're not going to see a mist, that's normal also and doesn't indicate that unit isn't doing it's job. Filters for it are also easy to find, you can order more here at Amazon.com or directly from http://www.kaz.com.
Now for the cons:
The uh... directional grill shipped detached from the unit and as far as I can tell there is no way to get the dang thing to stay on unless I super-glue it to the hole, it doesn't line up perfectly either, the little notch doesn't match the hole it goes in, must be a manufacturer defect as far as I can tell.
Also the place where the cord connects to the top part, there's a nice hole there for the cord to go through...well it also lets air go through too, I can feel air coming out of it, you might wanna plug that up with some modeling clay or some other non-toxic oil-free clay, I recommend Sculpy II.
Other notes:
The 4100K doesn't exist on the Kaz site, nor does the 4200 or 4220(the two with the on off switches and speed control respectivly) I believe they are discontinued. The 4100 however still does and Kaz continues to sell them.
Customer Review: Only worked 3 times!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned other humidifiers, and while I was satisfied with the nice fine mist of this humidifier, it quit working after only three uses! We emptied the water after each use, and followed the instructions, but it just gave up. The other drawback was that this machine was quite loud and most family members' sleep was disturbed by the noise. I could not recommend this machine.
