Tools and Hardware Reviews of Venta Sonic VS205 Cool and Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier
Customer Review: GOOD FOR 1 YEAR ONLY!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
DON"T BUY THIS THING. IT WORKS BUT IT ONLY WORKS FOR ONE YEAR MAYBE TWO IF YOUR LUCKY. I HAVE BEEN CLEANING IT REGULARLY AND THEN JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STOPS WORKING. INVEST YOUR MONEY IN A LONGER TERM SOLUTION. I SUGG AIR-O-SWISS I HAVE USED A.O.S. SINCE I BOUGHT THE VENTA AND IT IS STILL WORKING FLAWLESSLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING THIS HUMIDIFIER BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET MUCH USE OUT OF ITCustomer Review: Gets noiser very quickly....but okay
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this more than a year ago and it was pretty quiet at first, but now it glub, glub, glubs most of the time. We have tried making sure it is level, has a new (pricey) cartrige replaced on time and cleaning the machine itself. But it just makes odd water noises on and off... and they aren't always the same. I did expect it to leave a fine white dust on things and it does. As to whether it really humidifies well, our humidistat indicates just mediocre at best. We have a 15 X 16 bedroom with door closed. Not nearly as well as my old Vornado cool mist in that department.Customer Review: Good performance - while it lasts
Summary: 2 Stars
Very quiet unit, easy to use. The tank is a bit small for the room (12' x 15'). However, mine has died after just 3 years winter-only use. I am disappointed in the short life span.Customer Review: Great Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
Having tried many different types of humidifiers to help ease the dry winter weather, I like this one the best.
1. Unlike evaporative humidifiers, there is no wick. After a few weeks, the wicks develop a moldy odor and need to be replaced.
2. It's very low maintenance: I've had 4 units now for several months (one in the master bedroom, one in each of the kids rooms, and one in my office) and the most I've had to do is wipe the base with a towel and clean some scale off the oscillator with the included brush.
3. It's easy to operate. Two knobs (humidity setting/spray power) and one button (mist temperature). It doesn't have a built-in humidistat, but that's an advantage as far as I'm concerned, since most reviewers say the ones that do are inaccurate anyway. $20 buys you a good hygrometer that you can place anywhere in the room. (I've got the Honeywell TM-005X)
4. It's very quiet. Really. You can barely hear it.
5. I was reluctant to buy an ultrasonic humidifier because, as others have noted, the mist only goes a short distance and it mainly humidifies the floor in front of it. But this unit has a pretty good kick to it. And here's a tip -- buy a small fan (I use a Vornado Flippi V8) and use it to waft the mist up into the room. The Vornado on it's low setting is also barely audible, looks great, and takes up minimal space. The Venta-Sonic/fan combo will set you back considerably less than the Vornado humidifier with the built-in fan. Vornado V8 Flippi Personal Fan, Medium, Black
6. Yes, you have to turn the unit upside down to fill it up. Big deal. Don't you have to do this with every water tank?
7. Most important -- it humidifies. It easily raises the humidity level 10 to 15% in a very large 15x 20 foot bedroom with a high tray ceiling.

We have had this humidifier for over a year in our daughter's room and find it works well. On high it makes the room really really moist! Love the warm and cool settings. Has really helped whenever she's had colds.
