 Product Work But..... March 30, 2010
Prashant Deshpande
The product works but there were the following experience spoiled it for me. My review is more a reflection on the seller than on the product
1. The order took a long time to ship
2. The box was packaged shabbily and there was a cleaning item which was promised on the box which was missing. Though the product worked as advertised
3. The Product looked used. It was wet from inside. I was led to believe that this was a brand new product.
I would caution anyone to beware of buying anything from this seller.
 Humidistadt not reliable; Works well with distilled water February 15, 2010
Dennis
I left a similar review for the AOS7135.
I became wary of inhaling this white dust so I switched to distilled water but it was too much of a hassle to buy 10-14 jugs each week for each humidifier.
I think this will work well for you if your water has low mineral content or if you don't mind buying a lot of distilled water regularly.
The humidistat is rather useless. Mine typically remains at 25% even though 3 other external monitors report 38-42%. So the AOS7135 never shuts off and over-humidifies my room. You might be better off with the less expensive AOS7135 (if you are ok with the looks) or the AOS7145 (if you don't need the heating option).
I returned the unit and purchased the Vornado Evaporative humidifier instead. I use it with the Protec cartridge and make sure to clean it well every week to reduce bacteria build up in the wicks. So far so good.
 OWNED FOR 4yrs January 4, 2010
Jay Ski (MA)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have used many types & brands which have all failed at some point. The worst was $150 Holmes warm-mist, which failed & melted in a plastic smokey mess while I slept one night (thank god for smoke detectors). My friend recomended this Air-O-Swiss unit. It was more expensive, however totally worth it! I have owned this unit for 4yrs so far & very pleased. It's easy to maintain, consistant & reliable. Uses very little electricity in both "cool" & "warm" mist modes. It can evaporate up to 7 gal/day in "high/warm" mode, 3-1/2 gal/day in "med/cool" mode. FYI, keep it clean & it will last!
 noisy, humidity gauge is not effective December 4, 2009
Tracy (Glen Burnie, MD United States)
We've gone through three different versions of this humidifier at this point via returns.
It's quiet when you first get it, but the fan progressively gets louder and louder. I'm not a light sleeper, but it was even bothering me before the latest return. My husband is a light sleeper and is having a lot of trouble with it.
The humidity gauge doesn't seem to work and appears to operate randomly.
The best I can say for it is that it does emit lots of mist. I'm going to try a different humidifier next time, and really can't recommend this one. Too bad.
This product is TERRIBLE ! November 3, 2009

Two seasons ago I bought 3 (THREE) of these units for our apartment. One for our living room/kitchen area and one for each of our two bedrooms. I maintained them diligently - which is a LOT of work. Within two humdifying seasons all three units were broken - they no longer produced mist of any kind. I tried to contact Air-O-Swiss on many occassions to rectify this problem and their customer service was abysmal. They made a few suggestions, none of which worked. In the end I was told an Air-O-Swiss representative would contact me in an effort to rectify these problems and the whole situation. Six months later I am still waiting for that call. These units were expensive, high maintenance ( and also very expensive for cleaners, filters and ionic sticks) and in the end were just a huge disappointment. Save your money and go for another cheaper brand and save yourself the aggravation. I will never buy another Air-O-Swiss unit, neither should you ! Also, my neighbor just informed me her exact same model is now leaking after just one season. Avoid this expensive and poorly designed product.
