Warranty: Manufacturer's Warranty
List Price: $99.99 The Bionaire Cool Mist humidifier will eliminate harsh, dry air and keep it at a comfortable level of moisture. Perfect for medium size rooms, this humidifier features a Permanent Wick Filter to trap any impurities from the air. The filter is able to be washed and reused for convenience. A Digital Humidistat lets the user set a certain humidity level for the unit to reach. Microban Antimicrobial Protection is added to the filter to inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria and mold growth. A full tank will emit moisture for up to 36 hours, and the FilterClean Monitor will inform users when the filter should be cleaned. The unit features a digital humidistat and four comfort settings. After making a selection, the humidifier automatically adjusts to quickly reach and maintain the requested level of humidity. A full tank will emit moisture for up to 36 hours, and the FilterClean monitor indicates when the PERMAtech filter has reached its capacity. The permanent filter washes clean easily and can be reused so it never has to be replaced. In addition, the filter traps impurities from the air thanks to its Microban antimicrobial protection, which inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold. Other highlights include digital comfort control, a dishwasher-safe base, and a sleek attractive design that blends in with any home decor.

 Great Humidifer December 16, 2008
I have one and it is working great. I do however take the filter out and soak it once a week with warm soapy water and a little bleach. No more dry itchy skin! its perfect.
 Not a permanent filter December 1, 2008

I took away a star due to the fact that it advertises "permanent filter" and it is not a permanent filter at all. Like others say, mineral deposits will build up over time and you have to either soak the filter in soapy warm water to clean or throw it out and purchase replacement filters. Since Bionaire doesn't make the replacement filters, here is a tip: I purchased replacement filters of another brand and they worked just fine! As far as the operation of this unit, I give it 4 stars. It really does produce humidity (unlike a lot of other brands which produce absolutely nothing) and the digital level display is also a nice bonus. Using the automatic shut off is annoying because it will (just like another reviewer stated) turn off and on several times in a row. I am fine with just using the manual on/off option.
Nice humidifier with some small quirks May 18, 2008

I've used this humidifier for one winter so far. It did pretty well as humidifiers go. I recommend it with the following caveates:
1. I would not say the filters are permenant. I'd be leary of any humidifier with "permenant filters". The reality is, they build up mineral deposits. I guess I could have tried to wash them out, but I chose to replace them. The replacements range from 11.00 on Ebay to about 16.00 on Amazon (as of 5/2008). You can find replacements but NOT from the manufacturer.
2. When using the automatic feature (which turns the unit off when the proper humidity is reached), the unit tends to cycle on and off multiple times at the set value. I don't know if the sensor is too sensitive, but it is a bit annoying to hear it turn on and off about 5 or more times until it decides to stay off. Also, I would not call the unit a quiet unit at high speed. Since I like white noise, I didn't mind it as much, but others may have a different opinion.
Great product BUT.... January 1, 2008

This product is great but you can not get a replacement filter for it. If you do not clean it properly after each use, you will get build up on it and have to throw it out, but I can not find a replacement anywhere...not even with the manufacturer.
 Worthless because the filter is NOT permanant. January 20, 2008

It would be a great product if the "permanent filters" were perm. but they aren't. They get dirty and collect impurities from the water. If you have hard water the filters won't last very long.
It maybe possible to use filters made for a similar humidifier in this one. But I do not know yet.
UPDATE:
I am using filters for another Bionaire humidifier in this. It works great. I'm changing my rating to 4 stars, because with replaceable paper filters, this thing ROCKS!
