The Sharper Image EC-P115 Portable Speaker System for iPhone/iPodwith Alarm Clock
From The Sharper Image
With the Sharper Image Ultrasonic dual tank cool and warm mist humidifier you can breathe easier and sleep more comfortably with this virtually silent dual-mist humidifier with Clean Mist Technology. It helps provide year-round relief from the drying effects of air conditioners and heaters, including dry nose, throat, lips, and itchy skin. The Sharper Image Ultrasonic humidifier disperses warm or cool mist, while the UV light kills germs and bacteria in the water safely and effectively. In addition to the UV treatment the unit comes with anti-microbial protection which prevents microbial growth in the water tank for that extra protection. Included is a demineralization cartridge for hard water and elimination of white dust in the water tank. This prolongs the life of the ultrasonic generator and prevents white dust particles from depositing into the air. The easy-fill 1.6 gallon tank runs up to 32 hours per tank filling with a convenient LED “refill indicator” light telling you when it needs to be refilled. Also features Auto Shut-Off protection if the tank goes empty.

User manual is worthless
I'd love to tell you how this product functions, but the user manual is so completely worthless that I can't tell you! The unit comes without any instructions as to how one actually fills the tanks with water, what to do with the demineralization cartridge (which shouts READ THE MANUAL BEFORE USING on its package), where to place the unit for optimal usage, nor whether it automatically shuts off once the desired humidity is reached.
It's possible this could be a good product, but since I don't dare turn it on without knowing why the warning label screams at me to read the demineralization cartridge instructions before using for the first time, I'll never know! Not to mention there doesn't appear to be any opening for water!!
I knew I shouldn't have bought this from a company that scammed the whole world with their useless Ionic Breezes.
Recalled: DON'T BUY
I believe this unit has been recalled.
I tried to buy one at Bed, Bath & Beyond after seeing it advertised in their latest 20% off coupon mailer. I couldn't find it on display, but eventually a stock person got one for me from the back warehouse area. When I tried to check out, the clerk got a confused look on her face, and called for a manager, who explained that the unit was recalled and they were unable to sell it.
Later, I found these still on the Bed, Bath & Beyond website, so I wrote their customer service and was told that there is a "return to vendor" order on the units. I surprised that Amazon is still (apparently) selling them.
Looks 10 - warm mist 1
Really like the looks of this unit, and the cool mist function works fine - unlike the previous reviewer, both of my tanks work fine - first the right, then it empties, and then the left empties. Yes, the lights are bright, but not in the bedroom, so who cares. What does bother me though is the worthless warm mist function. I pressed the heat button and the mist temperature actually went down two degrees. I don't know if this is a defect or not as I've been trying to get a replacement for this unit from Bed Bath and Beyond for over a week, to no avail... If you like cool mist only, with an idiot light that says heat, but doesn't operate, this unit is for you... Otherwise the AOS 7144 is the one I've opted for...
