We bought it online, but believe they sell it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I does not have the standard filter so no mold. I do notice that there is a white film on my furniture that is nearby (sorta like heavy dust). It comes right up during my normal weekly cleaning. <br /><br />We plug in the unit center of the house since the downstairs is all open and the humidity is perfect. Somehow it even makes the air upstairs fine. No need for second one in bedroom. I think, don't quote me, we spend around 100 or so bucks on it. Not cheap, but it's lasted a good 4-5 years so far.Pine Tree Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03875921008304996532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-46112856334853209622010-03-03T20:27:11.305-08:002010-03-03T20:27:11.305-08:00We have the Vicks one you posted, and we buy the V...We have the Vicks one you posted, and we buy the Vicks brand Vapo-Steam additive to put in the water.

Bonus is the room smells lovely afterward! #2: (grossness warning!) My grandma swears by vicks vaporub UP the nose. Use a q-tip! I have to admit I have done it a couple of times and it got me breathing pretty quickly. #3: I like to sit in a super steamy shower - so hot that I can't touch the water or it'll burn!! That gets things moving too (if you catch my drift lol)!

We had the heat discussed in the first comment. Water ran through the baseboard heat and clanked and heated our house using water. It was the coolest thing ever (steam). I never had nasal issues other than allergies in the spring/summer. I miss that.<br /><br />I have been searching for the perfect humidifier but as far as I got was "OHHH THAT FROG ONE IS SO CUTE!" (yeah I was drawn to the frog and elephant machines in the kids section). I will check back I would really love to have a good option for next winter!Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-42319900319690796232010-03-03T09:53:18.067-08:002010-03-03T09:53:18.067-08:00We found ours at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $50...We found ours at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $50 and used a coupon...score!

I did luck out & found someone who does HVAC for a living, but he installed it "on the side" so I didn't pay full HVAC company prices. My opinion - WORTH EVERY PENNY!Kate Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656507183082068083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-21069235704047509632010-03-03T09:46:09.728-08:002010-03-03T09:46:09.728-08:00Have you thought of installing a humidifier on you...Have you thought of installing a humidifier on your furnace? We had a Honeywell Whole House Power Humidifier installed last winter to our furnance. It has worked wonders for my sinuses. It cost about $180, and maybe an extra $100ish to have it installed. You can set it for just the right level of humidity. Sometimes it pumps so much out there that I have to turn the percentage down a bit because we have too much water on our windows. I highly recommend it. Good luck!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667038945288793459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-91257126697508961202010-03-03T08:59:41.906-08:002010-03-03T08:59:41.906-08:00I'm no help either, since I'm in Florida. ...I'm no help either, since I'm in Florida.
