I bought a Bionaire Ultrasonic Humidifier, shown here, several months ago. I needed a humidifier for our boy who gets frequent nose bleeds and higher humidity helps. It's also necessary for hardwood flooring so it doesn't crack in winter.
I chose this unit for it's quiet running so as not to disturb your sleep or T.V. viewing.
On the downside it blows 'white dust' that settles, no sticks to all electronic components like T.V.'s, computers, DVD players etc. It's not easy to dust off, you need to get a wet cloth and rub it off.
The first unit I took home I returned as it was heating up and corroding inside in the first few weeks. The store manager said they don't get hot so I returned it and received a new one.
I took that one home with new filters and still had a carpet of dust on my electronics that I had to wipe off daily.
I wrote an email to Bionaire requesting information as to whether this dust was harmful to my electronic components, since it was all over the outside I could only imagine what the inside looked like. I received no reply after two attempts at getting information.
What is listed on Bionaire's site is that Water Purification Cartridge Helps Eliminate White Dust. I found it reduced it very little. Not enough at any rate, but I still don't know if it's damaging my T.V. or my computers.
Does anyone out there know if this dust is harmful to your electronics? I'd like to know...
