second time around 7133

I am a believer in consumer reviews however I faid to check epinions site before purchasing the Air O Swiss humidifier.The unit purchased was recommended and bought through Allergy Club and the second unit lasted approximatly five days. This time around I called the manufacturer and they suggest I return again and try an additional unit. It is fairly a no brainer ,fill the canister set it on top of the base and enjoy a nice warm mist of moist air for about three weeks if your lucky. I can't help but think the previous reviews I read were by someone whoreing themselves out for the almighty dollar.I would be pleased with the purchase regardless of the expense because while I can ill afford the most expensive brand Air O Swiss offers , The $117 plus cartridges for a total of $154. should give me a satifactory humidifier that should last for several years .This is the first review I have submitted for a product and while I am hesitant to write ill of a product as I know it may have effect on the sale of said product I can,t believe I am the recipient of the only two defective units as per the sales staff and manufacture reps.
