- Making You Healthier and Happier Through Allergy Relief
The Boneco S450 Steam Humidifier offers true hand-warm mist humidification. It creates safe, hand-warm, bacteria-free steam and helps provide a healthier indoor environment for the whole family.
The Boneco warm mist humidifier produces a Safe Hand-Warm Steam, setting it apart from other boiler-style humidifiers. Although enjoyed by many, boiler-style humidifiers have always had one problem - they boil water. This usually means that if you have pets or children, there's a potential for an accident. Not anymore! Thankfully, BONECO took this problem head on and created the BONECO Air-O-Swiss S450 steam humidifier, which is not only a true hand-warm mist steam humidifier but also safe. This is because the steam is cooled by a fan to hand-warm temperatures before it's dispersed back into the air.
Enjoy a more Hygienic Mist That’s Ideal For Allergy Sufferers. A boiler humidification system is often thought of as one of the most hygienic ways of air humidification. This is because heating the water to a temperature of at least 212°F ensures a bacteria-free and mineral-free process. In Addition, the high temperatures the steam reaches inside the machines help to neutralize allergens like dust, pollen, and more, making it perfect for allergy sufferers. Steam humidification is also something that can soothe away flu symptoms as well as the itching, sore throat, and dried sinuses that are often associated with eczema and dry air, respectively.
The Boneco S450 portable room humidifier features Whole Room Coverage in spaces up to 860 square feet in size. This simply means that the S450 can be placed on the floor while still being able to evenly humidify the entire space. Unfortunately, most humidifiers only work their best when placed on a table or countertop. However, this isn’t the case with the Boneco. This is because the mist from other humidifiers is released from a higher center of gravity, giving it a better chance to achieve whole-room coverage. On the other hand, the S450 is equipped with a lower center of gravity, giving it the ability to reach the entire room, whether it's on the floor or a piece of furniture.
Experience efficient and Customized Operation that meets your specific needs. This high-performance Boneco humidifier boasts plenty of smart features and functions. For starters, there is an AUTO Mode that uses Boneco's Auto Misting Technology. This ensures the unit adjusts to current humidity levels for automatic, hassle-free operation. Next, you can use ECON Mode for a more energy-efficient humidifier. In ECON Mode, the humidity level is set to 45% RH and also reduces mist output to low-med and will cycle on/off as needed to maintain set humidity. Finally, MANUAL Mode offers complete control over humidity levels and speeds, letting you customize your humidifier to meet your needs.
How It Works - In particular, this powerful steam humidifier begins to operate by heating the water to the boiling point. The vaporized water from the unit then humidifies the room air, but the new ClearMist design of this system means the warm mist coming out is truly hand-warm and not burning hot. Its 1.8-gallon water tank produces 3.6 gallons of soothing and safe hand-warm mist per day. A removable water tank with a built-in handle makes it easy to refill and replace the tank. It also features an easy-to-use digital display and controller with a programmable hygrostat for complete personalization.
Hassle-Free Cleaning & Maintenance is virtually guaranteed with this warm mist room humidifier. It features an easy-to-use cleaning function with an automatic Cleaning Mode for hands-free decalcification. Moreover, the addition of the A451 Anti-Mineral Pads decreases the calcification in the vaporizer basin and reduces the frequency of decalcification, making it easier to clean. These anti-mineral pads work by absorbing a large part of the resulting lime scale that can accumulate when boiling hard water. The unit will even let you know when it's time to use its cleaning function, thanks to the handy indicator light. Easy to maintain and great for use with any type of water, the BONECO Air-O-Swiss S450 warm mist steam humidifier is a perfect fit for any home!
Boneco S450 Steam Humidifier
Soothing, compact and effective, the Boneco S450 steam humidifier is a versatile home appliance ideally suited to combat the symptoms of dry winter air, eczema, and asthma. The winter months are often a very aggravating for people with asthma, eczema and any one dealing with a cold or flu. Maintaining proper humidity levels during these cooler, drier months, can not only help alleviate these symptoms but also have a secondary benefit for your home. With an array of humidifier choices out there, we tested the new S450, and here's how this boiler-style unit fared.
What I like about the Boneco S450 Humidifier
The fact that this model is a true warm mist humidifier is its biggest asset. Most ultrasonic humidifiers pre-warm the water which means by the time the mist leaves the unit, it is lukewarm at best. This steam is actually warm, and better still, the new ClearMist technology means you see the steam but won't get burned. Older models would release steam that if you kept your hand over the top, would burn in a matter of seconds. The S450 has hit the mark with steam that is truly warm and not lukewarm or scalding hot.
This feature also gives this model a big step up in terms of hygiene. There's no need for silver ion technology or anything else when boiling water effectively kills germs microbes and other organisms that can commonly be found in standing water.
With no ultrasonic diaphragm, most types of water will work well in this steam humidifier. Soft, hard or distilled water will all work, so using water straight from the tap shouldn't be an issue. Mineral pads absorb things like lime, calcium and other minerals commonly found in hard water. While these pads do NOT eliminate the need to remove occasional mineral scale or build up, they do greatly reduce the number of times you will need to do this. Intervals will vary and the Decalcification Mode actually makes cleaning it fairly easy. Just add EZCal and you're nearly done!
Aside from the hygienic features, this unit is an ideal humidifier for most applications in that the compact size and modern design of this unit fits most home uses. The small footprint makes it easy to use in nearly any room, regardless of space considerations, and the moisture output rivals that of many of the top of the line Boneco models.
Lastly, the Boneco S450 humidifier is equipped with a hygrostat and digital LCD screen. This measures the relative humidity and switches the appliance off automatically when the desired value is reached. The internal ventilation remains turned on, to ensure an accurate reading of the relative humidity. The other digital features remind you when to refill the machine and allow you to dim the display, set the mist output, and schedule the S450 to run on a timer.
What I do not like about the Boneco S450 Humidifier
The only possible negative for this machine is that the operation is not silent. There is a little white noise when the unit is operating. For a light sleeper, this might be a problem. Other than this, when running full steam, the power consumption is higher than other humidifiers. It is in line with other steam humidifiers but higher than ultrasonic or evaporative models.
In all, the Boneco S450 room humidifier is a powerful unit with uncompromising results. From moisture output and hygienic features to the modern finish and compact design, the S450 is the best warm mist humidifier available. And, unlike pretenders, the S450 is a TRUE steam humidifier that will help you breathe better and keep your indoor environment more comfortable while relieving symptoms common during the colder fall and winter months.
