I knew Air-O-Swiss makes decent (european standard) home climate products. As soon I found out Boneco took over AOS, the choice was made to give it a try.
It’s been working really well over the last two weeks. The humidity level increased to the optimal level.
The Boneco U200 is very quiet. The only thing we hear 20 ft away is a little bit of gentle water sloshing which is actually soothing to the ear.
The unit is well designed and finished. All smooth edges and everything fits perfectly.
In the US only the manual version is available. The dial seems to be working in a linear fashion. In our set up it’s opened to a third.
It’s got good warranty and i do recommend this product, for in this price range there’s plenty of alternatives with humidistats that generally seem to perform poorly. My conclusion was to go with something basic and well made and a separate hygrometer.
This is my second one with the first being over five years old. The first still works just fine. The new one is a supplement humidifier and both are used to replace a big console model. Use water from the hot vale to extend the use cycle between cleanings, or use distilled water.
