Stadler Form Oskar humidifier, energy-saving room humidifier for rooms up to 50 m²/125 m³, evaporator with automatic shut-off, dimmable LEDs, very quiet, white

After 2 months of use I have to say I'm really happy I bought this unit. I've just changed the filters (which are not cheap, granted) after I started to detect a musty smell. I would think (for my install at least) that 2 months would be the latest I would leave changing the filters. That's the downside but the upside is that this unit is just great. It really is a set and forget unit, according to my three hygrometers it does the job admirably, it's quiet, stylish and a doddle to clean/service. Highly recommended!***I really like this unit. Admittedly, I have not had it for long, but it looks great, is very simple to set up, easy to fill and does the job quietly and well. It is not silent but I don't find its operation overly intrusive. I use it to regulate the humidity of an area where I keep several expensive acoustic guitars which have to be kept at a set humidity range. It replaced two smaller, cheaper fog humidifiers that regulated the humidity but expelled a fine powdery white dust everywhere which was annoying, constant and pervasive. This was the main reason for changing to this unit and this Oskar does not put out any dust at all which is great. The replacement filters are not cheap but as long as I don't have to change them more than once every month or so are an investment I am willing to make in return for its cleanliness.

We have 5 of these. 1 in each bedroom and another in the lounge. We originally bought on the advice of our doctor when our baby was admitted to intensive care for Bronchiolitis and alleviate her eczema. It allows air to pass through lung membrane more easily and is the best thing you can do for cold and flu symptoms. I also found it stops me waking up with dry mouth, bunged up nose and I no longer scratch myself to pieces when the heating comes on.It's very smart looking, almost Apple like. It's EXTREMELY quiet (26dB), especially on the low setting. This size is suitable for any room within a normal 3/4 bed home.The downsides.... The filters are relatively expensive (£30 for 4, and it uses 2 at a time) - they will also clog quicker with hard water (we have a water softener, which again helps with Eczema, so not a problem for us). The silver ion cube inside should be replaced annually to keep water bacterial free (technically you can get away without replacing this if you clean often), but this is VERY expensive at £20 for a tiny cube (on top of the expensive outlay for the machine and filters).We had several ultrasonic humidifiers of a before this and they were RUBBISH!!! Left pools of water on the side or carpet and a dust film around the room - terrible device! The Stadler Form Oskar works by evaporation which eliminates both these issues and self regulates humidity (air can only absorb a certain amount of moisture as opposed to the ultrasonic's approach of continuously pumping vapour into the air.Got the cash, but it! Like I said, it's the Apple of humidifiers!

I'm quite happy with my humidifier. It is stylish and almost silent. The only real drawback is that the filters, which according to the manufacturer should last at lest two months, start smelling bad after only one month. This makes it much more expensive to run the Oskar than I had anticipated. It's easy to clean and maintain, so in all a good humidifier, but I'm really not sure under what conditions those filters were tested!

Tried a few other cheaper humidifiers but this one was the best. Simple controls, two power modes - one of which is whisper quiet. Different settings for humidity level, powers itself off once the level is reached. Runs for about a week on low settings, or a few days on higher. Easy to refill and runs with tap water. Filters aren't so cheap but they last several months, and there is no dust or bacteria with this design.Clever features, fairly unobtrusive and is designed by a real Swiss company (Stadlerform). Not the cheapest, but it feels like it will work fine for years unlike some of the cheaper variants from other manufacturers.

Purchased 2 of these. I thought they were good quality but I was wrong. The first one stopped after a week of mild use. I put it down to a change defective unit but then the second one stopped working after a single night of use! Would absolutely avoid these and anything made by Stadler in the future.

OK

I am delighted with this product.....it looks good, is easy to operate and works excellent exceptionally well....we use it in the main living room to ensure the humidity does not fall below 50%....I’ve not purchased a Stadler product before but would do so again...

I've been looking for a long time to find an air purifier and humidifier that has a nice design works, and is silent... This is it, look no further!First the design. Modern and sleek, it fits well in its environment.Second the noise - or rather lack of it. There are 2 speeds, and the 'normal' speed is silent. the 'fast' speed makes some noise (ie you can hear it), but not an issue for me as I only use it when preparing my bedroom.Third the air quality. Finally I can sleep in a bedroom with clean fresh air, a bit like when you go on holiday in the mountains and you have fresh pure air. As a result I do not wake up during the night from a dry throat and all smells are neutralOverall: great investment
