Author's Review
We have been using the Venta VS207 Sonic Cool/Warm Mist Ultrasonic Room Humidifier now for about two weeks. So far we are extremely impressed with the performance of this unit. We have installed it in our 16'x14' master bedroom, which gets quite dry during the winter months. This humidifier was very easy to setup and was producing plenty of humidifying mist in just minutes. It raised the humidity level of our room by 10% within just a few hours. However, it also produces quite a bit of white dust on the front of our 32" LCD television, and was clearly visible on most other dark surfaces in our room as well. Using the "warm mist" feature helped a little but we ultimately had to start using distilled water (as recommended by other reviewers) in the Venta VS207 to eliminate the white dust. There is now virtually no dust seen in our room since we started using the distilled water (been using for about 1 week now).
As others have noted, the humidistat built into this unit is nearly useless. It was reading 50% humidity while the wall mounted Oregon Scientific temp/humidity station in our room showed just 38%. We have learned to set the humidistat of the Venta VS207 about 15 to 20% higher in order to achieve the desired humidity in our bedroom.
We are extremely happy with our Venta VS207 Ultrasonic Room Humidifier. Now that we are using distilled water we have no more white dust in our room, and we have found a work-around for the poor quality humidistat built into this unit. Our only other complaint is that the handle on the tank prevents us from sitting it on the counter, after filling, in order to screw on the cover. As the tank must be inverted in order to fill it, and since the handle is curved and does not allow the tank to sit flat while inverted, one must cradle the tank in your arm while screwing on the threaded cover with your other hand. I am afraid the weight of the full tank will crack the handle if we tried to balance it on the counter while replacing the cover. Still, this is a minor issue when compared to the overall great build quality of this humidifier. It does its job well and is nearly silent during operation. I find it easy to recommend this model to anyone looking for a quality single room humidifier.
