Do you get much dust and humidity from this unit?

Yes we do get humidity and dust, but we have a piece of muslin draped over the front of it to help contain it in one location. Debbi

Dust no, humidity if you don't have a window close to your dryer it could be a problem.... My dryer sits next to a window, so I have that window open everytime I am using it..... It works like a charm.....

The filter catches all the lint. Yes there is humidity, but we installed ours in the garage so it is not an issue. Also, if you use scented dryer product the smell will come thru.

Yes there is quite a bit of dust and heat that comes out of the unit. The entire upstairs gets heated as a matter of fact. However, its the only choice we have so we live with it. It has been known to set the smoke detector off from the heat.

Yes the door has a tendency to pop open and throw the lint everywhere. Does a great job of heating the house though.

It's not perfect, but it is much better than what I was using. I am pretty much satisfied with it.

I think you meant Lint, fair amount and this filter works very well to catch them. We clean the filter every after use to keep it in peak efficiency. Humidity, yes. We live is the tropics so humidity is an everyday thing can we cannot complain really. The heat when blown indoors can be hot for our feel specially during summer, 32 average and could add 2 degrees when dryer is on. Since we use this product and blow hot air outdoors it is not much Temperature change. Hioe it helps.

the water and the filter do a good job of catching the dust and lint if they are kept clean so things do not over heat. As to the humidity , it has to go somewhere whether it is a vent less dryer you now have or a vented dryer. In our case we are in Hawaii and can open a window or two to let the humidity out of our condo unit.

Dust has cut down since using but yes there is humidity, no way to eliminate that unless you vent outside.

It does pretty well trapping the lint but the humidity was a big issue in the small efficiency apartment we have.

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

I honestly do not know. I use a Frebreeze feather-type cleaning cloth to remove the dust particles located on the front of the unit.

It's not too bad. I run it on fan speed of 3 which is plenty to humidify the house. I do have it in a room that is not normally occupied though. I don't think you'd want to have it sitting next to you in your living room or bedroom. We have a wood stove and this unit is well worth a little humming noise to generate some humidity in the house. We love it!

There is an exhaust port. And the air that comes out is hot. But I don't believe dust or debris can escape, since it has a filter there. I've never noticed any dust or debris coming from there.

Not really although mine runs in the lower level of the house 24/7. I suspect that some folks might be talking about the filtering, there might be a little ozone from time to time omitted. I really love mine, takes all the normally musty smells that happen in basements away and maintains a nicer humidity level than without it running. I've had mine more than a year.

I've got 2 of these and my house is still very dusty, despite bi-weekly professional cleaning. I do know that the germguardian does help, since it's filters get filthly as well and need frequent cleaning themselves. But you shouldn't count on it to keep your house dust-free.

There is a small blue light on top of the unit that is on when it is functioning. We don't even notice it so unless one is really sensitive to any light it shouldn't be a problem. The unit is very quiet and does not produce any fine dust as many units do.

Jeff, I would have to say no, because I never saw any. After reading all the other answers - I still say no, and I use water right out of the tap. The one at the apartment is city water, but one at the house is drilled well water and neither of these humidifiers leave white dust.

Ours started out dust free, but over the years it has changed and is now quite dusty. Maybe less than others, but still disappointing.

It does show a little dust, but not bad. I wipe down my cabinets every week or so and that seems to be enough to not show dust. And I live in the desert! (A lot of dust here.)

I do not have a dust problem. So I will not be able to answer that portion of your question. As for the dogs and people hair.(A house of 4 women with long hair,with 2 dogs. It picks it all up and does a great job.

I've been using this unit in my home for a while now and my experience is that it does a pretty good job removing dust. If I shake a blanket in the room where the unit is, it will kick onto high and then return to normal when the dust has dissipated.

Yes, in my experience. I fixed this by placing a small desk fan behind it to disperse the moisture.

No mine doesnt have dust. That being said I think one of my cats doesnt like it because it's dark. Its kind of an eyesore and you'll want to put the hutch around it.

Yes it does. After almost two months of near continuous use, in what I would consider a relatively dusty house, the Truman cell is barely coated with dust. I can't tell that the odor absorber has any benefit.
