Stadler Form Hydra Humidifier

I bought two of these. Product worked fine for the first winter. I washed them, stored them carefully and resumed usage the following winter with new cubes and filters. I saw that one had already stopped working (no steam, green light turned off after about a minute). I was able to use the second for about a month and then this one also stopped working. I can only deduce that this is a defective design and I see that the company has already discontinued supporting the product on its help line. As a result of this experience I would avoid ordering from this brand in the future.

This product and company sucks!! Don't waste your money!! Buy some other brand that isnt made by Swizz Style. Product stopped working after 93 Days,company won't answer my calls or return messages left!!

My Stadler Form Hydra worked fine for over a year. I actually just used it in the winter and stored it during the summer months when the windows were open and the humidity was fine. After using it for a while this winter, I changed the filter and ionic cube for the first time and cleaned the exposed parts thoroughly. It has never worked since. The green light will come on and stay on for a while but no mist is ever generated.I was easily able to reach the service folks at 877-663-7893 and was told that maybe the humidity was already high enough so the Hydra didn't stay on. It had been raining outside so I left it on for over a week to see if it would finally work. It did not. I was told on the initial call to service dept if it didn't work I could send it back for repair, but I am out of warranty. So I thought it would be easier to buy a new one for $100 than return it to the manufacturer and pay for shipping and repair which may be significant. With the problems I am hearing about here, I will call the service line and see what the estimated cost would be. I may have to write this humidifier off.For those of you within the warranty -- 1 year - you should be able to return it. The selling store should also take it back if it fails within a short time.

Like the other reviewers, the one I bought worked for one season. When I went to use it this year, it does not generate any mist. Instead it shuts off after a short time. Very surprising since I have used other Stadler products that have worked well. They must know this is a dud since they no longer manufacture or distribute it.

... Swizz Style EMS-171 "Stadler Form Hydra" Ultrasonic Humidifier ...I was looking for a small compact humidifier. This unit seamed to meet my criteria. It worked well for a few months (3), but then it developed problems. It is very difficult to reach Tech support. I think this was the wrong choice. The unit should have worked good for at least a season. Let's go back to "Made In The USA". At lease will be able to reach our Tech-Support & companies. What a waste of "Time & Money".

Mine lasted about 2 months before it died. Should have read the reviews here before buying it. When it worked it was great. Highly recommended if you only need a humidifier for 6-8 weeks.

The machine worked great for 5 weeks and then without warning it didn't produce any steam; I had been warned to treat it with kid gloves to avoid hairline fractures in the tank and clean it regularly BUT it didn't help.

This humidifier puts out a lot of moisture, is easy to maintain, and does not come with the usual blinding night light.
