When I was younger, it was mostly exercise induced but as I've gotten older, it's only gotten worse. I especially had a hard time when I moved down south to Georgia. The pollen made it impossible for me to breathe! When Kevin and I first got married, he also complained of the frequent issues Alana would experience particularly with bloody noses. They had a humidifier for her but it was one of those go awful old one's that had been handed down (not going to work - promise)!
Once we moved back up to Michigan, the major issues lessened but still I seem to have passed down the terrible allergies and sinus problems. There is always someone in my household who seems to be sick. So when I first discovered Stadler Form and they agreed to work with me, I was thrilled to give a quality company a try!
Stadler Form was founded in 1998 with the idea that all household appliances don't have to be ugly if they are important for our family and homes. They believe "Making life colorful and enjoyable is the goal and endeavor of us all." I think this is great (if of course the products serve a purpose). Who wants to sport a boring and unappealing air purifier around their home? Not me!
Stadler Form USA sent me over their Stadler Form WILLIAM Ultrasonic Humidifier to help my family out with all their health problems. Stadler states, "William plays in the highest league of craftsmanship and beauty. a stylish ultrasonic humidifier – equipped with all that is possible in modern engineering. It covers large rooms up to 1,000 square feet. He is extremely quiet and powerful, but still low in power consumption. Nothing can compare to this black beauty."
And they are correct! This wonderful appliance would go completely unnoticed if it weren't for the sleek and stylish design. It is completely silent (or at least I cannot hear it over anyone else in my family) and pretty much runs itself. There is a night mode where the lights even dim and an automatic shut off. You can choose the exact level of humidity you prefer and the machine monitors your air and slows then even shuts off if need be to keep your home at the optimum level.
I have to say I have noticed an amazing difference in the length of time someone is sick or congested in my home now that we have this going most days. I have only had to use my inhaler when at the gym working out and actually none of the children have been sick since this arrived (although that could also be a fluke). My only complaint was that when filling the tank and transferring back to the unit, mine leaked on the floor. I am currently waiting on a replacement lid as they assured me this is not normal and my lid must be defective. On a positive note though they were very quick to resolve my problem and come to the rescue with a resolution!
Cost: $229
Available to purchase: Stadler Form USA
Recommendation: I am in love with this humidifier even with the small leaking issue! I do think it is expensive and only time will tell if it will last longer than your average humidifier. The ones I have had in the past can't even be compared in the same ball park to this one so I am sure you are paying for quality to last for YEARS.
Giveaway: Stadler Form USA is going to give one of A Lucky Ladybug's lucky readers a WILLIAM Ultrasonic Humidifier of their own to try! Look for thus giveaway to begin on 1/14/13 as part of the Breathe Easy Giveaway!

I really like the design of this humidifer. It's so much nice than the standard white. Another feature that is great is choosing the amount of humidity. I really like that it "monitors your air and slows then even shuts off if need be to keep your home at the optimum level".
ReplyDeleteGosh I would like to have this product! It would help with all the families allergies, I like that if covers 1000 sq ft so you dont have to have several around and there is nothing I like about the sound they make and this one being quite is definatwly a plus!
ReplyDeleteIt really sucks that your unit has a small leaking issue, but it is totally awesome that you still like this humidifier even with this small issue. It must be a great humidifier. I love that the customer service was right on it for you with the replacement lid. I have never heard of an ultrasonic humidifier until today. I love that you can completely control how humid you can keep things and that it has automatic adjustments to keep you are your optimum levels.
ReplyDeleteThat is one impressive humidifier!! I use one for our son's room, but it doesn't hold a candle to this machine. I think it may be time for a humidifier upgrade!
ReplyDeleteI have entered this giveaway in hopes I can win it for my son.. He has allergy issues and wakes up with problems when the air is too dry. I would love to put this in his room and see if it helps.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try this one, its neat looking and sounds like it would work awesome!
ReplyDeletewe don't own a humidifier but i really like this one. it looks like it works great!
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked into humidifiers in a long time, because they used to just spew wet air, unlike this one, which renews my interest. I really like the fact that you can choose the level of humidity you want, and that the machine monitors your air and slows then even shuts off. This is a great product to win!
ReplyDeleteEither me or my daughter seem to be sick almost all the time, I wonder if this would help? If so, it would so be worth the money! Just to be able to breathe again!!! Love the design too, I have an air purifier (which ended up taking all the moisture out of the air and making it worse for us) that would kinda match it.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try a humidifier but I just didn't know if they really helped as much as they say they do. I really want to try one to see if they help!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such an excellent design and wonderful machine. I hope to someday have one in my home to help with sleeping and shorten the colds! Thank you for the wonderful pictures and review!
ReplyDeleteI like that it monitors the levels in your home and adjusts itself - that's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am unable to breathe in my house and I wake up at least 4 times a night just to have a drink and clear my sinus'....I am exhausted in the morning. I think having one of these might help do the trick and have a good nights sleep

I love the design of this humidifier.
ReplyDeleteSorry to ask but I don't see the rafflecopter for this. Have been looking for it all day.
ReplyDeleteI'd use this in my room.
I could use a humidifier and this one looks really nice. Thanks. Jennifer Jo Archdeacon at jennjo1972@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletei have been looking for a new humidifier since my last one broke that i gave to my mother to use at the assisted living facility. this one looks like something i would be interested in purchasing. i like the automatic adjustments, wish the tank was larger though, i am glas that they are replacing the lid that leaks. i have never heard of this brand. i will search googl for reviews on it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great machine. I should be using a humidifier since both me and my son have asthma but I never got around to buying one so I was so glad that I came across your review of this humidifier. I think I will go over to their site and see what I can find. Thanks for an awesome review. Have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteMy son has allergy issues and his nose hurts when he wakes up int he morning because of the dry air.. This could really help him out. Would love to try!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at lots of humidifiers right now ~ I need one desperately to help with my breathing problems that have become so severe at night that we are having to consider sinus surgery. Really glad to have so many great details about this one in your review.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this review! We use a humidifier in our room but it is a pretty inexpensive, basic model. I'm due with our first baby in March and it would be great to have a really nice model for her nursery. Before spending this amount of money on a product, I love hearing from other people who have used it first. Reviews are great for deciding whether to make a purchase or not!
ReplyDeleteThis would help so much my family! Specially my daughter and her little brother/sister due on June 17. We are always suffering from allergies, and I love to try more natural ways to deal with this problem rather than using over the counter medicine.
ReplyDeleteI too seem to suffer often with illness. I've been diagnosed with COPD and have always had problems with allergies. With the winter months being here now, our furnace seems to always be running and I find myself to often suffer with a bloody nose or clogged sinuses. I would love so much to be able to breathe easier and with some moisture in the air. This product sounds like the perfect solution to my problems. Thank you for this awesome review :)
ReplyDeleteLooking at the pics, it seems like a good size. I don't like to deal with appliances that are too bulky and take up a lot of room. It also looks high tech.
ReplyDeleteThese humidifier would be a great addition to my toddler's room, who always suffers from dry skin and stuffy nose.
ReplyDeletei have never heard of this brand, but it sounds really nice. i like that it automatically adjust, monitors the air, just wish the tank was larger
ReplyDeleteim only just now getting into humidifiers and comparing them... it looks nice, but i think the storage is more on tsome others i have seen... not sure if that is balanced by another feature?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that its low power consumption. We need to save money anywhere we can.
ReplyDeletelove that it is a power saver, love the vapor mist rotates, i really need a new humidifier, it helps with my nose getting stuffy from the heat in the winter
ReplyDeleteI like the sleek design. Most of the things in my house are black so this would match.
ReplyDeleteWhen it get's really cold, we use the fireplace to help heat our house. Then wow, does it get dry in there. Every morning we wake up barely able to breathe. I got an air purifier thinking that might help and it actually made it worse. This looks like the way to go!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a great modern humidifier! I'd love to try it, I think it would help us deal with this flu and cold season.

ReplyDeleteI have been on the lookout for a new humidifier, they seem to be the way to go in keeping a naturally healthy home!
ReplyDeleteGreat review thank you! This humidifier looks pretty neat to me. I love that you can choose the levels you want.. so you dont end up with too much! With allergy season approaching this would be great to have for clean air in your home!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you say about being a hypochondriac! It seems that since I've entered the menopausal stage, I have been sicker than ever in the past! I think our bodies change throughout our lives and we develop allergies, etc., that we may not have had before. I think the William Ultrasonic Humidifier would help me tremendously! I suffer frequently from allergies and lung problems. I would love the opportunity to have this product in my home!
ReplyDeleteThe colder it gets outside, the more the furnace runs and the harder it is to breathe. I like the sounds of reducing sick time. Around here that would be such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThis is an impressive machine. Here in my home in Minnesota my husband and I need a machine to put humidity in our air and as you implied, you get what you pay for in quality. This is high quality. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeletethoght we wernt supppose to mention you know!! love your blog,my name is also lady bug at my house
ReplyDeletelike that is is attractive, can be left in the open, is silent, automatically senses the humidy in the room
ReplyDeleteI love your review, it sounds like this is a great humidifier! I would definitely love to give it a try in our home, we currently run several humidifiers and boil water on the stove throughout the day...not ideal!
ReplyDeleteMy family also has the chronic sinus issues that you talked about in your post. My humidifier is VERY old and dated. I'm sure humidifiers have come a long way since I got this relic! LOL We really could use a new one...
ReplyDeleteI appreciate a well designed machine - this one has a lot of great features
ReplyDeleteLove the look of this humidifier. Plus it has some really nice features. GOing to look into getting one of these
ReplyDeleteThis week has been so cold that our furnace seems to be constantly running. With a lack of moisture in the air, not only am I constantly being shocked, my nose is sore and stopped up with what feels like scabs. We desperately need some moisture here!! This product has been on my mind since I first heard of it :) Need this badly!!
ReplyDeleteI am so very impressed with all I've read about this awesome product. There are so many fantastic features that I can't imagine another humidifier doing a better job! What a pleasure it would be to have a William Ultrasonic Humidifier in my home!!
ReplyDeleteThis humidifier looks awesome! I'd love to try it:-) Now that I'm pregnant I get sick easier and my skin is so dry. This would help me so much!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a humidifier before. This looks like such a wonderful humidifier. So many benefits: breathing easier, save money on filters and looks great!
ReplyDeletei like the design and how it fits in w/ my decor, like that it automatically senses the humidity in the room.
ReplyDeleteI have tried other humidifiers in the past, (won't mention names) but have never found one that really works well. Most are very noisy as well, which does not help at night when trying to sleep. With the William Ultrasonic humidifier being quiet, this would be perfect! I would love more than anything to be able to get a restful sleep and wake up without a bloody nose. Very excited to have this opportunity. Thank you!!
ReplyDeletethere's nothing worse than trying to sleep at night with a stuffy head or a nose all dried out from medications
ReplyDeleteI believe that the William Ultrasonic Humidifier would bring many health benefits to my family. From what I've read in your review, this product sounds like top of the line! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband gets bloody noses all the time, I bet he would love to have one of these!
ReplyDeleteI love that its soundless and that it can do a very large area 1000 feet
ReplyDeletelike that is is quiet, automtically adjusts the humidity in the room, blends in w/ the decor
ReplyDeletelike that it is quiet, blends in w/ the decor, automatically adjusts the humidity in the room
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!
ReplyDeletethis sounds like an amazing product. I have had 6 kids, and over the years have tried the cheaper models. Ones that leak. Ones that spray water ALL over. Ones that "burn" out after just one "season". I looked at more online store reviews and this one looks to be a premium model. Love that the ultrasonic feature helps to combat mold, my son is allergic to. Right now we are ALL getting over the icks at our house. the house is dry although the windows condense and have mold on the sills and trims. I know it is so bad. And we have a 1 year old living with us too. I feel badly we have kids in the house with asthma and this kind of unit would help them. I never knew that an ultrasonic type was available!
ReplyDeleteI also get sick a lot, chronically actually. Immune dysfunction of some sort, so if this could help with that I am IN! Pricey but I bet worth every penny...plus, the quiet feature and the night mode would be nice for us with a baby in the house. Thanks for all the info. Hope your family STAYS healthy!
I have not had the opportunity to meet William yet, but I think I'm in love :) He would certainly be the best thing that's happened to me in quite awhile! Thank you for this chance to have him in my home :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this because my daughter is going to have a baby in April and this would really help with the dryness in their home.
ReplyDeleteLove that it is so low in power consumption. I'm always concerned about how much new products are going to cost me to run.
ReplyDeleteThe design is awesome--I like the idea that it cover over 1,0000 feet space--and I'm glad its durable --lasting a few years not breaking sown after one bad season from use--thanks--great review--with helping keeping families healthier-- I'm sure this is very expensive if you had to purchases this
ReplyDeleteThank you for such an amazing blog...I love the detail of the humidifier and if I don't win in going to buy one♡
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful humidifier!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about getting a humidifier & like that this one is ultrasonic. Looks like it has a lot of good control options too.
ReplyDeleteLove the slick looking dial/control on this humidifier. It's so modern and sleek.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this company. This looks like a quality product. I especially like that it can facilitate a large room and it is quiet. That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe have two little boys that use a humidifier every night. The only thing is one of them is five weeks old and he sleeps in our room. One of our humidifiers broke and now one of them has to do with out. Would love not having to purchase a new one.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best humidifer that I have seen would love to win it.
ReplyDeleteI like that its a combo purifier and humidifier. Its also a sleek looking design.
ReplyDeleteWith William being my father's name, I can't think of a better name for a product! Especially a product like this that would keep me healthy and happy. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds much better than the $40 one we bought... curious to see how much longer it lasts.
ReplyDeleteAll the humidifiers on the Stadler Form website are so neat looking. The Stadler Form Jerry looks like a toaster!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway and I know that it has to come in handy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very sleek. Seems to work great!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful machine really cook I should look at there website because my husband has allergies & this would be a great product to have.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that Stadler makes a nice looking humidifier. Growing up I just remember how ugly these were. I love the "Black Beauty" comment. The large area of coverage is amazing - but the low power consumption hits home for me - we have to really watch that because our power bill is way high!
ReplyDeleteI would be excited to own one of these large coverage - low power consumption "Black Beauties"
