what is the warranty on this item? Has anyone used it for over a year? any problems with mold? how many levels may be added?

Sorry I returned. Came with missing parts. Could not get part needed so returned.

I used mine for a week and then stopped because I don't have enough maintenance time. You really can't leave it for 3 days like I hoped. It didn't suit my purpose but it could be fine for the right person. I know you can go 2 levels, but not sure about 3 and I think that the warranty is a year. Mold was not a problem for me, but it would be if you didn't attend to your sprouts regularly. You can have mine for half price if you want it--It looks original. Robert

I have had this for well over a year. You need to harvest the sprouts when they get tall enough so that it doesn't mold - I've missed the harvest a few times and the roots did start to mold but I figure that was on me. I only grow for 2 or 3 people so I've never added levels. Hope that helps.

The interior parts may be leaking. They may be replaced. Check at the companies website. I keep it in the refrigerator, when it empties, I refill it. I don't worry about mold.

Read the instruction book - there is a clearly marked water level line on the plastic tank. We put ours up against the wall when we're not using it. I think as long as there is sunlight and you are actively using it the water should be fine. The chlorine tablet is essential to discourage mold/mildew. If you are storing it for a longer period of time unused I would empty it and allow all water to evaporate out for a dry interior - otherwise mold and mildew will form in a sealed and dark space that has any moisture.

I've had K&H; Cool Beds for at least 10 years. I have never seen any mold. I keep mine (I have 2) clean with mild soap and water. My dogs LOVE this bed.....they use it all year round!

I have had mine for about 6 months and no mold. But, we do not let it sit in the water. We use it to fill the baths and then take it out of the water once the kids go in.

I have 2 of these racks and love them! One of them is used in Florida, where it is humid, and we have not seen any mildew/mold. Have used it for 4-5 years. There is a coating of plastic on the rods.

We had a similar Neptronic unit for 8 years prior to replacing it with the Aprilaire unit. Never had a mold problem in the duct work.

I used bleach to clean mine. You have to rinse about 100 times to make sure to get it all out but it worked. All mold gone. I left overnite. Only use enough bleach to cover the bottom

I had one for 4 years & it did not accumulate any mold. It broke so I got a new one.

i've had mine for almost 4 months and there is no indication of any type of mold or fungus on it. it is however easy to keep clean and sanitary.

I have had the same issue with mold. I try getting rid of it best I can, but usually just end up dealing with it and figure it probably won't kill me.

I agree with cleaning it once a week; I let it go for a few months and the mold was out of control. The design traps water underneath, at least in my tub. So now I lift the mat and let it drip-dry after use. I purchased a new mat and expect it to last this time.

Well, I have never come across a problem with mold. I do know that the bristles clean well into the grooves and are great for getting out other muck and debris, so in my opinion I would think it wold have the ability to clean mold off of vinyl as well. There are also fluid/enzyme cleaners that may be of some assistance.

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

It doesn't come apart in that sense. There is a weekly maintenance using white vinegar for scale and diluted chlorine bleach for disinfection. I have had no issues at all with mold to date. I have had mold issues with evaporative type humidifiers in the past. This ultrasonic is better so far.

I never had any problems with Mold and Mildew, but I did use those little balls that you can purchase for this unit. My biggest problem was that it left a white, chalky feeling coating on all surfaces within 3 ft. of the unit. It would take too much distilled H2O to got that route. I stopped using it.
