I just called Honeywell (I purchased the soothing comfort warm mist humidifier) and the representative told me definitively that no humidifier of Honeywell uses PTFE. She did say, however, that some of the room heaters do.
Hi, Teflon starts fuming @ 260°C (500°F). This makes total sense when so many have used the product on hit steem without consequences.Just a heads up, I have the 6L Levoit humidifier, have had it for a couple years and it's been working great. It's been getting cooler here and we wanted to start using the warm mist so I reached out to Levoit before doing so and here's their reply:
"Thank you for contacting our team. Our LV-600HH includes high-temperature paint around the heating element which includes Teflon. Therefore, we kindly advise only using the warm mist function at your own discretion, as this may affect your parrot."
We will be sticking with the cool mist on this one, unfortunately
Luisa (Levoit) Dec 10, 2020, 12:03 PM PST Hello Azor, Thank you for reaching back out to our team. The humidifier reaches 64.4 degrees Celcius at its highest temperature. We hope this information helpful! Please feel free to contact our team if you have any questions. Best Regards, Luisa |
My brand new levoit has a Teflon coated atomization chip. I need one ASAP and so venta is ptfe free? even the latest model?Venta airwasher.
you can bleach it to clean completely
no filters to buy, no heat, no PTFE, no "dust" emitted like the ultrasonic
if you turn it off for a week because of high humidity, it doesn't ruin a filter by drying it out and stuff doesn't grow like crazy on the filter.
I'm in Colorado so I have to use them pretty much year round 24-7
You mean the heating element where you put the aroma pad on? I don’t know which model you have. But if you don’t use it it’s not dangerousMy brand new levoit has a Teflon coated atomization chip. I need one ASAP and so venta is ptfe free? even the latest model?
There is no heater in it. Just a plastic vented drum to carry water past a fan to evaporate. PTFE would decrease the efficiency of the paddles to lift water up to evaporate.My brand new levoit has a Teflon coated atomization chip. I need one ASAP and so venta is ptfe free? even the latest model?
Thanks. Is it hard to clean?There is no heater in it. Just a plastic vented drum to carry water past a fan to evaporate. PTFE would decrease the efficiency of the paddles to lift water up to evaporate.
I have the older models, but I can't imagine why they'd use PTFE.
thanks! The atomization chip is used for breaking up the water into fine drops. My only concern is the humidifier catches fire,You mean the heating element where you put the aroma pad on? I don’t know which model you have. But if you don’t use it it’s not dangerous
well, as you could imagine, it is not practical to clean each of the blades on the drum individually.Thanks. Is it hard to clean?
You do know that basically any fire in your home will release toxic gases PTFE is not the only "fluorocarbon" out there, its everywhere . It is even in the dust in your apartment.thanks!

This is exactly what my partner said. In any case I don’t use the heating option. ThanksYou do know that basically any fire in your home will release toxic gases PTFE is not the only "fluorocarbon" out there, its everywhere . It is even in the dust in your apartment.
A cool mist humidifier is way more safe then any other machine that gets hot. even Levoit with "hot mist" are not dangers, the temperatures are not enough to release dangers "fumes". And any device that malfunctions and catches fire will kill your bird.
If it is made of plastic it contains something that will kill your if it caches fire. After TONS of reading this is my conclusion.
