The main concern with humidifiers/vaporizers is stuff growing in the wet environment that then is dispersed into the air. This isn't the case with heaters. But in my non-expert opinion, I'd still want to be sure anything with a fan element is kept clean so dust isn't getting blown all over or be aware of the issues of potential fumes (i.e. kerosene heaters.)

I think we've decided to go ahead and try this one. Heather, I was told the same thing, unless it's a warm mist humidifier, or one that can sanitize itself. I'm considering this one because of the sanitizing solution that can be added. Harriett, you have some very valid concerns, and they are very similar to mine. Thank you so much for your input; and I figure I can add cleaning the fan blades to my evening routine of cleaning nebs, bottles, baby toys, etc. It's only $50, so if it doesn't work out, and I start noticing anything that can/could breed bacteria; or if this becomes too much of a hassle to use, then we aren't out much, and I'll just auction the thing off on Ebay lol. I just can't find enough evidence that's for OR against this version. I guess it'll be an experiment. For now, once we get it, I'll just keep it in the room that sits off of our main bedroom, and maybe that way, if it does begin to grow bacteria before I notice it...maybe the risk of it effecting Paige will be reduced. Does that make sense? Does anyone think it's too much of a risk? I just really haven't found enough information to convince me one way or the other.

Have you checked with her Dr.? That would probably be the thing to do before you shell out the cash. I've also been advised not to risk any type of humidifier by Piper's Drs, actually in two different CF Clinics where she's been a patient. I just think it's one of those better safe than sorry situations when our kids pick up and hold onto bacteria so easily anyway <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You're right. I think it can wait until our Dr's appointment on the 9th. I don't want to risk making her sick.
