BONECO - S450

I was very very happy with the Boneco S450 for about 9 years. It uses actual boiled steam and a demineralization pad which bobs around the boiler plate. I would use Boneco cleaner which is essentially powdered CLR each year before storage. Then I went to replace it. It still worked, but I just wanted a refresh. And found it was removed from the U.S. market. So, it being long in the tooth, I decided to disontinue use and keep it dry in storage as a backup. After several false starts, returns, and wasted money, I settled on the Dreo 8 liter. It is high capacity, has an available demineralization cartridge, and, although a very similar design as the Levoit, is not prone to becoming water logged and leaking upon startup. I have never had the Dreo leak. It is also wifi capable.

I have a couple of Bonecos and would buy them again if they hadn’t stopped selling them in the US. I also bought a Vornado EV3 which is easy to clean and would recommend.
