I’ve owned 3 Arizer Airs. The original with no screen, and two Air 2s with the OLED screen. All of them have failed after 2-3 years with “Error 5”. I tried fixing them but never got anywhere. I took them apart, cleaned them, shook them around, introduced percussive maintenance, and all other advice I found on forums and the other site.

At this point I’m done with Arizer. This is a design flaw that hasn’t been addressed. I want something that lasts. I loved the simplicity and low maintenance of the Arizer product line. I like removable batteries. Vapour quality was also neat.

What should I replace this with?

FWIW this couldn't be more different than my experience with their Solo models. I had a Solo I up until I tried a 3rd party bubbler attachment which was 1) very stupid of me, 2) failed and dumped water into the unit. The Solo II I've had has been working flawlessly with almost daily use for, gosh, going on 5 years now?

It shows no sign of wear and I hardly ever clean the thing, I've cleaned with with alcohol swabs maybe twice. Arizer even gave me a discount on the II after I broke my Solo I arguably myself.

My buddy has the III and loves it, for whatever that's worth.

I know thats not exactly the kind of recommendation you were looking for, sorry for that, just thought I'd share my experience if it's at all helpful.

Then you’ve been quite lucky because I’ve had 3 units fail to error 5 and so have many other people if you search it. Glad yours hasn’t caused you any issues
