Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have four of these, and they are very good humidifiers. Even with a whole house humidifier on one furnace our humidity levels in the house would drop to the 10% range during spans of cold weather when both gas furnaces were running often. This caused our wood floors to shrink, along with the dry itchy skin, and static electricity that happens with low humidity. Adding a another built-in humidifier on the second furnace isn’t an option due to the space where it’s installed. So, I initially bought three of these to place in different rooms. Running non-stop on high for a few days they raised the entire house humidity to the low 30% range, so I added a fourth one to the loft area over the great room. The house now averages between 35-50% humidity depending on how often the furnaces run, which is perfect. I can easily lower their output setting on the dial when less is needed. When running on high I typically have to refill the 6 liter tanks twice a day, once in the morning, then before bed. On lower settings once a day is enough. They are nearly silent. We don’t hear them running at all. No leaks, and the directional guide lets us set them to blow away from walls and furniture. My only wish is that they could be filled from the top or had a handle to carry the tank. It can be awkward and cumbersome when the tank is full and trying to carry it from the sink to the unit. I typically have to hug it with both arms and it will get drops of water on my shirt, and then dribble on the floor when flipping it over to set on the unit. Top filling would have been ideal. I have to carry a hand towel with me when refilling to wipe up drops off the wood floors. But otherwise they have never leaked, the water is just from having to flip the tank over to set it in the base. I do really like the LED lit water level window. It is very easy to see when they need to be refilled. I have not tried the tiny essential oil drawers, so no opinion there. Overall, I am very happy with these. Quality was consistent across all four. They work. They fixed our humidity issue, and life is much better when you don’t want to claw the skin off your legs every day from dry air.
