Indoor air can become overly dry in the winter months, especially with heating systems in full force. This console-style humidifier makes it simple to create a comfortable living environment. It provides an impressive output of 11 gallons per day and, with the use of high-quality wicks, can accommodate a whole house up to 2300 square feet. The humidifier offers an easy-to-fill 3-gallon water tank and a user-friendly top-access control panel with a digital display for convenient operation. Other highlights include a built-in hygrometer for measuring the relative humidity, an automatic humidistat that maintains personal comfort levels, and a variable-speed motor with a quiet nighttime setting. A replaceable Super Wick model 1041 comes included, and an optional two-stage AirCare Filter model 1051 can be purchased separately. Housed in a sleek, modern cabinet that will nicely complement any decor, the console-style humidifier measures 15 by 24-1/2 by 18 inches and carries a two-year warranty on the motor and a one-year warranty on all other components, except for the wicks.
Jeff is right - Don't buy this humidifier!
Does not work as advertised. When set at our preferred 40% humidity, the humidistat room reading reads 45% and never varies.
When the preferred humidity level was set to 50% the fan will run until the humidity level reaches 55% and then shut off. But, after just A FEW SECONDS, the room humidity level reading drops to 47-49% and the fan comes on. Again, it will run for just a few seconds and repeat the above process continually, never staying on or off for more than a few seconds at a time. There is no way humidity can rise or fall that much in just a few seconds.
After calling the factory, they said it was defective and to bring it back to the store. A second unitwas ordered which ended up being no better than the first.
I ended up returning the second unit as well. Stay away from this particular humidifer. It's noisey and cheaply made.
Humidistat was broken
I paid 113 USD for this unit. It was awkward to use, and felt cheaply made. It did a fine job humidifying the house but the humidistat was broken. Its humidity reading would not drop below 50%, when other humidistats in my home were indicating 30%. According to it, the humidity level was about 60% ! I have found a review elsewhere indicating the same problem. I returned it and bought a unit for 70 USD that works much better.
Wick went dry in 2 days and LOUD!
I followed the instructions by filling the tank, turned on high, and never let it run dry. By mid day 2 the wick was 3/4 dry. The unit on high was so loud that it can be heard on all 3 stories of my house. In their defense, this was my first humidifier. It's going back tomorrow.
