Easy to use, quite operation, has improved the air quality in our home. Surprised at how effectively it has increased the humidity throughout our home. Recommend locating humidifier near the furnace return in the home and switching furnace fan to circulate to distribute the humidity throughout entire house. Very happy with purchase.
I replaced my ultrasonic humidifier with this one. The ultrasonics require constant cleaning of hard water deposits and everything around them gets covered in a white dust. not sure what that's all about. I've been using the evap40 vortex for several weeks and I'm very happy with it. It holds a ton of water and all the hard water deposits are centralized in the 2 filters. The filters can be cleaned in a vinegar water soak, just don't wring them out or they'll tear up. It runs very quiet in the bedroom with the only objectionable sound is the gulping noise when water leaves the tanks to fill the bottom of the unit, hence my 4 star rating instead of 5.
I had two of them a long time ago and needed a third--New York City forced-air heating is very dry. I tried every other Vornado and had my problems with every one--leaking, replacing, leaking again. But now I am so happy and have no more worries. I'm back to being a cheerleader for this Vornado humidifier.
I have owned 4 different humidifiers over the years. First attracted to this one for capacity. Very happy that it is made in America. Performance is very good. Simple, only 4 pieces and 2 filters make it easy to maintain. Quiet and efficient. I am a "happy camper".
I have to use a humidifier for health reasons and have used these for years. I am so glad that you went back to this design. This is easier to fill and the tanks don't leak. I've had the smaller version of this and this size and them have lasted for years. I didn't like the change you made to the humidifier a few years ago. Those tanks would leak and make a mess. I actually went to another type of humidifier, I was really happy to see that you went back to this design! Being unable to clean the propellers of the fan is a problem. They tend to get very dusty. I also recommend using an additive to the water so it doesn't grow algae or bacteria.
