I bought the Evap 40 several months back. It goes through wicks in less than two weeks. The company reps blame my water supply. I guess it requires distilled water, so if you buy one don't expect to use your faucet to filled it up. Good luck in getting the distilled water from a gallon container into the Evap 40 reservoir. I would not buy again!
I’m so glad I got this humidifier a few weeks ago. I can’t believe how simple it is with only 4 parts. I placed it near the return air for the central heating/air conditioner and it works great. The only feature that I wish it had was an indicator when it is out of water.
SILENCE. This is the quietest fan I’ve never heard. CONSUMABLES. Wick is all wick, no frame/structure/waste. HEALTH. Treated wicks, no bacteriostat to buy MAINTENANCE. NO moving parts besides fan Visible water level, anti-scale water treatment is encouraged CONSTRUCTION. The bottles constitute end walls of a small, light structure. Simple design reduces material waste
I have used this humidifier for over a year now. We heat with wood. My eyes have felt like sand paper lined my lids. My Eye Dr. said I had dry eyes. After using the Vornado evaporative humidifier my Dr. said my dry eye was gone. My scratchy eyelids were gone. My eyes feel so much better! I have five dogs so go through the filters probably faster than most but the benefit is worth it. I highly recommend this humidifier.
I bought this humidifier about a month ago for our bedroom and am very happy with it. We run it all night long on low and it is very quiet. It has a large enough capacity that I only have to refill it once a week, but you have to be patient when filling the containers because the opening are small. I was glad to see that it was made in the USA and would recommend it
I've been through several humidifiers over the past few years. Each of them were too flawed (loud, uncleanable, chalk dust, ineffective) to keep. I think this is the one. First the two flaws: the water isn't easy to fill, and (while operating) it gurgles. The gurgle isn't the worst. High fan masks it fairly well. In a month it did wake me once (light sleeper). Here's why I'm keeping it: It's such a breeze to clean. It does take a few days to get the humidity up by much, but it'll keep it there. This does not go through the wicks as quickly as another Vornado humidifier I had. After a month, I'm still using the original wicks. Before, they needed replacing more often than the every two weeks I replaced (for the cost of a drug store humidifier every month). It's simple to operate. I have owned Vornado heaters, fans, air filters, humidifiers for about 15 years and have been happy with everything but the humidifiers. This ugly duckling is far better than anything else they have.
Bought this Evap 40 3 months ago using it in an apartment 1100 sq.feet approx. with baseboard heaters and water hardness is 15 grains. Using it on Medium Fan and humidistat set so that it runs all the time. I have an hygrometer that reads between 40 -45%. Water consumption is approx. 8 litres ( 2 Gals ) per day. My wife and I can definately breathe much better.
