Customer Reviews for Vornado - Evap40 Whole Room Evaporative Humidifier - White

I really like this model. When on Medium its actually very very quiet. I haven't needed to put it on high so Im not sure how it would sound. But I have a big family room with a very tall ceiling and turning it on Medium it can pump some major moisture in the air pretty fast and putting the other knob in the middle it can detect when to turn off and on automatically so I don't have to worry about it at all till the water jugs need to be filled up and that is super easy too. Very happy with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Evap40 one month ago because I had dry eye. Within an half hour my eyes started to feel better, and my dry eye was gone within 24 hours. My air is noticeably different. I love this humidifier so much. It is easy to put together and fill up. When not filled, it is lightweight so I can move it from room to room, and even travel with it. I put a tray underneath to catch any drips, and to slide it around when full. I don't know how I lived so long without one. I suggest everyone get a Vornado Evap40 because it works great. My life is better because of this humidifier. Oh and I love that it is made in USA.

For what it is worth I am happy with this but with some caveats that may be more related to my water quality then the device itself hence the 5 stars I gave.
Understand I had the same evaporative type device up in the northeast a decade ago and now that I am in the southeast I am surprised that the city water in both regions has the hardness and mineral content that stains the wicks for these.
Continuing on, and with that said I am sure distilled water is the way to go but I can’t imagine purchasing and hauling gallons of water from the store to my home every week.
Keep in mind these wicks dry out on the ends that are not submerged.
Just to be fair I think semi daily maintenance is the only way to subvert the issues of grimy water, mineral deposits on the wicks, and slime buildup on the interior surfaces.
Only thing is that is a lot if work to achieve moist air.
Eventually after 3 weeks of ownership and nasty looking wicks I have cleaned the unit, replaced the wicks, and added my own charcoal ‘activated’ filters in front of the wicks in an attempt to have cleaner wicks and water.
But to the question of “does it work?”, well yes!
In a large room with low not extreme outdoor humidity this unit will maintain around 52% humidity.
Don’t open the door to the room or performance decreases of course.
Extremely low temps during the colder and driest winter this year this thing doesn’t really keep up beyond 40%.
Now going forward I plan to use this humidifier with the bedroom door closed overnight and once awake in the morning I will refill the unit adding a 1/4 cup of vinegar but will not run it until 12 hours later at sleep time.
Each week I will rinse it or clean it.

Our main reason for purchasing the Vornado - Evap40 is that it is made in the USA. The humidifier works as stated. We are able to humidify our home and use a hygrometer to adjust the humidifier settings as need. It is easy to clean.

I bought this for a guitar room that needs humidity through the fall and spring months. I have been wishing to find a humidifier that does not need daily filling, get mineral buildup in the mechanical components, or leave a filmy residue. This is it! It is being used in a 12 x 15 ft room, I keep the door cracked and using a separate humidistat, the room is maintained right where I need it, the t took a little fussing with the setting to find the sweet spot. I only need to fill it about every three days.

This humidifier was recommended by a friend. After trying a few different brands and types of humidifiers over the last several years, I’ve finally found one that significantly raises the humidity level in my studio apartment with high ceilings. No complicated parts to clean, just disinfect the base and replace the wicks when necessary. Done!
