Very simple to use!

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best humidifier!

This is our second winter to use this humidifier. I love the large capacity tanks, and that it leaves no white film on everything. The tanks are easy to fill and replace. We are on the third set of filters, so the filters have last several months. We had no problem ordering replacement filters. This is a great product.

I bought this a month ago. It works well and is not noisy on medium or low speed. I wish there was some indication when the tanks are empty. The machine stays on even with no water, so it is necessary to pull out the tanks to see if they still have water. The tanks get heavy when full. Also the tanks are awkward to remove for refilling.

Can it be near? How can you justify not buying it??
Simply from an electrical perspective: a heating element is a short circuit. A toaster. A resistor. It is the objective least efficient use of electrons.
A fan has a resonant speed, where power is optimized. Using the technology of wicking sponges this thing does things more efficiently than Tony Stark’s heart.

Love the Added Moisture - Hate the Inaccurate Humidistat
on March 4, 2025
Posted by: Josephine

The humidifier has a great design. It is easy to clean; it is easy to fill.
I was able to get my 14% humidity level up to ~40% in no time. I am able to keep enough moisture in the room so that I am no longer shocked by static electricity!! Ability to re-humidify the room is 5 stars.
However, the humidistat does not function well. I am contantly moving the humidistat in order to stay within the desired humidity range. I can not set the gauge for any length of time in order to reach AND STAY WITHIN the desired humidity range. Either the humidifier continues without interruption up to 50% (not my desired range; I allowed this to happen only once); or once stopped at a supposed upper range, the humidifier will not reengage, allowing the humidity to descend below 30%.
For this reason (inaccuracy of humidistat) I do not use the humidifier unless I am at home and awake! I do not use it at night.

My family owns two, and both running strong

My parents got one of these as a wedding gift a long time ago, and it still works! My mom got another one though, and so the old one is a backup but we probably won't need it for that. Looking at other reviews, people were saying the fan is impossible to get to, and, uh, no it isn't, because there's screws on the underside of the fan going around which you can loosen and remove to get to the fan and clean it (yours may not have them but both Evap40s that we have do [20-30 years b/w them], sooooo....). The fans in both have never needed oil which is surprising to me since c frame motors usually need oil so that's a big thing too. The tanks glugging is pretty annoying, but I get used to it. It is a very quiet fan, even on high, which is a comfortable loud (I have fans smaller than the Evap40s and those are way louder). Hopefully this review helps others who are looking into buying one, and yes the wicks can get cleaned (pretty sure it explains it in the instructions). Also, the humidifier fan has a slow spin down, but I'm pretty sure it's the blade- The blade's pitch is very steep for max air output, and the 5303DC I have has ball bearings and the motor takes a long time to stop, but with the blade it stops quickly. It's called air resistance hence why deep pitch blades stop faster than shallow pitch blades. Anyway, thanks Vornado for making a great humidifier which I think will go 5-10 years past the warranty.

Wonderful Purchase
on December 31, 2015

I use this humidifier to cut down on the dryness in my nasal passages and sinuses in the winter. THis is my first humidifier and I LOVE IT. It is easy to fill and manage from faucet to bedroom. The low setting is perfect for nighttime sleep and provides even a nice white noise effect which is soothing. I love the sound of the water being gently released into the unit bit by bit. I haven't formally cleaned it yet, but I anticipate no problem. It took me a long time to agree to purchase a humidifier. this name and model was suggested to me by a friend and it's one of the best suggestions anyone has ever made to me. Really a good buy!!!
Pros: Adjustable Settings, Easy To Use, Lightweight, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!
