Have had new HVAC 6 months and this is first summer with it. Humidity was 74%. Installer claimed cause was ductwork, but old unit had never over-condensed. HVAC installer said we could modify ducts or get condenser. Both options were very $$$$. So I took chance on this Waykar unit. We've had it 1 month with 0 issues. Drains directly into HVAC drain and it stays on 24/7. Humidity problems from over-condensation gone! Humidity down to 48%,. Perfect! I highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product- it does what is says, and will make your house feel better and more comfortable The pump feature is a definite plus-.
I bought this humidifier to control high humidity in my basement. It’s quite effective and efficient. I used both tank and pump and it’s been working great so far. Bring down the humidity very fast.
Quiet and efficient. The machine puts out very little heat, which is great in Florida. We purchased this to help reduce the humidity in the addition of our home that we have to supplement the central air with a portable a/c unit. Easy to set. Easy to empty the water receptacle. Great for a space under 1000 sq ft, but could work for a bigger area (our space isn’t bigger than that!)
This unit changed the entire atmosphere in my 595 square foot basement keeping humidity percentage consistently between 40 - 45. It’s also benefit the air throughout the entire home. We’re in the middle of all the August 2026 Indiana floods so it’s processing an enormously amount of moisture right now and performing spectacularly!
I would give the operation 5 stars and the water tank 2 stars.
The operation and function is great and the unit is very well made.
My complaint is the water tank. The tank is sturdy but you cannot adjust the water level and the setting is so close to the top so the full tank is very heavy and can spill easy. You need to support the tank from the bottom because I fear the handle would eventually give out due to the weight of a full tank. It is also cumbersome to clean the inside of the tank.
If Wakar would lower the water level indicator for auto shut off it would be a huge improvement and easier to work with. I try to check it a couple times per day so I can empty the tank before it is full.
I recently bought this, and owned the cth models before this one, and learned for my environment the chwa was a better option in terms of efficiency price and efficacy for my enviroment, I use these in my bed room and throughout the home and I quickly recognized waykar as one of the better brands for my uses
