Exactly what I need

This humidifier is doing exactly what I needed: moisturizing the air that heat has been making unbearably dry. It's in a central location in my house and seems to be positively impacting both levels. No more shocking out kitties when we pet them, one another, and noses are much less dry. This unit is easy to get up and running, is quiet, easy to refill, and easy to clean. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m really impressed with this humidifier. The airflow design distributes moisture evenly throughout the room instead of concentrating it in one spot. It runs efficiently, feels environmentally friendly, and does exactly what it promises. Definitely worth it.

We have a 1600 sq ft house with 800 sq ft on ground floor and 800 sq ft in basement. WE run a natural gas furnace which provides very good heat but dries the air considerably and it was in the 30% to 40% range I set this humidifier at 50% and run it on high and in less than 24 hrs our humidity levels were in the normal range and averaging about 45% to 60% which is perfect. Very low maintenance humidifier. I don't use the expensive humidifier water treatments . I put about a 1/2 tea spoon of bleach in each water tank about every week and no mold or mildew at all. For the price point this may well be the best humidifier out there.

I've had a Vornado 1-gallon tank system for about 5 years, and it works great, but we moved to Arizona. Our house is larger and it's a drier climate, so I ordered the EVDC500. I could tell a difference right away. We have it in a large open space (831 SF). My husband had been gone for a week and came home and commented that he could tell a difference. I was visiting friends for several days and could tell a difference that their home was much drier than mine. It's quiet, no white dust forms, and it's easy to use. I love that it has a feature that automatically turns it off if it runs out of water. I would highly recommend it.

Works fine for me.

I have had this unit for about six years now. It has been working great. I have a 1250 sq. ft. townhouse. It can maintain a minimum 40% RH with outside temps in the teens Fahrenheit. I use the Eco mode and it is whisper quiet. I use RO water and one teaspoon of treatment per tank
I think I can address two of the complaints.
As far as the humidification capacity goes make sure the wicks are properly seated and are wet at the top. Also they need monitoring. I find that the lifespan for me is six to eight weeks. Depending on usage. Bottom line is that is your home allows a lot of air infiltration the unit may simply not be able to keep up. You probably need a larger capacity humidifier. Or two.
The other issue is one I first experienced today! Leakage. Yes, it was caused by overfilling. In my case I filled a tank right to the top. The water coming from the tap is cold. Because my RO water system is in the basement. As the water sits in the tank and rises to room temperature it expands pushing out past the valve. I found a small amount of water on the floor. Leave a quarter inch air gap to the top when you fill it. Problem solved.

I leave it on the auto/eco mode and it quietly purrs, I love it. The humidistat doesn't show what the current reading is, just the set point, but based on when the fan starts and what two other devices show for rh% it's got to be dead on. Easy to take apart and clean too

The humidifier reservoirs are easy to fill and clean. Due to the way the unit is designed, the base is very easy to clean when replacing filters. It maintains a constant humidity in the house; and is very quiet.
