I've been using this for about a month, and really like it. It is super easy to fill, and I love that it has two tanks. The design is just great. However, the gurgling sound it makes as the water empties from the tanks wakes my husband up in the middle of the night. It hasn't bothered me, but if you are a light sleeper keep that in mind!

Had an older model that's lasted 10+ years. Bought a few fancier ultrasonic models that just broke down after a few seasons so when it came time to replace them I re-bought this one which was tried and true. Not pretty and kind of bulky but definitely puts moisture in the air!

I've used this unit for about three weeks now. I felt a difference in the house after 30 minutes of running it on high. I live in an area that usually sees only single-digit humidity levels, so the output of this unit is impressive. It's easy to dismantle and clean, then put back together. I really like that this unit can hold four gallons of water, so it doesn't have to be refilled constantly. The water tanks can be a bit noisy as they dispense water into the evaporative tray. It seems to help with the pollen and dust levels inside the house. Overall, a great unit to have for a room or small home.

We purchased the Evap40 early April. 2021, it was love at first "gulp". We moved to one of the hottest, driest, uber unhealthy low humidity, towns in the USA. We weren't aware humidity levels of 8%-15% existed, sadly they do. We purchased at least 5 humidifier mist prior to purchasing the Vornado and were not satisfied, partly because refilling the water was quite inconvenient and because we have horrible water quality (extreme hard water) we were left with white mist over everything, literally. In some amazing, fantastic way, the Evap40 manages to add fresh air in the environment, we weren't expecting that! It's AWESOME - we love it! It manages to keep the environment very cool, which for us in another huge plus! Cleaning is super easy! We run it, nearly constantly. At night we run it on low, and keep it in the living room because I am a light sleeper, so long as I keep the bedroom door slightly closed, I'm totally good, no major noise issues! For those who love a white noise effect also, you'll appreciate having the unit running at night, because it provides that too. Can't beat Made In The USA! Thanks Vornado!

Of all of the humidifiers we've used over the years, this one is the best. The only complaint, a minor one, is that as the water lowers from time to time from the reserve to the pan, it gurgles. Fan on low speed is very quiet, on medium is OK, but high is a bit noisy. Easily brought humidity in a 20' x 25' room from 34 to 45 in a short time.

I bought this humidifier as a replacement for a previous Vornado humidifier of the same design. The motor on the old one gave out, and I decided to purchase the same model as a replacement because I've been so impressed with the thoughtful design and ease of maintenance of this model. I've owned a whole procession of unsatisfactory humidifiers of different designs, so I appreciate the fact that this model is easy to clean and the water tanks are easy to slip into position: they essentially seat themselves. It's easy to check the condition of the filters to see when they need to be changed. The unit makes almost no noise when set at low fan speed.

I have a large house into which the original HVAC contractor installed the SMALLEST Aprilaire unit made (about 1/3 of the required capacity). In order to make up the required 30 gallon per day estimated need, I purchased 3 of these units and they have been running full blast since. The water containers are easy to fill. They may be heavy for some when full, but there is no requirement to fill them all the way if that is a problem.
The unit takes but a few minutes to assemble. I'd like to comment on other comments that I have read about this unit. The twin containers do not drain evenly. This, of course, is due to the very slight differences in the air pressure (vacuum) resulting when the tanks are inverted. Patience is all that is needed...if one drains completely, the other will drain. This is NOT a defect and there is no need to complain about it or try to fix it (as I've seen suggestions for). The design is elegantly simple, reliable and has but one moving part (the fan).
