SILENCE. This is the quietest fan I’ve never heard.
CONSUMABLES. Wick is all wick, no frame/structure/waste.
HEALTH. Treated wicks, no bacteriostat to buy
MAINTENANCE. NO moving parts besides fan
Visible water level, anti-scale water treatment is encouraged
CONSTRUCTION. The bottles constitute end walls of a small, light structure.
Simple design reduces material waste

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!
on January 17, 2024

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 would recommend this to a friend!

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

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.

Not as it should be
on December 21, 2017
Posted by: AB

Having owned the predecessor to this unit for over 10 years with no problems in it's functioning, I am very disappointed in this newer version. the 1st one I bought didn't have a working humidistat so was given another unit under the warranty. Tje 2nd unit is basically the same - humidistat worked twice in a few weeks. Mostly I have to work it manually which is difficult, can't be done when sleeping. So either the room is too dry or too wet. What a big disappointment in what used to be such a wonderful product.
Pros: Durable, See through water tanks, Stable Base
Cons: 2nd unit that humidistat doesn't function naking
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
