I replaced my ultrasonic humidifier with this one. The ultrasonics require constant cleaning of hard water deposits and everything around them gets covered in a white dust. not sure what that's all about. I've been using the evap40 vortex for several weeks and I'm very happy with it. It holds a ton of water and all the hard water deposits are centralized in the 2 filters. The filters can be cleaned in a vinegar water soak, just don't wring them out or they'll tear up. It runs very quiet in the bedroom with the only objectionable sound is the gulping noise when water leaves the tanks to fill the bottom of the unit, hence my 4 star rating instead of 5.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Somewhat disappointed

It is advertised that it will humidify a large area. It barely does that. I purchased it mainly to provide humidity for my piano and I need to run it at high in order for it to reach 40%. It does not shut off when it is empty which is a minus. Having wheels on the base would make it easier to move.
Pros: Adjustable, Durable, Stable Base
Cons: Lacks Power
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Replacement filters not available.

My Evap 40 Vortex Humidifer seems to run fine & adds humidity to my rooms. BUT I can't find where or how to buy the replacement filters. Very annoying. I'm not interested in sharing my email address with your company to send me advertisements. But I don't know how else to order this filter. I purchased this machine at a local retail store.
Pros: Adjustable Settings
Cons: Can't Purchase Filters, Hard To Clean
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you are looking locally, check with Bed, Bath and Beyond store and Ace Hardware stores for the replacement filter wicks. All Vornado Evaporative Humidifiers use the same filter wicks so if they are Vornado, they are the correct ones.
You can order them directly from us at http://www.vornado.com/accessories/Universal-Humidifier-Wick-2-pack or by calling 1-+800-234-0604.

The main reason I chose this model over the other with the same capacity was because it is made in the USA. It does the job of humidifying an area of about 1700 sq ft efficiently. That said: I do not like the way the bottles are made. They are obviously designed for larger hands than mine and are awkward for me to handle. Every time I fill them, I am afraid that I will not get it properly seated so am extra careful. A small improvement of a molded handle on the top similar to the one on the inside surface would help greatly. Also, it is noisier than what I replaced, both in the fan at medium speed and when it releases water into the reservoir. When it arrived, there was fine gritty dust inside the box and inside the body of the unit. I presume this was because I live on a graveled road and the packaging was not tight enough to keep the dust out, even with the plastic bag around the item inside, in the cargo area of the carrier's truck. I vacuumed and cleaned the entire item and hoped the grit didn't get into the fan's motor. I have been using it for about a month and there doesn't seem to be any damage as it runs fine.

Reservoirs hard to remove and then replace when full. Forget about being able to do it with 1 hand. Lacking auto shut off when empty.

Could burn down your house. Probably won't.

Have two of these. Bought one in May 2018 and another in December 2018. They increase the humidity a bit and worked great for a while. The issues (on both of them) is that the fan will eventually stop spinning on the low and medium fan speeds. Eventually it will stop running on high. Came back to my apartment once and smelled burning. The fan had stopped spinning and I assume the motor was overheating. This is a bit alarming to happen on both units. Removed all the dust and oiled the fan shaft and that got them running again for a few more months. Then they stopped again. Will reach out to Vornado to see what they recommend to get the fans spinning again. I know it's a cheap unit but making cheap products just contributes to our waste problem. For the environment, we need to stop having so many children or make better humidifiers. In the meantime, make sure you have good homeowners insurance in case your house burns down.

I purchased about three months ago, worked great. Now all of a sudden my hygrometer is showing low levels of humidity. Also the water is not evaporating close to the speed that it once was. Something is definitely wrong. Maybe I bought a lemon? If was fun while it lasted.
