Wonderful Purchase
on December 31, 2015
Posted by: Liness
from Pittsburgh PA
I use this humidifier to cut down on the dryness in my nasal passages and sinuses in the winter. THis is my first humidifier and I LOVE IT. It is easy to fill and manage from faucet to bedroom. The low setting is perfect for nighttime sleep and provides even a nice white noise effect which is soothing. I love the sound of the water being gently released into the unit bit by bit. I haven't formally cleaned it yet, but I anticipate no problem. It took me a long time to agree to purchase a humidifier. this name and model was suggested to me by a friend and it's one of the best suggestions anyone has ever made to me. Really a good buy!!!
Pros: Adjustable Settings, Easy To Use, Lightweight, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

all in all this is a good humidifier

I have to use a humidifier for health reasons and have used these for years. I am so glad that you went back to this design. This is easier to fill and the tanks don't leak. I've had the smaller version of this and this size and them have lasted for years. I didn't like the change you made to the humidifier a few years ago. Those tanks would leak and make a mess. I actually went to another type of humidifier, I was really happy to see that you went back to this design! Being unable to clean the propellers of the fan is a problem. They tend to get very dusty. I also recommend using an additive to the water so it doesn't grow algae or bacteria.

Does the Job Intended

I had the previous model which finally gave up the ghost. This model designation seems to be just a change as the parts are interchangeable, so you need not throw out filters, water tanks, etc. if you have the older model. I wanted a unit that wasn't ultra-sonic and would provide humidification for several days without the need for a refill. The unit is quiet even at the highest fan speed. The humidistat is a bonus. I've had a number of Vornado products over the years and each has worked well out of the box and reliably over many years.

gradually increasing fan noise
on November 13, 2018
Posted by: Wally
from Story, Wyoming
We have had our EVAP40 for three years. We have been very satisfied during previous winters where it keeps the humidity at the right levels despite forced air heat and a wood stove. This year though, the fan has gotten louder and louder. (Nearly shop-vac volume.) Even at low speed it is pretty noisy. I suspect a bearing failure. I've looked on-line for a replacement motor, but they don't seem to be available. I've recommended to friends before, but not anymore.
Pros: Adjustable, Durable, Good Power Output, Stable Base
Cons: Loud
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Problem Solver

My wife started having some breathing issues as the season changed and we started using much more heat. I put one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The problems disappeared. The product is extremely quiet and very easy to load. The large tank capacity make refilling a once (at most) a day task.
Pros: Adjustable Settings, Easy To Use, Lightweight, Quiet

This product is used to humidify my 1200-sq ft apartment. It more than adequately handles this chore. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a carefree humidifier.
Pros: Acts Quickly, Easy To Use, Effective, Gentle, Not Messy

Mixed Feelings On This Product
on December 10, 2014

I am impressed with how quiet this humidifier is, even on High speed ( on which mine is always set ). After having a Sunbeam brand humidifier, this baby is whisper quiet in comparison. However, I do not feel that it does as large an area as it claims. The humidifier runs continually (unless it is raining outside, only then it will shut off). It takes a while to get used to the fill jugs. They have a very narrow hole for in which to fill the tank and it feels strange placing them into the machine. However, the positive here is that there are no parts to wear out on the fill tanks. I would consider this to be more a room humidifier rather than a whole house humidifier. The machine will usually put two gallons of moisture in the air overnight and about as much during the day so filling the tanks is usually twice a day (for in which I do not have a problem, after all that is what we want this machine to do--put moisture in the air). I do not have a large area and it struggles to keep the air moist (always under 45%and rarely reaches that high unless it is raining). I guess I can say I have mixed feelings on this product, but it does a nice job for what it does.
I would recommend this to a friend!

love this humidifier!

I have had this humidifier so long I can't even remember exactly when I bought it. It has to be at least ten years ago. It is great function and simplicity. It humidifies well and its' simple design makes it easy to use and care for. The 2 large tanks keep you from having to refill too often. I actually like the filters. It makes it feel clean and fresh. Someone complained about them but even though I have hard water and have to replace them a little more often I don't mind. It has been durable and I don't have to think about it I just get it out every year, easy peasy. A few years ago I thought this model was gone but here it is again and I'm so glad it's back! I will probably buy another to have two. It's the best.
I would recommend this to a friend!
