Tools and Hardware Reviews of Enviracaire Warm Mist Humidifier With UV Protection EWM-220

Customer Review: Every year I buy a new humidifier - not this year.
Summary: 5 Stars

Every year I buy a new humidifier, except this year. This year is the first time I used the same humidifier as last year.

You can check my reviews for other humidifiers, I've reviewed one or two others, and this is by far the best.

I had an ultrasonic humidifier, and it left a white dust all over everything, that I later learned gets into your lungs - you can imagine how fast I stopped using that humidifier. Also, the rubber gaskets that kept the water tanks full dried up over the summer and it was almost impossible to close the water tanks the next year.

I had a "wicking" humidifier, but why introduce something into your house that grows mold? The pads are expensive & have to be replaced regularly as the get moldy, even if you rinse them & use the special water additive. Why bother?

This humidifier is great. The two generous tanks last more than a full 24 hours. Each night when I replace the tanks, there's always some water left over in one of them (one empties earlier than the other - that's just physics, one tank will be minutely lower than the other & empty first).

There is a boiling water sound, which I've gotten used to. The built in hygrometer doesn't seem to do much - it's either on or off. The boiling water help heat the room, which is good since I primarily use it in the cold, dry winter months (cold air can't hold that much water, so there's little water in the outside air to transfer the warm indoor air). If I leave the bedroom door closed, it gets quite toasty in there at times.

A crust forms in the basin - that's all the stuff that's not going in to the air (that would be if you used an ultrasonic humidifier). Mine is mostly rust colored and is made up, presumably, of rust - we live in an old building. This is annoying to clean out every few days, but relative to other humidifiers, clean up here isn't so bad.

There's small round cotton discs that protect the heating element, and you'll want to stock up on those. Luckily they're amazingly cheap and come like 5 or 10 to a pack.

So let's review.

- No expensive pads like a wicking humidifier, just cheap pads.
- No risk of mold, which is a constant battle with a wicking humidifier.
- No white dust that gets into your lungs like an ultrasonic humidifier.
- Survived the summer to be used in the next year, I expect it to survive another year to be used next year too - YAY!
- Two large tanks last 24 hours.
- Boiling water sound, could be a negative if you're a sensitive sleeper.
- Warm water warms the room, which helps in the winter.
- Must be cleaned thoroughly every few days, which is annoying, but doable. Just be sure to keep water out of the fan.
- A UV lamp (which I haven't had to replace yet) claims to kill germs - this may or may not be true. Eventually you're supposed to replace the bulb, but I haven't had to yet.
