Customer Review: Works, but has certain defects
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
+ settings 1 and 2 are pretty quiet. I can easily sleep when it is 8-10 feet away from me.
+ it generates considerable humidity within the room and an adjacent room. With my forced air heating and current natural humidity of 28-30%, it can keep around 40% when running on setting 2 in another room (doors open). Good enough for me.
+ it is quite good looking
+ it doesn't take a lot of space, but note that you need a tray!
Cons:
- really disturbing noise comes from the unexpected place: the water tanks! Because of the way it works, an air bubble is formed inside water tanks every 10-20 minutes or so. Then it suddenly and loudly gurgle through the whole vertical water tank for approx. 4 seconds.
It kept waking me up all night and I couldn't get used to it. Had to put the unit outside of my bedroom (it actually runs in another room right now on setting 2)
- I bought 2 units. Each unit has 2 tanks. 1 tank out of 4 was leaking profoundly. Will call for replacement.
- you need a tray to put beneath it. As many have pointed out, when replacing the watertanks, the valve will be activated and a little bit of water will be on the floor.
I bought this 2 inch cooking sheet pan:
[...]
Not a problem when you have a tray.
- unit is quite good looking, but is actually made cheaply. Both units already have their small logos detached because glue wasn't good. I'll put them with my glue. I won't be surprised if units will just stop working after a while.
General observations:
= settings 3 and 4 are much noisier. You won't be able to sleep, but I don't think you need to run it on that setting.
= it won't raise humidity beyond 50% even when running on setting 4 in a closed room. Evaporative technique becomes ineffective when it is humid already. I am personally happy with 40%.
= note that the tanks are vertical and the wicks are down below. The only thing that keeps water from running into your floor is that water tanks are airtight. If there is an air leak on any side of a watertank, all water from this tank will be slowly dripping to your floor. The water is kept inside the tank only by "vacuum" that is created because the tank is airtight. Get a tray!
-----
UPDATE: So far both units working great! Bought a 3rd one and the 3rd one works flawlessly.
They made a world of difference in my house.
Changing the rating to 5 stars!
