Product Overview
This Space-Saver humidifier from AIRCARE is sure to complement any decor. Our humidifiers work by adding invisible moisture to your environment by moving dry air through a saturated wick. Maintaining proper humidity levels between 30% to 50% in your home/office/workplace has been scientifically proven to help prevent the flu and allergies. Proper humidity hydrates your skin, alleviates dry eyes, scratchy throats and can reduce snoring. With a doctor's approval, increased humidity can reduce asthma and allergy symptoms. It also protects fine furniture, musical instruments, collectibles and wood floors. Proper humidity makes you feel warmer allowing you to lower your thermostat setting which will save money.

Nice unit, glad I bought it. And unfortunate side feature is that it blows the air straight up and thus fails to get air circulation in the room. Many other air conditioner units do the same thing. As can be seen in the picture, I used some bent wire to hold the grate up in a way that produces better air movement.

We’re really glad you’re enjoying your new humidifier. While you will definitely hear a sound coming from the unit while it’s operating, it shouldn’t be disruptive.

Please give us a call at 800-547-3888 and one of our Customer Service Team members will walk you through a quick check-up on your unit. Our office hours are 7:00 am – 5:00 pm CST, Monday through Friday. -Natalie, Essick Air Products

December 8, 2018
Delivered in a few days by Home Depot. Super easy setup ... just pushed in the 4 coasters, put the filter and float back in, and put the top on. Pretty quiet operation on low - I have it in my great room and dont need to turn up the TV :D Humidified this room to 50% in about 6 hours; now cycles on and off as designed to keep the level up. Using about 4 gallons a day in this 20'x28' room.
CANNOT recommend for anyone with cervical disabilities as you need to truck gallons of water to the unit several times to fill it, and water is HEAVY. Be prepared to make many (10-15) trips or wheel it back ad forth to a water source.
Only complaint is the STRONG PLASTIC SMELL that has yet to dissipate. Only been running it for 2 days but will call the manufacturer soon to see what it is I'm inhaling along with the humidified air. Gotta say, I'm a little concerned, but also tired of zapping myself with static electricity every time I move.

October 15, 2018
I bought this humidifier a couple of weeks ago and it works perfectly. My upstairs bedrooms get really dry in cooler weather causing sore throat and dryness. This solved the problem, we now wake up refreshed and the air quality is great. I run it on low so it is fairly quiet. I love that it holds 6 gallons of water, reduces refill time. I have a tri level so I would not say the unit actually cover 2700 sq ft, maybe in a ranch style house. However I am totally satisfied with the performance and would highly recommend it.
