Questions and Answers for AIRCARE Designer Series 3.5-Gal. Evaporative Humidifier for 2,400 sq. ft.

A:  Hello, BreM! On the higher fan setting, some liken the sound to a box fan. The decibels levels on this humidifier are 40 on low and 68 on high. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Service Center at 1-800-547-3888, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 to 5:30 CST. Thanks! -Melissa, AIRCARE

A:  I would say on its highest setting about the same noise level as your average window air conditioning unit.

A:  Hi. Thank you for the question. The model EA1201 is a cool mist humidifier. Thanks! - Lisa, Essick Air Products

A:  No it is not

A:  No. It is evaporative. A fan runs to allow moisture into the air.

A:  You can adjust to percentage humidity in 5 degree intervals.

A:  Hi. Thank you for the question. Yes, the EA1201 does allow you to set the humidifier to your desired humidity level. Thank you! - Lisa, Essick Air Products

A:  Yes, you can set the humidity level in increments of 5 percent. The fan can be set at various speeds as well.

A:  Hi, Norma. Yes, the humidifier should work for your setup. Local humidity levels in your area and the physical location of the humidifier can affect coverage. We recommend centrally locating the humidifier in your home to achieve the best reach. Our square footage estimates are based on homes with tight construction. Older homes, or those with poor insulation or cracks, may have a smaller coverage area. I hope this helps. Thanks. - Sydney, Essick Air Products

A:  I bought one of these a couple years ago. Yes, you can use it where you want, however, it is not easy to control the correct humidity. I have switched to smaller units in the house. I have 2785 sq. ft and I use three smaller units that are much more efficient at controlling the correct humidity.

A:  Yes it can, as this unit covers 2,400sqft., and you have 700sqft. If you have only 700sqft or even 1000, you might want to look at something smaller and more convenient as this will save space and money in the long run. If you do have over 1200sqft I would get this unit or something similar to it so you are not having to use power all day as this will get this job done fast in cleaning the air and humidifying it.

A:  Yes.

A:  If you've got a ceiling fan that will help distribute the moisture better. Set it so it pulls air up from the floor if you can and that will easily mix the air but not cool the room if you need it in the winter.

A:  Not very well. I have an open concept and in the dining room (where the unit is kept) the humidity is high, while 30 feet away in the living room the humidity drops 30%.

A:  Placing the humidifier in the most centrally located room in your home (typically the living room) allows the humidity to spread throughout your home. It's water vapor, so it spreads easily. Placing the unit near your intake also helps your cooling/heating system to spread the moisture around. Our square footage estimates are based on homes with tight construction. Older homes, or those with poor insulation or cracks, may have a smaller coverage area. I hope this helps. Thanks. - Sydney, Essick Air Products

A:  Nah...ain't buyin' it. There's no way to "centrally" locate anything in my house. Perhaps if it were a 2400 sf loft without walls that reached the ceiling. Thanks for the attempt though.

A:  4 on the 10 scale with 10 being the best.

A:  Hi, Sam. Thank you for your question. Is there something in particular that you're wondering about with this unit? We'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to give our Customer Service Team a call at 800-547-3888 during office hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 am - 5:30 pm CST)! Thanks! - Sydney, Essick Air Products

A:  It functions good, controls are a little hard to use and the water filler can use a redesign

A:  2 It is very sensitive and shuts off even if it is full. It doesn't allow you to adjust the fan speed.

A:  Hello, Your float is not connecting to the micro-switch that turns the fan on. If you pick the top portion of the humidifier up and place it back down on the base, that should fix the problem. Try to make sure that you place it down as straight as possible and ensure that it is not hung up and any of the corners. If you continue to experience difficulties with your humidifier, our company has very qualified Customer Service Representatives who can assist you with some troubleshooting. Please contact our office at 1(800)547-3888. Office hours are from 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM CST Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 7:30 AM to -12:30 PM CST. - Thank You Christina Essick Air Products

A:  Yes they are hard to adjust, have to run my finger over the area to either make it speed up or over the down are to slow it down
