I've read reviews on other humidifiers about how with the mist their floors/carpets get wet. How wet does the carpet get from this humidifier?

I had mine on last night and I thought I turned it down and carpet was quite damp where the mist was blowing- surprised me

It really depends on the setting you put it on. This particular humidifier allows you to adjust the humidity level and it regulates itself to keep the rooms humidity consistent with the setting. We have out the humidity at 50% and the rug was damp. I suggest putting a towel in the direction the mist is blowing. Please don't let that deter you from purchasing this humidifier!! This is the only humidifier that we have found that works and works well!!! We absolutely love it!

I assume the humidifier in question is the air-o-swiss. Wet .carpet, not at all. Of course I have it sitting fairly high.

Our carpet does not feel wet at all. Not even in front of the humidifier where the water vapor comes from. The ultrasonic humidifier has several settings. You will be able to find one that suits your needs and keeps the carpet dry. I suspect the people having the wet carpet symptom have the unit running full blast when they don't need to. I suggest you experiment with yours by turning it to a low setting for a day and increase the humidity volume until you feel comfortable and your carpet still feels dry.

The only time I've had that problem is when I've turned it too high now I stick with the auto control and it's perfect

Unfortunately it's not a wet vac.It's maybe the only down side. remember 8 yrs of concrete dust and it keeps running .No complaints from me.

No, you should get as big a humidifier as reasonably possible. The "whole house" claim is exaggerated. I live in a 1000 square foot condo and the two units I've tried, including this one, struggle to keep the humidity at 35% on a dry day. That's fine for me, but I wouldn't want anything less. Besides, there's no real down side with a humidifier that's more than you need. It will just humidify your space to the desired level quicker and shut off, requiring less frequent fill-ups. The fan is loud on the higher settings, but you can keep it at low. In fact, I wouldn't even bother with this one. I got a slightly smaller Honeywell Quietcare that was quieter and worked more reliably than this one. No, you should get as big a humidifier as reasonably possible.

I have the same issue, never had any humidifier generate this much condensation. This will not work for us with our hardwood floors & wood furniture. I think because it is a cool mist and not directional it falls quickly and does not dissipate quick enough. It's on its way back.

Not a problem. Happy to help :) I do absolutely love this humidifier tho. Must buy.

I've found this happens with my Bissell as well. What I do is turn down the steam dial. I have it set somewhere in the middle and it seems to help, though it leaves a bit of moisture. Also found that during winter when I've got my whole house humidifier on, I need to turn the steam dial even lower. Another thing I've found is that when the pad is dry it's less likely to leave streaks/wetness. As it gets wetter the issue becomes worse.I've had other steam mops that don't do this so no it's definitely not normal.

We're using the unit in a room that's about 420 SF, but it also has a 10 ft ceiling. I fill the unit up twice a day, about a gallon each time. We've had no problems with dry air symptoms although the humidity ranges from 32-42%. The unit is very quiet, particularly compared to our previous humidifier, and we've seen no white dust. We do use the recommended demineralization cartridge (Kaz DC-51) and the antimicrobial cleaning cartridge (Protec PC-1) to help with keeping the unit clean and because of our hard water.

Eventhough it's not a humidifier, it does put some moister in the air. Honestly I prefer it over humidifier because its much quiter, and the mist finer putting just enough moiter in the air to aliviate dry sinus. I run it for 3 hours in the eve before bed time then reset to and additional 3 when going to bed and it does the trick for us (10x12 room).

The misting plume is adjustable and is very fine so as long as you do not mist directly onto a furniture's surface, there should not be a problem. I did not notice any wetness to floor. This has become my favorite humidifier of all I have owned over the years! We definitely sleep better with this on in the bedroom during winter's sinus drying central heating .

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

The mist spews from the top and is visually apparent for about 2-3 feet. We have a hygrometer in our bedroom to see if it is actually working. The meter goes up 2-10% and quickly after using the humidifier. Our room has to be at least 20x20 (large room). We have had other (digital and with more bells and whistles) humidifiers and they have not seemed to work as well.

Yes, it will vacuum spills, but not completely. The carpet will remain somewhat wet and blotting, with paper of towels will still be necessary.Will take many pass overs if the spill is large. You can see the water being sucked up into the wand head.On tile or other hard surface, should do a fairly good job.

For a small machine the suction is pretty good. I have only used it twice, but the carpet dried quickly so I'm assuming this was due to the machine drying up a lot of the water and shampoo used for cleaning.

There is a light mist that comes from this diffuser but I would not classify it as anywhere near the amount of moisture that you would get from a humidifier.

The Sonic sprays out a fine mist of it's cleaner mixture onto the floor and the pad that you put on the bottom of the machine scrubs the area. The Sonic vibrates the floor. I know it sounds crazy, but the system really works and their cleaning products work also. The floor dries quickly also, even on the carpet. About 2 hrs. and it is done. I hope this helps. This machine doesn't suck the water up like a rug shampooer. It is strictly a scrubber and very low moisture. When you are done you remove the pad and throw it into the washing machine. I let the pads air dry. Duckie

I am looking to buy this product and was looking at reviews and answers to questions before doing so and I agree with another person's answer regarding the question of it turning off by itself.....I have had several different types of humidifiers and it is true that they will shut off on a surface that isn't level, even if sitting on carpet sometimes. If there is the slightest tilt that you may not notice, the humidifier will sense that the tank is empty when it isn't. Just slightly put your hand on top and put a little pressure to one side or the other and see if it comes on.....if it does, then it's not level. This worked for me and then I just made sure that it stayed in that position.

When I rinse mine with water and dry it for 24 hours it has really good suction.... That doesn't sound right. Maybe you could try a new filter to rule that out, but to me it sounds like a problem with something else in the vacuum.
