I have a 2600 sqft home built in 1989, and am considering getting the Aprilaire 500 vs the 600. Is that a wise choice?

Works quite well in my 2300 sf house. Was built in '92 so not too old but still not as sealed up tight like recent construction. From what I have observed, the humidifier doesn't run all the time and humidity levels have stayed constant even with fluctuating outside temps.

And ny the way the difference between the 500 and 600 was so insignificant that the 500 was chosen.

My home build in 1995, fairly tight construction and well insulated. ,my previous whole house was drum type humidifier that had constant standing water and did not really do a good job of regulating the humidity. very happy with the Aprilaire unit. has been installed for a month and the condensation on the windows is gone, more comfortable in the house now. The unit only uses water when the controller calls for humidity and with the outdoor sensor this seems to regulate the humidity even more. Pretty much hands off with this unit after the first week of adjusting the humidity controller to my liking. I live in Michigan and the winter this year very cold. Very pleased with this unit and if it ever fails will purchase the same type to replace

Yes, it works very well in my house. I only had a small space in the furnace to install the unit. It fit well and works very well.

No my packaging lists a number of aprilaire models it will work for but model 600 is NOT one of them.

It sounds OK and you are protected by Amazon return policy, nevertheless I had a similar question and I called the aprilaire 1 800 # that I got from their web page. They were terrific and confirmed that it would fit my 20y/o unit.

I'm not sure. In my case I already had an Aprilaire unit so I just replaced the humidification unit and re-hooked up the controls. I wouldn't worry about the warranty. You'd spend more getting them to handle claim than just buying another.

S Qi is correct. According to the product specs it says 150ft^2. My experience with this model has been, keep the unit close to where your problem area is. For us, we smoke and the unit is kept neat that area. It doesn't clean air through the walls so if you're wondering if you should get the bigger model than this, think about the open space you'll use this. I think the 150 is perfect but I'm not in a big house. I would opt for 2 150 models over a 300 for maximum effectiveness (one in the finished basement one in the bedroom. It's light and easy to move around rooms.

Yes, I noticed that as well. There are a few other differences that I personally noticed- cord length- hose length- floor surface settings- one looks better than the otherI ended up going with the 3920 just because it was what was available, plus because of what the cust serv rep told me. But I'm not sure it was worth the extra $20-$30 that I paid.I ended up going with the 3920

I have read the posts for 2009 and they were more than sufficient to disuade me from buying this new upgrade, or is it downgrade. I have been using 2008 Home and Business since it came out, and would recommend it.

I would definitely go with the 900. The dryer is not very effective and I have not used the deodorizer. Otherwise it's great.

I actually purchased both models,but I do prefer the 09165. I find it easier to maneuver and I have more control.

If you Google "Aprilaire 600 you will has access to the manual and installation instructions. There are also installation videos on UTube within the listing on Google. Hope that helps. The Aprilaire 600 works for me.

I have used it successfully on about 500 sq. ft. Might do more depending on how hot the weather.

$964? I paid $500 for it. Almost a year ago. BTW...I'm a professional remodeler and I've not taken my big 10" SCMS out of storage yet because this is so good, but I'd be hard pressed to pay almost $1000 for it.

The 450 is the latest unit and it is easier to clean and also vacuums when cleaning. By what I have read about the 390 they have issues with leaving water and cleaning them out. the 450 so far has been brilliant. It cleans the floor so well it shines. So far I am very impressed with 450. Hope it helps.

Absolutely. The 8060STs are GIANT ...Really too big for the room. You will be psyched with the 8040STs and save a lit of money in the process!

You will get many different answers. Read the reviews and decide on your own. I call it just right and wished they had it 10 yrs ago

I am not 100% certain; so I would rather encourage you to ask a Honeywell or Aprilaire rep. Thanks.

I love my 800's. It all depends on the size of the room you're trying to fill.
