My old humidifier turned off the heat when the water ran out... I gather this does not? That rather scares me.

That's because you can not run it without water and it automatically shuts off when the water runs out. That's a great safety feature

This turns itself off when the water runs out so it doesn't run the heating element when there is no water to evaporate. This is a good thing. Nothing to be worried about. I find that a full tank of water lasts one whole night on the high setting (avg. 8 to 9 hrs.) and on the low setting will use only about 2/3 of the tank. You might try the low setting if it really bothers you that it turns itself off. Hope this helps!

It will shut off when water runs all the way out. If yours does not shut off you may have a problem.

this one turns the heating element real low, where it is just warm to the touch. The dial is green when there is enough water and will turn red when it is low/out.

The humidifier only runs when the furnace fan is running during the heating cycle. During the central air cooling cycle, the water supply to the humidifier needs to be shut off and bypass air damper closed as there is no need for humidification in this cycle. However the electrical connections were done by the contractor and am not aware of these details.

I think if you turn the heat all the way down it doesn't blow any air at all, and the air blowing across the water is the humidifier.

Just my assessment from here...Make sure reservoir is full, inserted onto unit, turn on with remote, and double check the humidity setting. If the setting is too low, it will not come on. Humidity setting should be set at higher level than the humidity level in the room. Just my 2 cents.

The humidify auto on/off doesn't work. Might just be my unit. I like the unit because it is quiet and has 2 speeds. It was suppose to be 35% humidity on this unit.

Yes, all humidifiers blow hot air. Unfortunately, that is how they work. We have had to decide if we wanted less humidity or less heat. We vary the use depending on the season. I hope this is helpful.

De-humidifiers put out a lot of heat. If it's a small room it will heat up.

From the owner manual: "You should only add water treatments that are specifically made...Using water treatments that are not recommended could damage the humidifier". Personally, I suspect oil would gunk up the works.

I don't know, but here are some things to think about-- the machine will shut off if it thinks it's out of water. I've had this happen when I've not used it for awhile. We just persisted in reseating it and it finally started. Also, if it has reached the humidity level setting it will stop emitting ( but should not turn off).

Unfortunately, while this is a decent humidifier, what you mentioned is an annoying problem with it. I have bought two and have the same problem.

I have no idea what your problem could be as I am on my second one and have not had any problems with it making my night stand wet. It does make my hair and my covers a little wet because I like to have it very close to my face so that is to be expected. Other than that, I have had absolutely no problems with this humidifer. Perhaps it needs to be replaced.

My humidifier has none of those problems, so you must have a defective unit. The only drawback I've experienced is when I fill the tank and put it back in the unit, and the bottom of the tank snags on the filter. I have to help the tank get into place past the filter, but everything works fine after that.

No, you need to replace the pad only. Also you should check the pad at the beginning of the heating season. If you have a lot of minerals in your water the pad will clog with the mineral deposits and reduce the efficiency of the humidifier.

The only thing you can do is keep it clean with the cleaner they sell. Outside of that, if it quits misting, there's usually not much you can do or replace yourself! Kinda sucks because I know they fail for no good reason, but it's my favorite humidifier when it works! You may try reseating the water container into the base unit and or jarring it a little bit to see if something is stuck. I wouldn't attempt to dis-assemble it. Messing with water and electricity is dangerous.

I have a gauge that detects humidity in the house and it changes when I run the humidifier, plus there is less static electricity in the air. No vapor because it's cold air. No condensation because it has an automatic shut off feature when it reaches the level of humidity that you preset.

Where is the humidifier located? Is it in a location with humidity from a washer? It may be the gasket. Make sure it's not crimped or damaged. They are inexpensive to replace.

Yes once the humidty level is reached the unit shuts off I empty the container push it back in & the unit starts up automaticly ......... I'm very happy with my humidfier
