Does this model serve as a humidifier?

I have set it next to my head in bed when sick....I am sure it raises the humidity in a room. I LOVE my aromatherapy unit!!

It acts more like a nubulizer (breaks up the oil molecules). It's cool steam. Mine recently stopped working right. I think it worked great for about a year, then the fan stopped working.

I would not use it as a humidifier. While it does put a small amount of water into the air, the real purpose is to diffuse essential oils. We live in Utah (a high mountain desert) and in the winter use a humidifier as well as our diffuser. If your intent is to add moisture to the air, I would get a humidifier. However, some people will use the humidifier and place Vicks in the reservoir to help with breathing. If that's your intent, then this diffuser and essential oils will work much, much, much better.

I agree with Stuart Uggen's answer. My humidifier is made with a little place for the Pro Tec unit in the water tank, and it works well with my water supply.

It's not as strong as a humidifier but works in a similar fashion. I have both.

I do not use the humidifier only the heater. works well in smaller room, Runs all day in large area. It would take forever to heat a large space with this unit. I do like it for smaller areas.

Yes. It is a cool mist humidifier using a water reservoir and a fan to force moisture laden air into the room. Note, however, that my unit failed at the start of the second season. Fortunately, it was less than a year since I purchased it, and by simply mailing in the electrical cord, they replaced the entire unit. Customer service was outstanding. I just hope the fan motor is its Achilles' heel.

I don't have answer for this question. But I should let you know that this one was broken within two months. Then I had to buy another humidifier.

No, it's an evaporative. You won't see the vapors like with a mist humidifier.

No. It isn't a vaporizer or humidifyer. It doesn't heat up or steam. Air comes out. You cant see it but you should be able to feel a light cool breeze coming out of the vents.

This humidifier have to sit on a flat surfice due to it's method of producing the steam. Please make sure to put it on the flat surfice. If you have any further question, please contact to support@elliotdepot.com Thanks.

No. This unit only has 1 output. It can be used to either control humidification OR dehumidification. As said in other answers, you would need 2 units.

Now I am getting a little confused myself. I found out that there are other FPA models that provide a humidifier function too... Sorry, not much help.

I didn't find one---I did not like this humidifier--I would email the maker to answer this question.

I haven't tried it. My humidifier stopped working quickly because the sensors never detected it had water, I don't think distilled water would have helped that.

It sounds like you have one of these already. Since the humidifier works by sending evaporated water molecules through the apparatus and out the spout, if you pour water in through the spout, it will eventually get inside the container/reservoir -- but you risk making a big mess with the water. Sounds about as intelligent as choosing to enter your car through the window.

I have never used the humidifier option. I can tell you, its the very best heater I have ever owned.
