The LP1014WNR *DOES NOT* appear to have auto-evaporation (LP1013WNR DOES appear to have it). Can someone confirm this one way or the other?

I think it does have the auto evap function. On the panel of buttons you can select dry. Where I live it's not humid so I've never used that function and I've never had any water leakage.

Mine dripped once in awhile also, but I found if I pulled the handle to completely off it would stop. It rarely does it now, other than that I don't know.

It does the same for me as well. Since I use it nearly daily it isn't as much of a problem for me. I find that I have to fill it weekly to get consistent fire. I'm sure the environment you store it in will effect the evaporation as well, I'm currently experimenting with this as I store both my Zippos and my misc pipe/cigar tools in a small sealed kitchen jar my wife donated to the cause. So far good results.

From what I am understanding from Eva dry, after the target humidity of 55/60% has been reached, on the auto setting, only the fan runs to sample the air, until the humidity increases, then the machine changes to high speed. However with that said, it still looks like it still uses those 330 watts, I just started mine this morning also, if I'm reading the manual right, the whole machine shuts down after 10 hours even if the timer isn't set. I like the build of the unit, and the colection bucket is sturdy as well. Time will tel just how good it is also it started catching water about 20 minutes after starting the machine. I hope this has helped you, in your decision. Take care, and have an awesome spring and summer ahead.

Thank you for this answer. I thought I had a defective unit. How is this not talked about in the manual? Anyway, thanks again.

Not at all. It self evaps the condensation on it's own just fine. The only time you need to drain it is if you stop using it for more than a few days.

You have to leave the unit running. When the evap. Is heated enough then the evap fan will start blowing hot air. Wait for this to happen

I've only tried it once so far but I used 14 drops and it is working perfect. You can probably try a few less drops, and see how it works then add more if needed.

This model does not have a self timer. With the variability in drying time I think it would be an unused feature.

Since it was a gift, and I only received the difusser I don't have the instructions manual either. I've only noticed the mist will get lower as the water decrease. Try turning it on and off a few times. Maybe you can contact the company and have them send you one.

I have one I bought on Amazon, but it doesn't have a brand name on it. I found it by reading the reviews and this one had a review that said he bought it because it didn't have auto shutoff. I searched my old orders and didn't find it, so all I can suggest is read all the reviews.

It seems to evaporate after a few hours and the lens is dry. It does not leave a detectable shell. To tell you the truth, after using this for 2 years, it is not preventing re-yellowing of my repolished plastic lenses on my BMW or VW. I am not sure if it does anything. To give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe it slows the yellowing process, but it sure doesn't prevent it.

Same here. I bought this yesterday, filled with tap water as high as the MAX water line, put some salt before going to bed. It never actually vaporized, even though I added salt again. This morning I added even more salt, and I got neither steam nor sputtering.I think it's been about 4 big fat pinches of (Redmond Real Salt) salt so far... I'm afraid of adding more in case it damages the vaporizer.Ugh, I'm so tired, I keep waking up at night with a stuffed dry bloody nose.

The condensation evaporates through the exhaust hose. It does have a water collection bin for excess water that does not evaporate, however that bin has never even been remotely wet at all on my unit. I think it will shut off should the bin get full.

Ive never had it on for more than a few hours, but I do know once the bottle has reached the desired temp, the digital screen reads cheers! No self shut off. It may maintain the temp for some days

Sonya P., I'm sorry and I'm not being flip, but I don't have a clue. I can't think of any way that water particles large enough to "spit" could form or even get to the impeller blades where they could be expelled into the room as "spit". I've had two of these humidifiers and have been pleasantly surprised that they have been so dry. They don't even produce a visible mist that could moisten the tiles around their base. It has taken only the simplest care to avoid even drips getting the tank to the kitchen and back for filling. Are you sure you have the Tank Cap, Filter, and Tray (names per figure on page three of instruction manual) installed properly? Sonya P., I'm sorry and I'm not being flip, but I don't have a clue.

I use a timer since I don't want to water continuously. If you prefer, you could manually turn it off and on. With the ability to have a small amount of drip hose, you could leave it on and check at first to see if it was overwatering.
