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

thats one of the things i was upset about it advertised having the humidifier but there is not one basically its just a heater and really didn't do a very good job at heating my march electric bill was 777.27 when it normally runs around 160.00 so it pulls a lot of wattage i bought a lasko heater from walmart for 70.00 does a much better job hope this helps

No humidifier on this unit, high electric bill, very little if any fuel oil savings. Works well as a supplement room heater.

this is a completely wrong choice. I bought it and I had to return it to the seller.. stay away from thisI ended up buying Lasko

The humidifier ingests warm water and heats it up to inject into the HVAC system. I'm just a DIY'er but my guess would be either:1) very high humidity in the space with the humidifier;2) cool/cold temp. in the space with the humidifier;3) steam leaking from the humidifier and condensing on the case.

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 use it instead of the little round one that came with it. I like the drymistat humidifier a lot, because I can tell at a glance when it needs more water. I just use plain tap water in it.

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.

It humidifies by running water down a mesh filter while air is being blown through the filter and some of the water evaporates. Any water that doesn't evaporate collects at the bottom and drains away. And yes you end up wasting a lot of water.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

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.

Sorry, but I haven't tried the humidifier yet. Heater capacity in a larger room is disappointing

If your looking to humidify more than a single room, I would recommend using large humidifier. They hold more water and are designed to run much longer. This item is a steam vaporizer.

No- this unit doesn't put out a ton of moisture- you are only filling it with appx 1/4 cup water, and it never steams all of it out. I would recommend a regular humidifier for what you need.

There isn't a place to put essential oils in this humidifier. I don't think it would be a good idea to add it directly into the water reservoir as it might collect on what ever mechanical device turns the water to a mist The owner manual does not mention the use of essential oils. The phone number for service is 866/737-6590 if this isn't the correct number to address your question perhaps they can direct you to the correct phone number. I've been using the humidifier for almost a year and it is easy to fill, easy to adjust the amount of mist and is very attractive.

Add water. Shake it up. I've only done it once. I have a disc humidifier now.

I have used this model for several years. They work incredibly well. I run 2 at a time. I have never experrienced a leak caused by the humidifier. Its always user error. Unless it arrived with a crack in the housing, it was probably user error. Have a look at the bottom of the unit.

I would say that your unit is defective, yes. I used my humidifier all last winter in my office, and never had this problem.

I'm asking myself the same question. Anyone know? What are its humidification features&gt;
