This unit has 3 levels of operating. If it is on the highest setting, it better be at least 10' off the floor or it will soak the floor. I have a 2 bedroom condo and I keep ours on low. It is on top of a bookshelf(5' up) and the misting is no problem. On the medium setting our floor will stay dry also. But on high, oh boy. It puts out a ton of misting on high. Also, on low it will go approx. 36 hours. On medium it will last approx. 18-20 hours. We never have left ours on high for any length of time so not sure how long it would last but would assume approx 10-12 hours at best. Hope this may help. LRE This unit has 3 levels of operating.

It doesn't work that way. I have already put my away for the season but as I recall, you have a low medium and high setting. Sure to put towels or papers around floor if you're going leave it on that high. As I recall, the usual humidity for indoors in the winter is 15 to 20%. Getting it getting at or above 20% is good. 50% is Darn nesr perfect. To get it at or about 50%, you will probably need two or three humidifiers running at full blast. If you're able to get the this high or higher be careful with mold and mildew though this would be unlikely in the winter. Hope this helps. I keep a small hydrometer in my bedroom and the living area to measure the humitidy. It doesn't work that way.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! This will not have an adjustable humidity level. Frigidaire does not give any specifications as to what level it is suppose to maintain. I'm sorry for the lack of information available. If there are any other questions we can help with, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great weekend! -Danielle at Goedeker's

I have had no problems. The set up is simple. Just pick the humidity setting in 5% increments from the top-mounted control panel using the up or down arrow buttons. The lowest setting is 45%.

The 3 drying cycles are 2 hour,4 hour, and 8 hour. I use the 4 hour cycle all year. There is a small slide switch on the inside front of the unit. Set on normal humidity for the 4 hour cycle

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.

Hmmm. Just make sure you have humidity level at 50 or 55, fan on auto. Open windows? A no no. If all that doesn't work, sounds defective.

Getting the humidity right in a humidor can be tricky. If you want to take the glass out, monitor the humidor and if the RH level drops put it back. Having said that, my advice would be if it is consistent at 70 don't change anything.

Set it something below 70% humidity (mold level), 55% is comfortable for me. It'll automatically start once that humidity level is reached (within a few minutes, anyway). I use the humidifier in my basement in the spring and fall (New England) when neither the A/C nor heat are on and humidity is highest. I have a hygrometer on the opposite end of the basement for checking its accuracy. It's fairly accurate, though it always seems to read a higher humidity then the hygrometer. For the start of either season, I let it run continuously for a day or so.

This unit is great for increasing the humidity in a room. Do NOT expect it to cool the room.

When I first installed mine, my humidity was 16%, it took several days and several gallons of water to get it to 30%. I talked to Lasko customer service and since I have lots of hard wood in my home, the device had to play catch up to humidify the house. I ran it on setting 3 for several days before I noticed an increase, but now am getting 30-40% humidity. Be sure to place the humidifier by the cold air return and run your fan on all the time to get the entire house humidified.

My recollection is that there are buttons with a digital readout on top of the humidifier which allows you to set the humidity level or to turn it to run continuously. I set mine for continuous operation. Hope this helps.

You can set it to run anywhere from 1 - 12 hours or continuously. It will cycle when it reaches the humidity % set-point.

I set mine to 50 to 55. Don't know about the timer persay. All I know is that when it reaches what you set for the humidity then the compressor shuts off and eventually the fan.

It really depends on the setting you put it on. This particular humidifier allows you to adjust the humidity level and it regulates itself to keep the rooms humidity consistent with the setting. We have out the humidity at 50% and the rug was damp. I suggest putting a towel in the direction the mist is blowing. Please don't let that deter you from purchasing this humidifier!! This is the only humidifier that we have found that works and works well!!! We absolutely love it!

You only see it a few feet, but with the ceiling fan on, my humidity meter about 15 feet away in another room measured 7% higher humidity after about 6 hours of day use. After the overnight with it off, went back down 6 percent, so to keep the levels up, you might have to run it pretty continuously. That said our house is dry, we run a large fireplace insert. I've heard once you get more humidity in the house for a couple weeks it's easier to maintain, I think the floors walls furniture etc absorb some water over time if they are dry.

Unfortunately the humidity level is not adjustable. I was concerned about that aspect when I purchased this unit but I have been pleased with it despite not being able to choose the humidity level. When the unit is left on "Auto" in the "Clean & Humidify" mode it keeps our medium sized bedroom around 50% (enough to moisturize your sinuses but not too much to cause condensation on windows). If you wanted more humidity you could have it on "medium" or "max" instead of "auto" though I am unsure just how high it would actually get.

You can set the humidity on the control panel but the machine runs no matter how low the humidity goes. You can read on the panel the current humidity in the room. It will lower humidity. It will never turn on and off like a regular dehumidifier.
