I really need a good humidifier because it's been extremely dry. The aroma is not a big deal for me. Did this unity really help with add moisture?

This should not be considered a humidifier. It's main purpose is a diffuser for essential oils and it does that very well.

I love this for adding scents into the air. Sorry but, no, I would not use this to add humidity. It uses a small, maybe 2 oz of water and runs about an hour. I would use another appliance if I needed humidity.

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.

Sorry, I can't help--both my humidifiers went dead in the past few months. (Call Hunter, they are good about honoring their warranties.)

This model humidifies via a saturated filter - you won't see any vapor as you would from an ultrasonic mechanism. Ultrasonics work well but are IMHO a real pain to maintain. This works well also and you just need to change the filters periodically. Two hours is usually not nearly long enough to detect a humidity increase. If your home has been very dry, 12 hours at least.

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

Not a problem. Happy to help :) I do absolutely love this humidifier tho. Must buy.

The heater and the humidifier are competing with each other. The humidifier does put a lot of moisture into the room but if the heater is drying the atmosphere more than the humidifier is moistening it, you will not feel the full benefit of the humidifier. In a small room you will have a better chance to feel the benefit of the humidifier.

No. The instructions states that you will not see any vapor for this humidifier. As long as the water continues to go down, it should be working.

For musty odors there is too much moistures. Adding more moisture wouldn't help. Look for de-humidifier

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!

No answer for this but I love this and use it every day. The Fragance is perfect! It is oily and using it in a humidifer might not be good.

I did. However, it destroyed my humidifier. So my recommendation would be to follow the manufacturer's instructions on adding stuff to the water in your humidifier if you can at all.

We've had ours for a few weeks, the best it's done is 36%, but it's really dry here and the temp has hovered between -5 and 20 degrees. Without this humidifier we were only between 12 and 18%, so it's a big improvement! We don't run it on high though,, go between med and low.

If you're getting a musty smell, you don't have enough dehumidifying going on. This device works fine by itself keeping my safe dry, but I live in a low humidity area, have central AC which does it's own job keeping moisture in my house low, and I'm not constantly going in and out of my safe. Low humidity is something you can totally go "belt and suspenders" on. Get this, get a glow road, get a rechargeable dehumidifier from eva-dry... you will never make it too dry. To sum up, if you're getting a musty smell, you're not dry enough.

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.

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.

I don't think of it as a humidifier, but it does put a continuous small amount of moisture into the air.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!
