Could you adjust the humidifier level on this unit? I have read some reviews complaining that it's too dry when using KC-850U and they can't adjust

No you can't. I think the optimal humidity level is already set in the machine. I have used it for over a month now. When it is relatively warm and the heating system does nmt get turned on often, the water in the storage doesn't get used much. When the night is cold and the heat turns on, water gets used up quicker. I am happy with the humidifier; it seems to help with my scratchy throat problem.

No, you can not adjust the humidity level. There is a sensor in the unit that sets the humidity output based on temperature and the amount of humidity already in the air.

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

Yes - I think you may have to step up to a larger unit. My space is a similar size, and now that warmer more humid weather has arrived, the unit is running almost full time to maintain 50% humidity. Although the unit is very quiet compared to other units I have owned, it still may be a bit annoying in certain circumstances (e.g. viewing TV in the area).

It depends on which setting you put it on. I usually have mine on 2 and-although it's noticeable- it's not any worse than a humidifier, or space heater. Even at 3 it's basically the same. I've never had it above 3 so couldn't say about the higher levels.

Our house is 2400sq., one floor. Unfortunately, the control for level of humidity is on the furnace in our "crawl space" and NOT in the house, Therefore, we can never adjust it! Just installed this fall, then we left for our FL house so haven't had the experience. Because of the control location, we would have never purchased it. Amazon site DID NOT explain that!

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

You got yours to work? How'd you do that? Haha I can't get mine to soak up anything. I know it's humid too!

We are very sorry for this inconvenience. We'd like to replace the humidifier with an updated version. Please email support@satechi.com for further assistance. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

Yes, yes. Indeed. I had the same problem as the unit wanted to fill the bucket (then turn off) instead of running out the rear spicket through the hose and run for me non-stop - which was why I bought it in the first place. It works for me now .. I just have to make absolutely sure that 1) the humidifier is sitting level; 2) the hose is always lower than the spicket on the back of the humidifier and 3) there is no relative "rise" in the drain hose. That means water is always running "downhill" from the drain spicket to the floor drain. Taking these deliberate measures solved my problem (now for years). Hope it helps you.

Your only option is to make it tighter. Over time I had to get mine tighter and tighter to prevent it from leaking. After a while I had to use a jar opener to open the tank. Yes, I actually bought a jar opener to be able to use this humidifier. :) Poor design. I have a new humidifier now that is far better than Heaven Fresh.

Sorry, I have no idea. The humidifier only lasted 2 years before it died. Very disappointed considering the price I paid.

I have same exact problem. I finally through it in the trash and purchaseda higher quality humidfer. It was fun while it lasted

My remote doesn't work well either. Hit adn miss as to if the humidifier receives the signal even with direct line of sight. It frequently registers an entirely different humidity than the humidifier, even when set on top of the humidifier for "calibration". I wouldn't bother with the remote - get some exercise, walk over and adjust the fan or shutoff humidity.

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

I too experienced the same thing with this Humidistat, it would switch open (off) when the humidity would fall below the set point and would switch closed (on) when the humidity went above the set point. I found this opposite on how I was expecting the device to function. Has anyone else experienced this?

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.

My humidifier has none of those problems, so you must have a defective unit. The only drawback I've experienced is when I fill the tank and put it back in the unit, and the bottom of the tank snags on the filter. I have to help the tank get into place past the filter, but everything works fine after that.
