I am very dissapointed with this purchase. This product is poorly made. The all plastic parts fit loosely. Refilling this is timely and a hassle. The "convenient" fill tube is only supplied because you can't fit the tank under the faucet. You must stand there holding the non sealing fill tube to the faucet with one hand while holding the tank up with the other for minutes at a time.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have been evaluating this product for three months. I have been questioning its operation but It does do a fine job moisturizing the air. I have determined this unit does not shut off automatically when the tanks are empty. Sometimes an F is shown when one tank is empty but most times not. I have to stop the machine and physically check if water is still in the reservoir.
The fan noise is high.
We borrowed our son's unit to determine if this unit would put humidity in our house and bought one.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We have about an 800 sq foot home and we hardly notice a difference. We still have alot of static and dry throats from the forced hot air, no matter where we position it. We only have 4 rooms and it does not work as indicated. I am considering returning the product to our local Home Depot. It is not worth the money

When I first bought the Humidifier. After I put it together and plug it. I was looking for Hygrometer to find out how much humidity. How can I tell if it has enough humidity in house? Also about bacteriostatic treatment, there is no direction to tell how much liquid to put in water tanks.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this humidifier to use for the whole house and it works great, especially with the colder months here. It is quiet enough that it is not a bothersome background noise. Would recommend this product.

I am glad I spent a little more on this digital model. It is well worth it. It comes with everything you need to fill it with ease and it works as it should. I am really pleased with it. Once in awhile it does not tell you which tank is out of water but if you use common sense, it does the job quite well. It is on the fragile side, but I put in in the hall and it should last. It won't be moved. I highly recommend it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have lived in the mountains for thirty years and always struggled with the dry weather, especially in winter. I finally purchased this whole house humidifier and it works just like it promised. We all feel much better, less itchy, less static, much less dry mouth, lips, throat, and nose. I set mine up in an unnoticeable area in the living room and the only issue I have is the noise level of the fan. You can adjust it from 1 to 9. I run mine at 3 most of the time and drop it to 1 when it says the humidity is around 55%, which seems pretty comfortable. My wife does not mind the fan noise but she likes a little white noise to drown out any outside-the-house sounds. It seems to reach the upstairs rooms from this location so you could probably put it anywhere in the house that is reached by normal circulation from the heating system. As far as quality, it seems to be well built for just a plastic box with plastic lids. The wood grain finish looks good. I really can't tell about the energy efficiency, but the cost of operation shouldn't be much different from a window fan.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have tried many humidifiers in the last few years. I have a pellet stove which puts out a lot of dry air and cracks a lot of our furniture. So far this is doing a lot better than the other ones I have used. I love the selections of the fan speed and the digital read out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It is loud on higer settings. At night I close my bedroom door, where I have a room humidifier, and by morning the rest of the house is well humidified. For the money it is a good value. The filling tanks are easy to use. I am just into the heating season but so far it works well. I will be leaving it on when I go to work as the season progresses.
Yes, I recommend this product.
