Don't expect to fill it with tap water. It requires distilled water, although is not specified on the description. The owners manual does mention it.
It's great that Vornado still makes this same design/model of humidifier that they did 20 years ago. I used this for many years when I lived in the mid-Atlantic and midwest. It has a good capacity and circulates the moisture well. It does take a bit of cleaning and maintenance, but I found it to be worthwhile to make the winter dry air more comfortable.
The control that automatically cycles the unit on/off based on the ambient humidity isn't that precise, so you have to mess around with it until you find the right setting. It's helpful to have one or more humidity gauges in the home to keep an eye on things.
1 of my 3 units developed a fine crack/leak after about 12 years of annual use and several moves.
If it wasn't that I moved to the humid south, I would definitely buy one of these again.
The only problem I have is that it is a little awkward to load the water containers into the main body of the humidifier.
This product works well during the time the heat is not running.I have it in a less than 1000sq Ft room and per my hygrometer,the humidity goes into the low 20's from 50 overnight when the heat is turned on. I have everything on high. I would consider buying another for the room but think that it could be the product since this room size with normal ceiling height should be handled by this humidifier. This room is @400 square feet. The humidifier works fine with the air conditioning.
This has helped me with my allergy symptoms. I have a large bedroom and it works great to create moisture in the air. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick!
