AIRCARE HD1409 Digital Whole-House Console-Style Evaporative Humidifier, Brushed Nickel

Overall a great buy and works to maintain the humidity in a 2000+ sq ft apartment. Pros: 1) Looks good 2) Easy to add water with the removable tanks 3) Digital controls easy to understand and they work 4) Fan at low is quiet 5) Easy assembly and operating instrucitons 6) Filters are included and remove the 'white dust' that other vapour humidifiers create. Cons 1) Delicate construction. (had to return the first one since it arrived broken, replacement was fine) 2) Fan noisy on High, when I fist installed and set at 'Auto' for fan speed it ran for half a day on high speed. Since then it has cycled on low to maintain humidity. So not an issue. Plus you can override and permanently set the fan speed. Overall a good purchase!

On the medium fan setting, this humidifier, with brand new wicks, will empty both tanks overnight. You don't need to use the high setting. We have a larger home with a heat-pump/thermopump (which can't therefore use a standard humidifier due to the air temperature being lower). We ended up buying two of these (started with one for the main floor, then added one more for the basement), and that sufficed for over 4,000 square feet (even after the wicks were no longer new). They run pretty much continuously, but on medium they are quiet (and they automatically stop when the reservoir is dry). Great product.

has 4 fan options F1 it's a silent one F2 a bit noisier F3 loud Auto - it depends of the humidity in your pale and how much humidity u want. It's louder until reaches the % of humidity u want 1 stars because humidifier had option to go up to 65% and the one I had purchased doesn't go higher than 45-47% after working all day. and for the last 3 weeks doesn't go more than 20 ...and today April06/18 Bottle Caps are melted u cant find them in Canada only on ebay overpriced on aircare website bottle caps are 1 for US$2.99 and they will not ship to Canada on ebay.ca 2 for $14.86 CAD + $27.15 shipping +$7 importing charges. had contacted essickair and got no help from them. overpriced garage

First off, the seller is awesome! We had an issue when we got this humidifier, and they were soooooo fast to respond and solve the problem! We heat by wood (only) ... we were constantly “zapping” each other or our dogs because if the dryness in our house. This humidifier has made a huge difference to BOTH floors of our house. The dual tanks are easy to fill, and last us about 24 hours. We’ve put it in a central spot, and it works well! The only complaint is that the amount of cool air it creates actually lowers our heat noticeably. Other than that, it’s a great purchase, not huge, but definitely a “floor model” We are extremely happy with it!

I am a musician and have quite a collection of guitars, new and vintage. I recently moved from the very humid Atlanta GA to the desert of West Texas, and my guitars suffered.... Especially in the winter when the heater runs consistently and removes what little humidity we have... Musicians can relate, but the necks on my guitars began to shrink, fret edges began to get sharp, and the acoustic guitars just did not sound as good as they once did. To overcome this extreme dryness I purchased this humidifier to run in my studio, and it does a wonderful job! Yes, it runs constantly, and it is pretty loud, but it keeps my studio a perfect 50% humidity now, which is perfect for my guitars. I simply turn it off when I am working in my studio to eliminate the noise. This being said, I am not sure if I could handle the noise if it were in my house though.... Long story short, this is a great unit, and works as advertised, just know what application you are buying it for and make sure that the relatively high ambient noise that is generated by the unit will be acceptable for you in your application. For me it works perfectly.
