CLOUDFORGE T7, Smart Plant Humidifier, 15L with Auto-Fill Valve

This review is for the AC Infinity CLOUDFORGE T7 Plant Humidifier for Grow Tents, 15L, VPD Humidity Controls, 10-Level Precision Vaporizer, Extendable Hose, Targeting Pipe, No-Leak Seal I am so excited to write this review. Almost as excited as when a saw this humidifier work for the first time. I have a 10ft x 10ft greenhouse. It is very important that during the winter I keep it at a temp between 65 degrees - 70 degrees F It requires two milkhouse heaters to maintain that temp differential. As the weather gets colder, they run more. As they run, they dry out the greenhouse. My previous humidifier was an evaporation version. It worked really hard to keep up with the heaters. Then I found this humidifier. WOW! This humidifier works much better than five of the other one. In the description its name is CLOUD FORCE. That is exactly what you get. It comes with several different attachments, but the one I use sends the water vapors up about 2ft above the humidifier and then has a 5 hole distributor on top to send the water vapor in 5 different directions. When it is going full blast, it creates a cloud of vapor in my greenhouse where visibility is almost zero. I have the controls set at full blast because I have it plugged into my greenhouse humidistat that monitors the humidity and turns the humidifier on and off as needed. I am so happy the humidifier remembers its settings even when its power is cut off. As I said earlier, my old humidifier had to struggle getting the humidity to an acceptable level. This new one can change the humidity in the greenhouse from 20% to 80% in a matter of minutes. I have a monitor in the room that graphs temp and humidity as well as other parameters. The humidity graph when I turn on the humidifier has a very sharp vertical spike as the humidity raises. Then when it is on auto mode with my humidistat, I get a zigzag pattern as the unit is turned off and on the maintain humidity between 65% and 70%. As long as I can keep it filled with water, the humidifier has no problem maintaining the humidity levels. I am using distilled water to run the device because it cuts down on deposits from the water. This device can pump out 4 gallons of water easily in a day. I was going to go broke buying distilled water, so I bought a distiller to make my own. That is working out great. When the device runs out of water, it turns off the vapor making and just flashes the screen to let you know it needs to be filled. The other day I heard a noise which sounded like it came from the bottom of the humidifier. I could not be sure if it was the humidifier or one of the heaters. It sounded like a bad bearing in a fan motor like older computers make when their fan is going out. I immediately contacted AC Infinity to report a possible problem with the device. They responded the next day with an offer to replace the unit. I told them that I wanted to research whether the problem was with their device or my heater. The problem is that testing each device has not demonstrated the problem again. So, I can't yet tell which one it is. They told me to keep monitoring the problem and if it occurred again and it is the unit, they would replace it. That is exceptional customer service. I said I was excited to write this review because this is truly an amazing device and customer service is great. What more could you ask for. I can will try to post some pictures, but will depend on how well my phone cooperates with the Amazon review feature. I will try to show the humidifier creating its cloud and also the graph of how steady this humidifier functions when it has water. The spikes that go down quickly are where the humidifier runs out of water. I easily give this device and the company 5 stars. UPDATE: I have now used this humidifier heavily for over a year and it is an amazing device. It is doing a great job at keeping my plants very happy in my greenhouse. It puts out about three gallons of water a day on very cold days. That is because on cold days my heaters have to work harder and they dry out the air. The humidifier keeps the humidity up in the 70% range working to combat the drying effect of two space heaters. I had to buy a water distiller to keep up with the demand for distilled water, but by only using distilled water, I am not getting a buildup of calcium in the device and I have not had to clean the filter in the humidifier. This is a very quality product. I could not be more pleased.

I am an unapologetic fan of AC Infinity. I am a consulting engineer and am always looking for custom solutions to manage the cooling needs of high end audio and media center applications, home cooling environments and plant growth systems. AC Infinity is my go-to proprietary source. They also have a line of HVAC ductwork booster fans that are incredible, and controllable, and fantastic humidifiers. Oh yeah, they also are in my opinion the top aggregator and manufacturer of indoor growing systems for high value planting cultures. They make everything! From growth enclosures, to humidifiers, to grow lights—the whole deal. I have bought dozens of pieces of their equipment. I have a booster fan for a radiant baseboard convection heater that has been running nonstop for five years and transforms a primitive condominium heating control system into something special. The Cloudforge 17 I’m reviewing here is easily fillable and controllable by my smartphone. I have two in my small 800 square foot Chicago condo (one in the living room, another in the bedroom) and can easily maintain 50 percent humidity even in the coldest weather, with only 1-2 refills per day. I use untreated tap water, so periodically I wipe the electrostatic surfaces clean. I now have a full season very successful use. I have a lot of expensive plants (non medicinal) that relay on AC Infinity, and that company delivers. BTW, I am not compensated for my reviews of AC Infinity.

If you are serious about VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) management, this is the unit to get. Integrating it with my Controller 69 was seamless, allowing for automated adjustments that keep my environment dialed in perfectly. The 15L tank is a massive upgrade over smaller units, significantly reducing how often I have to refill it during the flowering stage. The build quality is top-tier, and the hose extension makes it easy to keep the electronics outside the tent while pumping moisture exactly where it's needed. It's an investment, but the consistency it provides for my plants is worth every penny.

I bought the T7 humidifier because I bought an AC Infinity controller and light, when I unboxed it I was very disappointed in the actual construction of this, it is very very thin plastic and I had a bad feeling about it from the beginning it did not take very long to continue to disappoint me, as soon as I had it set up with using RO water it was not working with the AC Infinity controller so I ran it without using it thru the controller within a minute or two of using it the fan motor that blows the vapor was starting to make a loud noise that to me sounded like a motor shaft that was spinning and chattering like it was having trouble getting the fan blower wheel to spin and move the vapor within a minute or two vapor was coming out everywhere except the hose. I thought it was smoke from heat or something malfunctioning with the unit so I quickly unplugged it and checked every thing, after finding nothing that was a miss about it I plugged it back in and tried it again the same thing happened again so I gave it a minute or so to keep struggling to correct itself after 10 minutes or so it quieted down from its shaft chattering loud noise and started to move vapor thru the hose it worked fine for the remainder of that tank of water, I turned the unit off and refilled the tank again with RO water and again the loud shaft noise started all over again trying to get it to blow the vapor out the hose which by the way was only 2 ft. Long and on an uphill angle just like the instructions say to install it but this time it did not stop so after unplugging the unit and making sure that there was nothing preventing it from getting air thru the air intake on the side I plugged it back in and tried it yet again and the noise just continued to get worse so after a few minutes longer I realized I was dealing with a complete pc of junk that did not work from the start and after realizing I wasted my money and had nothing to loose I decide to try and MAYBE help the blower wheel get started moving the vapor again I took my shop compressed air and gently blew air in thru the air intake on the side of the unit while it was unplugged and you could hear the blower wheel spin so I plugged it back in and tried it again and again it chattered like the motor shaft was just spinning inside the blower wheel and was slipping and not moving the blower wheel. After all that I knew I was wasting my time with this thinly constructed light weight pc. of junk and decided to carefully unplug it from the wall and remove all the water from the tank and carefully remove it from the bldg that I grow in and took it out to the trash dumpster and just thru the whole thing in the dumpster. Bottom line is that AC Infinity should be much more focused on building a good quality pc. of equipment that you can rely on and not a very thinly built pc. of junk that does not work from the minute it leaves their factory in China. I give this Cloudforge T7 humidifier a 0 out of 10 and would give it even less it were even possible. Do not waste your money or your time! AC Infinity should be completely ashamed of this unit and should not be selling it to the public. They are just destroying their reputation with junk like this. PS Amazons review would not let me post this without giving a star rating so I gave it a 1 star rating that it does not deserve.

Love this! First bought the Vivosun comparable because it help a little more water. Returned it because it ran half the time. Replaced with this one and it hasn't given me any troubles yet. If I could justify it, it would swap my current 5x5 tent with the AC Infinity 5x5 today. I run a many AC Infinity products and they are all worth the money. Can't say that about many of their competitors. The top filling ability is nice, quickly will adjust humidity, sleek looking, easy to clean, and quiet. Next purchase is the Terraform.

This humidifier specifically for plants is so much better than the last Humidifier that was simply a room humidifier. I love how I can get the humidity where the plant can benefit from it most with the tubing and pipe attachments. My plants are not in a greenhouse which traps in humidity I don't use the wifi option. I just adjust the amount of humidity on the panel manually with the up and down arrows soon's I found that feature. The other setting are way to fancy fer my needs so I can't comment on them. Usually I have it set to 3 to 4 during the day and 1 after the grow light turn off. It usually requires water added every day or two but that's no different than what I'm used to. It shut off one time when I accidentally let it run out of water. I was so pleased when it started back up quietly. The last Humidifier would make horrible noise fer quiet a while when it ran out of water and fer quite some time after refilling. It isn't quiet but it's not obnoxious either, just more white noise. Adding water is a bit obnoxious tho. The place to fill is in the back but the control panel is in the front. Would have been a better design to have the fill opening on the front or at least on the side. I can't turn the humidifier around so need a bit of careful pouring to get the water in without spilling. Not a deal breaker but an inconvenience. Can't comment on longevity as it's only been in use fer about a month.

Overall I like this humidifier a lot. Having it integrate with the rest of AC Infinity's ecosystem makes it easy to dial in the environment for your space. The tank is large enough that I only have to refill this unit every couple of days, even for a 5x5 tent in the desert. That said, there are some weaknesses to this device too: 1. It's finnicky to fill--the fill port is a thin, flat rectangular hole in the top of the unit. If you're trying to fill it with a watering can, it's easy to miss the hole and spill water everywhere. I wish there were a way to connect this to a water line with a float valve so that it would keep itself full instead. 2. There are no alerts when it's out of water. The device will just stop working but the AC Infinity app doesn't do anything to tell you that's happened. 3. I wish the cable to connect it to the controller were longer. I had to put my controller in a different place than I wanted to to get the cable to reach. 4. It provides a huge blast of humidity fog, but it all comes out of the end of a 2" hose and needs to be shot into the top of your tent--this is right where your light and power strip/electronics tend to be in most grows, which makes it kind of difficult to find a good place to aim the humidity to avoid having it get things too wet where it's blowing out.

This is the best humidifier I've ever owned, and I've had many humidifiers over the decades, most were garbage, Honeywell has made several good ones, but this is much better. I use this for a grow tent, and honestly its overkill for a 6'x10' tent. I got it mostly for the large water tank capacity, but it puts out a lot of mist really fast. If I didn't use it for the tent, I could definitely humidify most of my house with it. PRO's: - No filters to get moldy - no fan motor to get noisy or wear out - Easy to clean - Large volume of mist output and large water tank capacity - Remote controllable with phone app when attached to an AC Infinity controller - Easy to refill CON's: - Price, its expensive - not able to add essential oils - Must use distilled or reverse osmosis water

Produce mucho vapor normalmente lo tengo en nivel 1 y mas que suficiente incluso a ratos lo debo de apagar. y si lo manejas con el modulo todos los ajustes quedan desde mi celular. Muy recomendable.

Für mich der beste Luftbefeuchter, egal ob für Grow oder Wohnraum. 👍👌

Funciona de maravilla y conectado al ac infinity 69 pro es mejor todavía...silencioso y buen caudal . 10/10... ****Actualización !!!*** Tan solo un mes funcionando conectado al controller 69 pro y ha empezado a hacer un ruido horrible y a fugar el vapor de agua por la rejilla del filtro ademas de perder agua y cerca de la instalación eléctrica...mis plantas estan sufriendo por esto , no esta emitiendo la nebulacización por el conducto si no por la base, ni se ha movido, ni he superado el nivel de agua indicado como he leido en muchos comentarios en diferentes plataformas...es un fallo que se repite en muchos usuarios. Muy decepcionado, voy a contactar con Amazon a la espera de una solución. Por el momento mis plantas no estan recibiendo la humedad que necesitan.

I thought this was a great unit until I noticed it was making a very loud and annoying chirping/squeaking sound whenever it wasn't misting. I emailed support and was told its normal, which is very strange as its unbearably annoying to be near and sounds like an alarm or something. I cant recommend this product if you plan to spend any amount of time near it. Also had a T3 that stopped working after a couple of months then bought a new one and that didnt work either so then bought the T7 and have the noise issue. Poor products

Worked fine for about 6 months then died. Not worth the price tag at all
