Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had a number of humidifiers and this one fairs favorably to most.First, it uses a cool air wick rather than a sonicator (which puts the water contaminants on your furniture and in your lungs) or a heater (which is inefficient, gets horrible mineral buildup which is very difficult to clean, and can cause fire hazards).It has a huge tank.And it has a thermostat so you can just turn it on and forget about it, aside from refilling it every day or two.It will get the humidity where you want it - not too dry, not too humid.For these reasons, I recommend this unit.
The downsides: It is not as nice as the model it replaced (which I also have) which looks almost exactly the same.The controls and display are a little less obvious - they added more functionality with too few buttons.That is easily dealt with by deciding how you want to use it and then always putting it in that mode.I like to set the fan to low or medium (so it is nice and quiet and you hardly hear it) and then set the humidity to 30, 35, or 40.As others here have mentioned, the hygrometer is a bit flaky.At times it is stable.At times it jumps around a bit.This can lead the system to turn on and off in response to changes in the measured humidity.It still gets the humidity to roughly what you set it to (as I've verified with a separate hygrometer).And if you don't have the fan set too high, you don't really notice that it turns on and off a bit more than it needs to.Mine has not turned on and off in short succession that frequently, although sometimes it does.It doesn't appear to impact its efficacy or accuracy, although if the fan is high and the room is quiet, it might really bug some people on the occassions it cuts on and off.Some people here report more aggressive cycling than I've observed.Sunbeam really should fix this and ponder a user interface tweak. The improvement over the previous model is that it continuously reports the hygrometer reading, which is really nice.
I'm giving this 4 stars because I still greatly prefer this over all the other humidifiers I've ever owned (and about the same as the model this one obsoleted).
