Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Initially I rated this 4 stars, but after summer I went to start up the unit and the bearing in the electric motor seized. I had to unscrew 24+ screws to oil the electric motor to get it going again. If you need a humidifier that takes up little floor space, then this Essick D46 720 is so-so. If you are a light sleeper, do not put it in the bedroom as it makes an occasional gurgling noise as water evaporates from the bottom pan. Refilling is a little tricky.
TRICK I LEARNED TO AVOID SPILLAGE: Do not try to insert the full tank onto the humidifier slowly. Line it up and semi-quickly lower the tank and latch it.
WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? Not if I can find another humidifier that has the pros I want. See below. Hopefully a humidifier engineer will read this and design a similar unit but better.
PROS: Uses small amount of floor space, easy to fill tanks, high capacity tanks, this evaporative type humidifier uses less energy than vaporizer types and the unit is attractive.
CONS: In less than one year the bearing in the electric motor seized. It took a lot of time to oil the bearings. As much as I try to insert full tanks without spillage, once or twice a week I spill about a 6" puddle on my tile floor (on carpeting you should set the unit on a shallow tray), this evaporative type humidifier is noisier than vaporizer types. High speed (4) sounds like a loud air conditioner. Speed 3 is quiet, but does not increase the humidity a real lot. So I set it to 4 as I leave to work.
