Overview

Not a mist humidifier, the Vornado evaporative unit pulls air through wet wicks and circulates the moisture around the room with its fan. A humidistat holds the level you set, and it shuts off when the tanks run dry.

No mist and no white dust is the case, along with very low power use from the DC motor. The wicks are a consumable, and the unit only works on U.S. voltage.

Who it's for

People in dry climates or heated homes who want steady humidity with low energy use. Travelers or international buyers need a model for local voltage.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No mist or white dust
  • Low energy DC motor
  • Auto humidity control
  • Two easy fill tanks
Cons
  • Wicks need replacing
  • U.S. voltage only
  • Fan noise at high speed

Performance notes

Output depends on airflow through the wicks: higher fan speeds evaporate more water, up to the daily maximum. The humidistat stops adding moisture at your set level, so rooms do not get damp.
