Doesn't control humidity
I like the design, it's pretty quiet and seems to add humidity pretty well, but it doesn't maintain humidity at a set level. 39% 67%. It's a crap shoot. I want to rely on this thing to keep my music room at a good level for my stringed instruments. My previous Vornado humidifier did a great job and cost less. Disappointed.

Ooops missing filters
I've purchased several of these over the years. Good item. However, recently I was disappointed to discover they no longer come with both filters required for operation. I purchases three of the Evap 40 this month. Each contained only one filter....which means you have to order more filters immediately in order for the units to be used.. I wonder why they changed the pratice of incuding both filters with these units. A trick to get you to buy a filter supply/

Completely ineffective!
I have a open concept living space. No where near 1000 sq feet. I bought this because of the large capacity & run time. It DOESN'T WORK! SO DISAPPOINTED! It has had ZERO impact on the humidity level in my home. Even after running for over 24 hours straight & completing a full to empty water cycle. It also does not shut off after the water has run completely dry. (HAZARDOUS!) I bought this thinking it was the solution for my needs. It's a big clunky eye sore that is useless.

Love This Humidifier
I had a humidifier that didn’t work and replaced it with this one. I love that the water lasts longer than a day and keeps my bedroom comfortably humidified when on. The 2 water containers are easy to fill up and the unit is easy to assemble and disassemble.

If you haven't seen it yet, check it out below! I bought 10 different humidifiers, and narrowed it down to this elegant beast =) https://youtu.be/3T70xY5OGMI

My family owns two, and both running strong
My parents got one of these as a wedding gift a long time ago, and it still works! My mom got another one though, and so the old one is a backup but we probably won't need it for that. Looking at other reviews, people were saying the fan is impossible to get to, and, uh, no it isn't, because there's screws on the underside of the fan going around which you can loosen and remove to get to the fan and clean it (yours may not have them but both Evap40s that we have do [20-30 years b/w them], sooooo....). The fans in both have never needed oil which is surprising to me since c frame motors usually need oil so that's a big thing too. The tanks glugging is pretty annoying, but I get used to it. It is a very quiet fan, even on high, which is a comfortable loud (I have fans smaller than the Evap40s and those are way louder). Hopefully this review helps others who are looking into buying one, and yes the wicks can get cleaned (pretty sure it explains it in the instructions). Also, the humidifier fan has a slow spin down, but I'm pretty sure it's the blade- The blade's pitch is very steep for max air output, and the 5303DC I have has ball bearings and the motor takes a long time to stop, but with the blade it stops quickly. It's called air resistance hence why deep pitch blades stop faster than shallow pitch blades. Anyway, thanks Vornado for making a great humidifier which I think will go 5-10 years past the warranty.

Love the Added Moisture - Hate the Inaccurate Humidistat
The humidifier has a great design. It is easy to clean; it is easy to fill. I was able to get my 14% humidity level up to ~40% in no time. I am able to keep enough moisture in the room so that I am no longer shocked by static electricity!! Ability to re-humidify the room is 5 stars. However, the humidistat does not function well. I am contantly moving the humidistat in order to stay within the desired humidity range. I can not set the gauge for any length of time in order to reach AND STAY WITHIN the desired humidity range. Either the humidifier continues without interruption up to 50% (not my desired range; I allowed this to happen only once); or once stopped at a supposed upper range, the humidifier will not reengage, allowing the humidity to descend below 30%. For this reason (inaccuracy of humidistat) I do not use the humidifier unless I am at home and awake! I do not use it at night.

design allows for 4 gal in low profile and high output
I was a little skeptical of the design at first, turns out to be brilliant. it would be nice if the top fastened to the bottom but that would distract from it simplicity and sleekness. being able to fill the tubs directly saves time
