Energy Smart Evaporative Humidifier

Web ID: 7419694Excellent product in Arizona dry climate
I've had a Vornado 1-gallon tank system for about 5 years, and it works great, but we moved to Arizona. Our house is larger and it's a drier climate, so I ordered the EVDC500. I could tell a difference right away. We have it in a large open space (831 SF). My husband had been gone for a week and came home and commented that he could tell a difference. I was visiting friends for several days and could tell a difference that their home was much drier than mine. It's quiet, no white dust forms, and it's easy to use. I love that it has a feature that automatically turns it off if it runs out of water. I would highly recommend it.

Works fine for me.
I have had this unit for about six years now. It has been working great. I have a 1250 sq. ft. townhouse. It can maintain a minimum 40% RH with outside temps in the teens Fahrenheit. I use the Eco mode and it is whisper quiet. I use RO water and one teaspoon of treatment per tank I think I can address two of the complaints. As far as the humidification capacity goes make sure the wicks are properly seated and are wet at the top. Also they need monitoring. I find that the lifespan for me is six to eight weeks. Depending on usage. Bottom line is that is your home allows a lot of air infiltration the unit may simply not be able to keep up. You probably need a larger capacity humidifier. Or two. The other issue is one I first experienced today! Leakage. Yes, it was caused by overfilling. In my case I filled a tank right to the top. The water coming from the tap is cold. Because my RO water system is in the basement. As the water sits in the tank and rises to room temperature it expands pushing out past the valve. I found a small amount of water on the floor. Leave a quarter inch air gap to the top when you fill it. Problem solved.

Very quiet, very accurate
I leave it on the auto/eco mode and it quietly purrs, I love it. The humidistat doesn't show what the current reading is, just the set point, but based on when the fan starts and what two other devices show for rh% it's got to be dead on. Easy to take apart and clean too

Very Quiet
The humidifier reservoirs are easy to fill and clean. Due to the way the unit is designed, the base is very easy to clean when replacing filters. It maintains a constant humidity in the house; and is very quiet.

EVDC doesn't work
I bought this and fill both tanks and initially it works, the fans kick on, but after 1-2 minutes, the fans stop. I have an air sensor in my home so my humidity is low, and the device humidity level is set higher, even at max setting it does not kick on. Waste of money and now I have to send it back. I will not be trying Vornado products anymore.

Poor product, non functional
First one received was defective. Fan would not function. You replaced it with another. Thanks for that. The second one doesn't function either. Fan ran for 15 seconds and has stopped working on any setting. Since you do not do refunds and only replace the product I now have two I have to pay to recycle. I sure do not want another one as the two I got were defective out of the box. Bad experience, never again with that model.

Works well until it doesn't.
Had the unit for a few years. We only ever need them in the winter. Somehow the control panel just won't turn on this year. It was finicky last year and would turn itself off if bumped ever so slightly. It's like the control unit is supposed to sense when everything below it is in position, but even when everything is good to go, it still won't turn on because one of the various sensors isn't working correctly and it won't tell you which one. The added complexity with the unit has made it a less reliable/resilient product. The old, "dumb" humidifiers (all vornado) that we still have for the rest of the house at least still work.
