Air Innovations MH-408 Black 1.1 Gal

My mom recommended this particular humidifier when she came to visit us. Our house is very dry for some reason (lots of wood) and others have commented before on how dry it is. I've tried different humidifiers and they are either too big, or too loud, or too hard to keep clean, or too strong with condensation on every wall even at the lowest setting, or too expensive, etc. I had given up on finding a humidifier. Until this one. We keep one in the living room and one in the bedroom. I think I will get two more for the guest room and kids room (my kid has one of those Vicks Vaporizer ones in her room - seems to work ok when she needs it). TIP: get a humidity reader https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013BKDO8 to go along with it. That way you know how to adjust on the fly. In Winter we try to keep it at least 35% - although high 30's up to 40, 41 feels best (in Winter - Summer it's higher naturally). Without the humidifiier our house will stay at an uncomfortable and spark inducing (haha) 25%. TIP: I believe it's meant to be on a table instead of on the ground. It not only works better for each room this way, but we found when we had it on the ground, it misted the carpet too much instead of the air. Pros: --great price and works very well. I bought two, and I may get a third for my kids room --size seems to be what makes it so perfect for us. The ones I had before held too much water and were heavy to fill/move. Just ends up creating a bacteria haven. --looks great. Everyone one who comes in for some reason says "where did you get that??". It's not one of those clunky white things with a giant tank - very sleek. --perfect amount of humidity and very easy to adjust as needed. --easy to refill - light. --easy to clean. I clean it every other/every 3rd or so tank fill. It comes with a handy little self storing brush. --very quiet - almost soothing. The last few I had would gurgle loudly or run louder. --will run for a couple of days in normal weather without having to be refilled, and once every 24 hours or so on Winter days that are very dry Cons --trying hard to think of one. :) It needs to be on a table top. So we had to find space for it in each room. --wish it had a super easy essential oil diffuser function. We like to run essential oils (doterra breathe - amazing) all Winter long, so we have to have two units going - this one and our aroma diffuser. But that particular Unicorn combo of great humidifier at great price + aromatherapy diffuser doesn't seem to exist - unless someone knows of one. Highly recommend this unit for every room where you spend time in Winter. Until we bust out $10K+++ on a whole house humidifier, this works great.
