Vornado Element SA Air/Steam Humidifier

The vornado humidifier is perfect. We bought an ultrasonic at first from a different company, but learned about their negatives quickly. The tri-mode low, medium, high vornado has been perfect. Love the humidistat to turn off automatically when the set humidity level is reached. We leave it on high during the day so the fan is low while emitting more steam. And then turn it to medium for the evening which turns the fan up a bit, but less steam. We find it cycles off/on less this way. The fan is noticeable, but what isn't in the middle of the night. We usually fill with filtered water which reduces the need to clean the calcium buildup. Perfect little unit with a 5 year warranty from a reputable company.
