Well, I did it. I sprung for the MoistAir 14 Gallon Humidifier. It works pretty nicely.
A few weeks ago, there was a snap in the air. I thought, “Oh no. Here we go again.” I had to light up the pellet stove and with that comes dry air. I woke up a few mornings with a dry head.
I had known that I was going to get this humidifier since last year. I wasn’t looking forward to spending over $100 on it though. As you might remember, I purchased another one last year and it couldn’t cut it. I thought the evaporative route might be better traveled.
This humidifier is supposed to cover 2,900 square feet and evaporate 14 gallons a day. Having run this little machine for a few weeks now, I would agree with the manufacturer’s claim. It certainly pulls the water out of the tanks and puts it into the air. We have the unit set up in the basement and we constantly hear the gurgling of water. The only modification we had to make was the slip a few tiles underneath the front of the unit. For some reason, the water wasn’t coming out of one of the tanks. Since I put the tile under there, it has been working great.
By the way, there are three fan speeds and three humidity level settings. I forget what we have the humidity settings on, but when I see moisture on the windows, I turn it down.
One question: Just wondering why the people who made this humidifier thought it was necessary for it resemble a 1978 station wagon. Fake wood grain went out a few years ago.

I had to put tiles under it too so water would come out both tanks.
And you are right it looks like the Family Truckster the Griswolds owned on their way to Walley World. That fake wood is horrible.
Does it work through the whole house?
So, if it’s in the Dining room, does the moisture carry up to the bedrooms? Or would you recommend putting it upstairs since the bedrooms are the most important places to keep moist (esp with kids)??
Thanks for always doing my research for me, Jay.
It does work throughout the whole house. It really is a good unit. You won’t get that mist that people like so much when they are sick, but the overall humidity will be raised with this unit. Stick it in the living room and let it do its thing. You’ll hear the gurgling of the water.
