Using an evaporative system and unheated, natural, evaporated water, this humidifier requires less energy than warm mist or steam units. You also won’t have to deal with white dust, spray, or mist on furniture or floors. Other benefits of the evaporative system include: relief from symptoms of dry skin, itchy eyes, chapped lips, and scratchy throat; it prevents plants and furniture from becoming overly dry; reduced static electricity protects computers and electronics. Its water reservoir holds and disperses up to 8 gallons of water per day into the air, and refills easily and neatly via a removable grill on the unit’s top. A digital humidistat makes it easy to set a preferred humidity. The humidistat also automatically turns itself on and off to maintain the set humidity level, displaying both current and desired humidity levels, at all times, on the LCD. In addition, the humidifier’s fan offers two settings--low and high--and has power and water refill indicator lights. Measuring 18 by 12-1/2 by 21 inches, this model even has casters on its base, so it easily rolls from room to room. Bemis covers this unit under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
