It’s big and it’s boxy, but this humidifier is designed to humidify an entire house--up to 2,300 square feet. Using an evaporative system and unheated, natural, evaporated water, it 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; and reduced static electricity protects computers and electronics. This humidifier’s water bottles disperse up to 11 gallons of water per day, refilling easily and neatly in the sink via an included hose. Cleaning the rest of the appliance is just as simple: the power unit lifts off the top of the humidifier for easy cleaning and servicing, while the evaporative wick, which filters out mineral deposits, also lifts out for replacing. This humidifier also offers air cleaning capabilities and includes a two-stage replaceable filter to remove pollen, dust, smoke, and other odor-causing particles from the air. Controls are hidden behind a panel on the top of the unit. Select a preferred humidity from the humidistat dial, and this model will automatically turn itself on and off to maintain the chosen humidity level. In addition, this humidifier’s fan offers variable speeds, including a quieter setting for nighttime operation. This humidifier measures 29-5/8 by 14-7/8 by 25-3/8 inches, and comes in a fake cherry wood finish to disguise it as a console table. Bemis covers this unit under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
