Vornado Ultra1 2 Gallon Whole Room Ultrasonic Vortex Humidifier, Black

We really wanted to love this humidifier. It has some great features but when you walk past it you feel ice cold air like the air conditioner was on in the room. I had it on the warm setting and was expecting a warm mist as it states. It made the room very cold which would be great in the summer but not in the winter. Returned it.

First, this unit works great, is very powerful and helps tremendously with relieving the discomfort of our dry desert air. The unit is very attractive, but that causes a problem. The curvilinear top of the tank is a hindrance in filling it up. You have to invert the very large tank to fill it but since it does not have a flat top, it wobbles in the sink. It would have been better to have a flat top, so when inverted for filling, the heavy tank stays stable. Another alternative, would be to have a simple lid on the top of the tank and you could fill it in-place with a pitcher. That way you would not have to lug the heavy-filled tank across the room and it would be easier to clean.

This humidifier was very poorly designed. You have to turn the tank upside down to fill it but the top of the tank is not flat. This makes it very hard to refill. The mineral filter is worthless. I still had to go by distilled water to keep from having the "white dust" build up in the house. I definitely would not recommend this product to anyone!

The humidifier made my whole house much more comfortable. The humidity level was increased and kept consistent over time. My family really enjoyed the filling method with the cap. It prevented a lot of spillage that we had experienced with other humidifiers.

this is my second vornado humdifier, my first one I made the mistake of loaning out to a friend, I never got it back! I live in a very dry enviroment in Colorado, this humidifier had eliminated the dry nose infections that I experience in the winter. The only problem I am having is that I ran the unit on the warm mist setting for the entire winter and the plastic tank is now changed to white on the bottom half. This has led to the water leaking out of the tank. has anyone else had this happen?
