Jury is still out. Recently having trouble with the unit overheating within minutes off turning on. If you turn to more than 30%, the reservoir will run out in less than 6-8 hours. Has helped but so far inconsistent. Will update.

Device looks great but isn’t easy to use, water spills out of tank. One Plus is the aromatherapy option.

great variety in settings temp, res humidity, auto shut-off - one caution if your water is hard the scale build up is a challenge to deal with cleaning required at least weekly - use of distilled water resolves that issue.

This gives alot of good steam. I use it on the warm mist. Have used cool mist but prefer warm. I have to clean this completely every other day or it will produce a code and not work. will return this. Just to much work and buildup on the element.

Vornado Warm Cool - 1 gal

We have tried many humidifiers over the years, but this Vornado Warm Cool - 1 gallon is quiet and lasts a long time. We found that if you use distilled water it's better for the machine and requires less cleaning. Also, NO FILTERS - a real benefit to prevent bacteria from forming and being dispersed into the air. Great for a large room and doubles as a fan in the summer.

I got this one my oldest was sick and we needed a humidifier. I returned it three days later. The first night it worked fine, the second night and third nights it stopped misting. Water tank was filled with distilled water, everything was on and it didn't work. It leaks when trying to replace the tank on the base. I don't recommend this product.

Defective Design

The first week or so it worked great. Looked nice, the water basin was light enough to easily fill up at the sink but big enough that I only had to refill it 1-2 times a day. But after a week I got the overheating signal. I took it apart and there was calcium buildup all over the inside. I cleaned that out and put it back together, but then got the signal that it wasn't on straight. I read the directions and am 100% positive that it was put together correctly. After trying different outlets and putting it back together multiple times I let it sit a couple days and tried again. It worked correctly for a few minutes and then I got the overheating signal again. I did some research and see that other people have similar issues, so it sounds like it's a defect in the design. I returned it.

This humidifier helped so much last winter! Helped to sleep during those very dry months, also like the aromatherapy part of it too. However, would have given 5 stars but condensation would build up in the little container for essential oils, this watering it down. This option might need a little bit of work. But otherwise operates the way it’s supposed to.

I was looking for something that could do more than this product could. I am sure if you only needed this for a smaller sized room to run only once in a while for a kid with a cold, then this might be a good choice. I Expected it to be easy to clean, but I thought it was a hassle. I have well water, and perhaps that was the issue but it just seemed more work than it was worth. I used it maybe a day and a half and that was enough to change my mind.

We loved it so much we bought two! Easy to use, easy to clean. Very quiet and made a huge difference this past winter in skin condition, nose and throat dryness.

It’s ok. It has a lot of features (hot, warm, and cool mist) as well as the ability to add a scent but it just isn’t strong for large rooms. They claim 1000 square feet max and after having it running for a few days it didn’t even make a dent in my living area. I returned for a Honeywell.

It made a constant humming/buzzing noise while plugged in, but not turned on. When you turn the power on its even louder. I don’t mind a “fan” or humming sound but this was unpleasant.

The three different modes (hot, warm, cool steam) work well. The tank is very small and doesn't hold enough to run all night.
