## Description

desertcart.com: AIRCARE Digital Whole-House Pedestal-Style Evaporative Humidifier (Espresso) : Home & Kitchen

Review: Its is excellent at performing its key function - increasing humidity. - I give this product 5 stars because after a ton of research, I think it is about as good as you will get, so it deserves to be ranked at the top. In terms of doing what it is intended, generate humidity, it is excellent ! That said, there is defiantly room for improvement of a few accounts. As per many other reviews, it is noisy on the higher speeds. Speed 1 is the slowest which is quite quiet, but you know its there. Speed 4 or 5 is about as fast as I like to run it when I am within 10ft of it. Speed 9 is loud, but very effective. I've not had it long, but I plan to run it fairly low during the day when we are near it. At night, while we are quite a way from it, I will run it on a high level. Given the range of noise produced, I thing having nine speed settings if the right number of speeds to find a level you are comfortable with. As per many other reviews, it appears to over read the humidity level. I expect its probably accurate and the humidity immediately around the humidifier is higher that say, 10 for away from it. This is more of a learning exercise than a problem. I have mine set on 50 while my echbee(s) report around 35. It only took a day or two to get the desired effect. The max fill water line is rather close to the top of the water container. I am quite cautious to move it slowly and cautiously when its full to avoid any water sloshing over the top. I have had no spillage to date, but its good to be aware of this fact. I made this comment as I read some people wheel it over to a water supply. I bring the water to the humidifier in a watering can. I do not like the design for refilling it much. Its quite annoying to have to get the little funnel each time you want to refill it, and find a place to store it. I read numerous reviews about people being unable to fill it without spilling water. I have found it easy to fill with a little caution. I have been using a watering can with the sprinkler piece removed. The end of the watering can must not be rested on their funnel as it would be knocked off and result in a mess. I intend to buy a foot of flexible plastic tube to put on the end of the watering can so I won't need the clumsy funnel. One of my reasons for choosing this model was the fact that you did not have a removable refillable container. I am very pleased with my choice and find this approach much better that my previous experiences. The first time I filled it up, I had to get a light so I could see the maximum fill line. This seem quite a pain. Then I plugged it in only to discover it has a small light inside which makes it very easy to see. Plug it in when filling, lol. The two pictures I attached are from two of my ecobee thermostats. The vertical line is positioned at the time I started the unit. The graph shows my indoor humidity shooting up over an hour or two as the outdoor humidity drops, This unit seems to provide a good amount of humidity to a much larger area than advertised. I was planning on getting a second one if I liked this one, but it seems that I probably do not need to. It looks quite presentable and is not an eye sore in a newly renovated kitchen. I also like the exchangeable tile recessed in the top which you can replace. I quite like the one provided though and so I stuck with that. All in all, its not perfect, but its solved all my humidity issues better that all my previous attempts.
Review: Very good unit at first use. Recommended - Works very well in my 1500 sq ft bottom floor. The humidistat works well although I am still adjusting the level for optimal effect. I’m using distilled water because my city water contains haloethanes that would be thrown into the air. You can get distilled water for a dollar a gallon so I’m not bothering with water additives. I am 72 with asthma so I don’t want anything to pollute my air. The severe dryness, sub desert level was wreaking havoc on my health. It works well at lower fan speeds with not much noise. It will just need to run a bit longer. Obviously I cannot speak to long term reliability but it is mostly plastic and will not be subjected to sunlight which weakens plastics. Only thing is you cannot see into it to determine remaining water level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ AIRCARE EP9500 vs. ESSICK EP9500
*by S***. on January 16, 2014*

***UPDATE for purchase of NEW AIRCARE EP9 500; 2/1/2017*** I loved my first humidifier so much, after a few years I decided to purchase another one to help humidify the rest of my home. The EP9 500 humidifier that I've had for a few years now is made by ESSICK whereas the new ones are made by AIRCARE. I'm sure it's pretty much the same company, but I can say that the new unit is not as good as the old one. First, the LED lights are now BRIGHT blue, versus the subtle green on the old unit. This is not a major issue, however it does tend to keep a dark room lit some; almost like an unwanted night light. Also, the tile on the top of the new unit is plastic and locked in. It is not easily interchangeable like on the old unit. This is not a big deal for me, but it may be for some. The biggest issue that I have is the inaccuracy of the humidifier's hygrometer. This thing reads about 15-20% higher than my older ESSICK EP9 500. My old one is pretty accurate, when compared to my in-home weather unit's hygrometer, but this one is way off. In order to keep my house at about 45% relative humidity, I have to set the humidifier to 55% or higher. It's definitely not an accurate reading.....which is displeasing because the old one worked just fine. To address the fan noise - it's really not that bad. Actually, my newer AIRCARE unit is a little quieter than my older ESSICK unit. I run them both on 9 (highest setting) and I can still hear the TV and others just fine. Yes, they make a little noise, but no more than a box fan. If you want this thing to really put out some moisture, you'll have to accept a little noise and run it on high, otherwise - run it at 4 or 5 and you'll never even know it's on. Overall, the AIRCARE unit still wicks water and operates just as the older ESSICK unit does. I'm not particularly thrilled with the issues specific to the newer unit, but I can make due since it does work to humidify the home. The old ESSICK remotes still work for this unit as well. Hopefully, AIRCARE will take a look at these reviews and fix their issues. Their units are pretty solid, they just lack some QC on their hygrometers.... ***UPDATE 10/31/2016 (ESSICK VERSION)*** STILL GOING STRONG!!! No issues with this product, all is working flawlessly. Still humidifying, light still works, remote still works, and fan is not noisy. I'm very happy with this humidifier. I'm considering purchasing another for my house to keep up in the really cold months when the wood stove is burning hard - just waiting for the right price! **UPDATE 1/28/15 (ESSICK VERSION)** I'm using the humidifier daily again this year and I still love this thing! The remote issue was worked out - turned out the cheap batteries that were supplied with the remote were not powerful enough to control the humidifier, so when I changed them over to Duracell's, all worked fine. The unit was easy to clean after last winter, and changing the filter was a breeze. I still have nothing but good things to say about this unit! Sure, the humidity readouts on screen are definitely a little off, but it still keeps the air in my home moist (about 40%)which is perfect! I'm hoping this thing will last a lifetime! ***REVIEW FOR FIRST ESSICK EP9 500 PURCHASE*** Ok so I am writing this review even though I have only had the humidifier for about a week. So far, I have nothing but good things to say. I'll start by saying that I was VERY skeptical to buy this because I spent a lot of time reading reviews and they were not too impressive. Most people complained about the noise, the inconvenience of the fill port, and the disability of not being able to tell when it is full. THIS REVIEW IS BASED SOLEY ON THE EP9 500 HUMIDIFIER THAT I RECEIVED. Let's start with the noise. Yes, this thing is semi-noisy. Noisy enough to make me knock a star off, heck no. Come on people, no matter what, fan's will be noisy. This thing has a POWERFUL fan, which gives it the ability to humidify the entire house. It's not that bad, even on 9. As far as the fill port goes, I have absolutely no complaints. Maybe the port has been changed, but I think the fill port is a great design. It's approximately 5" wide and opens more than enough to fill with a pitcher without spilling. It is much better than using tanks. Next, (this is the best part), MY EP9 500 has a LIGHT inside of it. IT WORKS AMAZING!!!! This light enables you to see the MAX FILL line on the wick assembly when filling. It is very easy to look in the door and see when the humidifier is full. There is only one downside to the light - it stays on all the time, even when the unit is turned off. Once again, this doesn't bother me enough to drop a star. It seems like Essick may be reading reviews and took some advice because the LED that they added to the inside of this unit is a great idea. I'm not sure if Amazon is shipping out variations of this product, but I'm happy with the one I received. On to the next praise - PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH THE IMAGE FOR THIS PRODUCT DISPLAYS A REMOTE, IT IS NOT INCLUDED. I was disappointed to see that it did not have an included remote, so I contacted Amazon about it. They were AWESOME and credited my account for the cost of a remote ($25.00) and I went ahead and ordered one from another website. Only one downside; I received the remote and it only works when it wants to. I'm thinking this is a remote issue, so I'll see if I can get a replacement. If it works, I'll be thrilled. The unit has done very well humidifying my entire home (2300 sq. ft, 3 floors). I keep the humidifier in the basement where the return can pull the warm air from the wood stove and the moist air from the humidifier. Although I'm sure the entire house isn't the same humidity, I have not been getting shocked since I set this up. Final Praise - The quality of the packaging was great. It did take about 4 business days to get here (even though I have prime) but after I saw the quality of the packaging, I was grateful. A+ for the boxing. Like I said before, I have nothing but good things to say about this humidifier so far. As long as you receive the same humidifier that I described in this review, I would indeed order another if needed later down the road. I'm not sure why some of you are getting units that you aren't happy with, but I am very satisfied with mine. I'll update this review If I have any negative feedback that sprouts up later down the road. A+ on the improvements Essick, now ONLY sell the reimaged humidifiers and get rid of the bad stock, and you'll have more satisfied customers like me.
