Essick Air EP9 500 Whole House Evaporative Digital Pedestal Humidifier, Nutmeg

This is a very nice looking unit. It runs very quietly at it's lowest fan speed and can put out a lot of moisture at it's highest (10) speed. The only drawback we have had is that it is difficult to see the water level. At first we overfilled the unit and had about a quart of water overflow onto our carpeting. At that point we started taking the unit apart (it is 2 pieces) by lifting the outer shell off. We then learned to just use a flashlight to look into the tank with the front filler door open. It comes with an attachment that fits the filler door when open to extend the opening, but we do not use it. It is a lot more convenient to fill versus pulling the tanks out of our old unit. Would buy again.

My ex is a humidifier person, so I learned from the best. This is a sweet humidifier. Nice and seemingly accurate and well engineered controls, nice marble top and perfect for my purpose. Gets loud once you get into level 5-10. Level 1 is quiet and gets my 12 x 16 master bedroom about 55% (I'm in uber-dry Las Cruces, NM too...) Worth the $.
