Essick Air E35 000 2-Speed Tabletop Humidifier, White

The humidifer arrived in good shape, looked good, and fit nicely in front of my (unused) fireplace. I liked the idea of being able to bring water to the unit and to refill from the top, but I agree with another reviewer that the top is difficult to remove while keeping the filter in place and hard to reassemble if the filter has moved out of place. Upon turning on, I found that low speed did not work at all; unit would run only on high speed. Unfortunately the unit is noisy at high speed. I also found the although I could hear clicking at a low and high range when I turned the humidity knob, the unit would only turn on when I manually moved the knob to that high range setting. The only way the unit would turn off was when I turned off the fan switch. If I turned the humidity knob to a point below the high range setting, it would never turn on by itself, even though the humidity in the room was changing. I returned the unit and requested a refund.

The humidifier arrived in good condition, and works well, but is badly designed. When I take the top off to refill it, the filter comes partway out with the top leaving me to struggle to detach it with one hand while holding the top awkwardly with the other. Trying to put the top back on is also difficult as the filter has to fit into a slot on the cover. All in all, awkward.

Chose this Essex based on my experience with the larger 3-gal model. It has one filter, same size as my larger with two, so that was a convenience. Unfortunately, it arrived dead, with the on-off not working, so I didn't get to hear if the fan is as quiet, my main priority for the bedroom, and not going to leak, as the vaporizor types might do. bookburn

I ordered this humidifier as I had several replacement wicks that I wanted to use. I don't think this humidifier is meant for shipping. The first time I received it was completely broken and wouldn't even work. I think the motor is too heavy and became detached from the plastic that surrounds it. Amazon was great about replacing immediately, but it was still partially broken when I received. Was in working order, but I would not recommend the product based on it's inability to be shipped without being damaged.

Ordered this item from Amazon back in August 2010 for use in the fall when the weather gets cold and dry in New England. I opened it up the first week of November and found the brand plate peeling off (no big deal) and the motor wouldn't run without putting a small amount of hand pressure on the speed adjustment knob.
