Humidifiers for Home Large Room-YOKEKON Large Humidifier for Whole House 3000 sq ft, 5.3Gal/20L, Greenhouse, Commercial Branch Tube Design with 360° Nozzle Sets, Remote, White

The media could not be loaded. This is the best humidifier with a strong mist output and big tank, while easy to operate and refill.I like it that all four nozzles can move 360 degrees independently. I can place the humidifier in the center of the room and let the mist spread in all directions. I can also put it next to my plants and make sure no plant is left behind. The top of the nozzle can also be removed.The water tank of this thing is huge. And when it runs out, I can easily push the humidifier to and back from the kitchen for water, thanks to the caster wheels. Just keep in mind that you might have trouble rolling it on uneven ground. So you might need to lift it for a bit. It's not that heavy though.You can control it with a remote but I don't use it often. The front panel is easily accessible. So most time the remote just lies on top of the humidifier, together with a cleaning sponge came with the humidifier.I used to have several small humidifiers. But now I can replace all of them with this single device. Admittedly the price is a little high. But controlling, cleaning, and refilling one humidifier is a much simpler job than working on 4. There are other humidifiers with a big tank. But they either do not output enough mist, or hard to move around without wheels.I did have a little issue in the beginning. When I first started this humidifier, the humidity reading was around 90 when it should be around 40. I couldn't set a humidity target below 90 because it will just shut itself off. Luckily, I am able to disable the auto shut-off function. Some other users also reported this problem and someone suggested unplugging and cleaning. I have tried several times but it didn't help. And then after two days of use, I decided to put the humidifier in another location of the room and the incorrect humidity reading somehow disappeared. I am not sure what was going on. Maybe the initial location is not good for the mist to dissipate. Or maybe the humidity sensor needed some time to sort itself out. But anyway, now it reads the correct humidity level of the room and works without any problems.

This humidifier is great, the large tank means less refilling. The tank also has wheels so you don't throw your back out hauling it to the sink.The water is pumped up through a submersible pump in the tank. This is a great improvement over other ultrasonic humidifiers, because the water muffles the sound of the pump that fills the chamber where the magic happens. That and the fan are the only moving parts, so it's very quiet.This model has four separate vaporizers, this helps provide enough vapor that you can stack the included attachments on the pipe and get everything and everyone moist in all directions.There's a UV light in the chamber with the vaporizers that when turned on and opened the inside looks like a 70s prog rock show. Whether it's effective at keeping the gunk down we'll see.I previously owned a Lacidoll 16L humidifier, but the pump failed and their tech support was excellent and willing to ship a replacement, but it would take months. Instead we opted to have it replaced with this new and improved Yokekon model. And I'm glad, this things great.I live in a 1000sq ft apartment in Chicago, and I have lots of plants. In winter the RH can get under 20% in my apartment when the radiators are cranking on sub-freezing days. When it's that dry I get respiratory issues, my plants wilt, and my cat gets all itchy. So a big ass humidifier takes care of that.Here's some tips:Clean these every time to fill them, or at least weekly. Machines with water get gunky.If see white dust around, your water is hard like mine. Get a filtered shower head, (I bought the AquaBliss SF220 that doesn't add minerals) and a showerhead with a hand attachment and use that to fill the tank. Those blue, "demineralization cartridges" didn't do anything for me.I use an extension cord so it's easier to roll the humidifier out to a comfortable place when I'm refilling it. And I keep one of those big cork coasters you put under plant pots so when I take the top off it catches any drips. But you can also refill from the top of that suits you.
