Why is it not misting?

It may be misting and you just aren't able to see it. I notice that if it's on the 1 or 2, it can be difficult to see the steam - but it is there. It's much easier to see if you adjust the setting to 3 or 4.

I have used it in a Chapin spray system and in a plain watering can. It is a liquid. I do not own a misting system.

there is no mist. There is no cell to atomize water into the air. Evaporative. There are 2 paper wicks that look like corrugated paper filters, that soak up water. A fan draws air through / past the paper wicks.

The only thing I can think of is low water pressure. But, if it's sprinkling without spinning then I'm puzzled.

It is a cool, fine, mist does not make a mess. It has worked well thus far.

You might need to hold the mist button longer. I sometimes have to do that with my light button.

If you hold up a glass or mirror or something in front of the emitting nozzle while it's running, you should see some water start to fog/form droplets on the surface. If not, you might have a defective product. Maybe some part of the water feed is blocked or broken, after the sensor that tells the unit it's out of water.Because the mist is so fine, I can't always see it either, especially below 20% or so. At full power you should definitely see the mist particles. Try looking at it from a side angle in front of a dark-colored surface, or turning off the lights and using the unit's night light.I'm out of ideas!

You should be fine, maybe add just a touch more water. Roughly the same amount of water will be used, the 15 second intervals of misting just have longer gaps between on the longer cycles. There does seem to be an inconsistency to the amount of water that gets used, but I feel like that has more to do with the amount of moisture in the air, than the length of the cycle. I run mine on the 7 hour cycle regularly, and I continues to mist the whole time, but uses approximately the same amount of water as when I run the one or three hour cycles.

Yes there is a mist. You need to fill the tank with water. You can turn on just the light too. It is meant to put moisture in the air so no it doesn't dehumidify. The instructions shiw specifics in adding water and oil and hiw to turn it on. I ran mine the other day with just lights accidentally. :)

First, make sure the machine is on a level surface. Secondly, make sure the top and base are fit together properly. It is easy to not fit them together properly. Check the mist output dial to see what setting it is at.The mist should be quite visible if you have the output dial set at the middle or higher.

I wanted it to mist too, but couldn't get it to do that. Even if you adjust the nozzle to spray as opposed to stream, it's still not exactly a fine mist.

I bought this one as a gift so I'm not sure about it specifically. I do have another one that I mist daily with a spray bottle. Hope that helps.

I never saw any mist come out but I did smell the vapor. Like some of the others have mentioned this doesn't serve he purpose of neither a dehumidifier or an air cleaner...it probably puts out maybe 2 tablespoons of water per day. To answer your question, unfortunately I would probably have to say yes it's normal.

I think it is just humidity but I will try and check that on the unit tomorrow and let you know.

No sweating here, but we live in a very dry climate. Is it humid where you are? That could be the problem.

Dear Sir or Madam;Thank you for your recent inquiry. I apologize but The Evaporative Misting Fan is for outdoor use only to be connected to a standard hose. Please let us know if you would like further assistance. Thank you and have a great day.

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.
