I have a 2-story 2100 sq foot house. Would this humidifier be sufficient for the entire house if put on the first OR second floor?

Yes, it will work just fine for your home. I would recommend putting it in a storage container of some type to help with emptying out humidifier to clean. Also I'd highly advise changing the filter once a month.

No way, in my opinion. Reservoir's too small. And to be honest, I wouldn't buy this again. It's really poorly built.

We have a two story and it works fine, but would probably depend on placement. Ours is placed at the bottom of the stairs. We've had this unit two years now and it still works great. You do need to change the filter more often then stated in the manual and I would recommend a water treatment for the tank. Ours holder where the water is held gets slimy pretty quick without it.

No, I wouldn't think so. In fact, you would probably need 3-4 of these units.

David O.:I installed my Aprilaire 700 humidifier on the main duct and mounted the Model 60 Humidistat on the return duct just before the furnace filter. The distance shouldn't be a factor at all.

It depends on which setting you put it on. I usually have mine on 2 and-although it's noticeable- it's not any worse than a humidifier, or space heater. Even at 3 it's basically the same. I've never had it above 3 so couldn't say about the higher levels.

The room I have it in is for my new born twins which is approximately 14' X 16' . It works well; however, I don't think it will work very well with any room that's much big. Side note , when the humidifier is on the max level you hear the water boiling which is very load.

I use mine in a 20x12 with (8' ceilings) room and it seems to work well. I haven't done relative humidity measurements.

This humidifier is good Up To 2200 sq ft. That's in a best case scenario. I installed this in an 1800 sq ft house, and when the temp dips to 10 degrees, it barely makes an "acceptable" 35% humidity. That's in a well insulated house with double pane windows. Humidity seeks its own level. If your older home is not, or not well insisted, and does not have double pane windows, you will lose humidity almost as fast as you can put it in the air. At the very least, the next size up is better for 2000 sq ft., and with the worst cast scenario, something made for 3-4000 sq ft. May be needed, and that's IF your furnace can accommodate it. PS, the golden zone is 40 to 50% percent humidity. Below 40, viruses thrive; above 50, and mold thrives.

Actually some of the reviews I saw rated it for 1400 sq ft (which is the size of my house). It seems to work relatively well for that size of a building, but I also have an air purifier that circulates the air flow (which I move from room to room). It also has rollers so it can be moved from room to room if you desire.

It would first depend on the square footage of your home. Either way I would not suggest this one. I would go back to a console and haul a bucket of water versus taking one or two containers provided to fill the humidifier up every morning. When you decide on one (larger version) you will notice a big change of moist air in your home.

I use in Yuma in a fairly large room works fairly well if you live in a place w/no humidity would prob. get one with a humidifier if not this should work fine have had no problems w/the unit

It's a great unit for a bedroom, probably would work fine for 250 sq. ft. I bought it for my daughter who has asthma and it made an amazing difference for her. You can put it on automatic and it only works when it needs to. I think it's a great little unit. Only for dust it work very well, but if you need it to, it does so much more.

The best way to use it for your area would be to alternate rooms every other day. The specs state 625 sq. ft. on high but I alternate areas on setting four and it more than does the job. It pulls a lot of dust and debris from the air, so check the filters to wipe down clean at least every month! I've had mine about 3 months and my daily headaches stopped immediately. I've had NONE! i run it 24/7 and always put it in my bedroom overnight.

Yes it will be big enough to humidify your room, but as we are all finding you won't be able to set the amount of water that you can on others. You can choose how strong the fan goes and you can even set that you don't want the unit running all night, just to the amount that is apparently pre-set in the unit which is about 50-55.

It depends more on how much odor you are generating. I use it for a very small room, but would work on the entire house if the odor was minimum.

It would work on a 2 story house. I have a single story and only use part of the sections.

300 square ft. with high ceilings. I love this humidifier. It is easy to fill and you don't have to deal with expensive stinky filters. I use distilled water and so I don't have to change the demineralized often. It runs quietly.

Our house is 2400sq., one floor. Unfortunately, the control for level of humidity is on the furnace in our "crawl space" and NOT in the house, Therefore, we can never adjust it! Just installed this fall, then we left for our FL house so haven't had the experience. Because of the control location, we would have never purchased it. Amazon site DID NOT explain that!

It did pretty well as a personal humidifier and for small rooms. Would not work for a larger smace but a small bedroom was satisfactory. However, this unit quit within a couple months of purchase so I really cannot recommend it.
