Is this pretty much the same thing as a humidifier?

no, I looked it up for you and this is what I found.... a humidifier's purpose is to Increase humidity by heating water and oils. A diffuser's purpose is to Disperse essential oils into a large area to create a therapeutic effect on respiratory system, and aromatic effect in a room, or to shift emotion through inhalation of specific oil vapors.

I agree with Brandi. This diffuser emits a very small stream of mist concentrated with essential oil(s) of your choice!! I have 2 of these and can't imagine using essentials without them:). Enjoy!!

It's much smaller and lighter so everything in your room wont dampen like a humidifier. It distributes the smell into the air immediately so no wait time. There is a moisture component to it which is how the oil droplets are sent through the air but I wouldn't consider it a full on humidifier. It is the Apple of diffusers for essential oils. It's a great buy I think - I use mine about 2 times a day for full cycles. It improves the quality of daily life - I also use it with peppermint in it in the am to get my kids up and going.

I agree with Stuart Uggen's answer. My humidifier is made with a little place for the Pro Tec unit in the water tank, and it works well with my water supply.

No, not a bit. It doesn't have that ionic feature. I do use water from our reverse osmosis water filter system, but the humidifier is not the type to put out that dust. I believe that's more in an air purifier or air filter, not a humidifier.

yes, easy maintenance too! Best one on the market. I did a lot of research on humidifiers because I'm a new mom. This saves you money because it does not blow out a warm mist. The warm mist humidifiers cost more money because the water has to heat up and it has mold issues. I've been through it all.

Yes, there is plenty room for that. I thought I would do the same however, I really haven't felt the need for the humidifier.

It is advertised on this very page as a diffuser and a humidifier. If you wanted a humidifier then I would send this one back & get a refund.

I have tried several humidifiers as well. This one is by far the best. It's not silent but I don't believe it's overbearing either. Nice big tank for less filling.

I do not use the humidifier only the heater. works well in smaller room, Runs all day in large area. It would take forever to heat a large space with this unit. I do like it for smaller areas.

I don't have answer for this question. But I should let you know that this one was broken within two months. Then I had to buy another humidifier.

I do agree that a large console humidifier might work better - but I have a very large bedroom and live in a dry winter climate - it does a great job for me. I also have radiator heat and it gets so dry without the humidifier. I purchased a small temp/humidifier display and this Honeywell raises my humidity quickly - within an hour. It will empty completely for me in a 24 hour period. Hope that helps.

The response from Don pretty much says it all. In addition , the Kyser humidifier also helps out feedback from happening when amplification is used. Two for the price of one

Yes and Yes! I love this humidifier and use it in my bedroom. You may notice a slight hissing but that's too be expected with a warm mist humidifier. I find it to be rather soothing too. It's also sleek and isn't an eyesore. I shopped around quite sometime before settling on this one and I'm glad I did.

There is a light mist that comes from this diffuser but I would not classify it as anywhere near the amount of moisture that you would get from a humidifier.

It is not a warm mist humidifier, it is just a very noisy cool humidifier that I do not recommend to buy.

Possibly, but I don't know about the output. This "fogs" more than a standard humidifier.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid. It's kinda like that floral sponge meteral
