I am a bit ignorant. Please advise: what is this used for? Is it a humidifier?

Yes, if you use a wood stove like we do as a main source of heat it dries out the air.

It's very similar to a humidifier... You can fill it with water and add your favorite essential oils:) it's amazing... I love mine... And when it's cool enough and you see the steam it's so soothing... Hope this helps

yes, it act as a humidifier . . . fill it with water, put it on the wood stove and when it gets hot enough, you can see the steam coming out of the dragon's nostrils.

Yes, it is a humidifier. Proper humidity level being important for the mucous, breathing.And it looks cool!

when burning wood etc in a stove the fire "dries" out the house, so yes i use it as a form of humidifier to replace the moisture and by doing so it also makes the house "feel" warmer, btw when the steam starts to flow out the nostrils it seems to comes to life.it also receives plenty of accolades just by looking cool, eh. ;)

It's a calcium build up. It'll disable your humidifier altogether if not it's not regularly cleaned. When I first bought the humidifier, I also bought a solution that was supposed to help keep calcium buildup at bay. It didn't. So now I clean the humidifier once a month by letting the heating mechanism soak overnight (or while I'm at work) in vinegar.It works like a dream. This was my boyfriend's suggestion, so I can't take credit for it. But I'll swear on a stack of humidifiers that it works each and every time.

This is a cool mist humidifier. On the instructions it explains about not letting it run completely out of water as it would hurt/burn out the motor. Its made to run with water in it, not without. As for the noise you are looking for, this product doesn't make any noise with water. If I were you I'd look into a noise machine or an actual fan if you are looking for the fan type of noise. This would not be the product for you.

This is up to you, Mary, since the heater doesn't have a water tray to add moisture to the air. I use a humidifier myself, to put moisture into the air for the comfort of people and for the plants too. I think you need a humidifier, with this machine, in a residential living area, anyway. I've used a Vornado machine for years - I clean the washable filter at the beginning of the season and it works fine, here's a link to it, but they are many humidifiers with good feedback, that I see on Amazon, that are lower in price. http://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Evap40-4-Gallon-Evaporative-Humidifier/dp/B00O0WOO74/ref=sr_1_6?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1421788079&sr=1-6&keywords=vornado+humidifier&pebp=1421788166683&peasin=B00O0WOO74

I didn't find one---I did not like this humidifier--I would email the maker to answer this question.

Sorry for your affliction. This machine seems as advertised. I got a couple of hygrometers to measure the humidification and it helps, but it was also summer/air conditioning season. I'd withhold judgment until I got through a winter with the dry heat of my electric furnace.

No. Definitely not. If you're wanting something that adds a measurable amount of moisture to the air, get an actual humidifier. This diffuser is only about 6 inches tall, and outputs less than 1 cup of water over about 6-8 hours. I use it for aromatherapy and it sits on my desk at work. It's that small.

It's not as strong as a humidifier but works in a similar fashion. I have both.

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

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 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.

It's a disk that goes into the water container to treat the water ( for hard water) it comes with the unit and you. An replace them. It would prob work fine without it if your water is good. Otherwise it's good to use it otherwise the minerals in the hard water can ruin the humidifier.

On the package it says:Use in all wick and filter-type humidifiers. Not for use in vaporizer/ultrasonics.

This unit is for a whole house humidifier to add humidity to the air of the interior of the house. It is not for AC use .

This is not a humidifier, it is an air purifier. There is no steam; only cold air comes out.

You can modify it to run a humidifieryou could possibly modify it similarly to run a heater, but the power draw of a heater could be too much for the fusing of the devicehttp://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/764179-humidity-control-how-adjust-cap-air-2-have-capability-caphum-1.html

These oils have many uses and can be used many ways but cannot be used in a humidifier. A diffuser, topically, and taken In a veggie cap internally is how they are recommended to be used & I have used this particular oil in all of those ways! LOVE it! It is great for emotional distress or to uplift and brighten your mood or spirit :)
