Yes, it does the same without the mold and difficult cleaning. I put mine in the dishwasher. No moving parts.

The G-Midifier does not warm the air in the room. In fact the added humidity may make the air feel a little colder if it's already chilly.

Not sure anyone can technically answer that i have not been sick yet however another method is whether you have static electricity or not, moisture prevents that too, i think this is worth a try, cant hurt having extra moisture in the house/ rooms. G luck.

Yes it was really easy to clean! This is the best humidifier I have ever owned! My cat was sick and i bought is and couldn't believe the moisture that comes out of it! I would recommend this to anyone needing one! My daughter uses it for the grand kids all the time!

Christopher, I've had one of those in the past and they are great! It's virtually impossible to hear this machine - it is really quiet. I don't know how warm do you want the mist to be, but it does get warm enough for my room and for my taste. It is also really easy to keep clean and is good quality. As an added bonus it has cool blue light around the bottom and if it bothers you - you can shut it off by touching the "cool light" logo at the bottom of the humidifier. Let me know if you need any more info. Alex

Yes, it works for that size room and is so quiet that I am unaware of it. I keep it in my living room and have another humidifier in my bedroom. White dust has never been a problem, but it needs to be cleaned regularly with cotton swabs to avoid build up of particles in the water that build up an orangey residue.

Yes, all humidifiers blow hot air. Unfortunately, that is how they work. We have had to decide if we wanted less humidity or less heat. We vary the use depending on the season. I hope this is helpful.

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.

Cool mist humidifiers are good for just increasing humidity without increasing the temperature. Warm humidifiers are good decongestants -- the warm moist air helps with this -- but they also really heat up the surrounding area and can be more dangerous because of this (I wouldn't run a warm one when nobody is home).

Hi Shannon. In my opinion, you would probably need at least 3 of these to provide an adequate level of humidity for a cooler of that size. These Xikar humidifiers work much better than most cheaper brands. Note: You should never esimate how many humidifier units you need based on the number of cigars they're rated for. Those ratings are calculated based on the smallest sized cigars. Also, please keep in mind that a drier environment like Arizona, or a New York winter, will make it a lot harder to keep a humidor at an optimal level of humidity. So, based on these variables, I'd recommend 3 to 4 units. And please ensure that you use the right liquid to get the best performance.. Hi Shannon.

It is the type of humidifiers you either soak in distilled water or humi fluid.It's kinda like that floral sponge meteralit depends on if your using distilled water or Glycol Solution but every couple weeks or when it starts to dry out (depends on how well the humidor was seasoned)id recommend getting a digital hygrometer and getting 72% boveda humi-packs (only have to change them out every two months or so)do some looking in to them they work great for me.

I have a gauge that detects humidity in the house and it changes when I run the humidifier, plus there is less static electricity in the air. No vapor because it's cold air. No condensation because it has an automatic shut off feature when it reaches the level of humidity that you preset.

No. You only use salt with a warm air vaporizer if you have the kind of water that doesn't produce much steam on its own. You don't use salt with a cool mist humidifier, ever. I have two of these small personal cool air humidifiers and find them very useful for small rooms, or to use next to the bed while you sleep.

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.Vornado Evap40 4-Gallon Evaporative Humidifier This is up to you, Mary, since the heater doesn't have a water tray to add moisture to the air.

Now I am getting a little confused myself. I found out that there are other FPA models that provide a humidifier function too... Sorry, not much help.

I used this product all winter and never noticed a smell from the humidifier. I have allergies and I am sensitive to odors and would have been disturbed if the air had a smell. I am planning to buy this again when i run out.

I use three of them in addition to the humidifier that came with my humidor. I try to obtain 70% humidity..... With that being said, I was given a larger humidor recently. The humidifier that came with it plus the three drymistat humidifiers would only raise the humidity to 62%. So, I ordered yesterday this in hopes it will help raise the humidity..... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PUWHJC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck!

This is a small personal device. You will notice effects if you are close by, but the humidifier will not be effective in a large room with high ceilings. The essential oils will diffuse throughout the room, though.
