Believe it or not, the air can get quite dry in Florida, especially in January and February. The humidity here and now in Central Florida is 36%. That’s dry air by any standard. Start using the heat pump when the temperatures drop below 65 and you’ll get extremely dry air. I have one Lěvoit hybrid humidifier that doesn’t quite get the job done and am strongly considering purchasing one of these.
I stopped using my ultrasonic humidifier because it put minerals from the water in the air and quickly clogged my furnace air filter. The filter didn’t appear clogged because the minerals are about the same color as the filter media. The clogged filter restricted air flow and the furnace overheated and tripped the limit switch.
Bottom line, if you use an ultrasonic, change the furnace filter every 2-3 weeks.
@SnookerDave@werehatrack When I need distilled water instead of buying it I use the water from my dehumidifier. So I can set this next to it and have the dehumidifier drain hose feed the humidifier tank and have a closed loop system, except the part about electricity feeding it
I got so excited when I saw the picture in my email–I thought “Personal jet packs are finally here! It’s not a flying car, but it’ll do in the meantime.” The shock and sadness I felt at seeing a lousy humidifier are just too much. I might have to sue Meh for emotional distress and suffering.
I bought one of these from SideDeal a while ago. I really like it. It’s a top filler. The light can be turned off. You can unplug it at the base for easy cleaning.
The only possible downside is that even the lowest setting is a lot of vapor. It makes my plants happy though.

@sl_woodard
Try Salt Lake City, where 36% would be considered sodden. The typical humidity there runs around 10% or less.
I grew up in Miami. There, the humidity is closer to “you need scuba gear” than “you need a humidifier”.
@sl_woodard so you mean the ideal humidity?
hello BOC.
@bfg9000
I think you are thinking of that thing thought up by that other thing before this thing became that thing…
Where are the (radioactive) glowing pictures?
OH MY GOD, THEY IGNORED GLEN!
@werehatrack Glen ignored bright hangry sonic as well.
No more swamp cooler, I meh need this now.

@SnookerDave
Or use distilled water, which doesn’t do that.

@SnookerDave
You are a very silly person, and that is not a bad thing.
And I tagged the wrong person there. @oldmantick is the correct target.
Can you put essential oils in these?
Can the light be turned off?
@rdcarpen Yup

@lisagd Sarah, is that you?

@arielleslie is it easy to clean? I’m so tired of humidifiers that get moldy in the nooks and crannies where you can’t get it out.
@jazzdongs Relatively speaking. Cleaning humidifiers is always kind of a pain, but this one is a little less trouble.

I already have a very effective humidifier. It’s called Flori-duh…
@MrNews have you met @sl_woodard
