Vincent Smith, engineer: We turned Aprilaire Steam Humidifier Model 800 on a week ago. The first hour that we had it on it brought the humidity up inside the house from 33 percent to 44 in about an hour. It's been working perfectly. As far as what noise it makes in the garage you hear the clicks of the phil solenoid and the drain solenoid cutting on and off. Not loud. I mean it's just a little quick but I got to tell you the sound of the boiling water inside the canister is actually a very soothing noise.

The one I've installed here is the model 800 where the steam pipe goes into your furnace ductwork. The Aprilaire does make a model 865 that has what it calls a fan unit that you mount into a wall inside your house somewhere and you run the steam pipe to it and it has the steam manifold inside that little unit in the wall and a fan that blows the steam out into the house. Now that works great if say your house has baseboard heat or some type of heat where you don't have duct work then that's your option. The downside of that is all the humidity is being applied to the house or being injected into the house in one location instead of from every vent in the house. But it's an option there for you if you have that type of heating system. In the end we are very satisfied with this unit. If you need a humidifier even if your furnace is in the basement and you don't have the concern with the water line freezing up in the attic I would go with this unit.

Two houses ago I had a house that had a humidifier on the ductwork in the basement of the house and it was one of those ones that had the the sponges that wick the water up and it blows the air across them the downside of those. And what I really don't like about them is there's a reservoir of water in there that stays full all the time. You've got those sponges or the rotating discs or whatever you've got that stay wet all the time. It's going to be full of mold and mildew and crawdads and bass and whatever else grows inside of something like that. Because think about it it's in a nice heated environment. So I would recommend this because the only reservoir is the the canister inside that unit and guess what it's heated up to boiling several times a day so anything that's in there is going to get killed all through that process. I would venture to say this is much more hygienic than any other kind of humidifier you can mount into your furnace. So very happy with it. Recommend it for that.

Harli G: " Personally I have two of these Levoit LV 600 humidifiers in my house. The first thing I really like about this one is that you can change the humidity you want your house to be kept at. If the humidity drops below that percentage then your humidifier is automatically going to kick on and run until it reads that the room is that humidity. Another feature I really really like is that there is a cool a warm and then a warmer mist settings. The warmer the mist the quicker it works to up that percentage of humidity in the air. I personally prefer to keep it on the warm mist setting. My plants seem to especially love the warm mist as opposed to the coolness. Recently we ran it off literally all night long until it was like 75% in here on the warm mist and I have never slept better in my life. That warm mist works wonders. My skin loves it too.

And then the other feature I really really love that drew me specifically to this humidifier is the fact that it has a six liter tank. I didn't want a humidifier where I was going to have to be filling it up every single day. If you run it at the one setting which is what I prefer to do you can run your humidifier for 36 hours straight before the tank will run out of water. Now on the one setting the warmest and then keeping it between 50 to 55 percent humidity I am having to change the tank maybe once every week week-and-a-half ish. It has this little piece on the top which is where the mist comes out of top of. it actually has two nozzles that rotate 360. I love this feature this isn't really something I paid attention to while I was deciding which humidifier I wanted. Now that I have it I don't think I would ever get a humidifier that doesn't have something like this. So you can if you want the stream to be turned in one direction focusing it on say a certain section of plants you can turn them both one way or you can turn them opposite ways so some mist is going to one side of the room and some mist is going to the other. That's really handy. It just pops right into place.

Another thing I really like especially because I do keep one of these in my bedroom right now I really like the fact that you can hold down the auto button for three seconds and it'll turn off the display. The first few nights I didn't know about that setting and the blue light was kind of bothering me but now that solves the problem. Another nice thing is they do come with remote controls. So if I decide I want to change a setting on my humidifier in the middle of the night I can go ahead and just not have to get out of bed. I can just run it with this remote which is really awesome. Makes it super easy. I do highly highly recommend it. I personally think it's really really worth the money even though it is a bit more pricey than your typical humidifiers. But especially for us houseplant enthusiasts who collect uncommon houseplants and rare houseplants or just once in general that we want to be extremely happy it is for sure worth spending the money in my opinion."
