Product review summary
This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.
The Vornado Evap40 4-Gallon Evaporative Humidifier is a solid performer that delivers on performance claims. It features large dual wicks and a powerful, relatively quiet vertical vortex fan that generate ample moist air and circulation. The large, transparent tanks with horizontal filling and handles allow for fewer refills, easy monitoring of water levels, easy filling at the tap, and easier transport. The wicks capture the bulk of hard water minerals, avoiding the fine chalky “white dust” phenomenon of other types, while also reducing the frequency and difficulty of cleaning the unit’s interior. The unit senses how much humidity and circulation is needed to maintain your ideal environment and makes adjustments automatically.
Pros:
- Large capacity
- Effective humidification up to 1,000 sq. ft.
- Easy-to-use control panel
- Low maintenance
- Intelligently consistent comfort
- Humidify the way nature intended
Cons:
- Overpriced, limited-life consumable wicks
- Thinner replacement wicks have less surface area
- Company remains silent on wick issues
- Wicks may last shorter than claimed
