Product Description

The Essick Air H12 300HB is designed to humidify an entire house-up to 2,500 square feet. Using an evaporative system and unheated, natural, evaporated water, this humidifier requires less energy than warm mist or steam units. You also won't have to deal with white dust, spray, or mist on furniture or floors. Other benefits of the evaporative system include: relief from symptoms of dry skin, itchy eyes, chapped lips and scratchy throat; it prevents plants and furniture from becoming overly dry; and reduced static electricity protects computers and electronics. This humidifier's water bottle holds 5 gallons and disperses up to 12 gallons of water per day, refilling easily and neatly in the sink via an included hose. Cleaning the rest of the appliance is just as simple: the power unit lifts off the top of the humidifier for easy cleaning and servicing, while the evaporative wick, which filters out mineral deposits, also lifts out for replacing. Essick's offers analog controls and a digital readout that provide easy operation and worry-free monitoring of the unit's status as this model will automatically turn itself on and off to maintain the chosen humidity level. In addition, the humidifier's fan offers 4 speed settings. This humidifier measures 23-1/2 by 13-3/4 by 21-3/4 Inches, with casters on the bottom for easy rolling from room to room. Essick's covers this unit under a 2-year on motor/1-year components warranty (Less wicks and filters). Contemporary style and full-size performance in a midsize humidifier.

Essick Air H12-300HB 4-Speed Whole House Evaporative Console Humidifier, Light Oak, Black Trim Review

Ordered two units. Had to ship one back when lowest speed setting didn't work. While 2 orders is admittedly a tiny sample, that is a 50% failure rate.

If you live in the southwestern US you'll probably be familiar with a swamp cooler. Although this unit is not advertised specifically to cool the air, it's basically the same design: water is drawn up into a filter to saturate it and then a fan blows (or in this case sucks) air through the filter leading to evaporation. It sucks dry warm air in through the back of the unit and through the filter and sends damp cooler air out the top. This unit is all plastic and as a result some parts are a bit flimsy but it looks fine and gets the job done.

The only real design issue is the float. The float attaches to the filter with one end sitting in the bottom of the unit with the water. The other end of the float mechanism extends up into the electronics of the unit inside the hood where it triggers a little switch. This is a simple and effective method to automatically turn the unit (fan) off when the water runs out. The problem is that when you take the hood off the unit (to clean for example) when you replace the hood it is somewhat tricky to position the float correctly so that it moves freely with the water level and properly triggers the switch. Removing the float mechanism entirely would disable the unit since it only turns 'on' when the float is 'up' and triggering the switch.

You may also get confused when the unit initially won't turn 'on' as the water is coming out of the bottle and filling the empty base of the unit. The water has to get up to a certain level in the bottom of the unit before the float will rise high enough to trigger the switch allowing the fan to turn on - which can take a few minutes.

Depending on how you use it, the float may not be a problem for you. We empty and clean the unit and filter regularly as per the directions to prevent mold and bacteria growth. The downside is that we also frequently run into the float position and refill delay (Did I position the float wrong again or is not full enough yet? Maybe the fan control doesn't work like that one we had to send back?!)
