Question: Anyone have experience with a large humidifier in a room with a hot wood burning stove. Need moisture!!!! Bad. Thanks
Document: It actually makes the air smell nicer, like a very light freshener.The unit is very quiet on the low setting, but as everyone else has noted, pretty darned loud on high. Use high only when you need to increase humidity in a hurry - otherwise low is sufficient on a 24 hr a day basis for my 2500 Sq foot, 2 level house (your mileage will vary).I have a wood burning stove in the house.
I have a fairly small house with a large room that I'm treating,18X24 which adjoins three other rooms slightly smaller rrooms downstairs. All the rooms are wood pannel, with hardwood floors (dry sponges). Heating is forced hot air (the worst for drying out) and I live in N.J. where this winter was extreemly cold, so the heat was excessive. In one week of running high by day and low by night I can now run it on low constantly and maintain 48-50rh.
With a new wick it puts a lot of water into the air (over 5 gallons a day in our room with a wood stove). We have a lot of minerals in our water and after a month or two the wick is well beyond it's prime. The replacement wicks cost about $17 so keep that cost in mind. The case is made of rather flimsy plastic and care must be exercised to get the top on correctly.
Great humidifier my boys stopped getting bloody noses from the wood stove almost immediately. Our house is over 2000 sq. ft.I little flimsy on the build but we've kept our boys from kicking it.No boys in the house? Quality will be just fine.
The wick holder plastic top tab should on the fill side of the top divider.At the low fan setting, this unit puts out about 2 or 3 gallons a day, depending on how hot and dry my house is. For my 1900 sq. foot house, I use two units, one for the living room and on in the bedroom. Without a humidifier, my house gets plenty dry in winter when the furnace is running.
I have had this humidifier for 3+ years and it just keeps on going. It is probably a little small for my 1800 sq. ft. home, but in Kentucky, it is rare that I need to add a lot of moisture to the air, so it is just fine.
On low, this humidifier keeps the room between 45 and 50%.I like that this humidifier has a large reservoir to hold the water, so I could, in theory, skip a day in refilling it (Something I often did with the Lasko). I haven't skipped a day though, because it is so easy to refill. Ah!As to the other complaints, since I am always refilling it, I'm hoping not to run into problems with the shut-off.
I was looking for a humidifier for my large family room (~1000 sf) and decided to purchase this after doing a significant amount of research into console humidifiers. Seemed like a great price for a humidifier that had features generally found only in more expensive units - namely a large capacity, auto off and a humidistat. When this thing arrived it quickly became obvious why it was so cheap. I got it completely setup, filled with water, and turned it on.
My old Duracraft humidifier broke after many years of use, and I looked for a long time to find another one that would hold a substantial amount of water without having to refill it several times a day. This unit has a nice large reservoir and works very well. The humidity indicator seems to be very accurate as I have checked it against another one that I have in my room. I use this in my bedroom to combat the dryness of central heat.
Got one of these when the old Sears humidifier died. We have two rooms with instruments that need steady humidity which New Mexico doesn't supply. It is so much quieter and easier to fill that I promptly ordered another for the 2nd room. Efficient and reliable out of the box so far.
Answer: Our Essick is in a room across the hall from the woodstove, but, as I'm sure you're aware, your entire house is dry when you heat with wood.   In the room where the Essick is located, the humdity remains a constant 45 degrees, exactlywhat we have the humdifier programmed for.  You'll go through a LOT of water - we refill ours daily, if not more often - and a lot of filters, usually 3-4 per winter.  Keep extras on hand, because it will stop working totally once the filter fails.
