Tools and Hardware Reviews of Essick Air H12-300 3-Speed Evaporative Console Humidifier, Light Oak
Customer Review: Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
This humidifier is attractive, runs quietly and effectively adds moisture to the air in our home. We have a total of about 1000 sf and it does a great job. When we first got it, it appeared that the cover that goes over the tank was missing--we later found it, but initially contacted the seller (via Amazon) and have NEVER heard from them. I'm glad we found the part, but do wonder what would happen if we ever have problems with the unit??Customer Review: It's a humdifier

It comes assembled, but you need to disassemble to remove the packing. You would have to do this anyhow to clean it before first use, so this isn't a negative. Filled it with water and some anti-bacterial solution and turned it on. House went from 20% to 45% relative humidity within a day on medimum fan speed. The unit is upstairs in the largest part of a 3800 sq ft house. High fan speed is noisy. Medium is loud but bearable. Low is nearly silent. When you move air with a fan, you'll get noise. If you want a silent humidifier, you'll need to get one that is installed inline with your furnace/AC fan (spelled $$$).
Construction is basic... plastic. Some may say it's cheap, but I say it's easy to clean. Remove the fan housing (simply lift it off the base), remove the filter and you have a big plastic box that is easy to clean. I like it. Fan is also easy to access for cleaning.
I have another humidifier on it's way because I thought I would need two for a house this large. Probably could have gotten away with this one alone, but I'll run both on low fan speed and reduce the time they are on, indirectly increasing the life of each... I hope.
Customer Review: Nice piece,great addition to house.

Got this about 1 year ago and it does a great job. Before I was buying a new humidifier every year and decided to go with something bigger that would do the job. My husband complains that it is too big but it gets the job done. We heat with coal (hot water baseboard heat)and the air in our house through the winter is very dry and causes dry skin. So this has been a great asset to have in our house. The fan is a little noisey but the water container is a good size. Wish the filling process was a little better designed but over all I would buy again.Customer Review: Satisfaction with one reservation

Essick's whole house humidifier successfully keeps our 2200 square foot home at 50% humidity. Refilling its 2.5 gallon water bottle is simple, required about every 12 hours. Operation is quiet and the unit fits room decor. Initial assembly presented one problem: the unit didn't operate owing to failure of the electromechanical sensor for water level in the pan. All attempts to follow troubleshooting instructions for this feature failed. So, owner had to defeat the level sensor by bypassing the sensor switch. No adverse effects of this have been noted, other than the fact that owner must check water level every 12 hours or so.Customer Review: Worked good for three months.

Worked well until the blower motor went out. It now gets hot when plugged in but will not spin. This product work well until it broke. now to get it replaced I must pay to have it packed and shipped back. Then they say they will test and if bad replace with me paying shipping. Just doesnt seem fair. I do not have the time to wait for testing so I am going to buy a different brand. maybe from a company that will send me a new product until they are able to verify what I a saying is true.
