The humidifier¡¯s evaporative system utilizes unheated, natural, evaporated water, which requires significantly less energy than warm mist or steam units. Other benefits of the evaporative system include: no white dust, spray, or mist deposits on furniture or floors; it prevents skin, eyes, plants, and furniture from becoming overly dry; by reducing static electricity in the air, it protects computers and electronics. This humidifier¡¯s water reservoir holds and disperses up to 8 gallons of water per day into the air, and refills easily and neatly. 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, and the evaporative wick, which filters out mineral deposits, also lifts out for replacing. A variety of settings on the humidistat dial allow you to select your preferred humidity. The humidistat automatically turns itself on and off to maintain the set humidity level. Also, the humidifier¡¯s fan offers two settings--low and high. The unit functions without any pulleys, belts, or wheels, making its operation fairly quiet. The humidifier measures 18 by 12-1/2 by 21 inches, with casters on the base so it easily rolls from room to room. Bemis covers this unit under a one-year limited warranty.
