Vornado Energy Smart Evaporative Humidifier

The Vornado EV200 uses natural evaporation to humidify the air, which prevents the release of white mineral dust and visible mist often associated with ultrasonic models. This process creates a cleaner output by trapping minerals in the wick before the moisture is circulated into your room.

Yes, this model uses a wick to facilitate the evaporative process, which will need to be replaced periodically depending on your water quality and usage. While the unit is designed for easy maintenance, the wick is a consumable part essential for optimal performance.

The EV200 features three fan settings, allowing you to adjust the noise level to your preference. On the lowest setting, it operates quietly enough for most users to sleep comfortably, though the higher settings will produce more airflow noise.

The unit features a built-in low water indicator that alerts you when the tanks are empty. Additionally, the device includes an automatic shut-off feature, so it will stop running once the water level is depleted to ensure safety.

The EV200 includes an electronic humidistat that allows you to set your desired humidity level. Once the room reaches your selected setting, the unit will automatically adjust its output to maintain that level, preventing over-humidification.

The 700-square-foot rating is based on optimal conditions with good airflow. In an open floor plan, the unit will effectively circulate moisture, but performance may vary depending on your home's layout, ceiling height, and existing humidity levels.
