Life Saver!
Bought the first one during the great 2020 smoke out - to explain - live in Western Nevada where the California fires made life and work outside impossible without industrial grade respirator for over 8 weeks. The smoke INSIDE the house was almost as unbearable but with ALL air filters sold out in one day across the entire region I was jammed. BUT - water filter type humidifiers also filter the air passing through. I purchased one of these models and on HIGH it cleared the air in my house in about 6 hours. I have run it 24/7 since this last summer and it is going strong. Recent purchase was of a second unit and a change of filters. When California burns this coming season I am ready. As West Nevada is desert and near-desert the humidifier function is very helpful and no one has had night-time issues with the furnace or wood stove drying out the air this winter. I recommend this product as a humidifier AND auxiliary air filter for cleaner air. Also - given that the product is a small version of a roof-top water based cooling system (swamp cooler) it doubles as a cooling unit in the summer given the evaporative process utilized. By the way, it is very quiet on LOW and operates so sufficiently that LOW is where I keep the speed setting. Note - The water tank on this unit is easy to fill and does not leak while carrying it to and from the unit. The water tank design is the best I have seen in over 50 years of using water based filter systems. Again - this is my second unit - not sure how to give a better recommendation.

Great humidifier!
I’ve used a variety of humidifiers over the years. I prefer evaporative over ultrasonic. The Evap 3 has a humidistat, variable speed fan, easy to clean, customizable settings, is quiet on low speed, and an easy to fill tank. The tank stands to fill! I clean the entire thing once a week and replace the wicks as needed. If using in a bedroom you may need to cover the blue led indicator lights. I use mine in the living room, so the lights aren’t an issue. (Owned 4+ years)

Own 2 of These - Work Great
I have one on each level of my home, as the HVAC dries the air so much that it hurts my sinuses. They are very quiet on the low fan setting, but a little loud on the high setting so I keep them running consistently on low when I am in the house. I broke (my fault) the latch on one of the bases and customer service very graciously replaced the entire base. Very pleased with the product and the company.

the best humidifier!
I bought this to replace an old (not Vornado) humidifier.... it is perfect for my bedroom .. is easy to fill and I like the evaporative type because it does not leave the white dust on everything..

Gold standard for humidifiers
This is my second Vornado Evap3. One in the living room/dining room. One is the bedroom/dressing room. Quiet. The air in New Mexico is dry, and the Vornado makes the humidity exactly right, as if it is the natural level of humidity. I use tap water and change the filters about once a month. This may be my imagination, but it seems as if impurities in the air are filtered out. My father's family is from Kansas - I have cousins in Wichita, Hutchinson, Kingman, Salina -- and the Vornado quality, to me, reflects all that is good about Kansas.

Elegant and Easy to use
My humidifer is great. Quiet, easy to fill the reservoir, controls well situated and the choices are simple. I especially like being able to dial the amount of humidity desired, plus the automatic setting. My own complaint would be the the two blue led lights are really bright and fill the whole room with blue light. I like to sleep in darkness and I am not tip toeing in to check on children.
