Review on PowerPure 5000 Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic 💧 Humidifier with Permanent Filter, LCD Display, Remote Control - Black by Tania Monae

The looks, performance and options of this device are ridiculously awesome. It's very well designed. We have a 2800 sq ft house with an enclosed above ground room plus an additional 1200 sq ft basement that is passively dehumidified/humidified by an air conditioner. In addition to the Crane Driplet Humidifiers we use in our kids' rooms during the dry months, we recently purchased this unit to work with a new downstairs whole house wick evaporative humidifier that aims to draw moisture into the bring to public areas. It is therefore easy for me to compare the Power Pure 5000 with these devices. We use it in our 700 square foot master bedroom and that is what this square foot unit is designed for. Our master bedroom is the fastest humidifier in the house when all the appliances are on and all the doors are closed. Upon delivery I took it out of the box and turned it on around 4pm on a very cold and dry day. . The humidity at home was 27%. Settings: full power, warm mist, deionization (which helps smother nasty stuff out of the air, like a filter on an evaporation wick). That night my wife and I decided to go to bed around 9pm and watch TV in bed. After a few hours, we didn't notice any more cracking joints, itchy feet, or dry coughs (we haven't used a humidifier in the house yet). Our skin also felt behind the baby! I refilled the device before bed and left it high. The next morning I had 48% humidity on a separate hygrometer across from the room and the tank was empty. I love the fact that this bad boy has no maintenance costs and is quiet. Gentle water ripples here from time to time. How often depends on your output level. The matte plastic feels very nice and the controls and display are great. The remote control is cool too, but I don't use it. Another review complained that the water level was difficult to see but I didn't find that to be the case at all, even in a dark room there is a blue/red LED light in the tank which provides ample illumination. The reservoir light gives off a soft glow and the display stays on the whole time while the device is inside, but it doesn't irritate your eyes when the room is dark and it's not noticeable at all when you close your eyes to sleep . However, I wouldn't put this device right next to your bed, face down while you sleep. I would not use the automatic function. As with any humidifier with a wired hygrometer, you will get abnormally high readings that are inevitable. My advice would be to look at the humidity reading on your thermostat or like me use an ACCURITE hygrometer and avoid condensation on the windows if the unit is running all the time. I would just use the lowest output setting as that will do. When you're running at high power, the top of the device is going to get sweaty simply because of the amount of fog this thing produces. That's perhaps my only real complaint, that one day I noticed a drip running down the control panel causing the controls to become misaligned. The control panel is sensitive. A rare occurrence and my fault for keeping the device on high power for too long. With that in mind, it would be a good idea to place this unit on the floor and on a raised countertop with a tray underneath to protect your furniture. a system that can be placed under the kitchen/laundry/household sink and uses the demineralized water from it, avoiding the white dust that everyone complains about when using ultrasonic humidifiers. A simple but quality all-in-one system that comes with a compressed air tank to store pressurized water should cost around $100-$150 on eBay. They're also surprisingly easy to install. Sounds like a huge and unnecessary investment until you figure out what else you can use reverse osmosis water for: coffee/espresso making, fridge ice makers, delicious iced teas, pressure washers, not to mention craft beer - but I digress. . Otherwise, it can be a sharp trade-off between mineral dust or the noise of an airplane cabin ventilation system with an evaporative wick humidifier near your sleeping quarters. There is no normal solution. I highly recommend it for a large bedroom, small attic, apartment or closed room/living room for comfortable TV viewing.
