Very dissatisfied with this product

So they are not telling you that this product is not recommended for high efficiency stoves. (I spoke to the company's customer service, they have no way of getting my money back as they didn't sell me the unit. I ended up buying a 600M and it works great.) I recently had my oven repaired after one This unit was in place within 3 months and this design brought the technology back completely. They told me to replace this device with a traditional humidifier that constantly lets water through…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not sure

No warranty support. Poor quality plastic.

Manufacturing defects and no support. This is the second one I've ordered. On the first, the tabs on the water plate frame were broken and wouldn't close. I sent this back and got this one which also had issues with the plastic grommets on the water plate frame. This snapped into place, but did not remain in the housing. Since it was the end of the season and my sinuses were killing me I needed moisture and decided to put it in and hopefully get a part from the manufacturer. There is no such…

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Works great but part is missing

Humidifier works great but poppet valve was missing. can you send it to me please I reused my old one but want to use it somewhere else with my old humidifier. 2 weeks later the seller didn't respond to my review to ship the missing part and Revain had no choice but to send it back. Maybe they will react if I downgrade my rating. The humidifier replaced an almost identical 600 or 700 (can't remember) that didn't have a reservoir and unused water just went down the drain. So we hardly used it. I

  • Looks good

Definitely an improvement

I don't have a plumbing or electrical background but I love reading instructions and understanding everything. I was able to install it myself in a day after going to the hardware store to get the materials listed in the instructions. At least *think* I could set it up very well. Prior to installation, the home here in Minnesota was in its teens or even lower during the winter. After installation in the house, it is usually around 20 degrees when the hygrostat is at full power. Definitely an…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • embarrassing

Works better after minor modifications

Float switch shuts off water once the absorption tray is half full, leaving the absorption filter quite dry in some places on the absorption filter, resulting in little moisture being produced. The water in the sump is cooled, which also contributes to poor indoor humidity. A week ago in Michigan it was 20 degrees and the relative humidity (RH) was 26%. Not high enough to avoid static electricity, dry hands and throat. I would leave the fan on at the thermostat to run the fan all the time…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • No paint required

I was looking to replace an Aprilaire 560 Series humidifier that was draining excess water into a drain pan in my basement. I felt like I was wasting 750 gallons of water every year, not to mention having problems with clogged floor drains if I didn't clean it out from time to time. I was hesitant to try the 400 series design, which was reported to be just as effective with no water loss, but I ended up doing it. God I'm glad I tried. Pulling out the old model and putting this one in was easy…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Defective Humidifier

Disclaimer: I only installed the filter housing assembly and did not use the included controller, transformer or water valve. Instead I use my Ecobee4 for power and humidity control and also used a 1/4 turn tee valve on the water line. The first problem is that the installation instructions and wiring diagrams are very basic. This product isn't difficult to install if you have basic DIY skills, but it certainly didn't make things easy for you. In fact, I used Honeywell's humidifier manuals to…

400M has a poorly designed water plate

I used to have another manual model (500m) that drained constantly. Although it was designed for a house of 3000 square meters. foot, it could never keep the humidity level in our 1600 square feet. ft. feet at home with a preferred relative humidity of 45%. Instead, the maximum can reach 38%. Additionally, it drained into the furnace's condensate pump, adding to energy costs and swamping wear and tear from constantly wasting water. and does not drip can be the ideal solution. One less bug and…

  • Good product for the price
Cons
