Does the mist go in whole room? Even when this is on full power, the mist goes up only around 2.5 feet high and then seems like falling down.

When the machine worked, yes, it increased the humidity of the entire room.That's how humidifiers work. Of course, you'll always see a concentration of water vapor initially coming out of any humidifier. Then, the water vapor will disperse relatively evenly throughout the room.

You only see it a few feet, but with the ceiling fan on, my humidity meter about 15 feet away in another room measured 7% higher humidity after about 6 hours of day use. After the overnight with it off, went back down 6 percent, so to keep the levels up, you might have to run it pretty continuously. That said our house is dry, we run a large fireplace insert. I've heard once you get more humidity in the house for a couple weeks it's easier to maintain, I think the floors walls furniture etc absorb some water over time if they are dry.

if you have it on full power, make sure you check directly underneath the humidifier. if this area is wet, then the air in the room is already saturated, and you should run the humidifier at a lower setting. if its still dry, your water vapor should be dispersing itself on its own

The moisture content of the whole room is affected even though you only see the mist come out a little.

I have no scientific way to measure how far and wide the mist disperses but it feels like it is making the air in the room more moist. I'm guessing that the further away from the device the less moist the air becomes. I will tell you that I chose the Cranes (I have 4) base on very positive tests conducted by Consumer Reports.

On the lower setting, it seems to get distributed. WE also have a ceiling fan in the room that we often run, so that might help. My daughter has not had a nose bleed since we got it. So, it seems to be working.

The mist spews from the top and is visually apparent for about 2-3 feet. We have a hygrometer in our bedroom to see if it is actually working. The meter goes up 2-10% and quickly after using the humidifier. Our room has to be at least 20x20 (large room). We have had other (digital and with more bells and whistles) humidifiers and they have not seemed to work as well.

The visible "fog" never filled the entire room... Mine looked about the way you described it, with mist going up a couple feet and then falling. However, the relative humidity in the entire house did go up over time. I know that because the sensor that reads relative humidity was in a different location in the house. If you have good air circulation in your house, things should be fairly constant throughout... But obviously it will be wetter directly in the flow of mist from the unit.

I haven't measured the humidity in various parts of the room. The mist definitely dissipates within a 3 foot radius, but it still likely has humidifying effects beyond that. It will depend on the size of your room as to how much the total humidity is affected. This product works well for me because I'm just trying to get some relief when I sleep. I pull it up fairly close to my bed, point it at my head and I can feel the difference. It doesn't make anything wet though which is good.

Nope! It is a very fine mist and with any circulation of air you won't have any trouble. Really great humidifier for small room or travel!

I'm not sure what the problem could be, I have not had any problems like that. Be sure the mist does not come too close to furniture or any thing else. Other than that, I really don't know what it could be.

I have a 630 sq ft. bathroom and had the fan installed and vented by an electrician, but it just does not seem to move the air quick enough. I also painted the bathroom, but now the walls look like a melting candle, with the steamy water dripping and causing the paint to bleed. What gives?

I use this in my bedroom at night, and set it on a wood side table. I have not had any problems with condensation on the table or anything around the diffuser. The mist it emits is so fine that it doesn't seem to settle anywhere in particular, just diffuse into the air.

It works pretty well in a small room. It exchanges the air over a period of time. I don't think it works well when there is lots of humidity outside. This is not a high velocity fan!

The different light colors have a high and low, but the actual mist level does not. You really don't need it to have one though because if you put it in a small room it works exactly as it is suppose to.

no, you cannot adjust the amount of mist. it's just a steady stream the whole time. And the item will turn off after certain amount of time. I've been incredibly happy with this purchase!

I'm sorry but ours doesn't do that at all. It works perfectly and only comes on as needed to get the room to temperature. I've never noticed it coming on for 2 seconds or less and going off, etc.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

It really depends on the setting you put it on. This particular humidifier allows you to adjust the humidity level and it regulates itself to keep the rooms humidity consistent with the setting. We have out the humidity at 50% and the rug was damp. I suggest putting a towel in the direction the mist is blowing. Please don't let that deter you from purchasing this humidifier!! This is the only humidifier that we have found that works and works well!!! We absolutely love it!

yes it does. When it runs low , the lights begin to flash and it then shuts down. I am very pleased with it as a matter of fact and with the three mist settings it can run up to three hours.

The bottle went up at least 2 stories if not higher. It was dependent on how much water you put in and how much air you pumped. My grand boys, 9 and 5 thought it was was awesome. They have a big back yard and it flew into all the neighbors yards so it just doesn't go straight up. Thank goodness they have great neighbors.

No, it hangs about two feet from the ceiling and is very powerful. You'd be in a major downdraft and you wouldn't want to raise your hand above your head. With a high enough ceiling, it is a great fan, just don't leave loose papers around.

I never saw any mist come out but I did smell the vapor. Like some of the others have mentioned this doesn't serve he purpose of neither a dehumidifier or an air cleaner...it probably puts out maybe 2 tablespoons of water per day. To answer your question, unfortunately I would probably have to say yes it's normal.

I do. I figure the water only gets "shaken" to make the mist, it is ok. I did notice, that if you only fill it to the 80 mark and not 100, it produces more mist. Im buying another I am so happy with the one I got. :)

That's about how high you can see the mist go, but the oils stay suspended in the air for quite awhile... Up to a few hours.
