I believe that is correct. I have the manual control and prefer it. You only adjust it a few times a year. One less computerized thing to worry about breaking.

The only difference between a 600M and a 600A is the type of humidistat included. If you are going to be hooking this humidifier up to a Honeywell IAQ, Ecobee EB-STAT-02, Lennox iComfort, or any similar thermostat that can control humidity then you are better off purchasing the 600M because you won't be using the included humidistat anyway and the Manual Control (referring to the humidistat) is typically cheaper.

The only difference between the 600M and 600A is the humidistat control. The M is manual control and the A is automatic control.

I don't know, should be on the website, but I can say I do love mine. I use it every night fir the humidifier part of it. When I'm ready to go to sleep, just turn off the light. I still have not bought any aroma for it but sure it would be nice.

My home build in 1995, fairly tight construction and well insulated. ,my previous whole house was drum type humidifier that had constant standing water and did not really do a good job of regulating the humidity. very happy with the Aprilaire unit. has been installed for a month and the condensation on the windows is gone, more comfortable in the house now. The unit only uses water when the controller calls for humidity and with the outdoor sensor this seems to regulate the humidity even more. Pretty much hands off with this unit after the first week of adjusting the humidity controller to my liking. I live in Michigan and the winter this year very cold. Very pleased with this unit and if it ever fails will purchase the same type to replace

We bought a Honeywell 980. When it came it did not work. It cost $94 to send it back. We also have a Edenpure. No problems with that one for 4 years. Buy one from a store where you can return it.We just bough one from Walmart. Works great.

This unit does not control humidification at all. Amazon has the item incorrectly listed. The TH8110R1008 is a 1heat/1cool thermostat that provides temperature control only.

I went to Honeywell, WalMart and Amazon and searched all of them. I have a small one and wanted another like it for another room, but they no longer made it, so I opt for a little bigger one which I am glad I did. Watch they are on sale quite frequently. I think I paid $129.00 or so for the bigger one and it is wonderful. Depends what you want it for. They both have changeable filters on them and a 5 year HEPA filter.

We aren't sure. My husband says the manual is online. The control is mechanical (dial). We are loving it!! It took our humidity in our basement from 80% to 38% rapidly!

I don't think it will make any difference as long as it is installed on the return duct , in my case , I installed the humidistat about 5 feet from the main unit which is the aprilaire 700 and it's been working like a charm for me specially when I used that outdoor sensor that came with the unit . I hope I was helpfull

I do agree that a large console humidifier might work better - but I have a very large bedroom and live in a dry winter climate - it does a great job for me. I also have radiator heat and it gets so dry without the humidifier. I purchased a small temp/humidifier display and this Honeywell raises my humidity quickly - within an hour. It will empty completely for me in a 24 hour period. Hope that helps.

Yes but it does not necessarily give an accurate reading. I believe that it gives a high reading most of the time when I have compared it with another non digital humidistat. But you can set it to turn off automatically at a certain reading.

We had a Honeywell in our previous older house and loved it. I looked online but it doesn't look like they offer that model anymore. The Honeywell we had was purchased and installed in 1995. We have built a new home and installed the Aprilair, because the reviews were great. We don't think the Aprilair filters as well as the old Honeywell we had. I'm not much help, sorry. I will say if you get one that works as well as the old Honeywell we had my answer would be, "Yes, it's worth it!"

I love my Honeywell humidifieir. I had spent almost 200 on an Air O Swiss one and wish I would have ordered this one first. It did the whole apartment. I would order the filters when you put in order.

Mine looks like the picture but mine is not digital. Mine does keep a certain humidity level in the house depending on where I set the dial. A red light comes on when the tank is empty. I have used this for the last five years and so :-) of buy another if it goes out.

If looking to specifically add humidity to a room, A better bet is to look into actual humidifiers made for that purpose ( such as the Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier ). While this unit likely will add a certain degree of humidity to the air, it is for diffusing essential oils. The product description states it holds a large amount of water at 500ml (a standard water bottle holds 500ml or 16.9 ounces). This seems to be true based on the research I have done --- for diffusers --- but for a humidifier one should, I would think, be looking for a water capacity of 1 gallon or more for a small room on up in size.

I would suspect that yes, you need to replace your humidistat. I have an Aprilaire humidifier and my digital humidistat went bad. Since my humidifier was aging, I replaced it also. I went back to the "manual" humidistat since it's simple and no electronics to go bad. The only thing the digital humidistat buys you is an outdoor temperature sensor (thermocouple) that automatically adjusts the setting based on the outdoor temperature ...sounds good but not that big of a deal. I set my manual humidistat a couple times ...when I expect the temperature to routinely get below 20 deg and then when I expect it to be above 20 deg. Never had a problem with that. Good luck!

I'm not sure my unit is over 7 years old I did alot of reading back then try "http://www.aprilaire.com/index.php?znfAction=ProductDetails&category;=7&item;=5000" for complete specs.(I don't think so)

Yes, this humidifier should have an owner's manual in the packaging. Here is a link to a PDF file that contains the manual for this particular unit. Hope that this helps: http://www.essickair.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/om_humid_-427-696-697.pdf
