Vornado element humidifier
I wanted a hot steam humidifier. My reason was,I have forced hot air heat.this kind of heating system burns up humidity quickly. The recovery time in my 1400 square house is 15 minutes at 46 percent. That’s not possible with an evapretive wick type. This humidifier is awesome. Trust me I’ve tried all.

The Winner - Hands Down!
Between work and home, I have 5 humidifiers (and one dehumidifier - it’s the South) in my life and this Vornado Element A2 is the best of the best. It’s small but extremely effective, easy to use, and somehow magically stays cleaner than the others, too. No wicks, no bulky parts - just pure efficiency across the board. Don’t hesitate to get one.

Quiet, powerful
This unit solved the problem of dry air in winter. It puts out gallons / day (as needed, detected by its humidistat) of warm moisture (the temperature can be selected from 3 settings). It operates very quietly.

Great design
Have had this for over a month now. Quiet operation, easy to set up. Nice design - tucks away and does its job.

Great Product and Excellent Customer Service
We've bee using this humidifier for a few weeks and really enjoy it - it's quiet and it's easy to use as well as easy to refill. We had issues with delivery as Fed Ex claimed it was delivered, but it wasn't, and then when Fed Ex opened a case they promptly closed it a week later saying they couldn't find the package. Vornado sent us a replacement humidifier, thus we weren't put out by FedEx's mistake, which is excellent customer service on the part of Vornado!

Loving my new Element A2
After having a different version of a Vornado humidifier for over 20 years, I upgraded to the Element A2. I am loving the easy fill tanks and the steam air. Choosing heated or cooled steam will be great during the season changes. Plus, I’m looking forward to not replacing filters, just normal regular cleanings. The soft lights are not intrusive in a dark room and there is barely any fan noise with which to contend. This new version is a winner.

Works perfectly for our needs!
We have owned this humidifier for a month and it works so well. Adds just the right amount of moisture to the air and operates quietly. I like all the different options, as well.

Excellent Quality, Lots of Features
I purchased this humidifier a month ago after returning several ultrasonic ones that left a white mist everywhere and didn't seem to help the bedroom much. The vornado is a game-changer. It keeps the entire room moist, without creating damp carpet spots or white mist on the furniture. You can choose cold, lukewarm or warm mist depending on your needs or preference. The unit is very easy to clean, but due to the steam, it does not require half the maintenance of other types of humidifiers. It is extremely easy to refill and efficient. I love this model and recommend it to anyone looking to humidify small to medium sized rooms.

A breeze to operate and keep the tanks clean!
I really love the clear tanks with the wide openings. I know immediately if there’s a water clarity issue. I’ve had mine a few weeks and run it 24/7 without issues. I set it at 50% humidity and let it go. I’ve cleaned the tanks twice but I keep a Protec Humidifier Cleaning Fish in each tank. When I saw the water was a little murky in one tank I broke everything down according to the manufacturers instructions, cleaned with bleach and reassembled. Next cleaning I’ll have to use distilled vinegar to remove buildup on the heating element. Considering it’s continuous running while my heat is on and ease of use in operation and filling the tanks, it’s the best of the 4 humidifiers I’ve owned.

Love it
I bought the A1 initially for a single room, and then loved it so much I bought the A2 for a bigger common room. Steam is the only way to go for a humidifier, and this is the best of the best -- and I did a lot of research on this before I made my purchase. Highly recommend.

Saving us from this dry winter weather!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been extremely happy with this humidifier. It's quiet and dispenses steam evenly without build up on our wood floors. So far we use it nightly in our kids rooms. The design is nice so we don't mind having it out all the time. We've been extremely happy with this humidifier.

Love this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely unlike any other Humidifiers I have used in the past. I love how efficient it is and that there is barely any noise to it. I also love the futuristic design and quality. It is built very tough compared to others I have used in the past. I have bought other humidifiers in the past and If this was on the market then I would have bought this one. I had never seen anything like this until I tried this one out. I'm so impressed with the functuality and durability. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high powered humidifier.

The best humidifier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My entire family loves this humidifier! There are a few features that really give this product a leading edge: temperature adjustment; humidity control; and 2-tank system. Since the Vornado steam humidifier allows user to adjust the output up to 70% humidity, this machine can move a lot of water in a short amount of time. We refill the tanks frequently. This would typically be an annoying task with out previous humidifiers, which all had one large, heavy tank. This machine is designed with 2 tall, slim tanks that are easy to carry & set into the sink! Even when a tank is full, they are still lightweight & easy to maintain! Additionally, the humidifier adequately covers the entire first floor of my home! I can't imagind that I'll find a better humidifier - I see this machine having a long future in our home! I highly recommend the Vornado Steam Humidifier to anyone!

Conveniently Designed Steam Humidifier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vornado Steam Humidifier is quieter than other humidifier models I've tried. I love that it has two tanks for the water (No more having to get up in the middle of the night to fill up the reservoir). It also has a compartment to put essential oils in to help to relax or provide some nice calming scents. Overall I would recommend this Vornado Steam humidifier to anyone looking to buy one. I was sent this unit for free in exchange for my honest review.

The Very Best Humidifier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit can adjust to your preference. It can provide cool steam or hot steam. I have not been able to adjust to warm steam but that does not affect my judgment. The unit allows for you to select the percentage of humidity you want. We set it to 50% and have kept the unit on cool steam due to the warmth of our area for this time of year. My most favorite part of the unit is the ability to add essential oils to a separate cup specifically made just for your oils. This unit works 1000 sq ft whic is perfect for our homes open floor plan. It is small, compact and looks good. It is not bulky or an eye sore. I love that the controls are fully adjustable and will cut off automatically when more water is needed to be added. The unit is easy to clean and does not have annoying filters to buy or change. I love this unit and am so happy to have in my home. Since we suffer from sinus infections this unit has been a blessing to cut the dry air and keep us all breathing well.

Love this humidifier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a daughter that is always getting a bloody nose. During the night she gets it everywhere. (Not fun waking up to a 6 year old screaming about all the blood) so when I got this humidifier i was super excited about the different settings from cold, medium, hot. The cold runs 24/7. She hasnt had a single bloody nose at night since plugging it in. Now my oldest is getting sick and we can still use the same humidifier on hot and the essential oil cup. The tanks last all night on 30% humidity. In small rooms on hot with higher humidity the machine gets to hot and shuts off. I really like that feature too!

Great quality humidifier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vornado Element A2 Air + Steam Humidifier is sleek, easy to use and excellent quality. The design is great - sleek enough to show off in the living room yet compact enough to easily store away when not in use. It's so simple to use, with large fill canisters so you don't have to continuously refill it. I love that it has an auto feature, so it can sense when there's enough humidity in the room. It's also awesome that you can easily add essential oils to freshen up the house and create a more relaxed environment. It works great enough that it provides enough moisture in my entire studio apartment, and if I were to move to a bigger residence, I would definitely consider buying an additional to get the same effects. Overall, I'd recommend this humidifier to anyone looking for an easy, safe and quality way to provide more humidity in the winter.

Versatile and Time Saving
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best thing about the Vornado Steam Humidifier is its versatility. It can change from cool mist to hot mist and even has a medium warm mist function. The fill canisters are simple to fill, with their easy twist on and off tops and they drop right into the unit. All of the functions are intuitive, including the percentage of humidity and timer controls. The only issue I found is the color difference between the cool and warm mist is not easily discernible as they are both a purplish color. Once activated, it fires up in no time, and it's not long before a room is at your desired humidity level. In a 12 x 13 room, running at 60% humidity, the canisters lasted about 15 minutes short of the advertised 12 hour advertised refill time. Not bad! In my home, this unit will likely take the place of three cheaper humidifiers and prevent many of the dry-air health problems that arise in the dead of a Midwestern winter.

Great buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed by how easy this product was to set-up. It's extremely quite, the manual was easy to read, and the features were well thought-out. Loved that it offered a piece to add aromatics (bought lavender oil to put in the holder, very relaxing). My Dad has sinus issues and he sleeps with this at night which really helps them feel less irritated in the morning.

Great humidifier; display does not dim
This is a fantastic humidifier. It makes an actual difference in the feel of the room. It's quiet and easy to keep clean and hygienic. My only disappointment with it is the display. In one of the product videos I watched before purchasing, it was advertised as dimming in response to the lighting of the room. Mine did not, and when I called Vornado Customer Service, the very nice rep told me that she'd asked the product designers who confirmed that the display was only supposed to dim "a little." This was annoying to me, because like most people, I want to use the humidifier in my room at night, and the light it produces is extremely bright. I had to cut out a piece of paperboard to cover it, and tape it to the humidifier. Not ideal. :/

It is Quiet
I bought this to replace a new evaporative model that broke. I really like the fact that there is no filter or wick that I have to purchase and replace every while. It does require cleaning about every few weeks more or less depending on your water. I didn't find it that hard to do. The first time I used it, I cranked it to max, I wouldn't recommend to do that, I got water all over my floor from all the condensation flowing over. I have not had any problem since. It seems to put a good amount of humidity into the air and is good to cover 2 rooms. Easy to refill. Buttons work well.

Cranks out tons of clean, mineral-free water vapor
No filters to replace, no wicks to clean or replace. This little wonder generates TONS of water vapor. ...enough to humidify about 1500sq. ft. The only drawback is because it's so good, you have to fill the tanks at least twice per day if it's running all the time. You'll also need to clean and descale it once a week (soak the power head for an hour in vinegar or descaling solution). The minerals in your water have to go somewhere! Boiling water also makes a little burbling noise but it's not intrusive. It's just not as quiet as an ultrasonic. ...But no minerals in the air and no "white dust" everywhere. Highly recommend this product.

I never knew I needed this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in a high rise building with floor to ceiling windows, which makes it really hot when the sun is out and really cold when its chilly outside. We are constantly drying out our home by having the A/C or heat running and it wears on us. We started using this Vornado humidifier and honestly, I have no idea how we slept comfortably without it. We set ours to 50 degrees humidity with a timer to only run at night - it's not loud! Its easy to use and very customizable. I also LOVE the aromatherapy feature. I am not big into essential oils, etc but we did start using this feature and love that we can have a pleasant, calming scent throughout our room. The one small complaint I had is that you can tell which steam temp you have chosen based off the color of the light. It will be purple, pink or red. There is pretty much no difference between the purple and pink so that's hard to tell.

Really nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Vornado steam humidifier for a week now. The pros that I have noticed are that it holds a lot of water, it is very quiet, and it has a nice design to it. The cons are that it is bulky and heavy (but it does hold a lot of water), and it is hard to tell if it is working when it is on the cool setting. When using the steam humidifier on the hot setting, it is really nice. You can hear the water steaming up and you can actually see it coming from the top. The essential oil cup is an amazing addition and really works well to smell up the entire room when you use it on the hot setting. However, it doesn't do anything when it is on the cool setting. Also, I have noticed that there are supposed to be 3 lights to signify which setting it is on. mine only shows a purple light, so it is hard to tell when it is on cool or warm. I like that it boils the water before dispersing it. This really helps with the mildew issue that a lot of humidifiers have. As far as humidifiers go, I think this is a pretty good one. The price is steep, but it has a lot of good qualities to it. I think that if Vornado worked out a few of the kinks, they could have a 5 star product here.

Great humidifier, with bonus features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been a long time customer of Vornado and appreciate the quality of their products. This model is more decorative than our previous black model and has larger water reservoirs. As expected it works great. As an added bonus you can add in essential oils for aromatherapy. We are really pleased with the product so far and look forward to using this next generation of humidifiers more this winter.

Versatile Humidifier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Vornado Element Air + Steam Humidifier for the past week. This is the best Humidifier I have ever owned. It has Hot ,Warm and cool air settings. It also has a aromatherapy scent cup. Which I love. My whole down stairs smells amazing. Comes assembled,easy to follow directions. You can adjust the humidity settings. Also has a auto button . I just use the auto button it senses how much moisture is needed. I like that you can set it for how long you want your humidifier to run.

Stopped working
I bought this about a month ago. First the handle snapped off while I was carrying a full tank back to the machine. It cracked so I wound up with water everywhere.
Then it just stopped working. They’re sending me a replacement which was very hassle free so at least they have the customer service thing down.
I just expected better quality especially at the price.

Leaked after a week of use
I bought this hoping to increase the humidity of my office. I have an "Awair" air quality monitor that gives my humidity measurements too. The Element A2 was unable to maintain any consistent humidity %, and would only work if set higher than 50% humidity, indicating that its hygrometer is inaccurate. But, that is livable, if annoying.
The other day, it suddenly started leaking. Thankfully I can see it from my desk because one of the tanks was emptying out and would have damaged our floor.
For a flagship, top of the line unit, this was extremely disappointing. I love my other Vornado products, but they are all fans. Maybe stick to the fans.

I would not recommend.
I bought the Element A2 Steam Humidifier on November 8th, it was delivered on November 15th. It was easy to setup. The problems began three days after it arrived. It turned itself off and displayed an error code of A2 which means that it is out of water. The only thing was that it was full of water. I tried to reset the machine with no luck. I then unplugged it and then tried to restart it all to no avail. When I called Vornado for help I was told that I needed to clean the machine. WHAT?!? After just three days of use I had to clean it? I am now returning this expensive piece of junk and getting a full refund. I am disappointed because I had high hopes for this humidifier.
