- I tried an evap-wick model for 1.5 weeks. It didn't noticeably humidify
- a rather small (10.5 x 10.5 foot) room. Back to the store.
-
- I then bought a Bionaire Cm-2 (2s?). It is warm-mist, but does -not-
- emit steam out the vent--much safer that way. I like it. Easy to fill,
- easy to clean. On low speed, it runs 3 - 4 nights between fill-ups.
- And reasonably priced at Fortunoff's.
