Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vornado 4-Gallon 4 by 4 Multi-Room Humidifier
Customer Review: A Poorly Manufactured Product
Summary: 1 Stars
The water containers are made of plastic with several seams. The manual suggested to test for leaks by filling on a flat surface. Unfortunately the failures occurred in the weight stress while carrying the container. The net result was water all over the dinning room. There is no real warrenty since they charge ... to return the item plus you pay the shipping.Poor product...poor result!!
Customer Review: Nice HUMIDIFIER.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a humidifir for a long time.After reading its reviews i decided to buy it.I am extremely happy with its performance.The reason for taking away a star is that it is made of very thin plastic.I have to be very careful while cleaning it so that it does not break.Sometimes it makes a glug voice but i dont care as i place this humidifier in my hallway.I will recommend this humidifier to anyone who is in need for a very good humidifier.Customer Review: Easy humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the easiest humidifier to maintain that I have ever owned, and it does a great job of humidifying my entire 4 room apartment, even in the coldest, driest weather. It can hold a lot of water, so you don't have to refill it constantly, and most importantly, it's really easy to clean (not a lot of nooks and crannies), a big problem for me with other humidifiers. The reservoir mouths are too small to efficiently fill in the bathtub but are perfect for the kitchen sink, and there are no caps to unscrew. It does make a little "glug glug" sound occasionally, so really sensitive sleepers might not want it in their bedroom, but otherwise it generally makes a pleasant white noise. Warm misters are quieter and don't require filters but they tend to have small capacities and they are a true nightmare to keep clean. Until they make a filterless, self-cleaning, self-filling humidifier, I highly recommend this one.Customer Review: IT REALLY WORKS

Customer Review: The Dreaded Glug-Glug
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading the reviews here and elsewhere, I decided to give this humidifier a try. It lasted less than one night.The glug-glug of air entering the water bottles is both louder and more frequent than the two other brands I've tried (Honeywell and Bionaire), and we found we couldn't use the humidifier in the bedroom. In truth, I could sleep through the noise, but my wife couldn't, so we returned it the next day.
Two other negatives: first, the unit both looks and feels like it is made of cheap, thin plastic; it's a fairly ugly addition to the bedroom.
Second, the water bottles are surprisingly awkward to fill. The bottles have very narrow openings (no more than about 1" in diameter) which greatly restricts water flow into the bottles (there has to be enough room for water to flow in and air to flow out - the only way to do this is with a slow water flow). The review that estimates 1.5 minutes per bottle to fill in the kitchen sink is probably accurate. The two other humidifiers I've used had MUCH larger openings (3" probably) so you could hold the bottle under the tap in the tub and fill a 2-3 gallon bottle in only a few seconds. Also the Vornado bottles have no cap - just an opening - so carrying a full bottle is a little more exciting than it should be.
On the other hand, except for the glug-glug, the unit is very quiet. Also, the capacity is much larger average, so if you want to humidify more than a room, this might be a good choice.
Bottom line: if you need a high-capacity humidifier AND you can tuck this one out of both sight and sound, it might be a good choice. But, for the bedroom - especially the bedroom of a light sleeper - look elsewhere.
