Drain Free Humidifier

This is drain free which means there is no need to eliminate the stagnant water. It also minimizes the water usage. This feature makes this product an ideal humidifier for residential purpose. You can even place it at a corner of the floor where you do not have a floor drain. This will not be a problem.  This also makes the installation process of this humidifier quite easy.

Huge Area Coverage

This Aprilaire 400 evaporative humidifier is meant for your entire house. A house of nearly 4000 square feet can easily be humidified by this humidifier. This would be quite expensive, if you need to separate humidifiers for the separate parts of your house. Such huge area coverage makes this humidifier quite likable by its users.

Noise Level

Humidifiers can be very noisy at times. This is something which is mostly disliked by the users. Evaporative humidifiers often come with this issue. Keeping this unwanted feature of humidifier in mind, its manufacturer has made it zero noisy. During our Aprilaire 400 review process, we found out that the minimum and the maximum noise level of this humidifier is 0dB.

Voltage Needed

110- 120 volt is good for this humidifier. Generally this is the general range of volts that we use for most of our electronic appliances at home. This is another major feature of this Aprilaire 400 humidifier that makes it perfect for residential use. Besides its low usage of voltage, it reduces your electricity bill as well. 

Huge Emission of Moisture

To humidify your living space properly, your humidifier must emit a sufficient amount of moisture. This humidifier emits nearly 17 gallons of moisture per day. As it is an evaporative humidifier meant for your whole house, such a huge amount of emission is highly required. The 17 gallons of vapours are distributed in the entire house in the equal proportion.

Great Warranty Period

The manufacturer gives a 5 years warranty for this humidifier. Such long-term warranty period makes it clear that this humidifier is quite durable. In case any part of this humidifier gets damaged within this period you will get a replacement for it.

No Water Refill Indicator

This Aprilaire 400 humidifier however, has no water refill indicator. It means if the water tank is empty, you will not be notified by this humidifier. So, this could be a bit problematic, as you have to check the water tank manually at an interval.

Aprilaire 400 is specially designed for residential use as it can cover your entire house. We find this humidifier quite easy to operate and suitable for the whole house. Beside its drain free construction makes it user-friendly and easy to install. Our final  verdict of the Aprilaire 400 Review is that you can surely give this humidifier a try.
