Bionaire Cool Mist

Bionaire Cool Mist


The digital humidistat is temperamental. It reads my room at 26% humidity despite the fact that it’s been running for days on “high”. I’ve been told by Bionaire customer service that this is a common complaint. Apparently, it has a hard time gaging true humidity levels in the room, which makes it a pointless feature. Furthermore it’s prone to somewhat alarming quirks; I touched the “power” button to increase the speed of the humidifier from low to medium and the digital numbers on the humidistat display shorted out and this was on unit #2, the one that replaced the first unit I returned to BJ’s because it was not functioning correctly. Soldiering on, I’ve continued running the humidifier and hoping that in fact it’s increased my humidity to somewhere in the 65% range or higher, but I have to either buy a gadget to test that independently or take it in good faith that the permanent display of 26% on the Bionaire Cool Mist Tower Humidifier’s humidistat is incorrect. It feels like my room is a little less dry, which is a good thing.
