Why it matters
The HoMedics UHE-WMTF93 Humidifier is a hybrid humidifier with a 2 gallons tank, rated for 506 square feet.
Run time per fill, per the maker: 90 hours.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold. Evaporative wicks trap the minerals instead of releasing them, so tap water is fine, but the wick stiffens and needs replacing.
The listing names a top-fill tank and a warm-mist setting.
Top-fill tanks are filled from above without carrying the tank to a sink, which also makes them easier to wipe out.
Warm mist boils the water first, so it releases fewer minerals, but the hot water is a burn risk around children and pets.
A full tank holds about 7.6 liters, which adds roughly 17 pounds of water to carry or lift (filled in place from the top).
Spread over 90 hours, that tank works out to about 84 milliliters an hour, the rate on the setting the run time was measured at; higher settings empty it faster.
Its tank of 7.6 liters is one of the largest tanks we cover: 65 of the 78 humidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 0.7 liters to 20.1 liters.
Its stated run time of 90 hours is one of the longest run times we cover: 65 of the 69 humidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 10 hours to 130 hours.
Price-wise it sat in the dearest third of the 14 hybrid models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
