Eva's quiet hum (35 dB) won't wake light sleepers, and auto mode prevents over-humidification. But for dust-sensitive homes, Honeywell's UV wins.
At 540 sq ft claim, it handles open plans well but slows in tight corners. Vornado Mistic circulates better with whole-room tech.
Wipe weekly; replace wicks quarterly. Pair with Protec Humidifier Cleaning Fish for 30-day slime prevention—drops right in!
Our Verdict on Stadler Eva: Solid for pure moisture fans, but Honeywell offers better value and less hassle.
