No visible mist

Vornado EV200 Has No Visible Mist

No visible fog is expected on the EV200. It is an evaporative humidifier, and Vornado says natural evaporation eliminates the visible mist associated with ultrasonic models.

Bubbling / gurgling

Vornado EV200 Is Making a Bubbling or Gurgling Sound

A bubbling or gurgling sound can be normal on the EV200 when water is being dispensed from the tank into the base.

Low humidity output

Vornado EV200 Is Not Producing Enough Humidity

The EV200 owner guide points first to low water, a reached humidity set point, blocked airflow, or settings that are too low.

Fan stops

Vornado EV200 Fan Keeps Stopping

The fan can stop normally when the EV200 reaches the selected humidity set point, then resume when room humidity falls below that target.

Wicks harden too fast

Vornado EV200 Wicks Harden or Need Replacement Too Often

Chemically softened water can shorten wick life because added sodium can harden the EV200 wicks.

No power

Vornado EV200 Will Not Power On

Start with the outlet and household breaker/GFCI. If the EV200 appears damaged or still will not power on, Vornado directs the owner to stop use and contact service.
