I tried an evap-wick model for 1.5 weeks.  It didn't noticeably humidify
a rather small (10.5 x 10.5 foot) room.  Back to the store.

I then bought a Bionaire Cm-2 (2s?).  It is warm-mist, but does -not-
emit steam out the vent--much safer that way.  I like it.  Easy to fill,
easy to clean.  On low speed, it runs 3 - 4 nights between fill-ups. 
And reasonably priced at Fortunoff's.
