Info & Guides

Recommended by a leading consumer reporting magazine as the #1 console style humidifier, the AIRCARE MA1201 Evaporative Console Humidifier adds soothing cool mist moisture to your entire home. The MA1201 combats dry air indoors by releasing 11.44 gallons of cool mist humidification per day to cover an area as large as 3,600 square feet. Electronic controls, a built-in humidistat, and numerous automated features make it easy to monitor and control the humidity level in your home.

Convenient Humidistat Control

The AIRCARE MA1201 eliminates guesswork when it comes to maintaining your ideal indoor humidity levels. Simply set your desired humidity between 25% and 65% and let the onboard humidistat do the work for you. If your home's humidity falls below your setting, the humidifier automatically adjusts to the most efficient fan speed to increase moisture output. It features 4 fan speeds: ultra-quiet, medium, high, and auto. When running on high, water is dispersed in a fine mist that quickly humidifies a large area. The ultra-quiet setting is ideal for humidifying a single room with minimal sound while you sleep.

Simple Operation and Maintenance

Simple push buttons and a digital control panel make it easy to operate and maintain. In addition to power and fan speed buttons, the digital control panel features up and down arrows for adjusting the room humidity. The display panel shows the actual room humidity, your desired humidity, and the current fan speed setting. When the wick filter needs to be replaced, a check filter message displays giving you an easy reminder. A refill indicator located on the control panel illuminates when the water bottle and humidifier base are empty.

Additional Features

  • Mineral-Absorbing Filter - The evaporative filter "wicks" up water to humidify your home while absorbing mineral content that may lead to pesky white dust.
  • Highly Portable: Four rolling casters help you move your humidifier from room to room effortlessly.
  • Refillable Bottle: A refillable water bottle connects to base and is detachable for easy refills.
  • Dry Out Mode - Dry Out mode runs on the ultra-quiet setting once the reservoir is empty to dry out the filter and other internal components to avoid harmful mold and mildew growth.
  • Automatic Shutoff - Once Dry Out mode has completed its cycle, the humidifier automatically powers off to save energy and electricity costs.

Summary

The AIRCARE MA1201 Evaporative Console Humidifier is a top consumer-rated console humidifier.

What Customers Love

  • Set It and Forget It - Set your desired humidity level, select the Auto mode, and let the humidifier go to work. An onboard humidistat adjusts the fan speed automatically to maintain your desired humidity level.
  • Large Coverage - Adds 11.44 gallons of cool mist moisture to the air per day and covers areas up to 3,600 square feet.

Things to Consider

  • Multiple Floors - If your home has multiple floors, coverage area may be reduced. Be sure to place in a centralized location or move around regularly for the best coverage.

Frequent comments address its performance in large spaces, with users reporting coverage from single rooms to multi-story homes.

    Aircare MA1201 Console Humidifier

    I am very impressed with this humidifier. It replaces an old model with 2 fans and 2 filters delivers about the same amount of humidification. It could not be easier to operate and the automatic setting that adjusts the fan speed based on the dryness of the air, is a handy feature. While it is true, as others have pointed out, that the highest fan speed is noisy, it does raise the humidity quite quickly on that speed. You probably would not want to run it constantly on that speed in a small room while watching TV or having a conversation. I live in a large, old house with lots of windows and have allergies that flare up badly when the room air gets dry. We have 1 humidifier upstairs and 1 downstairs which allows me to run them on low to medium speed in the coldest part of the winter. When my humidifier was delivered, I noticed that the gasket in the filler cap was a little crooked. It did not leak, but I contacted customer support and they were extremely nice and sent me a new cap immediately.

    I had doubts, based on the size of this humidifier, but it's very well designed and it really creates moist air very quickly. It is small and unobtrusive but seems to be well built and sturdy. I will be replacing the old upstairs unit with another MA1201 before next winter.

    Cranks out the air

    I have severe dry eye syndrome and anyone who has it knows what I'm talking about. I'm in a small apartment and the old radiators and crummy windows dump dry air into my place. Had 3 smaller gallon units and they did nothing. This not only gets the humidity up to 50 or so, it's efficient enough that I only have to refill once every 36hrs. My dry eyes and contacts feel so much better. In a proper home with temp control and insulation I have no doubt this unit will perform probably better than expected.
