What to know about AIRCARE EP9800 (EP9 800)
Why it stands out
Why we like it
Being evaporative, it avoids white dust and the cost of distilled water. The digital humidistat and remote make it simple to set and forget, and the cabinet look blends into a living room better than most humidifiers.
What to know
Score breakdown
How easy it is to fully disassemble, reach and dry every wet surface. Covers dishwasher-safe or boilable parts, mold-inhibiting features, and parts count. Weighted heavily by BabyGearLab (35%) and stressed by Babylist, Forbes and RTINGS.
Ability to raise and hold nursery humidity in the 40–50% range: tested output, coverage for the room size, overnight runtime per tank, and humidistat or auto-mode accuracy.
Measured or rated noise, absence of gurgles and beeps, dimmable or switch-off lights, and nursery extras like a red night light or white noise that help rather than disturb sleep.
Cool-mist or evaporative design (no burn risk), stainless or BPA-free water-contact materials, and white-dust/mineral mitigation such as demineralization filters or evaporative design. Also covers tip and leak resistance, auto shut-off, and any recalls or regulatory warnings.
Filling (top-fill vs flip-tank), controls usable in the dark, app reliability, leak-free refills, and how easy it is to move or place.
Street price plus ongoing costs (filters, cartridges), weighed against warranty length and performance.
