The Stadler Form Hydra ultrasonic humidifier is a no frills product that will humidify a good size area at a very fair price. It is able to hold 1.6 gallons of water with maximum moisture output of up to 2 gallons a day providing medium to large room coverage. It is ultra silent and very easy to set-up and operate.

Summary
The Stadler Form Hydra ultrasonic humidifier is a cool mist ultrasonic humidifier that provides enough moisture to the air to humidify a room up to 440 square feet. It is simple to operate and offers the water protection of the more expensive models. We like that slight improvements were made to provide a manual adjustable humidistat along with a separate control for the mist output. The only issue we had with these new features was that the humidistat knob needed to be opened all the way up before the humidifier turned on so it did not appear to be very sensitive. However, we are happy to be able to offer an inexpensive humidifier that is well built and delivers more than one would expect.
