 The worst pice of crap I have ever bought HAS to be a WAIT 900 (made 
 by Air King) humidifier. 
 When I bought my home, there already existed an Air King horror on the 
 furnace, obviously neglected, that had been overflowing rivers. 
 I paid the extra for the STAINLESS STEEL model, and looked forward to 
 not having to worry about corrosion. Boy, was I wrong. 
 This company is in the business of selling humidifiers guaranteed to 
 generate parts sales. And I'm not talking just maintenance items like 
 pads and filters. My "stainless steel" humidifier soon seized, because 
 the drum shaft is NOT stainless, but ordinary steel that quickly 
 RUSTS! What scumbags! What shysters. 
 Add to that a cover that fits very poorly, allowing all sorts of air 
 leakage and that frquently flies open, a float valve the often sticks 
 and causes overflow - last time, I had to buy THREE float valves to 
 finally get one that actually works. Now, the motor spins, but the 
 coupling won't engage the rusty drum shaft. 
 I've had enough - I bought a room humidifier. I wish I had never heard 
 of the gasholes at Air King. They couldn't engineer a reliable ice 
 cube tray, in my opinion. 
 Anyone know a RELIABLE furnace humidifier?
