Our Verdict

Vornado EV100

Blueair DreamWell

The Blueair DreamWell is better than the Vornado EV100. Both use evaporative humidification, but the Blueair has a stronger humidification capacity, is easier to clean, and offers a much more complete feature set, including app controls, automatic shutoff, a built-in humidistat, and an aroma stone. That makes it easier to set a target humidity and leave running without much attention. The Vornado EV100 is a more basic evaporative model and is considerably slower to raise humidity, so it's better suited to maintaining humidity in a smaller space. Its main advantage is runtime, though, as it can run for far longer between refills.
