Well - let me state that my humidistat setting does not matter. My humidifier is on all the time in the winter as my apartment is a wind tunnel from the window to the bathroom vent. All humidity that my little machine generates floats by the piano on its way back out the apt and my hygrometer rarely reads over 40% in the winter.

So piqué may have quite a different experience than I have had with this humidifier as her room seems to seal quite well.

f your Venta is controlling adjoining rooms as well, maybe I don't even need to close the piano room doors.


i would be on guard against sealing up the room, as that is often a good way to create a rainforest.

humidifier hygrometers are simply not that reliable and it's always good to have a way for the steam to escape the room, especially when you aren't around to monitor the situation.

joe, i didn't get the venta airwasher because i really need the hygrometer in my climate and the airwasher doesn't have one.

when i get home, if you are still interested, i'll find the model number for you, but i think that BBB only sells one venta that has a hygrometer.

Well, it looks like I will have to look for a bigger humidifier after all. My wife doesn't like closing off the piano room as a rule because that makes the adjoining foyer colder.

So now I am looking for something that will treat at least double the space, so 750 sq. feet minimum, because the foyer opens onto the kitchen and stairwell...big open area.

When I had the Dampp Chaser installed, it was because I assumed there was no way to humidify such a big open area. But there are humidifiers out there that say they can handle even 1000 or more sq. ft., so there's hope for this open floor plan yet.

Just buy two of the same kind! You can improve the coverage that way too (more even distribution).

i think the venta i use could handle that much space. try it, and if not, then get a second one.
