How we chose

We started with tank size, because that is what decides how long a humidifier goes between fills. The 735S 11L holds 11 L and is rated for 100 H of runtime, the largest tank and the longest runtime in the lineup. The 717S 8L holds 8 L and is rated for 80 Hours, and it covers 600 sq. ft. The 774S 10L holds 10 L. The 713S 6L holds 6 L.

Noise mattered too, since these run overnight. The 747S is listed at 21 dB, the 735S at 26 dB, the 713S and 717S at 28 dB, and the 774S at 32 dB.

On price, the 713S 6L is $89.99. The 717S 8L and the 747S are both $119.99, which is $30.00 more than the 713S. The 735S 11L is $139.99, $20.00 more than the 717S and $50.00 more than the 713S. The 774S 10L is $159.99, $20.00 more than the 735S and $70.00 more than the 713S. Each of these prices is at its 90-day low and has held flat over that period.

We favored capacity for multi-day use, so the 11 L tank and 100 H runtime carried the most weight, with noise and price as the tiebreakers.

Who should skip these

If you're humidifying well beyond 600–700 sq. ft., skip this family. The 717S 8L lists coverage of 600 sq. ft. and the 747S covers 700 sq. ft.; the 713S 6L, 735S 11L and 774S 10L don't list a coverage figure, so we can't point you to one of them for a larger room.

If you want to spend under $90, look elsewhere too. The least expensive model here is the 713S 6L at $89.99, which is $30.00 less than the 717S 8L and $50.00 less than the 735S 11L. The 717S 8L and 747S both cost $119.99, the 735S 11L is $139.99, and the 774S 10L is $159.99 — $70.00 more than the 713S 6L.

Every model is at its 90-day low, and each price has held flat over that period.

How to choose the right one

Start with the tank and the runtime, because those two numbers decide how often you refill. The 735S 11L holds 11 L and runs 100 H, the largest tank and longest runtime here, at $139.99. The 717S 8L runs 80 Hours on an 8 L tank for $119.99, which is $20.00 less than the 735S. The 774S 10L holds 10 L at $159.99, $20.00 more than the 735S, and the 713S 6L is the smallest tank at $89.99, $50.00 less than the 735S.

Then check noise and coverage against the room. The 747S is rated at 21 dB and covers 700 Square Feet for $119.99, the same price as the 717S 8L. The 735S 11L is rated at 26 dB, the 717S 8L and 713S 6L at 28 dB, and the 774S 10L at 32 dB. The 717S 8L lists 600 sq. ft. of coverage.

If you want the fewest refills, the 735S 11L is the one to compare against. If quiet operation in a larger room matters more, the 747S is $20.00 less than the 735S.
