With More than 1,900 exhibitors showing their products at the recent International Home & Housewares Show in Chicago, even the most thorough attendee was hard-pressed to see them all. So HFN has simplified the process by choosing the best of the best.

The idea of an air-treatment product being designed to look like furniture might seem obvious, but such products have not been seen at retail- until now. During the International Home and Housewares Show, Essick introduced the EP9 500 Pedestal humidifier, which is designed to look like a mahogany piece of furniture. On top is a decorative tile inset that resembles a marble tile, which can serve as a surface for a plant, vase or figurine. This tile can be replaced with any standard 12-by-12-inch tile to fit any room’s decor. The Pedestal is quite a performer, too. It humidifies up to 2,000 square feet and provides 9 gallons of output every day. It also features digital control and variable speed motor, along with an automatic humidistat and automatic shutoff. The reservoir hold 3.5 gallons and offers a front pour-in opening for easy filling. Also, the Pedestal is made with four caster wheels, which enable it to be moved easily in any room for the home.
