This humidifier is easy to fill, and holds up to six gallons of water. The large tank allows the humidifier to run for an extended period of time – up to 70 hours. In addition to its modern design, the unit features digital controls for customizable humidity level and fan speed settings. Evaporative humidification is the cleanest form of moisture. Unlike evapo- rative humidifiers, other types of humid- ifiers (cool mist, warm mist and ultrason- ic) do not use a filtration system. Evaporative humidifiers use negative air pressure to pull moisture through a satu- rated wick. As air passes through the wick filter, it traps any impurities that could be in the water, as well as airborne viruses. This process of filtration pro- vides clean air and comfort for you and your family. During the cold, winter months, evaporative humidification can play a huge role in keeping the flu virus- es out of your home. By raising indoor relative humidity levels to 43 percent or above, 86 percent of airborne flu virus particles are ren- dered powerless. Maintaining proper humidity levels also helps treat allergy symptoms by sooth- ing dryness, itchiness and irrita- tion in the nose, nasal passages, sinuses, mouth, throat and eyes. Adding moisture to the air reduces pet dander and other airborne allergens. Properly moistened environments can decrease or eliminate static electricity, reducing the chance of damage to sensi- tive electronic equipment such as lap- tops, TVs and stereo systems. Evaporative humidifiers are a great solution for adding much needed humidity to dry indoor air. In addition to evapo- rative humidifiers providing a high level of clean air, they also provide a high level of savings. Humidified air adds more com- fort at a lower thermostat tem- perature. This gives you the lee- way to lower your thermostat, saving you two to four percent per degree in heating cost. This means evaporative humidification could save you up to 20 percent on your energy bill. Visit Essick Air Products at booth #L12112. NEW AIR CRYSTAL GLASS FROM SCHOTT ZWIESEL The best way to savor the taste of your favorite wine is with a glass so light, so perfectly balanced, that you are hardly even aware of it in your hand. That exact- ly describes the new range of wine glass- es named AIR; so light, yet durable, it could only be made by Schott Zwiesel. The new glassware was designed by Bernadotte & Kylberg, a firm already well-known for interior and fashion brands. Founders Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden and Oscar Kylberg observe, "The basic glass forms have not changed in any significant way for centuries. Reason enough for us to create a unique, weightless form for AIR." The thin wall and fine stem of the AIR range would normally be too fragile for a commercially used wine glass, but Schott Zwiesel's patented Tritan ® crystal glass is equal to the challenge. The lead- free crystal boasts added titanium for strength and added zirconium for bril- liant clarity. The result is an elegant design that is sturdy enough for restau- rant use and also dishwasher-safe. An admirable feat. The range includes 10 shapes, including red and white varietals, champagne flutes and saucer-style glasses, dessert wine and utility glassware. Each glass is a work of excep- tional quality and design. Taken together, they are a bold artistic statement. To round out the collection, there are two decanters, one for red and one for white wine, which are as visually distinc- tive as they are completely original. An elegant complement to any table. The AIR range adds a unique ele- ment to the tabletop setting. It becomes not simply a better way to enjoy wine, but a striking visual state- ment even to the casual observer. The graceful bowl and perfect stem of each glass will never be mistaken for any other range of glass- ware. The new AIR range is the result of a perfect partnership. Bernadotte & Kylberg brought a new vision to a classic product; Schott Zwiesel created the world's best crystal glass. Visit Fortessa Tableware Solutions at booth #S1462.

This powerful, durable unit moves effortlessly from rugs to hardwood floors to carpet, automatically adjusting to different surfaces and carpet piles.

The RCS212 features both auto- mated and customizable approach to robotic cleaning systems with its Remote Control Scheduling and Automatic Charging.
