They have mold/bacterial growth problems (and use more electricity).

But both types have easy solutions to their respective problems:

- Use distilled water in the ultrasonic.

- Regularly clean/replace wick in your evaporative (or use a water stabilization agent).

Even the article at the top says they measured "0" particles when distilled water was used.

Until reading this thread I thought using distilled water in them was common knowledge. I believe that is what the manual with mine even said.
