Let me start off by saying I installed this myself, and I am a technician by profession, so it may have been easier for me than for some people. It did not seem very complicated to me though, and the directions included appear very clear and straightforward. I think anyone with some basic tools and mechanically inclined could do this themselves, otherwise you might want to hire a professional installer. The kit included everything I needed except sheet metal screws and tubing (1/4" copper for water supply, 1/2 clear vinyl for drain), and some additional 14-20 AWG wire nuts. I also bought an additional T-fitting with 1/4 turn shut off valve to hook up the water supply in my 1/2" copper hot water pipe. I don't recommend using the saddle valve they provide in the kit for the piping, as they frequently fail, and do not meet code. I mounted the unit on the return manifold, and used a couple of 90° 6" elbows and a few feet of flexible HVAC hose for the bypass duct, and sealed it all with the silver foil HVAC tape.
As for the functionality of the unit, it's working great so far. I really like the water saving feature on it. It comes with a composite material filter (paper/metal screen) and a tray with float sensors to shut off the water valve if it gets full. This makes for a much more economical use of water in my opinion, and still has an overflow drain tube in case of malfunction. I like the outdoor temperature sensor to use the automatic feature for humidity adjustment, and it also has a feature to turn on the furnace blower to circulate and humidify the air if the humidity level is too low, separate from the thermostat control, which is very nice. Both features work perfectly so far, and my relative humidity went up 10% after the first day. This is the most precise and full control featured humidifier I saw at this price point, and was a very good value for the money.

Worth it
It definitely makes the house feel more comfortable. My heating bill in January was $158. I installed this in the beginning of February and it was about as cold as January and when I got my bill for February it was $108. I noticed how much less it was running. The air doesn’t feel dry anymore. Install was pretty straight forward but YouTube videos helped with the wiring which was pretty simple. Worth it.
