 Goofy-looking but effective and QUIET Jan 15, 2009
By M. Burke
I went looking for an affordable ultrasonic humidifier because I was tired of noisy fans and the other problems associated with evaporative machines. After a lot of research, I decided to try this one, partly because of its simplicity and partly because of pricing (i.e. not a disaster if it didn't work out). I was a little dubious about the small reservoir size, but it's not a problem at all. To keep a rather large room at ca. 35% in the dead of winter in MN (very dry subzero weather), one fill will last a bit over 24 hours, and of course longer than that in less extreme conditions. It's perfectly simple to fill and clean, and wonderfully quiet--just a steady hum that I barely notice, with occasional little glurps.
So far I've only seen a little white dust on the device itself, but not on nearby surfaces. The vapor seems to circulate best (i.e. up and out into the room) when it's placed well off the floor. On a 30" shelf, the vapor tended to flow downward, so I used a milk crate to raise it up a bit more, and that solved the problem. The only issue I've had with it so far was a fairly strong plastic/chemical smell at the beginning, but that's been diminishing with use. It's a great improvement over any of my previous humidifiers.

Super quiet and no filters! Jan 31, 2009
By joan_smiths
I have been using this humidifier for several nights. It is so quiet that you barely know it is on. The mist is very fine and gentle. I have had no problem with leaking or condensation. I have always used distilled water in my humidifiers because we have very hard water in our area. So, I really have no need for an expensive filter. It is super easy to fill and use. Plus, it has the added bonus of being really cute! I also just ordered the pig shaped version for another room. SPT SU-3751 Ultrasonic Pig-Shaped Humidifier
I was looking for a very quiet humidifier for a bedroom. I had purchased a different brand (Hunter) humidifier because the box says that it is supposed to be "ultra-quiet." It has a much more forceful motor and puts out quite a bit of vapor, which may be useful in certain circumstances. But it sounds like a big truck motor compared to the quiet little penguin.

Great humidifier Feb 17, 2010
By T. Le
I like to make it short
Pro
1) Quiet
2) put out just right amount of mist for my 20 x 16' bedroom
3) Cheap and good looking design
4) Filter-less - save money on filter
Con
1) White dust build up if using tap water - 2 days of using it
2) Expensive if using distilled water as recommended by manufacturer- $1/day - I used distilled water for 3 days and it is free of white dust
I ended up using filtered water after 5th day instead for cost saving, but I have to let it stand for 24 hours before I fill the tank up just to let the fluorine getting out. This works best me.
No more white dust, no more frequent trip to grocery store for distilled water, and best of it, no filter replacement but just my drinking water filter only

Finally, a great humidifier! Mar 08, 2009
By Lisa K. Vaeth
This humidifier came highly recommended from my mother, who bought one for sinus issues. I wanted to get one for the same reason, and because we have a wood stove, combined with forced hot air heat, all which can be incredibly drying.
My critieria was simple: no filter to deal with (been there, done that!) and no wet residue left behind. This fits the bill - the mist is cool and strong and it doesn't leave any wetness on your walls, floors, anywhere!

 Keep shaking the unit to work Jan 28, 2009
By Ki R. Park
It works fine for only 20 minutes, and then I have to shake the unit to work again all night long.
I figued out water in the container didn't drop to the working place (making mist) properly. Plenty of water is in the container, but there is not enough water in the mist making part after 20 min later.
After inserting thick paper between the water tank and the main electric part, it works now.
I will drill the unit to make a hole for airflow.
What a fun machine!
