 Cheap and Works Good Dec 15, 2006
By E. Byers
This humidifier is cheaper than most, especially if you buy something else from the same manufacturer (the $10 off $30 coupon helps out).
It only has two speeds, low and high. HIgh is somewhat noisy, but what you would expect. However low is whisper quiet, you can't even really tell it's on at all. I have a somewhat large room 17x14 or so, and it easily keeps it humid in here (I have a clock that has humidity on it, and can see the difference). As far as replacement filters, it appears as those are reasonable as well.
It doesn't have any real features, but it works and it has worked well for me so far with no complains. Quiet, cheap, and humidifes, it's win-win.

Varies from one to another May 02, 2005
By Alison's
"Alison's Book Marks"
I originally purchased this unit for my child's room 2 years ago -- worked fine. There was no soaked carpet, no leaks, no fires, and no problems finding filters. I even liked the level of sound - it would get loud gradually. My child (now 2 yrs old) loved the sound so much we had to find a sound machine to duplicate it.
We purchased another unit for our second child's room. Strangely, this unit worked differently than the first. The second one leaked (very litte - nothing a hand towel under the unit couldn't fix) and was MUCH louder than the first. I also found that I needed to refill this unit more often than I did the first.
I didn't see too much of a problem with the difference, just thought it was worth mentioning...

Absolutely love it Mar 14, 2006
By Jenn B
"Happy Mom"
I have purchased and thrown away at least 3 other humidifier's prior to this one. I really like this one. The maintenance is so much easier and so far no scaly build-up like I had with the others. I love that the basin tray can go in the dishwasher. I put the filter in the sun to dry out weekly. I am very pleased with this item and haven't experienced any of the problems others have mentioned. Very happy!!

 My Dry Room is Renewed... Jan 07, 2005
By James E. Hartley
"Doc_Holiday"
I started getting sick, and for the first time since grade school had a bloody nose. That coupled with getting dry mouthed and dry skin and chapped lips every morning made me consider a humidifer.
When I went to the store I wanted a cool mist one, as cool mist would be nice in my room that is hot and dry during the winter. I expecte a misting machine, this thing doesnt mist, but I'm happy it doesn't after reading all the review of people with soggy carpets because of their misters...
Since having this I haven't felt as dry in the morning which is nice, I breathe easier and started feeling better. It a little louder than some but if you dont like the noise, turn down the speed to lower at night, I personally like some background noise and keep it on high.
The water last for a long time in these ones that use these wicks. There is only one downfall, mine is about a month old and the filter is getting pretty nasty already, although I admit my room is a dusty place and I've been using tap water. Apparently if you use those cheap 1 gallon Distilled waters the filter wont get all dirty or smelly as easily, as distilled water is pure, and tap water well....no matter what you think isn't ;).
PRO: Humidifies room with few refills and doesn't soak room.
CONS: The filter gets moldy/dirty pretty quick.
Hopefully this is usefull, I'm happy with it and I'm sure you'd be.

Patience is Key Jul 17, 2006
By L. Nay
"Mommy2Joshua"
When I purchased this humidifier and set it up, I expected after a couple of hours to walk into my son's room and be able to noticably tell that the humidifier was on. I couldn't tell at all. The room felt just as it did a few hours earlier. With those old humidifiers that I grew up on, I was used to being able to see the humidified air coming out, and to have the room feeling almost muggy. I guess that's what I expected.
At first, I was a little bothered that I couldn't physically tell it was on and working. But, after running it for 3 days in a row now, my sons stuffy nose and cough have remarkably subsided, there's no moisture buildup anywhere in the room, and my son is sleeping better.
So, although you don't see or feel this humidifier working, it seems to have done really well in alleviating my sons cold symptoms. I am definitely becoming a fan of the evaporative technology this humidifier uses in controlling condensation build-up.
Bottom Line: If you buy this humidifier, be patient with it. Don't assume it's not working. You have to just watch for it to alleviate symptoms. You will NOT feel or see this thing working, but it has done wonders for my son.
