My wife and I moved to Illinois from South Florida in June. Since November I had really noticed how much drier it is in Illinois, especially at night with the heat on full blast. We purchased this humidifier and have been running it for about a week. It has been awesome. If you can deal with having to refill every night before bed, then you'll enjoy this piece of electronics. All dryness that I had to deal with at night before we got this is gone. It's pretty sweet. A night light that changes from green to blue is nice and relaxing. Not overwhelming unless you are a pitch black sleeper. It offers a bunch of settings, has an ionizer and allows you to adjust the humidity. I researched this pretty hard and it seemed like this would be the best bang for the buck and so far it is. For 43 bucks and free shipping you can't beat it. I'll do a follow-up in a few months, but so far so good. It's got my blessing.

As a humidifier it works well but I'm on my 3rd one in as many weeks. The first one had a malfunction in the LCD screen and the 2nd one constantly shut on and off while it made a horrible growling noise. We'll see how #3 holds up. When its working it performs well but I am having doubts about the quality control. I'm sure it's another quality Chinese product. Amazon has been terrific to deal with.

#3 had a defect as well. The indicated room temp stayed at 32 degrees no matter what the actual room temp. I tried blowing warm air over the sensing unit but it stayed at 32. I think I'll live with it because the reviews on the other humidifiers are not very good. At least this one does not leak and performs well.

On 5-15 the third one failed. These things are junk.

I bought this for my husband who dries out at night. We have a whole house Humidifier but this is in the bedroom for added comfort. It works like a charm. Love the adjustable settings for mist. I am so glad I made this purchase. The company was great to, fast to ship.

stopped working within 3 weeks. cost more than a new one to pay for shipping back to manufacturer and then pay shipping back to me. i will just purchase a different brand locally so i can take it back to the store if anything happens.

Who knew humidifiers could be pretty? This one is as much of a decorative addition as it is functional.

It is an excellent humidifier. Though it has not eliminated all the dryness, it has reduced need for liquid tears during the night. The tank holds just a little over 12 hours worth of water, so a 24 hour period requires 2 refills. The weight makes it easy to carry. If it held more water, it would be harder to transport to the water supply. It is also easy to clean, assemble, work, and has a multitude of features.

The most unexpected benefit is the night light. It is a soft light that morphs from turquoise to sapphire blue every few seconds, takes a second to go black, and starts again. It illuminates the water in the tank and it is almost like looking at a softly lit aquarium. It is very peaceful and serene. Also it is very silent and works beautifully.

I liked this machine so much, I bought a second one for another room.

I purchased this product after using for a week, I think that I made a good decision. The best part of this product is digital preset humidifier; set the number of humidifier that you want and whenever it come to the right number that has been set it will stop itself, and when the air is dry it start itself. For example, I set my the humidifier at 40 in my room and when it come up to 40, it stop or when it drop less than 40 it start itself.

I recommend to everyone whom need a good humidifier and don't want to have a mold in their room.

I bought this product based on the reviews, as we're all suffering from the dry air in our apartment in the Chicagoland winter time. It certainly looks nice, seems to humidify OK, and is quiet as a mouse.... to HUMANS! The ultrasound vaporizer seems to be well into canine hearing range and drives our dog absolutely bananas. Her behavior went back to normal the moment we turned the device off, and back to battiness the moment we turn it back on.

I am giving it two stars because the device seems to be OK otherwise. And I'd still recommend it if you don't have a dog (or another pet with hearing in the ultrasound range). But we will be returning it because it is basically useless to us: we cannot turn it on at all without torturing our dog.

I bought this to replace a medisana we had used until it died. As a humidifier it works well & i only need to replace water 1-2 days.

The only reason i took one star off is because it has a greatly touted "color changing light" Well yes it's there, but its inside the red plastic, so you cannot see it. In addition most colors wont illuminate the red plastic... so you get a weird on and off red glow.

I've had this humidifier less than a week, but I am really impressed with it. It has features normally found only on much more expensive humidifiers. I put it in our 200 square foot bedroom, and it keeps the air at the humidity level I set (40%) all night. It seems a little noisy at first, until something else makes a noise and completely drowns it out. It makes a good soft white noise. The ionizer makes it smell good, but I'm glad I can turn it off if I want. Read the directions about not getting water in certain places. It drastically reduces the output if you do.

Update 11/18/2010 thinking of purchasing another unit, the original is still working great and has had no malfunctions thus far. I am currently looking for more similar products from SPT because I feel believe the next will be of good quality also.

I will update to new purchase.

This humidifier works well. It is my first in a few years so I do not have much to compare to, but I know that I like this unit already.

The remote sensor/hygrometer makes this unit awesome for my usage.

Well manufactured, no water leaks, water doesn't splash out of unit when moved, and it is easy to clean.

I would buy this product again. Trust me, I send stuff back all the time...
