4.0 out of 5 stars Not Too Bad..., January 1, 2006

I've been looking for a humidifier that actually WORKS, isn't too loud or requires a ton of maintenance, and doesn't emit that annoying "white dust" that plagues the ultrasonic models... I purchased this unit back in early November and so far so good. The unit is a little noisy on the high setting, but nothing too loud as to interrupt your hearing. The maintenance is a breeze too. I do have a water softener where I live, so maybe that's why it's so much easier to keep clean than previous models I owned. I used to have a Holmes "warm-mist" humidifier that died after a year, and I found the old "drum" style humidifiers I grew up with were a pain in the ass to keep clean. The unit is attractive and easy to use. Just fill the reservoir tank and turn it on. It really is "care free". There is also a humidistat for desired humidity control and two fan speeds. My only complaint is that these units do NOT shut off automatically, so you have to keep your eye on the water tank. Depending on how dry your indoor is, your unit may require frequent refills. One filling does me good for about 3-4 days. In conclusion, not a bad humidifier. I'll post a follow-up in a few months to let you know how it's holding up.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works for me...., December 21, 2005

I have had this humidifier for 3 years and it works great. No mechanical failures of any kind. It is pretty loud on the highest setting, but I run it at night on high, and during the day on low. It is easy to clean, and I have never had to buy a filter, which has saved me a ton.

I just read the above reviews. Ouch! Maybe I got lucky, I have had 2 running constantly in the winter (Wisconsin) for 2 years now, and no problems. I bought the first one at Sam's club, and the 2nd from Ebay.

I do like the fact that you don't need to buy any additional filters, they are relatively quiet, and they do humidify the air. Just clean it out at the end of the season, and you'll be ok.

My daughter and son-in-law just had a baby, so I was looking for one for the new family when I came across these reviews. I am surprised at the negatives, but that won't deter me from getting another one.
