When I found this item from sharper image, I was very excited because of the size. It's very small and works very well. However, I can not stand the noise. You can never leave this humidifier on if you're a light sleeper, which I am. The noise is pretty loud.. So don't get it if you can't stand a constant buzzing noise.

This was the first humidifyer I ever bought. I've since moved on to other models.

On the plus side, this model is extremely small and a full tank lasts through an 8-hour night and makes a discernable difference in a small bedroom. You can hear the fan, it is not totally quiet, but it was something I could live with. Very easy to clean!

The white dust the unit sprays its surroundings with was the main reason for me to not buy another one file a warranty claim once the fan started failing after a year and the unit became unbearable noisy.

I would not recommend this model. There are better ones.

I've used this product all last winter and was very satisfied. I run it at work in my cube next to my laptop within reach. The noise is relatively loud at startup, but within 5 minutes it quiets to a very, very acceptable level. One fillup lasts more than 10 hrs. It also is nicely sized - small.

The only con is a white residue will become apparent on stationary items of dark color gradually over time. It's not a big deal because you can wipe it off, but thought I'd mention it.

This unit is compact yet powerful. Compared to the ones I've owned before this one is much better in terms of size, efficiency, and noise level. I travel a lot and it is easy to carry with me because of its very small size. It is easy to clean as well. I am completely satisfied with this item, and highly recommend to others.
