Read this entire review before considering this purchase.
The owner of the company sent me a letter requesting that I review the product. I had already discontinued my use without leaving a review, below is the reason that I've stopped.
I had this product for 1.5 weeks before stumbling upon a list of several well-cited scholarly papers discussing particle size from ultrasonic humidifiers. These particles can, if used with tap water, cause minerals to be included in the "water vapor" coming from the device. Particles with aqueous minerals are known to be carcinogenic, the quantities of these particles was quite high. Prolonged exposure to these ultrasonic humidifiers when utilizing unrefined tap water, depending upon the local tap water hardness and general mineral content, can cause a few respiratory illnesses and even cancers.
I personally do not want to breathe various metals and have them settle into the alveoli of my lungs. My partner and I instead purchased an evaporative humidifier (about $110 I think) that will not cause these issues.
If you're using this with tap water, especially around your children, I would strongly reconsider.
Here is a list of research paper titles that you can search up, the first one is not behind a pay wall but some of the others might be. I cannot post a link to these because my review could then be removed. Even reading just the abstract would be enough.
Papers:
"Effect of aerosol particles generated by ultrasonic humidifiers on the lung in mouse"
"Measurements of particle size distributions produced by humidifiers operating in high humidity storage environments"
"An overlooked route of inhalation exposure to tap water constituents for children and adults: Aerosolized aqueous minerals from ultrasonic humidifiers"
"Size and mineral composition of airborne particles generated by an ultrasonic humidifier"
Quote:
"Our results demonstrate that ultrasonic humidifiers should be considered a source of inhalation exposure to minerals dissolved in water, and that the magnitude of exposure to inhalable particles will vary with water quality." - Size and mineral composition of airborne particles generated by an ultrasonic humidifier

Small opening unable to clean
By Morgie on December 17, 2020
The opening of this humidifier is the diameter of a nickel. I’m not sure how this is easy to clean and wipe out as you bearly can get a pinky finger in the hole. Received it today and it’s nonreturnable because the seal on the box was broken to unpack the item for the box.
