Terrible!!
This humidifier is horrible. The thing is loud!! Yeah right it has a quiet mode. Also, the water container does get everywhere. The water leaks out and makes a mess. Also, the filter has to constantly be changed. If you use the filter while your child is sick put the humidifier away for a month you have to get another filter. You cna't really feel any mist coming out and it doesn't shut off automatically. I returned this humidifier and got a comparbly priced one from Vicks. It is not that loud, granted none of them are quiet and the water container is big and the filter is reusable for more than one use.
great for the money
This is my first review but I had to respond to all the other negative things about this humidfier. I think for the size and price it's great. The sound is a consistent low roar which I have to say I don't mind because my 13 month old has slept through the night since we bought it! Yes, if you don't get the top in right it spills but I think any brand would. I can even turn it on with my foot, in the dark, while holding my 25 lb baby and heading toward the rocking chair for naptime/bedtime. I even bought one to have at my mother's house for the same low roar for the baby. It worked, and once I had it he slept thru again.
Compact and efficient
This little unit is both compact and efficient, but is noisier than I would have expected or wanted. I purchased it for my office and it has helped tremendously. I was concerned when I received it- although packaged securely, there was a small crack in the motor housing- it doesn't seem to affect it's operation however.
not recommended- ruined our hardwoods
This humidifier leaks every time we use it. It has warped our hardwood floors. We currently have it sitting in a tray until we purchase a new one. It does not automatically turn of when the water runs out. I do not recommend this product.
SO LOUD
Thought this would be great to use since the water tub goes into the dishwasher. I never liked getting out the bleach and vinegar to clean my other one. But this one is SOOOO LOUD!!! I don't mind it too much since it will put me to sleep but I can not hear my children over the loud hum of the machine! I like to hear them when using this so I know they are comfortable and not getting to the croupy stage.
