I wouldn't call it quiet,
December 29, 2009
"It seems to work well, only have it for a week. It's not really quiet, especially on high, blows a lot of cool air. Already needs to be cleaned since it's also a purifier. Comes with a "ProTech" cleaner to help with mineral buildup. Also comes with a coupon for more, but Home Depot (at least the one by me ) doesn't stock them.
It does have an automatic shut off, but there's still water in the base. Be sure to pick up the tank straight or it will drip water all over the place from the cover."

Good Humidified, but could be better,
December 22, 2008
"What is good about this humidifier is that humidifies the air by evaporation instead of spraying a mist that can make the area surrounding the unit wet. I know it is working because it comes on when our forced air heater comes on which dries the air. It also shuts off when a “user set” percentage humidity is reached. Then it turns back on if the humidity goes below that setting. The problem is that I don't know how accurate the humidity measuring (hygrometer) is. I set the humidity at 49% and the unit turns on when the humidity is 55% or greater. I don't know if the reading is off, or is required to turn on in order to get an accurate reading. It doesn't say in the instructions. Another problem is that the water reservoir does not sit on its own which makes filling it awkward. It is also not all that quiet. One more complaint... Instructions say to soak the filter in water after every re-filling. I didn't do that because I filled the reservoir back up before it ran out. I checked the filter and it was still wet, so I didn’t bother. You need to check it after every filling to make sure it is not dirty or had mildew which I did not find. When wetting the filter it is easy to spill so you have to do this at the sink and then carry the base unit to where you are going to run the humidifier and then put the motor unit over the filter and then add the water reservoir. A bit of a hassle and can spill easily if not kept level.
What is good about it:
> good (removable) reservoir that does not leak and easily fits into unit.
> puts moisture into the air effectively through evaporation.
> simple design.
NOTE: Because I have had trouble with other humidifiers in the past, I distill (purify) the water to remove minerals so that it doesn’t have to cleaned as often. This isn’t a requirement by the manufacturer, but it means you will have to clean it less often so to me is worth trouble.
Because it actually does a good job of what is most important, putting moisture into the air, I gave it a 4 star rating."

QquietCare Humidifier,
December 14, 2006
"This product is great! Does an excellant job keeping moisture in a large area. My condo is 1400 sq ft and this little bugger keeps the moisture level at what ever I want for the entire condo. Much quieter than most humidifiers as well. Highly recommend and very easy to use!"

Great product for the price!,
November 28, 2006
"Awesome product for the money! We put it in the living room during the day which provides excellent moisture for the living room and dining room. At night we use it in the bedroom, sleeping has never been so luxurious during the dry season. "A must buy" for the price, plus it holds 4 gallons of water so you don't have to constantly change it and easy to move around."
