This humidifier is good to have. It works well to humidify a variety of rooms in the my home. I do not like the refill tank as when I fill the tank the lid that is screwed onto the tank holder isn't sealed well and the water leaks out. It makes a wet mess to clean up when walking the tank full to the humidifier.
No, I do not recommend this product.

While this unit seemed of good quality and design, I returned it before I ever used it. I plugged it in to listen to the fan before I added water. Very loud. This unit would be great if you can locate it away from sleeping areas, TV, eating areas, etc. You could not talk over the unit on the mid or high fan setting. Too loud to sleep with the unit on low setting.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I agree there is small leakage problems when removing the water tank to refill. I don't consider it a big problem.
Unit is noisy on high fan levels. We use lower levels and not a problem. Would not be good in a room where you are trying to listen to music or TV if using higher fan levels.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After much research, plus my own experience with many brands, this is the best for the money. I have COPD and for me the help this humidifier gives me is very appreciated. My coughing is way down, no more itchy eyes, breathing is improved and I no longer shock the cats. Kudos for this product Thanks Iris

The recirculating feature is what makes it work. Keeps the filter damp. Very happy an only complaint is it leaks slightly when filling canister....not a deal breaker though.

I have a very large living room area, about 1200sq ft, so I needed a humidifier that could do the job. It took a few days of it running nonstop but it brought the humidity level up to much more comfortable levels. I know that our cats are enjoying not getting shocked every time we go to pat them.

We were looking for a unit that could put out more than 2 gallons per day so we didn't have to have a humidifier in all rooms. I like the fact that this unit seems to put out a large volume of moisture but isn't as big as a console unit. When the house is kept at 68-70degF, and the unit is on medium (2), it will put out 3-5 gallons per day.
Pros
- inexpensive water filter/diffusers
- puts out large volume of water for a unit of its size
- Price/gpd is very good. I don't know of any other unit under $100 that can put out that much moisture.
- Better looking than large, fake wood console units
Cons
- reasonably loud but tolerable on medium; very loud on high
- it's not a major problem but you will drip water when putting the fill tank back in the unit.
- No fill indicator; must lift water tank to determine how full it is.
We would recommend this unit.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The unit can circulate 9 gallons of water per day which sounds awsome until your the one who has to refill it 1 1/2 gallons at a time. We had the unit in our livingroom and due to the noise had moved it to the dinningroom (3 rooms away) and we still have to turn the TV up and down everytime it kicks on/off.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I am very impressed with the design and operation of the humidifier.The fan draws in humid air from the dampened filter and then blows it up into the room, a clean and efficient priocess. The unit is easy to fill and the design effectively prevents leakage. I have a 1500 square foot house. The unit is more than adequate to hold the humidity level at 50 percent in a desert climate.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bought this unit 3 weeks ago and makes very little noise on low. We can have it in the same room as the television and not have to increase the volume of the tv. I live in Arizona where it's very dry and this unit does a very good job of keeping the humidity to within our range. We have bought other units but returned them because of their noise.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Puts out a decent amount of humidity - however, the fan noise is very loud and it is a real pain to clean. (They recommend that the humidifier "...be cleaned at least once a week.") Additionally, the "evaporative pad shoud be replaced at least once every season." The pad costs around $20. Used it for many months, until I couldn't stand the noise and cleaning task. Just repaced it with a much smaller and very quiet ultrasonic humidifer, which works great.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I really couldn't believe how loud this unit is. Even on the lowest setting you can hear it throughout the house. It's not possible to carry on a conversation in the room it's in. At the lowest setting the evaporation rate is the same as a small room humidifier. It might be OK for some, but I'm returning it.
No, I do not recommend this product.
