Very Smart Purchase October 4, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I really like this humidifier and have been on the very difficult journey to discover which humidifier will work for me, whether cool or warm mist is better and which actually does what it says the same as everyone else. I get frequent sinus infections and am in great need of a humidifier here in the northeast during the cold months with the heat. I just constantly don't feel good without one. For over 10 years I have used cool mist humidifiers. I honestly never considered a warm one. The last one I had was a Holmes and it was certainly not cheap. I took good care of it and it still worked only 1 year. The filters were expensive and the unit was very noisy Last year when it worked it worked well, but last winter it worked only half the time. I did not know where to turn.

A friend suggested a warm air humidifier and I looked into it and liked what I read. I then researched, reading reviews and customer comments - even using Consumer Report. I kept coming back to this one and saw the definite mix of positive and negative reviews. I read all the negatives and saw that most were looking for the humidifier to do or be more than it said it was.

I live in a studio apartment and the humidifier says it is for rooms 400 to 700 square feet. Perfect for me. It also says that it runs up to 12 hours on one filling and it does. When I run it on the low speed it lasts 12 hours exactly. The directions also say to disinfect it before the first use. This is very important. With something like a humidifier it is very important to follow all directions. If you do not, you don't have a right to complain if it does not work correctly. This humidifier is very easy to clean/maintain and also very easy to fill. If you do not want to be filling it every 12 hours or more then get a different humidifier. For me, it is very simple and easy knowing I need to easily fill it every 12 hours.

The humidifier also makes no noise at all on either the high or low speed. I find that when running it constantly on low my humidity level is perfect and I feel great. This machine does exactly what it says it does so make sure that it will satisfy your needs. It is easy to use/maintain - so much simpler than a cool mist humidifier. I will never return to a cool mist one again.

I highly recommend this unit and say just make sure it is what you want before purchasing. Hope this helps you with your humidifier decisions.

Capacity approximately 3/4 gallon September 9, 2008
As someone else stated, the title is definitely deceiving. This is a tiny unit. I'm keeping it for now because I have a small room and only run the unit over night.

quiet and fuction well May 27, 2008
I have two schoolers who are big nose bleeders. We live in southern California, it is dry compared with New England we used to live. My 12 y/o girl got bleeding nose so often, sometimes the school called me to bring her home.Even she put vasoline every night, she still got bleeding nose once in a while. After I bought this inexpensive warm mist humidifier, we are happy with the results. It is quiet, hardly to notice there is a machine operating. The big capacity of water tank can hold it more than 12 hours(with low setting) My kids claim which make them sleep better. For my part,it is easy to set up and clean. I had a cool mist when my kids were born(more than 10 years ago),which didn't help my kids. I didn't know warm mist is much better to treat my kids' condition. My only regret is that I didn't get it earlier.

Humidifier March 31, 2008
I bought this to replace a Duracraft that lasted 5 or 6 years before it developed a slow leak at the plate that screwed onto the bottom. I read all the warm mist humidifier reviews and thought "none of them work any more." This one works just fine. I did not use any of the pads before so I don't use them now. I simply fill it each night, turn it to high, press the on switch and it runs until I turn it off in the morning. The coil stays cleaner if the unit is turned off before it runs out of water. I clean the unit every week or two.

small capacity! February 25, 2008
This humidifier seems to work fine, but the title is misleading. I don't think it even holds a gallon of water. I guess the output can be 2.5 gallons per day if you refill it 4-5 times? It might work for a VERY small room, but it doesn't last 1/2 the night in our bedroom and it doesn't seem to do much. We would have to fill it every few hours to get the level of humidity noticably higher. We bought it to replace an old humidifier that actually holds 2.5 gallons and we were disappointed. I'll have to look for another now...
