ok, but not great! January 2, 2009
Karen B - mom of 5, including triplets! (Pennsylvania USA!)
It doesn't seem to cover as large an area as stated to start, but was ok. I had it up high on our large mini fridge so the noise wasn't too bad. The "perma wick" or whatever they call it collects calcium or gunk on it easily and is not easy to clean. I used vinegar as the instructions suggested and made it stronger and stronger until it was full strength, soaking it. I tried brushing it and it stuck like glue. We don't have hard water either. I only use it in the winter so it sat during the summer fine. Then when it was time to be used in the fall, it worked for one cycle, filled it again, and when I turned it on the motor wouldn't start. I heard a buzzing like it wanted to start but couldn't and then the buzzing wound down to nothing in a matter of seconds. Doh! It was only used a hand full of months! I used to have the standing credenza by another brand and I'm going back to that, triplets or no triplets in the house! LOL
 Terrible piece of junk December 24, 2008
Uncle Frank (Chicago)
This humidifier is a great waste of money. If you're looking for a humidifier that is expensive, not "care-free", and very loud this is the one for you. It is a disgusting, bacteria breeding cess pool. If you already own this model, don't even attempt to keep up with the cleaning of it. Your efforts are futile unless you find yourself soothed to sleep by watching of illuminated bacteria and microbes swimming about with the help of the "night-glo" nightlight feature. Throw this piece of junk away before it kills you and your family with a bacterial infection. If you are in the market for a quality humidifier please consider selling your first born before even entertaining the thought of purchasing this horribly designed excuse for a humidifier.
Ok, but lacking some features at this price. Durability questions. December 24, 2008
M. Russell (Cincinnati, OH USA)
I purchased this humidifier as a replacement for a similar model I had been given as a gift. That unit failed after two seasons. First the night light stopped working and then about six months later the fan started cutting in and out then finally stopped. When I opened it up I noticed the night light failed due to the wire simply rusting away. A manufacturing defect with not enough sealant around the wire.
Anyhow, new unit seems to be running ok with main complaint being that the cap on the water tank is hard to seat properly. First few times it leaked a stream of water on to the floor.
My old Hunter version had a sensor that would turn off the fan when the water ran low. This one just keeps running and the fan gets noisier. At this price I think that sensor should still be there.
 Great humidifier December 2, 2008
Javajane (Huntington, CT)
This humidifier is awesome. So awesome we bought two. I do not understand the negative reviews. We have had our first one for 5 years and our second for 4 since our first son was born. They work wonderfully and are so easy to clean and refill. Neither of ours is noisy- it is almost like a white noise and it puts us and our son right to sleep. The price seems to have gone up not sure why but it is worth it since you never have to change the filter.
Wonderful humidifer December 3, 2007

It's not too noisy and it has nice electronic sensor to constantly monitor the moisture level in the room.
The water capacity is quite large and lasts over several days.
