A Quite Decent Humidifier

After reading many, many, negative reviews of various and sundry humidifiers, I thought that this one seemed like the best deal. I have had it for about a month now and haven't experienced a single problem with it. The high setting is, as other reviewers have noted, noisy. Nevertheless, the low setting emits a low hum that is actually quieter than a fan. It has not leaked even once, although I could see how if the tank were not situated quite right on the base, it could conceivably leak. Filling the humidifier and then moving it would probably cause leaking as well, as the sides of the water tray aren't very high. The vapor, as noted in the packaging, is invisible, but I can tell that its producing humidity, as the room (10x12, approximately) does get progressively more humid and I can hear occasional "glug"-type noises from the humidifier when it has to gulp more water. Based on my current usage (mostly just running it at night), I imagine that the replaceable filter will last me about two months or so. Filters seem to be a bit difficult to find, but they are available through Amazon and are quite reasonably priced. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this humidifier for the price.

Review

This humidifier is well worth the money. Simple to use and does a good job.

Good, not great

We have had this humidifier for almost a year now. The mist is not as powerful as I first thought it would be. For some reason our humidifier sometimes does not "utilize" the water in the tank. We fill up only 1/5 of the capacity and it's on for about 8 hours during the night, and sometimes there is still water left in the tank. It's a pain since you should not let water sit there, otherwise it gets stinky and dirty.

This is the other downside. The filter does get very dirty pretty easily, and stinky. We use only at night, every day, and the filter gets "nasty" with 1 month of use. We do use tap water.

We can notice difference in the room when it's on. We turn it on for about 30 min before going to bed, leave the bedroom door closed and you can definitely tell the room is not as dry.
