The good news: It's quiet. The rest is bad. It's suitable for a very small room; needs to be cleaned too often; and totally died after 3 months.

I bought this humidifier 10 days ago and it already broke. It stopped sending out mist, and all the troubleshooting tips in the manual and cleaning didn't help. So I returned it today. It's very high maintenance and has daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning suggestions for smooth operation. Who has time for that? I'm going back to my Holmes humidifier and would not recommend this one at all.

This product performs exactly as described which is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't take up a lot of space on the dresser - this is a real plus. I put a plant tray underneath to catch drips of water when removing and replacing reservoir, but that is the only time I have to worry about it.

The product works really well. It is what I expected. The water comes out in a very fine mist almost like smoke.
