This humidifier was quite easy to assemble. Filling is super easy as well. It takes a gallon of water every couple of days. I keep the fan set to F2 which is not as loud as the higher settings and keeps the humidity level up just fine. F2 fan setting has a low hum and F1 is silent.

    Great little humidifier. The design, essentially a bucket with a fan unit that sits on top, makes it really easy to refill and clean. No weirdly shaped reservoirs to try to clean or complicated mechanisms to release the water, and no gurgling/bubbling sounds. Relatively quiet fan with a pleasant white noise effect, on one of the middle speeds F2 I have no problem sleeping with it running in my bedroom not far from my bed. The one issue is the LED display is a blindingly bright blue light that lights up my room. I put a dimming sticker over it but it wasn't enough, so I ended up cutting out a small square of cardboard and using masking tape to tape it over the display. This way I can just peel it back to view the display and then re-stick it.

    Easy unbox and start up. Runs quiet, flashes when the water is low. I recommend getting the optional air filter and several sets of spare wicks. Keeps our Arizona home very comfortable.

    No gimmicks. It's a tub of water, a couple filters and a fan. Simple design and it just works. Uses about 1 to 1-1/2 gal. per day on fan speed #2 keeping my 1100 sq. ft. house comfortable. Need to rinse crusty mineral deposits from the filters every couple of days, but be careful as they appear fragile. I think they'll last a season. If not, I ordered a pair for replacement when needed and they're cheap. 2 thumbs up so far!

    Fast delivery when none were available in store. We have a 1500 sq ft house and we fill it every other day which I am fine with. I strongly recommend the use of the humidifier care liquid to prevent mold build up on the filters and helps them last longer. Filters are readily available.

    I like that there is the option of different fan speeds. It operates quietly and automatically. Refilling the water is easy and it runs for several days before it needs refilling.

    The good: holds large volume of water so it will not need refilling so often. The bad: mine arrived new but did not produce vapor; no increase in humidity. In other words, not working in spite of fan sound and wet wick. Your luck may be better. Also seems cheaply made but would be acceptable if it actually worked.

    Far too loud at the higher settings. Thankfully I only need to run it on speed 2 for the space I have which is somewhat reasonable. If you have a larger space and need to run a higher speed to maintain humidity this thing is awful

    The humidistat on this device is more than 10-15% off. I called the manufacturer and they gave me excuses to how humidistat won't always read exact. Not all people have multiple humidistat in their house but I do for investigative purposes. All 5 humidistats are maybe 1% different and ALL 5 confirm this device is 10-15% off. I purchased this humidifier specifically for the digital humidistat.

    I like this and bought 2 more to cover the two-story apartment better. I've got 2 by the furnace intake on the first floor so the humidified air gets distributed, and one in my room. Set at 45% humidity, the 2 on the 1st floor are almost constantly on and need to be refilled every day or two. When it got super cold outside (0F and below), they couldn't keep up, but still improved the air a lot. The one in my room stays off most of the time when it's not near or below 0 Fahrenheit, and only needs to be changed once or twice a week. I like these because they don't have a water tank. Just fill the container that also holds everything else. Easy to clean and fill because it's basically a bucket with places to put the evaporative filter things and a fan connected to the lid. It's slightly tricky to put the filters back in place each time, but I eventually got the hang of it. It could also be refilled without removing the filters, but I like to clean it each time and also add something to prevent mildew and want it to mix in the water before the filters try to soak it up.

    works well - BUT it's very annoying that the blue fan light remains on and blinking when the fan is turned off. the only way to turn it off seems to be unplug the thing.

    I’m happy with this. After trying three different humidifiers and returning them, this one worked. It maintains the humidity in my apartment, is easy enough to clean and does what it says.
