Excellent Humidifer, Highly Recommended!

I purchased a humidifier because the Northern air gets so dry, and then running heaters in the winter time, compounds the matter even worse. Did you know that experts have proven that, if the air gets too dry, you can get sick easier? I feel so much better when I humidify the air, I breath easier, and sleep easier as well. Plus, if the air gets too dry, you can also shock yourself on everything in your home, thats usually an indicator that your humidity is bellow 30%. I also purchased a humidity meter from the acurite brand, as I like to know where my humidity levels are at all times. Just for reference, if you can keep your humidity levels around 40% to 50% MAX, you will live happier. I have owned this humidifier for 2-years now, and I can tell you right now, that longevity is pretty good so far. I bought this for large rooms, so that I have the output if necessary. The resovoir holds up to 1-gallon of water, and its really easy to fill. Just lift the container off the base, flip it over, remove the fill cap, fill all the way up, replace cap, put container back down onto base. On the first use, you will see lots of bubbles, while the water fills up the base resovoir where the transducer is located, that creates the ultra sonic vaporization. This unit comes with two nozzles. The directional nozzle, and the 2-way nozzle. Use the directional nozzle when placing this unit near a wall, you obviously don't want to shoot water vapor into your wall. When used in an open space where there is at least 3 feet all around the unit, use the 2-way nozzle to get higher flow. Additionally, the on/off knob also controls the flow amount. Depending on how bad the humidity is, use 50% to 75% flow, for small rooms. For use in large rooms, maintain 100% flow unless water begins to form around the unit and surface it is on, then back off on the flow. This is why I highly recommend the use of a humidity meter. I like being able to know where my humidity is at all times. I do not want to exceed 50%, as it will get far too humid. But I also don't want to drop bellow 30%, and would rather keep it at a happy 40% medium. Its also nice having the meter cause in the summer time, we don't want humidity, so I can pay attention to what the humidity is doing, while I run the 2-AC units. Also, this unit has a LED light mode, up to three colors can be chosen, and can be turned on by pressing the touch sensor button, just above the flow control knob. I do wish that the max flow had a higher rate then it does, and a higher push into the air. However, for what it does do, I am pretty happy with it. This unit is also fairly easy to clean as well. I use filtered water from a Britta jug, so the deposits don't get too bad. If you use tap water, you will only breath disgusting water vapor, and will lesson the life of your unit, making cleaning more difficult. Using filtered water, I only really need to do a rinsing once a week, and a cleaning of the transducer, with the included brush. And a final cleaning with 1-cup distilled white vinegar with mostly water solution, before putting up for storage. Keep the unit clean and you should have no problems. I highly recommend it, 5-STARS! UPDATE Jan 7th 2019! I wanted to give everybody an update on how this humidifier is doing. It is now 3-years old, and it is still working! I know, hard to believe, when we know how quickly things die these days due to planned obsolescence. I have the humidifier running right now infact, as after the rains stopped again, the humidity went down to 34%, and I decided to start humidifying. The unit is still in pretty good condition, I do have some discoloration within the transducer area due to wear, I don't think much can be done about that besides a straight vinegar cleaning. Speaking of which, I have run a 1-cup vinegar to full tank of water in the tank to clean it out. I just let it sit for 30-minutes, and then cleaned it out. Now, if the deposits that form that yellow gooyness is really bad, the vinegar treatment will at least break it up to make it loose its bond, then you can fish a paper towel through inside the hole to clean off the bottom inside of the tank. Again I can't stress enough how important it is to use filtered water. Companies advertisements always lie to consumers making them think they can use tap water. Sure, but if your tap water is hard water like ours, it will dirty up your humidifier so darn fast, you'll be cleaning it every day! At least filtered water, such as that from a Britta jug container, will at least extend your cleaning times to once per week, and then at least 1 or 2 vinegar cleanings per year of use. Cleaning is important with this product for your health, as you want to breath clean moisture in the air, but don't cause yourself unnecessary labor by using tap water please. The humidifier is still able to push out its full power as it did in the first 2-years of use. One thing I've noticed over the years is, the colder the water is, the longer it takes to get going. We keep our Britta jug in the fridge, cause I don't like to drink room temperature water, and when the freshly cold water runs in the machine, it takes time for it to build up the moisture vapor till its going full strength. But this machine does a really good job in bringing up the humidity in the room. One of the things I like about it as well, is that its efficient on power consumption. Since were using a lot of electricity running space heaters, since its winter and all, I am grateful for the low consumption of the unit. Anytime you have a heating device, it uses a lot of power. Its just one of the reasons why I don't like steam based humidifiers, cause your running elements in there that draw a lot of power. And cold running humidifiers, use transducers, which generate ultrasonic vibrations, which vaporizes the water instead, while a onboard fan, pushes the vapor out. I still highly recommend this humidifier and I keep the rating at 5 out of 5!

You can't beat the value of a life-changing product

I am new to humidifiers....I moved to the midwest a couple years ago from Florida and never needed one before. I was feeling terrible all of the time during the winter. I could barely breathe, wheezing constantly with horrible allergies, waking up in the middle of the night because my wheezing was so bad. I finally was like, "hey, maybe a humidifier thing will help???" and ordered this on Amazon because it's the best seller and looks nice. Also, didn't want to invest too much into something when I had no idea how it would affect me and this is only $40. Literally in one night I felt like a new person.....my allergies stopped, my wheezing stopped, I could start breathing again like a normal person. I barely even need to take my allergy medicine anymore. Fast forward 6 months later and my asthma and allergies are virtually gone, I've lost 30 pounds because I have the health and energy to move and breathe. My lips used to be so bloody and chapped I could barely move my mouth...now I don't even need chapstick. I felt so stupid that I didn't get this the previous winter. I wish someone told me how important having one of these is!!! A few months later I went ahead and bought another one because I was sick of moving it from room to room. NOW - if knowing what I know now, would I still get this particular model? I'm not sure. I have been looking to possibly upgrade, although since summer is approaching I'm going to wait. I was looking at this Everlasting Comfort Ultrasonic Humidifier (6L) -Essential Oil Tray, High Mist Output, Adjustable Knob and 360 Deg. Nozzles. Ultra Quiet, Auto Shut Off, Night Light, Large Capacity Vaporizer, which is Amazon's choice and has better reviews than this one. It seems to have some cool features, like auto-shut off, lasts longer, and covers a bigger area (although the tank size appears to be the same?). However, I'm not sure how much of the extra price on that is because of the essential oil tray, which I don't care about at all. CONS: It can definitely get things wet, although I read that for the more expensive machine too. On high (which I use) it will run out in about 8 hours. I have to top it off before falling asleep. It has no auto-shut off, so it will just keep blinking red indefinitely when it runs out. Some people have complained that you can't turn off the blue power light....honestly, I don't care about those kinds of things at all. I actually love the light, and having the light on the humidifier on consistently. I have also read some people having issues with bacteria....I haven't had that probably yet, thankfully, but I do make sure to have it filled and running 24/7 and not have water just sitting around. I do think it would be nice if it were easier to clean, but for $40 (and sometimes it goes on sale) I have to say I think I'd be okay if I had to replace it in a year or two for that price. I have had one for 6 months and one for 2 and both are fine so far. Honestly, I am just really thrilled with how much this has helped me. I have become probably too dependent on it! When I go anywhere I miss it. If it runs out when I'm asleep I wake up wheezing. Oh, also...just a tip. I used to have EXTREME dry eye, and instead of buying an extremely expensive eye drop prescription that my doctor gave me, I just used this along with fish oil capsules and my eyes are near perfect now. Go to to the store and buy fish oil capsules (I highly recommend non-burp because they are coated and don't stink) and religiously take the maximum every day. It will dramatically help with your dry eye. Great product! Totally worth the $40.

Great humidifier for the bedroom

I often wake up with or get sinus headaches overnight and feel dehydrated and so I don’t sleep well. After research I found out that a humidifier can help and after reading mostly good reviews I bought this one to try in my bedroom. It has really helped! It is really quiet which is great but the power button is bright and I like a dark room so I have to stand something in front of it. It also unexpectedly has an American plug so I then had to buy a USA/English adaptor which was a nuisance more than a problem. I also hadn’t realised that you should use distilled water in it. I initially bought a 5litre bottle but that lasted less than a week. It is going to be a pain and expensive to have to keep buying the water especially as you can’t get them from the supermarkets. I don’t know what would happen if you use tap water and as it is an expensive item I do not want to risk it. Overall though I am really pleased with it and it is certainly helping me sleep better and have far less headaches. Would recommend.

Small Humidifier, Big Relief for Dry Offices

Ive had this for over a year and I absolutely love this humidifier. I bought it for my office, and it has made a huge difference in a super dry work environment, especially during winter. It’s compact, but the tank is big enough that a full fill actually lasts me the entire workday, which I didn’t expect at all. I like taking short breaks and letting the mist hit my face to rehydrate my skin and clear up my nose after staring at multiple monitors all day. It’s super soft to inhale and don’t make me cough like other humidifiers. It’s quiet, easy to use, and doesn’t feel flimsy. I liked it so much that I ended up buying one for my wife’s office too. Simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s super easy to clean too.. not a lot of parts, so you can rinse and use small star cleaners to brush off any debris or stains.
