Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this humidifier a little over a year ago and have been using it pretty consistently in my upstairs kitchen and living area. I have since purchased a few more other, cheaper humidifiers, which make me really appreciate all that this one has to offer. I think this option is a really great value, and I’ll explain why. This humidifier is much more heavy duty than the other ones I’ve purchased in the $25-$30 range. The components and parts seem really high quality, especially after buying some cheaper options which I’ve found to be incredibly chincy and fragile. This is the style you fill from the bottom, meaning you will have to remove the tank from the base, flip it over, and unscrew the cap to fill. I’ve never owned or used any other kind of humidifier, as this style does not bother me. The features on this thing are actually really useful and part of the reason I love it so much. When it’s time to fill with water or clean, you can unplug the cord from the unit and take it over to the sink. This is especially nice for dumping the water that inevitably sits in the base of the unit.. this happens on every humidifier I’ve ever purchased, so to easily be able to just dump it before I fill the tank again is really nice and convenient. My cheaper humidifiers don’t have a removable cord and I didn’t realize how much I appreciated that until it wasn’t an option. There are also four different settings you can choose from on the unit to suit many different needs. The settings are as follows: low, low with light, high with light, high. I absolutely LOVE the ambiance this light provides. It is a gorgeous, calming blue color and I keep it on all the time. Mine basically stays on the low with light setting at all times, and I have to refill once every two days. I have not had a single problem with mold, even after I let it sit for a month over the summer. But the base is very easy to clean with the cord removed, and the water tank I clean with a bottle brush. I also recently purchased Aqua Sticks which just sit in the tank and they seem to be working, as I have not noticed any odors, grime, mold etc. Overall, my opinion would be to spend the extra $10-$15 on a nicer unit like this one, because the features are well thought out to enhance convenience and usability. I have had zero problems with mine and would highly recommend it!
