Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife was having bad sinus problems and her MD recommended getting a humidifier. We purchased this one at Lowe's and have had it for 8 years now. Within about a month after purchasing this and placing it near our return air vent, as recommended, in our 1500 sq. ft home, my wife's sinus problems were resolved. I actually can't believe how much better I can breathe in the mornings when I wake up with this thing running vs. when it's not running. We now live in an 1800 sq. ft. home and it still serves our purposes well. It goes through about 1 tankfull of water per day during the cold days when the heat is running. I just fill it before bed each night. It is very quiet. We keep it in our bedroom beside the return air vent (right beside the bed)on the low setting and most of the time don't even realize it's running. I also purchase Holmes Bacteriostat and add about an ounce each time I fill the unit, which keeps the unit clean and never allows any bacterial growth (which ruins your filter). I only have to purchase about 1 filter and 1 bottle of bacteriostat per year. Without the bacteriostat you will go through filters like crazy. I recommend this item regularly to friends, family, and my own patients. This has been one of the best investments I have ever made! For your health...for your family's health...Get one!
