Far and away the best humidifier I've found
I've used a bunch of the Cranes, a big dual-tank ultrasonic back in the day, and more recently one of the top-rated models here (TaoTronics). While they get the job done, they all have the same shortcoming - refilling the tank is annoying. You have to carry it over to the sink, open up the tank (after picking up the diffuser which you forget every time to take off), hum a song or three while you fill it, seal it back up and carry it back over to the machine.
The Keecoon totally solves this by making it refillable from the top, so you can take any ol' pitcher of water and pour it in. This also makes it easy to fill from a Brita pitcher, which will help reduce scaling. And because the unit is tall, you don't have to bend over. I cannot overstate how much better this is, and how that ease of use makes it much more likely that you'll keep the tank filled, which in turn means your air will stay more comfortably humidified. The instructions say not to refill when the unit is turned on, but frankly if you're careful it works just fine to fill on the fly.
The unit cranks out a lot of moisture, enough to fill a large (~1000 sq ft) space comfortably in a dry winter environment (an old leaky house in Cleveland, OH with a forced-air gas furnace that makes the place bone dry), and the 8L tank should last you all day on the highest setting. It's also dead quiet, takes up very little floor space and looks sleek. The only drawback for us Amurricans is the temperature is shown in Celcius and can't be changed to Fahrenheit (I'd suggest the manufacturer add a setting for that). It also includes a remote control, which seems superfluous to me, but it does work. We've only used it for a month or so, so can't comment on durability yet.
All in all, a wonderfully effective product - highly recommended!
