Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in a dry climate and in the cold months with the heater running, we buy bedside humidifiers for the whole family to keep from drying out and catching colds. Of all the humidifiers we've tried, this one is far and away the best. It has a ceramic filter which does not need replacement but keeps the unit from getting as dirty as quickly as other humidifiers. The control knob gives you a lot of control, ranging from a barely noticeable stream of mist to a thick fog pouring out the top. It's very nearly silent, so light sleepers shouldn't worry. Other reasons I love it: large water tank so you won't run out over night, a directional spout at the top to point the mist where you want it and a little brush beneath the tank for cleaning. I can't think of anything I'd change about this unit. I'm surprised I've never heard of Optimus before.
