Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Loved this when I first got it for the large water rank and generous output. I did not like the lights as I used it in the bedroom and even though I turned them off, the "night" light version could not be turned off and was a bit bright for sleeping. Not being too light sensitive I could tolerate it. I used it every night and each morning I emptied and dried the unit. Last night when I filled it it no longer worked. No steam. And the lights which I never used would not come on either. The unit is DEAD after less than 30 days of use so it's being returned. I will not be buying another model like this as I was two days from being stuck with a $50 piece of junk. In defense of this product, it seems that a short life span is an issue with many of the electric diffusers. If anyone has a model that has a generous reservoir and that they have used for more than a year, I'd love to hear from you. I do want a diffuser but I want one that is durable enough to make its purchase worth the money I spend on it. 8/17/2005 I didn't know I could edit my original review until today. I had added a comment. I am leaving my star rating at 1 only because I know a lot of people read them. This product does deserve a 5 star review, and I do recommend purchasing it because the company stands behind its product, which I have found to be rare these days. Someone suggested that a lot of people do not read comments and that I should edit my original review so I copied my comment below into the review, and I suggest that people always read comments in reviews: MY COMMENT: The replacement arrived a few days ago and is working fine, so far. There have been a couple of changes made to the design that are worth mentioning. One is the nightlight. It is been dimmed by the manufacturer. It is now a soft white light that is perfect. To use it you have to switch off the other rotating lights. The other change is either the amount of water it holds or the rate at which full steam disperses it, as it no longer lasts the entire night (8 hours). I could run the previous one on full blast the entire night and it would still be dispensing steam when I awoke. This one is always out of water when I wake up. Not sure how many hours it lasts on full blast now, but I will turn it down a little bit and see if that makes it last all night. UPDATE TO COMMENT: It does last the night on a lower level and is perfect for my needs. Highly recommend this product.
