Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This humidifier DOES work in that it does create a nice full water vapor stream - HOWEVER, thats as far as it goes functionally. Let me explain: 1. Starting with the fact that the handle on the tank actually says: "Do NOT use handle when tank is full" - yes, I kid you not, this is what it says ON the handle itself - why put in a handle that you cant use? As a result you have to carry the tank with both hands. 2. It has a light that cannot be turned off, so good luck sleeping w this thing in your bedroom. 3. It has to be refilled CONSTANTLY - I did it morning and night. 4. The tank will NOT stand up due to the awkward shape when off the unit, so to fill it, you have to stand there holding it under the faucet. 5. The way its designed, the tank drips every time you take it out to refill - a real pain. 6. But here is by far the worst aspect - Cleaning it is a NIGHTMARE - The base is full of little nooks and crannies that you have to get to w a Q-tip - its full of odd angles, grooves, etc. so good luck trying to get the gunk that accumulates off every couple of days. 7. It has NO antibacterial prevention WHATSOEVER, no filter, no uv light, no silver ion exchange, nothing. If theres something in the water or if something starts breeding in all the crevices youll just breath it right in. 8. The TANK ITSELF is impossible to clean due to the small opening but widening interior - and the central tube where the water vapor comes out...good luck cleaning that, you have to work a cloth or paper towel or whatever by pushing and pulling it through up and down the tube. I actually bought it here at Amazon and went by the very reviews you probably read and, seeing it has mostly positive ones, I decided to buy it. Am I the only one that sees this humidifier as the worst possible design? How on EARTH is it getting so many good reviews? But dont take MY word for it, go to a store before ordering it here so you can see it with your own eyes first hand - dont judge it by the "cool look"; actually get it out of the box, pull up the water reservoir and see whos telling the honest truth here. DONT BUY! Real pain!
