[Returned] Not a "misting" system.
"THIS UNIT DOES NOT PRODUCE A MIST."
This is not a "Cool Mist" system, it is a cheap (fiber) wick humidifier with a variable speed (3 position) fan. The wick sits in a pool of water, and a fan draws air over the saturated wick.
Our physician's orders strictly specified a cool mist system, and not a wick humidifier - and the owner's manual even states "...unit does not produce a mist." The wick will become contaminated, and will grow mold on it over time - even with the UV sterilizer in the water tray.
I cannot and would not recommend this unit to anyone. Certainly not someone with small children who need a "cool misting" system.
Am returning it as soon as I can get an RMA from Amazon.
If I could give negative stars for false advertizing by Honeywell, I would.
