I really like this humidifier because you have a couple choices for how you can fill it. You can take the lid off and lift the reservoir out with the handle to take it to the sink and fill it (like filling a bucket, NOT flipping it upside down), you can leave the lid on and fill it through the lid, or you can take the lid off and pour straight into the reservoir. If you decide to fill it through the lid, it is a little bit annoying because you have to pour very slowly. Otherwise the water comes swirling out and over the edge of the lid. I like that it’s a large capacity so it can last almost a full day on the high setting. I like the blue light that you can have on or off while it’s running. Really my only complaint, which isn’t a big deal, but could be solved with a slight redesign, is that the lid has a slot for the center column to line up with when you put it back on and it’s kinda hard to get it lined up. You just have to wiggle it around and mess with it for a moment to get it back on. It’s really not a big deal, but I’m sure it could be Resolved and then this would be literally a perfect humidifier. I did try to use the slot designated to put essential oils in, but I couldn’t smell the oil at all. That’s not why I bought the humidifier so to me it’s not a big issue.

Rating- 3/5 starsWhile this looks pretty, it is not user friendly when trying to clean. You cannot get into all of the spaces and you cannot open certain areas.Initially, was happy with this product. It sits nicely, the light is optional and it is quiet. I have been able to fill it and it lasts for a couple of days. Cleaning initially was not a problem until I got some pink mildew growing in it. To clarify, I have only used filtered water, no additives, no oils.When I went do a hard clean, it was really difficult to get into the nooks and crannies especially vapor canal. The piece does not come off nor does the very top piece for positioning. The design was not made to be user friendly for all parts. If you are not able to stay up on proper cleaning, this is not the product for you.

Works so far, with a few caveats, and I only got the darn thing yesterday. In brief: issues unboxing/setting up, pieces included that are not explained/mentioned in instruction manual, noise level, lack of desired operational features. Read on for details.1. Packaging tape did not peel off cleanly. As with many items, this ships with various pieces taped together. Tape must be removed prior to use. I've never had this issue, where the tape just falls apart into individual strings that must be scraped off with a fingernail? Also, the plastic wrap around the handle was REALLY reticent to come off. Maybe from the cold? I don't know, but these were unpleasant surprises.2. There is reference in the manual to a 'cleaning brush' but the silhouette doesn't resemble anything I received. I have a little soft, straight bristle brush like you might use on a shaver, and this weird two-part thing. (See pictures). I can see how the blue wand attaches to the foam bit to serve as a handle. Is this the cleaning brush? It's not a brush. The white area is made of foam-stuff with a rigid plastic center. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it!3. No mention is made in the manual but this DOES have a place you can put essential oils in. This little tray (pictured) snaps off the back and there is a foam pad in there. Now, do you apply essential oils to the pad, or remove the pad and put the oil in the container? I don't know, because it says nothing in the manual. It does tell me not to put water in the base or use detergents or humidifier cleaners or other branded filters, and generally you don't add essential oils directly to the main water supply. But....???4. Maybe it's not as loud when it has more water, but it is definitely audible. There is a noise of a motor--quiet, but distinct--but also a LOT of trickling. Some people may not mind the noise. It depends on how sensitive you are. I have two other humidifiers of different brands and types but they're neither of them this loud.5. Features of operation: it doesn't auto shut off when it's empty. This is really one of the handiest features a humidifier can have. This one doesn't have it.It also doesn't have any option for reaching a given humidity and then shutting off (and turning back on once it gets below a given level). You turn it on, and while it's fully variable from minimal to full-force, you'll just have to manually adjust it when you get to your desired humidity level *so you'll likely need some seperate item that indicates what the humidity actually is.Lastly, it would be nice if the cord were longer as humidifier placement is tricky. You want it fairly far away from walls, couches, electric equipment, etc, but you also don't want to trip over it because it's in the absolute center of the room. Or the cord. I made do, but it was pretty tightI'm not using the nightlight so I can't speak to that.

This is an efficient quiet product. I was particularly impressed with the whisper quiet operation of the mister. After turning it on, I actually wondered if it was working because it was so quiet. When I saw the mist rising from the top I realized yeah, it's working.I have been using this unit on a daily basis for over three months and it works flawlessly.My previous humidifier used heat to create vapor. I find the cool mister much quieter and efficient.I was concerned about other reviews complaining about leaks. I believe the leaks occur because people are topping off the tank. The handles are not water tight so don't fill the last 1/2 inch and you'll be fine. I get three or four nights of misting before I have to refill the tank. (6 - 8 hrs run time on low setting.)

My plants were kind of droopy due to the cold winter in Chicago, I decided to purchase this humidifier for extra moisture and I'm so glad I did,for it brought my plants back to life.

This really kicked up the humidity over the winter. I used it in the family room and it wooked well.

Humidifier is terrific for my plant room and is a necessity in winter as we heat only with wood.. Simple to operate and clean. Used one season without any problems.
