By M. Burke (St. Paul, MN USA) ...I went looking for an affordable ultrasonic humidifier because I was tired of noisy fans and the other problems associated with evaporative machines. After a lot of research, I decided to try this one, partly because of its simplicity and partly because of pricing (i.e. not a disaster if it didn't work out). I was a little dubious about the small reservoir size, but it's not a problem at all. To keep a rather large room at ca. 35% in the dead of winter in MN (very dry subzero weather), one fill will last a bit over 24 hours, and of course longer than that in less extreme conditions. It's perfectly simple to fill and clean, and wonderfully quiet--just a steady hum that I barely notice, with occasional little glurps.
So far I've only seen a little white dust on the device itself, but not on nearby surfaces. The vapor seems to circulate best (i.e. up and out into the room) when it's placed well off the floor. On a 30" shelf, the vapor tended to flow downward, so I used a milk crate to raise it up a bit more, and that solved the problem. The only issue I've had with it so far was a fairly strong plastic/chemical smell at the beginning, but that's been diminishing with use. It's a great improvement over any of my previous humidifiers.

We use this in our Music room/ Den in an arid climate and because it has done a wonderful job of keeping my husbands' guitars in perfect shape, and as a additional bonus has helped me from getting my usual winter attack of sinusitis I'm buying another for the bedroom. Color me tickled pink!
Pros: It's quiet. It does everything you need it for. Safe cool mist (for around kids) Completely adjustable. no leaking, not a problem in a year of use. Once the room was stabilized, (all the wood was very dried out, including shelves, futon frame, and picture frames) we were able to keep it so low we only add water once a week.
Better than the others: We bought two other manufacturers offerings that leaked and were both twice the price before gladly finding this one! I am so leery of selecting ANYTHING different I am ordering another penguin.
Cons: The only slight drawback, It can make the surface under it a little damp from condensation, suggest not placing on carpet or table runner. I just use it on a hard surface now still no noise!
