Customers enjoy the 1.6-Gal. Ultrasonic Warm and Cool Mist Humidifier's quiet operation and ease of use. The remote control feature allows for convenient humidity and run-time adjustments. Many appreciate the warm mist option and the fine mist produced. Overall, the humidifier receives positive feedback for its functionality and user-friendliness.
I've been running this unit non-stop for nearly a month and aside from having to refill it so often (to be expected from a unit this size), I have nothing but good to say about it. It produces a very noticeable cloud of mist which is atomized finely enough to be absorbed into the air before it is two feet from the unit. Most importantly, there is no fine white powder residue all over everything near the unit as is common with many other ultrasonic humidifiers! This unit has a nice appearance, a display that is easy to read from across the room, is reasonably quiet while operating and provides clear notice when it is out of water via a red light (and a distinctive clicking sound as it cycles on and off - some might find this annoying but I rather like it because it is tough to ignore!). I have this in a 350 sq ft spare bedroom I use as an office and although it has raised the humidity level from under 15% to roughly 25%, I can't seem to get it any higher than that despite running it non stop for a month (excluding the short periods when it runs out of water overnight - a full tank empties in roughly 4 hours when set to max output). Not sure where all the moisture goes but that's a different problem- at this point I'm looking for a larger capacity version that can produce even more moisture (or else I buy another of these). Not sure what the ionizer or heater functions do - I've run with them on and off and don't really see any differences. This unit would probably be great for a very small bedroom but based on my experience, I would not use it in larger rooms or rooms with significant airflow only because I doubt it will produce enough moisture to make a noticeable difference.

This humidifier works great as an hot/cold product. We really wanted something that could do both warm mist and cool, so it wins there. It puts out a good amount of mist and fairly high into the air. In the dead of winter it makes a difference even in our very large bedroom (note keep ceiling fan off though unless you will lost the benefit). I like the settings, that it displays the room temp, humidity level. Being able to set it for desired humidity and or hrs to run is nice. Does not leave any white dust with the ion feature also. Reservoir is nice and large, you can fill it up and get an easy 10+ hrs straight usage on warm mist out of it, maybe more. Now the one downside, it beeps every time you touch a button! Trying to set this in the middle of the night when someone is sleeping sucks! It also beeps when it runs out of water and turns off and a few other times. Does not really bother me but my wife hates that one part! An option to turn off the beep and maybe even the light (light blue not too bad as about all humidifiers have them now) would be much appreciated.

Easy to set up. Will pump out plenty of humidified air on one tankful. Quiet operation even when running full blast. Does not leave white residue on surroundings. Has <heat> option that warms the water before vaporizing it and that tends to keep the humidifier from chilling the room. Will be buying another one for the Mother In Law.
