This is a very nice looking unit. It runs very quietly at it's lowest fan speed and can put out a lot of moisture at it's highest (10) speed. The only drawback we have had is that it is difficult to see the water level. At first we overfilled the unit and had about a quart of water overflow onto our carpeting. At that point we started taking the unit apart (it is 2 pieces) by lifting the outer shell off. We then learned to just use a flashlight to look into the tank with the front filler door open. It comes with an attachment that fits the filler door when open to extend the opening, but we do not use it. It is a lot more convenient to fill versus pulling the tanks out of our old unit. Would buy again.

My wife and I decided to get this humidifier for out upcoming newborn. We live in Arizona, where it's really dry and we read that babies need humidity for their un-adapted skin. When it was delivered, the box was in horrible shape, so I suspected the worst, and I was pretty much right. After getting it out of the box, I noticed the square decorative piece of stone was smashed, and the corners of the top of the unit had markings on it, like they had been folded or something, you know how you take a piece of flimsy plastic and fold it in half, it leaves a mark at the fold that's lighter than the rest of the piece, that's what this looked like. The unit itself is made of plastic, flimsy in my opinion. There is a float inside that attempts to tell the display when the water is low, and that doesn't work all of the time, sometimes it just says it's empty even when it's full, so I had to tape the sensor inside up in this case, so the unit just thinks it's always full, and I check it periodically. There is a door to fill it at the front of the unit, but it's completely worthless, as there's no way to tell when it's full from the door, unless by chance you have the unit plugged in and the sensor happens to work on that occasion when you're filling it, so I just take the whole top of the unit off to fill it. I contacted the company about the broken stone, and they were relatively quick about sending out a new one, so that was one upside. Also, the unit does do its job, it runs when it's supposed to, and keeps the humidity in the house at a healthy level, and it's quiet as long as you don't turn the fan up past level 5. But for the price, I expected better quality, so I'd be hard pressed to recommend this unit to anyone.

My ex is a humidifier person, so I learned from the best. This is a sweet humidifier. Nice and seemingly accurate and well engineered controls, nice marble top and perfect for my purpose. Gets loud once you get into level 5-10. Level 1 is quiet and gets my 12 x 16 master bedroom about 55% (I'm in uber-dry Las Cruces, NM too...) Worth the $.

This is the worst humidifier design. I love Essick brand, but this design is hard to fill, hard to clean, doesn't seem to hold that much. After I finally got tired of complaining everyday, it was too late and too expensive to return. So now I have an expensive, plastic plant stand!!!
