I buy these humidifiers because they are easy to clean & maintain, and they broadcast a nice mist.

There are no gooey-feeling in-the-water-filters to clean or replace. There is one little filter that cleans the air before it enters into the humidifier, but other than that there is none. It doesn't touch the water.

I have used these humidifiers to put in about 3 drops of essential oil to broadcast through my home daily. They work wonderfully. They are much cheaper than the expensive machines made for essential oils & I think they do a better job.

I have been using these humidifiers for years. I hope they don't stop making them!

By error, I received Kaz 4100 instead of Kaz4100K. The earlier model that I received lacked on and off switch, adjustable grill and two speeds. Nevertheless, I love the simplicity of this humidifier: filling machine from top without having to remove a tank, very very quiet and complete instructions such as "break in characteristics, maximum output will not be reached until unit has been used several times." Thnk you, Kaz!

My 15 month old daughter has a lot of sinus issues, so it's imperative that we run a humidifier in her room every night. The first humidifier I bought for her was the Kaz/Vicks 4100 impeller humidifier, and while I'll admit that it puts out a lot of mist and humidifies the room very well, it's nearly impossible to clean fully.

My biggest complaint is that a lot of the spinning and moving parts are encased in a plastic housing that you can't get into, and when I finally unscrewed the housing, the inside was caked in pink mold. Now, when I say I "unscrewed" the housing, I don't mean with a normal screwdriver. The screws are a special shape to keep people from being able to unscrew them and open the housing. Luckily, I had the appropriate screw tip in my toolbox, but when I opened up the housing, I was horrified by what I saw. This product is designed in such a way as to limit your ability to access and clean the most vital moving parts, so it is effectively a mold growing and mold spewing machine.

The mist output is great, but if the mist is spraying mold spores into your child's room, I'm thinking that's probably not a good thing. Ya think?

P.S. Consumer Reports rated the Safety 1st Ultrasonic 360 Degree Humidifier as one of their "Best Buys," and boy did they hit the nail on the head. I just bought one, and couldn't be happier with my choice. It costs $30, doesn't use filters, it's easy to clean, and the mist output is perfect. Having "been there" and "done that" with all these humidifiers, I can safely say that I'm finally satisfied with my purchase. Save your money on this one, and go buy the Safety 1st instead.

I have a two year old and a six month old that share a room, and both are congested with dry noses. This product is great for their room-it's whisper quiet (I would not put anything in their room that would chance waking them up-I like my sleep too!)and simple to use, no buttons, difficult filters. If I need to, I can sneak into their room and add water without having to take anything apart that might wake them. Just an easy, reliable product. I've had it for over a year now and is still as great as the day I bought it. I do clean and replace water daily, so that might be contributing to it's maintinence. To the lady with the black slimy water: Ewww! A filter isn't a magic wand, you have to do some manual upkeep yourself!
