I bought these free standing ones so they didn't have to take up space on dressers etc. So I like the floor standing design and also liked the small area on the bottom where the water sits in the base of the water area because we have some iron in our water (we do have a whole house filter system though for the iron) but I clean the inside of the water part alot and some you can't fit your hand up inside them and this one you can ( I checked before leaving the store) and the area to wipe clean is small so that part I liked. To fill these is a pain in the butt and you can't set it down after filling because it will tip over. When filling it's hard to hold and it gets heavier as the water fills it up. It won't sit like at the bottom of the tub under the facet you have to hold it. It's too big to fill at the bathroom sink so we fill at the tub.
36 hours run time; definitely NOT true it has to be re-filled each night and we even shut ours off during the day when we are at work. We only run it on low because like other's have said the fan is very loud, it's not a quiet fan lol so anything beyond the low setting is just way too loud.
Also what others say about the digital humidity level's; they do not work either it always reads the same even if the heat isn't on blowing or the room does not have high humidity or low humidity.
The water does disappear from the unit each night so it must be putting some moisture into the air but I wish I had not purchased these. :) Kind of disappointed as the info on the box etc sounded so good. And when you e-mail Bionaire regarding these or call they do not seem to care & do not get back to you.
Probably will not purchase a bionaire product again.

It has good features and is relatively good looking. It has a smaller floor footprint and can fit in a corner pretty well. The filters though need replacement every three months or so and they aren't cheap. And they can grow mold on them if you aren't on top of replacing the filter. If I had a re-do I would hesitate to buy this one again.Best Deals for Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier with BONUS 4 All Season Filters
Its a space saver,it work well but the filters will need to be replace.The instructions say wash in soap and water,but after doing so it wont get as clean as a new one.plus it only lasted about another week before i had to go buy a larger filter and cut it to size then it work properly . IF THE FILTER IS MADE OF STANDARD FILTER PAPER THEN IT NOT A PERMENANT FILTER. PS chicago has hard water its really bad on water filters.Honest reviews on Bionaire Cool Mist Humidifier with BONUS 4 All Season Filters
This little humidifier works well for an average to large sized room It is easy to refill the water. It's easy to take apart and clean. The controls are easy. It has a meter to tell you when the filters are in need of replacing. It has a small footprint, so it can fit in a lot of places out of the way, maybe in a corner. It's attractive, for a humidifier. It's reasonably quiet, even on high, for a humidifier. The quality of the materials seems good.It takes 2 filters that each measure about 5"x 5.3/4" x 1". I used it last winter, and the filters lasted about 2 months. Fortunately, it came with replacement filters, which lasted the rest of the winter. I used 2 sets of filters (4 filters total) over the winter (last winter). I have read that some people use more than that over the winter.
It looks like they cost about $5. per filter, give or take a few dollars, depending on the brand and quantity per package. For me, that's about $20 per year for each unit. I have two units, so that's $40 per year for filters. I suppose that's OK, but I think they should cost less.
I am looking for some type of bulk wicking material that I can cut to size. If I find something good, I will return and post my findings. If anyone reading this knows of some alternative, please let us know, thank you.

This humidifier is advertised as having "reusable" filters, you can just wash and re-use. This is not true; not only does washing them only give you about another day's use, the filters have a very short lifespan in general, compared to other wicking humidifiers.I do like everything else about this humidifier and I've just decided to stock up on filters. The built-in humidistat read-out is very useful in and of itself.Holmes HWF100 Humidifier Replacement Filter, Set of 3
