i bought this humidifier for my daughters room. i like this humidifier, however, it does not have an automatic shut off which i do not like. you cannot just fill it and forget it. it has a nice big thank tho that does last a few days. it claims it is "care free" which i do not believe. unless you only use distilled water in it, you will get a nice black puddle of water on the bottom from minerals that must be poured out and cleaned periodicaly. i like that it has a nightlight, how ever my daughter doesnt like the nightlight so we dont use it often. i also wanted this one because it says it has a fan also, but the fan only turns on when the humidifier dial is on high, and cannot work independantly. i was prety disapointed with that. but over all its a good humidifier and keeps the whole room well humidified.
