I bought this on clearance from Target, wish I had seen the reviews here. I took it back the same day because it is incredibly loud. I don't know what they did, but the fan makes a terrible noise, and the low setting is only slightly quieter. I have aHoneywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleanerwhich some people complain about being noisy, and it is dead silent compared to this thing.Aside from the noise it also seemed very likely that the filters would get moldy quickly, and the unit doesn't seem to have any way to detect whether or not there is water in it, so even when it's dry it will keep running. It also doesn't have a visible humidity readout, so there's no way to measure how well it's working.This product has turned me off to the Holmes brand name altogether. It this a fluke, or are their other products this poorly designed?
