I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this product. The first one I got from amazon stopped after the first 10 mins, but the second works fine. I have had it for 2 weeks. I have it up on a chest of drawers with a towel under it (based on reading the other reviews), but have not had any leaks when I run it at the lowest setting.It does the job and my room feels much more comfortable. I like that you can see it working because of the puff of moisture.. the blue light is cool too.
