I purchased this humidifier after my wife pestered me about how dry it was in our bedroom during the winter. This humidifier is extremely quiet, has solved her dry air problem, and is clearly the best looking humidifier on the market. This is a great humidifier for the price, and I would recommend it for anyone looking to improve the dryness of a bedroom or another room of equivalent size.Unfortunately, our first penguin had a fan issue after about 2 weeks (it got really loud). I emailed Crane customer service and they quickly responded, telling me to return the humidifier for a new one. Once I submitted return on Amazon, we received a new one in about 1.5 days. It has now been a few more weeks and our new humidifier is going strong. Great customer service.
