We bought this humidifier with the birth of our first child and I am so glad we did.  We have since bought one for each of our children.  These humidifiers are extremely easy to use and clean.  Each night, we fill up the tank, screw on the cap and start it up.  We empty it in the morning and let it sit out on the bathroom.  We clean/sanitize each weekend which is very easy.  There are very minimal parts and very safe for kids.  We also love that this looks so great in a child's room.  My kids can't sleep without it now because it provides a soft noise and nightlight.  We even travel with them!  I have a son with asthma and allergies and believe this has been a lifesaver for him.  I would not change a thing about these humidifiers and highly recommend for families!
