It works really well. Simple and easy to put together. It runs relatively quiet and has been great for our noses, and allergies. My only gripe is having to turn it upside down to fill it but it's a small gripe. Shipping was fast and it was packaged pretty securely. The only thing that's a con is the white dust that comes from using normal water with this Humidifier. The best option is to use distilled water else things in your house will be covered in white dust. I would recommend for a living room area but just note distilled or purified water for the humidifier.
