We love this humidifier! The shape has always been a favorite for our home, and when we were in need of a new humidifier, we decided to give this one a try. The nightlight setting is the perfect level of brightness and is our favorite feature besides the actual humidifier part. It transitions through colors that shine through the water in the humidifier. The noise machine doesn’t go very loud but provides a nice consistent and calming white noise. We haven’t tried the essential oils option but the humidifier portion runs so quietly and has been working very well for weeks so far.
