This humidifier would be so much better if you didn’t have to unplug the cord to dump the base. The base collects a lot of water and to refill it each night creates a mess. Using it in a nursery where you have cords hidden from small children makes it hard to do each night. The cone part on the top collects condensation and leave a water ring wherever you put it down. Then when you pull the tank off the base more water spills. I really wanted to love it but honestly don’t. Since it can’t be returned after using it, we are still using it but the design could much better. I do like that the light turns off after a few seconds so it doesn’t distract my baby and it also makes absolutely no noise.
