I have been aware of what a humidifier can do for keeping out moister and the smell of mildew from the basement, but I just keep putting it off. When I saw an ad for a new one at good price I gave it a try. This is the best thing I've done, and I'm mad at myself for putting off so long. My family loves the quiet, sleek and efficient machine. I highly recommend this product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
