Our Drop Humidifier has been a staple in our home for years now. From tiny stuffed noses to those inevitable preschool colds a humidifier is a necessity! I love this model because it's easy to clean and maintain, plus the force of the mist is very easy to control. It's also very quiet. I would give it 5 starts, except that even with regular cleanings with vinegar, white scale still builds up on the black part in the center of the base.
