Now that it’s winter our heat is always on due to have young kids at home. The air is always dry and we are always itching due to dry skin. I got this to try and it works great. It’s quiet and holds quite a good amount of water. Since we started using this the boys don’t complain of itch anymore and they’re not constantly sniffling. I also noticed a decrease in nose bleeds for my 2 boys. I would recommend if you have allergies or are exposed to dry air.
