I brought this humidifier two years back and its still going strong. It was very easy to setup and does not make any noise. The best about this humidifier is the adjustable nose which is very handy . the look and style of this humidifier is so cool that you might not want to hide it behind the sofa instead keep it on the side table. it holds almost a gallon of water which is good for a day or two. the cleaning is easy too i just use vinegar and water. this is a nice value humidifier and it looks great too
