We have been using our Honeywell Cool Mist Humidifier for about a month now.  I love the huge reservoir which means less refills. It is also very quiet.  I sleep with it next to the bed and can hardly hear it.  We live in the dessert, so a humidifier is a must.  Well built and I expect it to be running for years to come like my previous Honeywell Humidifiers!
