I live in a very dry area, but I’m from the southeast so I’m used to there being a lot of moisture in the air. I’ve tried SOOO many humidifiers, but always end up having problems since I can’t clean them properly. The entrance to this one is nice and large so you can get a scrub brush in it and keep it nice and clean. The mist is super fine and the light is nice and bright, but not too bright that it keeps you awake at night. I love the cute design and the fact that it has a cover to the actual water tank.
