It looks very nice in the room and it is easy to filI. I got this one because I liked the idea of using tap water instead of paying for a ton of distilled water. Unfortunately I can see the minerals (?) in the air. That is even with using the recommended demineralization tabs. Another weird thing is that it is messing with my gas range. The flames are orange instead of blue if the humidifier is running, or has been run recently. Consequently, I only run the humidifier after dinner and set it to go off well before breakfast.
