I got this humidifier a couple of weeks ago as my house has been getting drier as cold weather has set in. I've never had a humidifier before, so I was a little bit daunted by setting it up initially - Fortunately, this wasn't a problem at all: The directions made it simple to get all set up and I had it running in no time. After one night of use, I could tell a major difference. My breathing was easier, and my skin wasn't nearly as dry as it had been before using it. My wife loves how easy it is to add essential oils to the aroma pads, and I must admit that the pleasant scents are a nice byproduct as well. Combine this with the fact that I can control it via the app, and this thing has been a great addition to house!
