easy to use, easy to clean, smaller capacity means no long sitting of water, lovely warm mist
Humidifiers save my hair, my skin, my sinus' during our long, cold, dry Northern winters. I tend to use a cool mist humidifier in my bedroom (since I sleep with a husband and two large dogs and it gets really warm in there), and I prefer a warm mist humidifier everywhere else- warm just feels so nice. I sometimes boil water on my stove to help raise the humidity, but since I am not sitting next to the stove, I tend to carry a humidifier around with me from room to room. I have an old Vicks one that still functions, but I like the style of this one as it is easier to clean and set up wherever I am at. Takes up a bit less space.<br /><br />I think I measured it at being 9-10" wide at widest point, and about same in height. I currently use it most often next to me on the couch when I settling down for the evening (eat dinner, watch tv, veg out on couch with dogs). If I am going to be in my home office for long periods of time, i have moved it into there as well. If this continues to be a good one for me, I may just purchase another so I don't have to remember to move it around. I bet my dogs and my cats like it too since we have not been shocking each other as much when we touch.<br /><br />Water capacity is just a half gallon. I can keep it going for several hours on low, and I didn't keep track of how long on high. But low setting is supposed to be 13 hours. I would say that seems accurate. Overall,. I don't mind refilling it as I am not trying to use it for days on end. I actually prefer the slightly smaller capacity because it kinda grosses me out to use water that has been sitting for a long time. SO this is kinda perfect for me. But that is really just a preference thing.<br /><br />You will get greatest increase in humidity by using this in a small space, or if using in a larger space, then sitting next to it so you reap the benefits.<br /><br />One more thing.. It has an option for additives- a medicine cup/vapor pad tray. I haven't had to use that yet, fortunately :)<br /><br />I haven't any complaints or concerns at this time. If I experience anything notable, I will be back to update.
