    It’s a Great value for having a 1 Gallon tank and it is real simple to take apart for cleaning. Remember not to add scents directly to the water because oils will ruin the ability for your humidifier to generate steady steam. It has a handy cup on the top to add scented oils and warm mist creates a better opportunity to diffuse oils but this will never get hot enough to the point where it will affect the temperature within your room. For an open space, get something bigger but for a simple small to medium sized room, this is perfect. Also, you can buy a variety pack of oils, right here on the Best Buy Website. *The Scent Cup is that little bowl at the top left of the picture.

    Worth the spend! I like this so much I bought a second one. If you set the mist on the low setting it lasts for 24 hours, 8-12 on full mist. The spot for essential oils is a nice touch. You really can feel the difference in the air quality of a room when they aren’t running.

    We like this product very much. Our house is small, just under 1500 sq ft, and this humidifier keeps the humidity in the 42% range. We used to run 3 other units, similar in size, to get in the 40's. We use distilled water and so far, cleaning the unit has been a breeze. It is easy to clean and it must be cleaned....all humidifies have to be cleaned. We use 1 to 2 gallons of water per day depending on how dry the house is and believe me, in the winter our house is as dry as the Sahara. The first picture was supposed to show the nice stream of steam, but it also shows where we keep it. It's not unobtrusive, but it has clean lines and is kind of sleek looking. The second picture shows you the conditions in our house. Notice the 41%, without the humidifier we'd be around 30-33%. I do recommend this product.

    I always read reviews but I've never had a bad enough experience to leave a rotten one. I'm breaking that now and telling you stay far far away from this. I bought two.. one from Best Buy and one from another big box store. They worked fine for a bit.. couple weeks.. and then both of them leak like mad. You can't tell when the leak is going to come.. it might be when you turn the machine off and wait a couple minutes or it might be when it's very low in water and you go to refill it. It has really ruined one of my wood floors and soaked through foil and a tray that I had put underneath it. Fortunately the one in the kitchen just goes on to tile so at least it's not ruined. This is my humanitarian act to the world.. buy something different.

    The unit started to burn itself. This is a defective and dangerous appliance. Don't buy it. Bestbuy won't even take it back. Spare yourself a home fire. I wish I could give negative stars.
