" ... The actual controls are the most feature-rich of any humidifier I've ever used too. ... This one not only has controls, but lets you set it to automatically maintain a specific humidity percentage. ... "

" ... The mist is stronger (still a very fine mist or vapor) and more consistant on this model, and the buttons are nicer. ... "
" ... The color display control is easy to use. ... "
" ... Lighted dial is quite helpful in seeing that humidity is actually increasing. ... "
" ... Easy to control humidity levels. ... "
" ... Controls were easy to figure out. ... "

" ... Even my wife is commenting on how much better she feel with the cool mist in our bedroom. ... "
" ... I've been using for couple day the machine make the room feel nice and fresh. ... "
" ... I’ve used many humidifiers including Honeywell and Crane animal cool mist. ... "
" ... It helps to keep normal humidity in air if you use it in average room. ... "
" ... I use it for my large plant collection during winter and they love it. ... "
" ... So in love with this humidifier I bought a second one for my son's room, allergy agitations during the night have been minimized ever since! ... "

" ... I like the delay start, sleep timer and sleep mode. ... "
" ... And sleep mode it helpful for those that need a dark room to sleep! ... "
" ... I have the system run somewhere between 8 and 10 hours every evening while I'm sleeping. ... "
" ... Since we purchased the ultrasonic cool mist humidifier we sleep better and wake up feeling great. ... "
" ... It is an incredible performer with a digital display and many great options from adjustable output to timed function and dimming capability during sleep hours if desired. ... "
" ... - Built-in humidity sensor + allows you to set actual % of AH and output levels as opposed to your usual "level 1 through 4" or "sleep/max" dials that don't really tell you much. ... "
" ... The lighted digital controls can be turned off with a "sleep" setting, although if we turn the unit so it faces away from us, the amount of light is not an issue, even in a fully darkened room. ... "
" ... It is very quiet, I adore the sleep setting, it still makes vapor, but not so much as to make the air uncomfortably moist. ... "

" ... The lights on the display are bright, but press the "moon" icon and it goes almost completely dark (leaving only one thing lit, perhaps just to make it clear the thing is still active.) ... As long as you're not directly looking at that display at night it won't be a problem at all. ... "
" ... The digital read is bright and clear. ... "
" ... The color display control is easy to use. ... "
" ... Nice to have the humidity displayed on the screen! ... "
" ... The display face does glow pretty bright but we have no other nightlight so it actually helps when I'm feeding him in the middle of the night. ... "
" ... I like the digital display. ... "
" ... The Color LED display is the spark spot in the design. ... "

" ... Little directional cap on top is a struggle to secure. ... "
" ... It wouldn't even have to have a strong seal -- some sort of flap might even be good enough if you didn't have to turn the thing over. ... Since the part that aims the moisture coming out is loose, you have to first pry it out (which is hard while it's upright since it fits tightly down inside a hole) or it's going to fall out and bounce on the floor (possibly going under something) the moment you turn the tank over. ... I will probably put in some putty or something to hold it semi-permanently in place later (I'm almost tempted to glue it, but then I could never turn it in a different direction obviously.) ... "
" ... Cheap plastic parts broke on first use. ... "
" ... You have to take the tank off, turn it upside down, and then fill it from the bottom, flip it back over and put it back in place. ... "
" ... ****Base developed crack and leaked all over dresser and floor. ... "
" ... Poorly designed - made in China (I should have known). ... "
" ... - The height of the tank makes refilling the tank itself also painful. ... "
" ... Every time u take the tank out of the base a loose part on top of tank will fall down it's a piece should made attach, now changing water become a very tough job I need to be careful on moving parts, bath fill only and always need to turn on light so I won't touch the stupid buttons . ... "

" ... No doubt it looks better and is easier to fit in really tightly packed shelves (but you really should have it separate anyway since it's outputting a lot of moisture very fast which isn't going to be good for most of the things you'd put on a shelf) but if it had a shorter and wider tank it could have the same capacity while being much easier to fit in a normal sink. ...

" ... Empty a half inch and it runs perfectly. ... "
" ... This unit worked out of the box, holds plenty of water (we refill every other day). ... "
" ... Very quiet and the large capacity water reservoir is wonderful! ... "
" ... Pros: Large capacity - about 1.2 gallons easily fit into the reservoir without risking it overflowing while filling. ... "
