portable humidifiers

   It is true, this humidifier makes absolutely no noise! It is also very simple in maintenance. I use it in the office with spring water (delivered) so i have no need to clean the tank after three full month usage. It does not make any furniture wet. It's labeled as a cool mist, but the mist is not exactly cool or cold, it is a room t*. I wish i could find all these qualities in a bigger humidifier because now everybody in the office wants it, and i am thinking of buying a bigger machine to cover 1700 sq foot of our small office. Or i could buy two units like this one. Have not decided yet. If anybody knows a 3-4 gallon machine as good as this one, please send me a link! I strongy recommend this humidifier for a mid size room (up to 500 sq f)

   I've had the "Crofton" version of this same humidifier for almost 6 years. The brand changed to Sunpentown during the time. I bought it in east coast, used it nightly in winter every year. I had it shipped to west coast when I was relocated. I use it whenever I remember to year-around due to the dry weather. Recently I brought it from home to my office and put it right next to my desk to get daily moisture. It's been working faithfully all this time. The best advantage when it's compared against others -- It's quiet! Even sitting right next to my ear, I don't notice its existence. It's very important when you leave it on while asleep or working. But you got to watch the water level. When it gets too low, beeping alarm can startle you. It's good to have the safety feature. So no complaints. I used to clean the base every other day, now reduced to weekly. No accumulation of anything so far. Neat as new. :)

   I live in a small studio apartment in which the heating is centrally controlled, so my apartment tends to get much too warm and very, very dry, especially at night, even with a window open. Once I received this humidifier, it was very easy to set up and worked perfectly. No problems with water leakage or anything- the tank cap locks in pretty tightly. It is extremely quiet- I run it mostly at night and it doesn't bother me at all, even when on it's highest setting. So far I have not had to refill the tank very often and it stays full throughout the night- throughout many nights actually! I sleep much more comfortably and the room is not dry anymore (no more dry skin, scratchy throat, etc. in the morning too). I highly recommend this humidifier and I am very happy with my purchase of it.
