Much larger and much nicer than anticipated.
By IslandSandy
I work at a drugstore and could have purchased any number of humidifiers and gotten a good discount. However, I wanted one that was more stylish for my master bedroom. Also, I was very sick with a sinus infection and simply wasn't well enough to venture out to make a purchase. I looked on amazon.com and found the SPT brand had good reviews. This item in particular caught my eye because of the unique design. FYI it also comes in purple, blue and pink. I chose the white as my bedroom is white and turquoise. I paid extra to have it arrive the next day which was a Friday.

UPS delivered it around lunchtime on Friday. It was boxed well both from Amazon and the manufacturer. It comes encased in molded styrofoam. When I opened up the styrofoam my happiness floated away as it was half empty. The top air diffuser section was missing. Upon inspecting the rest of the humidifier I found it had been previously unpacked and the plastic bag around the cord had been ripped out so someone could get to the cord. Clearly this was a returned item.

I contacted Amazon online chat and they were very nice and offered a refund or replacement. I asked how long it would take to get a replacement and they said it would arrive on Monday. I explained to the representative that I was disappointed since I was sick and couldn't go out to purchase one and that I had paid extra to have it arrive overnight because I needed it right away. The representative had not been aware of this but when I told them they immediately told me they would send a replacement and it would arrive the next day. Sure enough Saturday morning around 10:30 UPS delivered a new humidifier!

Now for the second one. It contained all its parts! I was very impressed with the quality of the product and the stylish appearance. It really looks like a genie bottle! Initially I set it up on my kitchen to be able to watch it and make sure it worked properly. I used Brita filtered water and filled the tank 3/4 full. It ran all day on a low setting and when I took it to my bedroom turned it up to medium high and it ran all night and still had a lot of water left in the tank in the morning. Whether it was this humidifier or the antibiotics I had my first good nights sleep in six nights!

I found this unit to be exceedingly quiet aside from an occasional slight gurgle of water. The mist is silent at dispersion and does not spit or sputter. I like that the night light can be turned off and that it has a bright red "refill" button. I have not let it run out of water as yet so I can't speak to when that refill button comes on. Also, from reading other reviews on a variety of humidifiers I knew there was a possibility of water leaking so I placed a towel underneath. After running all day and night the towel is totally dry.

This unit is easy to refill with a removable screw in open/close knob on the bottom of t he tank. I do see that this will be an item that needs some upkeep on the tank. You will definitely need a bottle brush to be able to get inside and keep it clean as it does have some nooks and crannies.

After only one days use I can say I am pleased with the unit. I will update as time goes by with further information.

UPDATE: I have now had this unit about two weeks and have used it off and on during that time. I have been very pleased with its low water usage, unique night light feature, and the fact that the water doesn't spit or splatter. I had a towel under it the entire time and it never got damp at all.

One note about Amazon humidifier reviews. Very rarely is there a five star review on humidifiers! Seems every brand I researched has its difficulties which I attribute to two things. The first thing is the fact that you are dealing with a small appliance that uses water. The second thing is many difficulties could be avoided by reading the instruction manual. This particular humidifier comes with a great manual.

Great humidifier!
By alexis
I'm happily surprised with this humidifier. This thing put out A LOT of steam on the highest setting. It shoots right out of the top and looks like smoke billowing out or like those fog machines people use for Halloween. After a couple of hours, I could tell the air around me wasn't so dry. It felt like I could breath easier. We have a wood stove so the air in our home is super dry. This humidifier is attractive and I LOVE the added scent diffuser. I bought some lavendar oil to put into it and it works really really well. This humidifier will run about 8 hours on a full tank, going full blast. Its also got a blue light in it that you can switch on to use as a night light. Its easy to refill as well. I'd recommend this if you have dry air. Its a "cooler" looking humidifier than the run of the mill sort.

Update 12/19/12 After having this humidifier for about a month, IT BROKE!! I cleaned the machine out with a mild vinegar solution, didn't mess with any of the parts, and now it does not work. I'm so mad. Now I have to waste more money and buy another machine. I will never buy another thing from SPT. Good luck if you buy this. Mine broke so quickly and easily. Pathetic junk.

It's just okay
By g
I've had this product for about a month and a half. After the first day, the plastic piece that holds the fragrance diffuser bottle in place broke. At first I didn't know what it was, then when I took the diffuser out to check how much oil was left another piece broke off. It does say not to turn too tight, which I didn't and it still broke. I only have half the plastic left now. It still stays in place but I'm worried that it won't last through the next batch of oil I put in the diffuser.

I only notice a higher level of humidity when I turn the knob to the highest setting. This uses a lot of water and it won't last through the night. I haven't actually timed it, but I would say that if you leave it at the highest level, in 4-5 hours you won't have any water left. I only have a 8x8 room and I live in a tent on a base in Afghanistan. My room is closed off with walls and a blanket for a roof, so maybe the moister is being absorbed into them. It's so dry out here I was hoping this would help keep me a little moist! I've found that if I put it on the high setting for about an hour, then turn it down to the middle setting, it will last until morning (about 9 hours).

I can smell the fragrance, but lately I noticed a sour smell, like it's getting mildew in it. I've cleaned it several times and still get the smell. I only smell it from the hole where the mist comes out, not from the base or the tank. The mildew smell overwhelms my orange oil fragrance. I don't know what else to do with it. Everyday I empty the left over water, clean out the little "mist hole" and let everything dry out. I still get the smell after about an hours usage. The water I use is drinking water, so it's not coming from that. I think this would probably work good in a kids room, if it's of smaller size. Overall, I give it three stars.
