Unless you have a room the size of a coat closet, do not buy this product. I woke up with static cling in the morning after it had run all night. Not a good buy.

The unit has zero output (i.e., not working) after 1 month. Cleaning did not help. But it does not leak and it is easy to refill.

I bought this same one from Target last year for my daughters room. When it is on, it does what it is supposed to do, so I guess that is good. However as others have mentioned there is a “start” button feature which is really annoying and I will never buy another one even similiar to it again. You have to set it to low or high, whichever you want, and then you need to push down this start button. Since the mist doesn’t start coming right away it was hard to know if for sure the thing was even turned on or not. This was particularly troubling in the night when I was trying to do this in the dark so as not to disturb my child. It is virtually impossible to know if it is on or not…..you literally have to wait for the unit to warm up the water enough to start the steam feature….which can take several minutes. I prefer to just use one that you turn on, and know it is on. So in my opinion even though this unit does work, the annoying qualities of it make it not worth it…..

I have very hard water and even using vinegar in the water still it caked up. I finally just pitched it in the trash.

Tank arrived cracked. I was fortunate to have placed several chunks of newspaper under the unit, so when it leaked, there was no damage.

For an inexpensive product, it was not worth it to me to hassle with returning it to find out if the next one would work.
