I have had this humidifier for about 6 months now and I love it. The mist is not to hot to burn my little one which is important. It does an excellent job of putting moisture in the air. It is also very easy to clean.Customer Review: Good Buy

Customer Review: Wonderful for dry homes! 3.5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
3.5 stars
I bought this humidifier because the air in my home was so dry I was getting nosebleeds. Within a few days I felt so much better (even skin and lips aren't as dry/chapped).
PROS:
- Has a high setting and a low setting
- Quiet compared to other humidifiers
- Automatically shuts off when the tank is empty, and a "Reset" light appears to let you know to fill it.
- Is relatively small/compact. I move it from room to room, and it's not too heavy even when full.
CONS:
- Requires cleaning more than once a week, I wash the tank every other day just to be on the safe side.
- Minerals do build up in the "heating chamber" and the inside of the large part of the "removable tray" rather quickly, I would suggest using distilled or purified water. Or just make sure you clean it regularly (one or 2 times a week for the Removable tray and heating chamber), I use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove mineral build-up.
- "Medicine Cup" is on the small side. I don't use this feature, but others might find it inadequate.
***I don't mind cleaning, it only takes about 10 minutes when you clean all of the parts, even when I had to scrub off the mineral buildup.
Customer Review: How to fix issues with the constant reset.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this humidifier for two weeks (mostly run on low) and loved it, yesterday it switched to an orange light (Reset) and would not come out of that mode.
I scrubbed every bit of calcium off of the element (you have got to love California water) and that did not help. I started looking at the rest of the device and noticed the tank cap has a spring loaded valve, on this valve is a small knob at the end presumably to not allow the rubber bushing to fall off.
I actually believe that is where the rubber bushing is supposed to rest, I grabbed the edge of the bushing and pulled it down until it snapped into place on the end of the valve stem and miraculously my humidifier is working like a charm now.
I hope this helps other owners of this humidifier because it works well, is quiet and is quite simple to operate. The only negative is the reliability of the spring loaded valve in the tank cap.
