Vapor Therapy for Healthful Living
Water is one nutrient that all forms of life must have to survive. All functions of your body require sufficient moisture to work properly. When your body does not have sufficient moisture, it functions poorly. Dry, arid climatic conditions are usually the culprit. Colds and flu can further cause dehydration.
Colds and flu begin making their seasonal rounds during fall and winter. Part of the reason for increased respiratory illnesses during this time is because the humidity level in the air reaches its yearly lows. Central heating units in homes and offices further remove moisture from the air. The relative humidity may drop to as low as 10%-drier than the air in the Sahara Desert. Most people experience problems when the relative humidity drops below 25%. A comfortable humidity level should not be higher than 50%
The steam vaporizer helps combat this excessive dryness, providing these benefits:
Keeps your respiratory system moist, allowing it to fight off bacteria, viruses and pollutants
Relieves cold, flu and hay fever symptoms
Relieves dry, irritated and itching skin and eyes
Relieves coughs and dry, scratchy throat
Helps you breathe better and sleep more comfortably
Stops dryout damage to plants, paintings and furniture
Saves you money on your heating bills, since proper humidity lets you feel more comfortable at lower temperatures
Kaz invented the electric vaporizer in 1924 and today is the world's leading manufacturer of vaporizers, humidifiers and other healthcare appliances

So far so good! I bought this for my 18 month old son who gets really bad coughs with his colds...and I really didn't want a high-maintenance humidifier (filters, cleaning, etc). All you do is add water and turn it on - it comes with a "Protec" water ball thingy that kills any kind of bacteria in the water, so you don't have to really "clean" it for a whole month! I just rinse it out and add more water each day. Very easy to use. It is a bit loud, but I have found that a lot of models are loud - this is just the easiest to use. Great that it has a humidistat too - so when it gets to your desired level of humidity it stops automatically, and then re-starts when needed.

Okay, not great
The humidifer is noisy, and you have to adjust the mist periodically--it is not automatic.

We've owned this model for 3 years and use it mostly in our bedroom. It has worked very well and we like it because it does not need a filter. We clean it thoroughly at the end of each winter season. It is not hard to clean contrary to what others have said. (The bottom comes loose from the 2 top sections and everything is very accessible to clean.) It is a bit noisy at high speed, but we don't find it objectionable. The lights on the controls are useful if you want to adjust settings in the dark. We would recommend it. We think it has helped us to keep the cold season under control.

the operating lights were far too bright for me. High setting is too loud and glugging noise it made through the night woke me a lot I liked sticking my face right above the vent, it felt great and could see that it would be helpful but bought it for my college student and she would be too frustrated with the cleaning and up keep and the lights too. We are not all 5 years old and need an additional night light that want to use these kind of product. I'm returning it today, bummer.

Impossible to clean! The humidifier does not come apart and there are cavities in the machine where mold forms but cannot be cleaned. Find another model. I cannot believe this was put on the market.

Bought the product to use in my office during the dry winter months. Would not buy it for my home, as it is VERY noisy (unless you need "white noise").

Tank is easy to fill. Really low maintenance. I've never had a problem with any odors, but i live in a very dry climate (not too many mildew problems). I usually just crank up the settings all the way so I don't care if it's automatic or not, but I do like having the option of lower settings. I personally LOVE the white noise it makes... it covers up the night sounds of a VERY noisy suburban neighborhood (barking dogs, cats in heat, police helicopters circling, constant sirens from a nearby hospital, kids hotrodding, you get the idea). Had to buy it in a hurry at the local drugstore during an illness, and paid 15 bucks more for it. Wish I could have bought it here on sale!

No instructions - so, so loud. I use it in my bedroom - the cheap one that I bought last year was much more quiet. I do like the fact that it has no filter to clean. Don't waste your money on this product. Its too loud :(
