Comment:
This humidifier works well in the kids room. There is a moisture control knob so the walls aren't getting wet. The only issue is every few days the top and the tank start to develop mildew and get slimy. Overall, I would recommend but you have to keep up with cleaning it so its not blowing mold spores around the room.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
