Comment:
I've run this unit almost constantly since I got it just over a month ago, and am happy with it. I really like that it is so quiet, since I had to turn up the volume on TV/radio/CD player a lot with my last humidifier. I also like the fact that this unit produces no white residue. It does the job very well. The only thing I'd wish is that the reservoir was bigger.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Returned it. The knob would sometimes turn off, sometimes not. Even at the lowest output, it spewed water onto my wood floor. I truly hope Consumer Reports tests products more thoroughly than this.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
