Unbelievably noisy! No way to sleep with this truck rattling away all night. Leaves a white film all over everything. Worse product I ever purchased. Can't believe anyone would recommend this.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We used this in my son's room, and it did a decent job of raising the humidity level. However, it was extremely hard to clean. It would leave hard water deposits where ever the vapor touched, and the unit itself would get very dirty. Had to throw it away.

Got a while back based on CR review. Maybe we got a lemon but unbelievable noise. That's why I am here looking for another.
