DO NOT BUY IT. HAS A MIND OF IT OWN.:
Needed a humidifier and did not do research thinking that nothing can go wrong with a simple product. I was wrong. -No controls, only switch is an on and off switch. -Water tank cap is sharp and difficult to open due to an overkill gasket. -Also the water tank could air bounds, on many occasion in the middle of the night I notice the unit is not working,so I pick up the tank and reinsert to allow water to flow back in the unit. -The transducer is very sensitive if it is too much water it will shut off and not work. On many occasion I had to empty some extra water from the unit into a bucket, then wait 10 minute for the unit to work. -The manual is very vague, and probably on purpose due to poor quality and design. If I did not throw away the box I would have returned it. Now I can't wait for it to breakdown, so I could buy a different unit from another company.

Be sure to have your wet vac handy.:
On second use the resevoir tank leaked all over our carpet and the dresser, soaking all our clothes. On inspection it turned out the cheap plastic tank body has stress cracks all through the threads that the cap attaches to. This thing is definetly not made to last. The fan is very noisy, and the top forms considerable condensation that drips all over and falls on whatever it is standing on. Pros: Cool blue LED lights. Cons: Cheaply made, noisy, hard to fill resevoir due to poor design.

Quiet:
This model is much quieter than most humidifiers. The compact design lets it blend in with your furnishings. Sometimes the on/off button sticks, but will reset if you tap it lightly once or twice.

Best Humidifier this 50yr old has owned:
After reading the other reviews, I had to post. I have had two of these humidifiers for over two yrs with NO problems. It is true it is only on/off -I find that highly convenient. Fill once every 24 hrs, it is silent, have owned about 35+ hmidiefiers in my day, this is the best. It also has Microban technology. MISINFORMATION-this is not a HOLMES product-it is BIONAIRE which is Jarden not Holmes!

Experienced with Bionaire:
I bought this humidifier based on my previous experience with the company (my old Bionaire humidifier was becoming unreliable after almost 25 years of use - that's NOT a typo!) and my intense moisture needs in dry, dry Utah. The capacity means it can run for almost two days on one filling. It's really quiet so I can put it next to my bed. It does a great job of regulating itself; I came back after vacation and it powered through one filling in under a day to bring the humidity back up and then settled into its usual pace of two days per filling. The only drawback is the two LED lights are unnecessary and awefully bright for a product that tends to go in people's bedrooms. I've gotten used to it but would like to be able to turn them off.
