Title: very loud and unreliable
Product review: This humidifier is cheap, puts out a fair amount of moisture, and has a decent-sized water tank. Unfortunately, it is extremely noisy and poorly designed. The lowest programmable humidity setting is 30% but my unit underestimated the humidity by nearly 10% so I had no way to get it to stop before the humidity hit 40%, which was more than I wanted. The permawick gets grimy is short order and is essentially impossible to clean and the water in the basin gets foul quickly. The fan on my unit started to fail after about 3 months and I decided it was not worth bothering to get warranty support. I upgraded to an air washer that is quieter, easier to clean, more energy efficient, and better engineered--of course, it was also more expensive.
