Title: Carefree? Try High Maintenance!
Product review: Despite the expense of this item, I bought it because of the brand name I trust and the claims of low maintenance. Boy was I disappointed!After one day of use, the water in the base was yellow with what appeared to be algae floating with it. I have had to empty out and scrub this unit every day to keep it clean (note that I use only filtered water to begin with!). Plus its awkward design makes it more difficult to clean than the cheaper models!Also, even on low it is noisier than I expected with what I consider a "harsh" noise, and it doesn't humidify as big of an area as it claims (although it is adequate for a medium size bedroom).Add to this poor customer service and you have one truly disappointing experience.
