Title: LOUD noise when starting up
Review: I can't tell you if this actually adds to the humidity. It does put out a little steam-like cloud of moisture but more importantly it puts out a pretty loud grinding noise when we first turn it on. Sounds like the fan isn't seated well in there and is wobbling against the casing or something. The noise usually stops after 5 minutes or so, but it shouldn't be there at all. Agreed? Also, make sure you click on "See All My Reviews" for people who leave glowingly positive reviews on here. If that's the only review they've ever left on Amazon, they're probably shills for the company making the thing.
