Title: Made Us Sick!!
Review: There are too many nooks and crannies for pathogens like mold, fungus or bacteria. It is near impossible to get this thing well-cleaned. You cannot get your hand or a scrub brush into the basin to thoroughly remove residue or film. I noticed that after a few months of use, the humidifier actually made my family and me very sick. We had flu-like symptoms and I was short of breath. It turns out the the cool mist humdifier was making us sick by dispersing a commonly found bacteria into the air (Serratia marcescens). We could not remove the pink film completely from the humidifier so we threw it out. Actually, we had TWO - an elephant and a frog. We didn't have to worry about bacteria in the frog because it croaked within weeks of using it!! Junk. If you are susceptible to lung irritants, consider an evaporative humidifier.
