Use Bacteriostat and the filter will last for the season
We have 2 of these humidifiers, and they work very well. We require the white noise for sleeping, so we love that it is loud. The tank lasts for two nights (about 24 hours running time. We add a capful of Holmes Bacteriostat to the water each time, and no mold grows on the filter. This product is basically peroxide, and the bottle lasts all winter for two humidifiers. My only complaint is that there is no way to clean off the fan blades, and after three years of use we need new machines. Still, I think they are a great value and they help eliminate stuffy noses at our house!
Regret selecting this humidifier
We have owned this unit for approximately 3-4 months and have had to change the filter four times now. At about $10 per filter, the cost of ownership is just not worth it. After about a month of use, the filters begin to smell musty or moldy, requiring us to change them (or fill the room with musty smelling moisture).
As humidifiers go, the unit is a bit loud, although as another reviewer said, the 'white noise' type of sound doesn't bother our sleep.
We're definitely searching for a new humidifier - this one is becoming to expensive to continue using.
Loud, but I like it
I actually like the fact that it is loud. I bought it for my kids' room. I like the white noise factor; it helps them both sleep.
I keep it upstairs and I can't hear it downstairs. Doesn't bother me at all. Easy to clean and fill.
