I bought this humidifier about 2 months ago, to run while I sleep. My apartment is very dry and I got tired of waking up with a sore throat. On the plus side, this humidifier works well for the price. I use it in a 14X12 foot room and it does a good job of keeping it humid.

On the negative side, the tank is NOT 2 gallons. If I run it overnight I have to leave it on Low or else it will run out of water. Worst of all, after about 2 weeks use it started getting noisy. I can't even use it anymore while I sleep because it keeps me awake. Now I just run it during the day and turn it off at night. If you only have 20 dollars to spare, this is probably the best you can do. If you have 40 dollars, buy something better.

Whenever I get a cold I develop a cough that lasts for weeks. I take prescription cough medicine, but I also had a cool mist humidifier in my bedroom to help ease my symptoms. I would run it day and night, but I didn't notice any change in the room or any improvement in my cough. This time when I started with a cold and coughing, I bought the Robitussin Warm Moisture Humidifier. I noticed a big difference right away. The warm steam helped ease my breathing and my cough stopped after a few days. It supposedly has a two gallon capacity, but it's actually a little over 1 gallon. However, that allows me to run the humidifier all night long. I do have to refill it in the morning before I go to work and again late in the evening. It does have to be cleaned once a week, but it's very easy to do so. Using white vinegar, as the instructions suggest, works very well. For anyone looking for a reasonably priced humidifier that works well in a small to mid-size room, I can definitely recommend this product.

This had the most consistant good reviews, so I thought I'd give it a shot! And I 'm glad I did. I have severely dry skin and often breathing problems. This humidifier helps both. If you are choosing to buy a humidifer, I would definetly reccomend this one. Like any humidifier, you must keep it cleaned out otherwise bacteria and just plain 'really gross' stuff will build up.

Another perk to the humidifier is that it is so quiet you won't even know that it's on. And it doesn't splatter all over!!!
