Pricey and ineffective This humidifier does the job...poorly. I live in Maine and the air gets terribly dry because of winter and heat from the furnace. If I put this in the auto setting, the unit turns on and off every few seconds! The filters for this model are really hard to find, so unless you have time to drive around town or you like to buy for stuff online, it is not worth it. And did I mention that this humidifier makes my house stink? It did it from day ONE -at first I thought it was because it was new-. One week later it would stink even more because of mold in the filter!!! This junk is not made for heavy duty, like the manufacturer suggests. Save some nomey and buy either a cheaper humidifier or invest in one that is better quality. Same as Holmes -- crappy humidifier As another reviewer mentioned, you cannot use the "auto" settings on this humidifier, because it perpetually cycles on and off (set it on 45, and it goes on at 44, off three seconds later at 45, on two seconds later at 44, etc.). I also don't think it humidifies my house. And aside from all of that, the filter is only good for a month or so (if you have dogs or cats, even less). I'd say save the money from buying these over and over (I have, until this year, bought one every other year) and just get a really good warm-mist or cool-mist humidifier. I'm not convinced these fan-based things even work, and they are incredibly loud in addition to all of that. Aggravating This humidifier works well but cycles on and off, on and off EVERY 6 SECONDS!!!! If you set it to 50% humidity, it turns on at 49% and off at 51% just a few seconds later, and then starts over. I can't sleep at all with it. It is useless unless you want to run it continuously, in which case buy a cheaper humidifier!
