Humidifier is fine but filters dry out & harden too quickly
I like the humidifier itself as it is small and the tank lifts off easily to be refilled. It does run out of water rather quickly, even on the lower of the 2 settings. I find myself refilling the tank every 24-36 hours. It isn't loud, per say, but I do find myself turning the volume on my music or TV up just a bit when it is on the higher setting. The filter system is not so great. The filter is to be saturated in water prior to putting it into the base, which I do. However, every time I remove the tank to refill it I can see the top of the filter is brown, dry and hard, even a day after putting a new one in. Gravity simply won't allow it to stay moist. I have to completely re-saturate the filter every time I refill the tank otherwise it becomes completely brown and dry within days. This may not seem like a big deal but I now have to get a bowl of water from the kitchen and it bring over to the humidifier in the living room (without spilling it), put the filter in the bowl of water and then transfer it back to the humidifer. I tried bringing the filter to the sink but it drips so I need the bowl anyway so....I used to just flip the filter over and use my finger to push the water release button on the stem coming out of the tank to drizzle water onto the filter but my lazier method proved ineffective and I ended up overflowing the base which resulted in water coming out of the vents in the front. Not great for hardwoods so it sits on a towel now. First world problems though seriously.
