"This humidifier works great to provide moisture to our bedroom."
"Excellent!"
"I purchased THREE ultrasonic cool must humidifiers last week (one for each bedroom in our house) and after using them for several nights, I absolutely LOVE them!! Update--I have now been using these humidifiers for almost one month, every night. My eyes are not dry when I run these every night, but when I travelled to D.C. recently and stayed in a hotel (and didn't have my humidifier) I got a nose bleed in the middle of the night and woke up with bone-dry mouth and eyes."
"We originally got the humidifier because my partner was getting bloody noses due to the dry atmosphere where we live, her bloody noses are completely gone now and I sleep better than I have in a very long time."
"I bought this for my daughter."
"You can't clean the bottom of the tank and pink slimy mildew builds up."
"But a year later it leaked out the exhaust holes in the side, soaked my wood end table and warped the finish..."

The forced hot air that heats our home causes dry itchy skin, and furthermore it gives me headaches and it contributes to my husband occasional nosebleeds. In addition, since we were replacing the humidifier in the bedroom, I needed a silent one and without any lights that would disturb my sleep. Sweep a finger right over the sensor touch ‘power’ button on the front of the unit, and a small blue half circle and bar will light that looks similar to this symbol (‘ and this turns the power on to the lowest setting (indicated by a small yellow LED pinpoint light). This humidifier holds up to 5 liters of water, which is the equivalent of 1 gallon and 1 extra quart in American measurements. Since I need the humidity on a 24-hour basis, I now leave it at low, to maintain, and although it lasts longer than a day, I refill the water tank around the same time every evening. I have not experienced any condensation, therefore the area, the furniture, and all around the location of this humidifier remains completely dry. However, my favorite reason is that it is silent, and there are NO lights to glow or flash that would disturb my sleep at night."
"After accepting my climate altering limitations I bought a vaporizer that quit working the first time I turned it on followed by two humidifiers I was just as disappointed with.

"Assembly took seconds and required no tools or even peeks at the owner's manual, except to make sure I had installed the included filter with the proper side up. Speaking of the owner's manual, it's clearly been translated into English from what I'd guess was originally Mandarin, but was still easy to understand. The stainless-colored plastic trim pieces are a nice touch, and give this humidifier a modern, minimalist, upscale vibe. I pressed the POWER button again to set the unit to "HIGH" and the amount of vapor practically doubled. So it ran for about 19 hours on a single tank before automatically shutting itself off and turning on the "droplet with a line through it" light to indicate it was out of water."

"If I am able to find contact info for the company and can get a replacement, I will happily update this review to 5 stars. I was very happy to see that not only do they pay attention and read their customers reviews, but also that when they see a problem they address it. After the first one stopped working I bought a different one because I absolutely loved diffusing essential oils. The other one I bought is nicer appearance wise (it is wood and glass and just looks better in my opinion) but it is much louder than this one. My daughter has been keeping this one in her bedroom at night and I LOVE that I can turn on the lights without running the diffuser. If she's sick or having problems sleeping I can diffuse essential oils, but most nights it's used as a nightlight. Before I bought this diffuser, I tried putting essential oils in our humidifier when someone was sick. I definitely don't recommend doing that unless your humidifier specifically states essential oils are safe to use with it."
"I go through it all in my video, as well as demonstrating use (so you will know how to work it without relying on the somewhat simplistic instructions), but to highlight: 1) MASSIVE Water Well - 500ml is upwards 5x the size of the typical ultrasonic diffuser. Also clearly marks the drain side, avoiding getting water into the Air Intake on the opposite side. 10) There is probably some gurgling when the water level gets particularly low (I assume this judging from the strength of the piezo-electric that needs to be had in order to shift the volume of water), but anywhere from 300 to 500ml, zero sound or even low level mist hissing. 11) And a final personal note from me, you do want to regularly clean any ultrasonic diffuser - considering the sizing capacity of this, I'd say every time you fill it, first run warm water into it, drain, then dry clean with a paper towel, removing any oil build-up/residue. If more in depth cleaning is desired, like the piezo-electric itself, warm water and some citric acid, letting it steep for 20 minutes, drain and once again dry clean. :). -- I received this as a complimentary oil diffuser with the aim of hopefully elucidating features and drawbacks that may help you ultimately decide what fits your needs and budget best."

"The nightlight is perfect; it's a calming blue that provides enough light to check on my son at night and change his diaper without being too bright and obnoxious."
"This humidifier would be perfect if it would give the option to release more mist like the Crane White Drop Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier. I can do without the built in night light (you have the option to turn it off) and when you turn it on/off, the shrill beep can get a little annoying."
"You can't clean the bottom of the tank and pink slimy mildew builds up."
"However, I'd like to start by saying, boy, this little thing looks spiffy with the blue light on. If you are someone who likes a dark room, even if you don't use the night light function, the other reviews that mentioned the blue light being bright were absolutely correct. Not ideal for adjusting settings if your partner is sleeping in the same room / is a light sleeper."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I am very pleased with my SoClean 2 CPAP Cleaner/Sanitizer. The SoClean does a great job at sanitizing my CPAP tank, hose and mask/cushion/headgear, but it does NOT clean off the perspiration and skin oils that accumulate on the cushion/mask/headgear. To see what I've learned about using the SoClean2 with my CPAP equipment please read on... WHAT IS THIS SOCLEAN 2 THING? If don't know what the SoClean 2 does, here it is: It's an ozone generator and circulator. The SoClean keeps the Ozone in a closed loop and when the treatment is over uses a filter to convert ozone back to regular oxygen over a couple of hours. The SoClean 2 works by feeding ozone through an adapter that goes between your CPAP machine and hose. If you have a humidifier tank there is a hose that snakes into the tank to bubble ozone through the water (keeping it bacteria free) and then it passes through the hose and back out the mask which is inside the SoClean where the hose enters via a rubber sealed opening. A NOTE ON OZONE: According to the SoClean web site "The ozone concentration is up to 25PPM (parts per million)" when cleaning That's inside the SoClean and is circulated through the CPAP equipment. When the cleaning cycle is finished the SoClean takes 2 hours to for the filter to reduce and neutralize the Ozone to safe levels. The SoClean does NOT really "CLEAN" your equipment. The included instruction booklet (downloadable from the SoClean web site) is quite good and covers how to setup the SoClean with your CPAP machine. A nice feature if the SoClean 2 is automatic cleaning. The SoClean clock lost track of time and before I noticed I thought my SoClean was broken! The automatic cleaning schedule wasn't lost with the power, but with the clock set about 8 hours early so my mask wasn't getting cleaned when I expected. LESSON: Remember to reset the SoClean clock after a power failure to assure to your automatic cleaning cycle happens as expected. One less thing to keep on my shelf... :-). While not directly a SoClean consumable it's worth noting my mask and hoses seem to last a lot longer saving me noticeable money ( I pay full price until my insurance deductible is met). I'm very pleased with the SoClean 2 and it has noticeably and significantly improved my CPAP experience since I got it."
"Second, I HATE cleaning the mask and hoses from the CPAP, it's impossible to get to all the little grooves and ridges in them and no matter how hard you try... after several weeks they start getting that "musty" smell. wake up, pull the mask off your face, dump it into the top of the unit and close the lid (there's a notch in the side for the hose to stay connected to the CPAP itself). I had one REALLY minor issue with the adapter and contacted support via e-mail and they were back to me within a few hours and had a solution immediately. I will add a couple of things though: The SoClean does leave an odor in the hose/mask, but it's one of Ozone, not mildew, a definite improvement and one that is immediately removed by just turning on the CPAP for a few seconds before I put it on my face and let the air blow through it."
"Please send me correct adapter and I will return the one I have."
"My mask turned a brown ting after a week of use, i swapped masks and again it turns the mask brown."
"So we contacted manufacturer and they said that since we ordered through Amazon, they will not help. Finally just started using different options on their prerecorded phone system just to get any person. Let alone what it might have done tou your person if that chemical smell ccontained anything."
"I noticed mold growing in my reservoir and called customer service at Soclean."
