Sturdy, Clean, and Easy to use
The running time is a HUGE plus. The clear tank is an awesome feature for me; my old humidifier got moldy and we didn't know about it. That won't happen with this one, though! This isn't the most quiet humidifier you can find, but its also not the loudest. It's great for the price your paying. Tip: do not carry the water tank by the handle, you'll drip condensation if you do.

You pay for what you get
Bought this in the store for around $20 because it was on sale and filterless. Have had this product for a two weeks and have used it for a solid week due to respiratory sickness. The only family member that can tell a slight difference is the one who is sick. Again, that is a verrrry slight difference. All well family members do not notice a change at all. The machine is rather noisy & it does gurgle. When on the low setting, it does run for a longer time. However, when running on the high setting, it runs for nearly five hours. I have read the instruction booklet before using this product. I have noticed we have to jiggle the water container to fit in the way it should upon placing the container back onto the humidifier sometimes. The machine does power down after the water tank has emptied. We're not impressed, but minimally satisfied for the slight notice of it's ability. Again, you pay for what you get...

    High maintenance joke, humidifies when it works
    Two stars because this warm mist humidifier is 'filter-free' and while it worked, it did humidify my small room. However, in my opinion, it is too high maintenance while claiming the opposite... and auto-shuts down/scales the heating element too quickly. - The 'Instruction Leaflet' specifies Daily Maintenance which consists of lifting off the tank, removing the misting chamber (simple) and placing the base in your dishwasher top rack... washing daily. Also, you are to wipe the heating element (after an hour cool down), which "is lined with a coating that is designed to provide the easiest cleaning...". Hah. - I filled the water tank, placed it on the humidifier (for recommended two minutes +), plugged it in and turned on high. After a few minutes, you are treated to a slightly muffled sound of boiling water and a -very- warm merest wisp of mist (unless your room is cold perhaps). (The 'medicine tray' is merely a very small/shallow depression, perhaps a thimbleful, near back edge of the mist vent on top of humidifier.) - It brought my 225 sq ft bedroom humidity up fairly quickly, from low mid 40s to about 61%. I shut it off to avoid condensation on my window (mid February). This warm mist humidifies from the ceiling down... for example, using two humidity meters, 57% at 5ft, 50% at two ft... the humidifier base sitting at a little more than one foot. My bed is not very high, so the lower number matters. I also saw a 9% difference later. After humidity dropped a bit, after maybe an hour, I turned humidifier on low. It ran for a short time and then the 'reset light' came on and the humidifier shut off the heating element. The water tank was at least two thirds ful or morel. This shutdown is supposed to occur if... the water tank is empty, if scale builds up on the heating element, or if you do not Reset properly after a water tank refill. The humidifier would not run properly, even if I got the Reset light off... it came on again quickly. - Turned out that the heating element, after such light usage, already was covered with a white scaling. I disassembled the humidifier, topped off the water tank, took the misting chamber with heating element to the bathroom, and had to use the scrubbing side of a small double-sided scrubbing sponge to get scaling off. After reassembly, the humidifier began working when I turned it back on. We are on city water... perhaps this scaling was partly due to being the first use with manufacturing residues present, I don't know, but the daily maintenance and Reset procedure are more than I care to do daily... constant dishwasher use and scrubbing the heating element. - The Reset Procedure consists of refilling the water tank, doing a Daily Maintenance procedure, and waiting 15 minutes for the automatic shutoff to reset. If the Reset light remains on, you are to do this Reset Procedure again. - Guess I'd rather try the ultrasonic I had intended to buy, if it had been in stock. (Included photo shows "medicine tray".)

    Sunbeam Warm Mist Humidifier
    I live in New England where during cold winters and heating makes the house VERY dry. I bought 4 of these so far and am very pleased and the 0.9 gallon tank does a good job but expect to refill it every 7 hours on the high setting. Use one for each bedroom and 2 for the living room. Clean thoroughly once a month.

    Very Useful Humidifier
    I like this humidifier because of the fact that it has big opening to fill the water and carrying is easy due to cylindrical profile. This was my second purchase of same Humidifier as the first one died after 3 years of use. But there are a few design modification which could enhance this model, for example - 1) there is a heating plate at the base near the edge. If this is moved to center of base then chances of getting heat burns would be negligible when holding the base to move the humidifier across rooms. 2) Water residues forma thick scale. Cleaning out the residue is very difficult due to the internal design. You won't be able to remove 100% scales. Due to above-said design flaws I gave it 4/5.

    Junk
    When I received this humidifier, I filled it and plugged it in. It appeared to be working fine. It didn't even work all night. Used maybe an inch of water and hasn't worked again. Plan on boxing it up and returning it as soon as I have time.

    Only humidifier I will buy
    About 5 years ago I ran across a humidifier at a thrift store. It was made by Holmes. To this day it's still working. In those 5 years I've gone through 3 Vicks and 1 crane humidifiers. I started shopping around for Holmes humidifiers in hopes of finding one close the diamond in the ruff I found at the thrift store. I came across this one. Seems either sunbeam bought out Holmes or Holmes sunbeam. Either way this sunbeam is virtually it's twin. Couple of things I've noticed though, the Holmes "gurgles" or takes water from the tank once every hr or so. The sunbeam seems to gurgle more. I think this has to do with placement of the heating element. The dial says high low not 1 or 2. On high the water will need to be replaced about every 8 hrs on low it's more like 18 hours. Warm mist, cold mist I never could tell the difference in mists once it's out of the machine so I didn't care about the temperature of the mist .but it does have a steady stream of the mist. Cleaning wise. It's pretty simple to take care of. Although it recommends daily cleaning I usually do a weekly cleaning with white vinegar and an old kitchen scrubbie. Before and at the end of storage I put 2 cups vinegar and 2 cups water into the tank and set the entire machine on low out on my patio and let it run through it,to clean it out. Walmart should carry these in stores all the time but it seems I may be the unlucky one out as I had to online order mine because either everyone loves this unit or they don't order more at my area stores.

    Love it !
    I am ordering my 3rd one today. No leaks, very quiet, and we definitely sleep better at night using it. It has a 1 gallon tank, very easy to clean with a bottle brush. Would DEFINATELY recommend to anyone who uses them.

    l like it very much
    This is my second one. easy to use and clean. My first one is about 6 years old. The price is very fair and value for the product. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a dry problem at night. It adds moisture to the air and keeps me from getting very dry at night. I keep the humidity in my house at 50% during the winter so my nasal passages don't get so dry that would keep me up at night. the only thing I don't like is the screw cap which has to be removed to fill the water tank, its a pain to get it lined up to screw back on right I wish the company would fix that problem.
