I originally liked this humidifier because of its compact size but I guess there's a drawback to being small. You can only fill one gallon, not TWO, and if you put it on the high setting, it won't even last through the night! On the low setting, it probably will last through the night. That kinda sucks because you sometimes need a little more moisture and who wants to wake up just to fill water in a humidifier?
I haven't had any problems with maintenance and I've had it for two seasons now. I might put this in my daughter's room and keep it on the low setting, and buy a larger one for my room.

This works well in small rooms, rather than large rooms. It is quiet except for the bubbling that occurs when the unit draws in some water. A full container of water lasts the whole nigh on the high setting, and about two nights on the low setting.

The first night I woke up to burnt smell and this unit was hot. Although I had filled it fully, the water was all gone. Later I read the manual and I could not find any mention of auto-shut off !! It does not have it.
The material used is plastic, not the hard polycarbonate that can withstand higher temps. So now, (probably due to the high temp incident), my unit has the shell 'caved in' at 2 locations. It is still working though (been a week now).
The moisture pumping capacity is also low. Of course, as others pointed out the water capacity is also low.
I am already shopping for a replacement.
11/2008 Update: I stand corrected. This one does have auto-shut off. I have used for more than 1 month and it has not run hot again even though the water runs out. I still rate it low (2 stars) as water capacity is small.

Have only used this for one week, but so far, I'm happy. Finally - a flat reservoir that doesn't have to be held while being refilled! I appreciate the simple design, and it's virtually silent except for the occasional bubble. True, the description is misleading, since the reservoir holds closer to one (1) gallon, but one tank gets me through the evening, so it isn't a problem - especially if using the lower setting. There's no humidity thermostat, so it's either on or off; again, not a problem, just a comment.
Two winters ago, I spent $40+ on a fancier model and returned it when it stopped working after 2 months. Last winter, I spent $65 on an even fancier model with a remote; I returned it because the performance was terrible. I was thrilled to pay under $20 for this model, and it's performance has been great this past week. I think it will be fine with proper maintenance; if not, there's a 5 year warranty.

Haven't used yet, as the weather has been too warm..But others liked it.One person suggested seting on high before going to bed, then on low throughout night..and the water will last..Also, a touch of ammonia in water to prevent molding.Will write again when I do use!
