It doesn't require a filter and it didn't require any "cleaning" until the end of the "season". I love the little brush it comes with to clean the metal plate and that was all I had to do after 3 months of use. I just pulled it out after storing it from the summer and it was all set to go!
I will say that how much water is used per night depends on how arid and dry it is that day. For instance, last week we had a few rainy days (we're in the Midwest)- it only emptied halfway at night so I didn't need to fill it for the following night. But, I know (from using it last year) that as we get further into the winter season, it will almost fully empty every evening. (About 8-9 hours of constant running.) But it weighs practically nothing and you can fill it up in your sink (instead of bending over a bathtub while it gets heavier and heavier like the large models). I sleep with it on the nightstand next to my side of the bed and never have any trouble at night throughout the winter with dry nasal passages, or dry throat or drying skin. I don't think it would work as much for an entire room, but it keeps the moisture right where you need it - next to you while you sleep. If you want a humidifier that is designed to put moisture into an entire room, you should buy a larger model humidifier. This is designed for just one person really. I do plan to buy two more of these when it's all said and done - one for my daughter's room and one for my desk at work. I do believe it is a tad expensive, so I will need to buy them at separate times, but I like it that much. (Really, it shouldn't cost more than $20 - $30 MAX!)
One last thing - I absolutely loathe humidifiers that you have to change filters or have to clean out the scaling that seems to happen. I'd much rather throw those away than reuse them the following season because no matter what you do - they will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER come 100% clean! The fact that I didn't have to do BARELY ANYTHING to this little gem (other than rinsing it out and using the little brush once in awhile) was the icing on the cake the for me.

This little unit worked well in our 400 sq ft apartment for the first year. When I recently broke it out for the upcoming fall/winter months, the unit stopped working . It turned on but did not emit any moisture into the air.

We purchased one of these for our daughter's room; she loves the light and the mist. She gets nosebleeds and this has helped her tremendously. It is quiet; the only time there is any noise is if there is water under the water reservoir. Then you have to empty it out, but since it is so small, it is not a pain at all. We just bought a second for the living room. We live in Colorado so it is very dry, it will run for about 8 hours before we have to refill the reservoir but you just pick it up from the top where it disconnects from the unit fill it at the sink and put it back, super easy!! We have none of the difficulties other people mention but I will update if we do! It also came with a 3-year warranty so I thought that was a good safety net iin case something breaks. In addition, there are no filters to buy so in the end it would seem this one costs a little more up front but saves a ton by not having to buy the filters etc.

The output on this unit is virtually non-existent. It might humidify a room if you live in a very small closet. The unit stopped working after about 4 months of regular use. I had to knock it on the table just to get it to start again.

Don't be fool by its high price and ultrasonic marketing scam. This humidifier DOES NOT increase the humidity level. I boughT two of them and a hydrometer to measure the humidity level. I ran them simultaneously for hours and hours and saw no effect. After 4 months of usage, one of them was burned out. I ended up throwing both of them away. Also, unlike how the product was marketed, it does create mold. DON'T BE FOOL!
