I bought this in January and now in November, the fan motor has just burned out. The burnt bit is visible and it has that awful electronic smell. The fact that I don't use it daily, does not speak well on the reliability front. I would expect more from a company with a big reputation like Vornado.

I live in a very dry climate and have struggled with sinus infection/inflammation for over a year. I got one of these several days ago and installed it in our bedroom and got almost immediate relief. I was so delighted with the result that yesterday I went out and bought another one for my home office. The Vornado does a great job of humidifying a good-sized room quickly on the HIGH fan setting and runs quietly on the LOW setting. The humidistat is quite accurate (I check it against a hygrometer) and maintains relative humidity within 4-5% of the setting. Since it doesn't emit visible water vapor there's no worry about it dampening furniture or the carpet. The only drawback is that it's not a very attractive addition to one's home decor.
If anyone else out there lives in a dry climate and is experiencing chronic sinus infections/inflammation, I'd recommend trying one (or more) of these before spending thousands of dollars on doctors and medications.

At first I loved this humidifier. Simple design, easy to refill the tank, easy to replace the filters, quiet efficient operation, simple choices on the electronic pad. Then, one night the fan suddenly began to rattle loud enough that my husband and I couldn't sleep. No matter what I tried, the rattle continued, like the fan had become unbalanced or something. And because it's encased in the lid, there's no way to even attempt to 'wiggle' it back into place. So, due to Amazon's FANTASTIC customer service, I'm sending it back and waiting for a replacement unit that will hopefully work fine for a long time to come. FIVE stars when it worked and ZERO stars now that it doesn't average out to the three stars I gave it.

Well, I must say I'm greatly displeased; even on day one this had trouble coming on and staying on. Half the buttons would only work for a five second interval.
On high this worked for about two days and even then not great. Not great means it would just kick off and over the five days it progressively got worse. I finally gave up. When it did work it was great but since it didn't well my search for a decent humidifier continues.
FYI in you compare it to the crane penguin it's better if it had worked. Because this unit is evaporative the white dust isn't a issue.

After having used other humidifier brands/types in the past, I decided to replace it due to electricity and cleaning (scrubbing) of the heating element.
This Vornado brand humidifier has been doing a great job of adding humidity into the air since my home has forced air heat. Ultrasonics did not raise the humidity that much, but this Vornado does and it maintains the humidity level throughout the day for my entire upstairs floor (about 900 sq feet). I checked it with a hydrometer to see if it was working. It works great and has a built in humidistat so when I come home I do not have to worry about getting shocked or my windows being fogged like when I had a warm steam. It seems fairly easy to clean, after about three-five weeks I just lift the fan hood up and pull out the wicks, dump em and replace them with new ones. I'd probably clean the base too, wipe clean or maybe run through dishwasher. In addition I use a protec antibacterial ball that you throw in the water tank to limit the possibility of bacteria growing. I would advise not buy any type of humidifier unless you can maintain it. Its like a car, you gotta change the oil and filter.
Bottom Line: Reliable, reasonably priced (shop around) Easy to use, very quiet, circulates/freshens air, fairly easy to clean/maintain, looks unobtrusive to the room, durable quality, 5 year warranty. The only other one I'd recommend if you don't want an evaporator type is the Honeywell HWM 450 warm mist.
