A little pricey but nice for a small room:
I bought this unit a replacement for my Bionaire CM1 which fried after several years of use. This machine seems a little better constructed than that one, although the price has also increased considerably. I paid about $30 for the older unit.
Pros:
-No filter to clean/replace
-Quiet operation
-Sharp design
-Easily disassembles for cleaning
Cons:
-Pricier than the earlier model
-Tank is not very large (lasts about 10 hours)
quiet but ineffective:
Puts out a minimum amount of humidity. The water reservoir can only hold about half a gallon and slowly emits it over the course of 7-8 hours. You can barely even see the stream of water vapor. However, it is super quiet, save the occasional gurgle. The blue light is also super annoying and you can't turn it off at night. Would only work for an exceptionally small room.
