PureGuardian H965AR Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier, 70 Hrs. Run Time, 1 Gal. Tank Capacity, 320 Sq. Ft. Coverage, Small Rooms, Filter Free, Silver Clean Treated Tank, Includes Essential Oil Tray

I have owned variations of this humidifier over the past 4 years, and the unit has not changed much over the years. The latest version has a chamber where you can add scents, which I do not use.The pros1 - Unit is very simple to use. You fill the tank with water, plop it on the base, plug it in, and turn it on. Nothing fancy and very straight-forward.2 - You can buy separately an antimicrobial cartridge insert which you drop into the water tank which is supposed to prevent the growth of mold and odor causing microbes keeping the tank cleaner longer.3 - You can buy a demineralization cartridge which replaces the tank lid which prevents white dust and prevents the release of minerals from your water.4 - The accessories as mentioned in #2 and #3 are not too expensive when compare to other humidifiers made by others.5 - The buttons are straight forward - you have three settings. And the night light is simple to operate.6 - The water tank holds enough water to last at least 3 nights when full and used for a small to medium sized room. (I recommend that you only fill the tank half way and rise after every night's use.)7 - Very compact in size given its reliability and capacity.The cons - I only have one complaint.1 - This can be easier to clean if the hole where you insert the water was larger. I would like to get a a sponge stick in there to clean the tank better, but you really cannot do this - The hole is maybe 1.5 inches in diameter?I prefer this humidifier over all other units which cost $100+ and require expensive accessories. This humidifier will last you at least several years if you take care of it, but given the price, you would not feel too bad just throwing this out after a year or two of use.

After moving to a coastal region my cats started to get dry, itchy skin. I wasn't sure if I should look into a dehumidifier for the southern area humidity or humidifier for the salt air. I am very pleased to find that this humidifier is the answer to our problem. I started to get frustrated with all the fancy options some of the other models have because I don't need or want aromas or oils or USB or LED I just want what this one has. It states to fill with water only. It has easy clean up & easy refill. It has 3 settings that I tried & I could tell it worked after less than 24 hours. I started out on medium & now use on low all the time. I don't have to fill it up as much when it is on low. I only had to fill it up daily when it was on med. now I only fill it up every couple of days. It has a night light that is optional. I don't know how noisy or bubbly these things usually are as this is my first humidifier but I can tell you this one isn't very noisy at all. It bubbles once after a refill & I sleep like a baby kitty every night. My cats do as well & I can tell they are just as pleased with the purchase. They are very comfortable now & I hope this helps any one with the same problem because if you try to find help online it will only tell you change their diet & that could be way more expensive than this purchase. They are all together in a very large bedroom or I would look into one for upstairs & one for downstairs. If you have cats or dogs with dry, itchy skin order this right meow!

First off, I can't imagine a better ultrasonic humidifier, honestly. I have zero complaints. Easy fill, easy clean, adjustable vapor amount, does not leak at all. I have run it almost constantly for a few months now and it is as good as the day I got it. I refill the tank about every 8 hours, depending on the vapor setting. Not a big deal because it is so easy to fill. YES, buy this unit, BUT....keep reading, there is a secret I'm going to let you in on.In regard to the mysterious white dust that some reviewers complain of, that is the PLAIN TAP WATER they are using, NOT the unit itself creating the dust. Tap water is almost always high in mineral content, such as calcium and lime, which is what that white dust is made of. When you vaporize the plain, unfiltered tap water, the water part humidifies the air but the minerals are then released out of the water vapor as dust particles. You MUST either use distilled or filtered water (or else buy the separate filters) for ANY ultrasonic humidifier EVER made by ANY company if your tap water is the least bit "hard" or you WILL always get white dust. Scientific fact, no way around it. This unit doesn't come with a filter, and the manufacturer says that you can use regular tap water in it. You can separately purchase a filter for it to avoid white dust and hard water scale buildup inside of the humidifier, if needs be. I use only distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water in mine, and by doing so I never get any dust outside of it nor hard water deposits inside of it. (Same with any appliance that I add water to, like an iron or coffeemaker). Now you know the secret!

I like this product and I've bought it a few times now. Because of the dampness of a humidifier, no humidifier is mold free. The pink mold that develops after use is the reason I replace mine every 2 yrs. It is quiet, compact and the night light feature is a nice option.
