 Exactly what I was looking for |

| I live in a small studio apartment in which the heating is centrally controlled, so my apartment tends to get much too warm and very, very dry, especially at night, even with a window open. Once I received this humidifier, it was very easy to set up and worked perfectly. No problems with water leakage or anything- the tank cap locks in pretty tightly. It is extremely quiet- I run it mostly at night and it doesn't bother me at all, even when on it's highest setting. So far I have not had to refill the tank very often and it stays full throughout the night- throughout many nights actually! I sleep much more comfortably and the room is not dry anymore (no more dry skin, scratchy throat, etc. in the morning too). I highly recommend this humidifier and I am very happy with my purchase of it. |
My faithful Crofton

I've had the "Crofton" version of this same humidifier for almost 6 years. The brand changed to Sunpentown during the time. I bought it in east coast, used it nightly in winter every year. I had it shipped to west coast when I was relocated. I use it whenever I remember to year-around due to the dry weather. Recently I brought it from home to my office and put it right next to my desk to get daily moisture. It's been working faithfully all this time.
The best advantage when it's compared against others -- It's quiet! Even sitting right next to my ear, I don't notice its existence. It's very important when you leave it on while asleep or working. But you got to watch the water level. When it gets too low, beeping alarm can startle you. It's good to have the safety feature. So no complaints.
I used to clean the base every other day, now reduced to weekly. No accumulation of anything so far. Neat as new. :) |
Best Humidifier I've Ever Bought

This Sunpentown humidifier is the best one I've ever bought. After trying 3 different ones that used filters and forced air, none of which lasted more than a month, I decided to give the Sunpentown a try. What a difference! Unlike the forced-air models, this one has no filter to get moldy and smelly. It doesn't make any noise at all (well, almost), and puts out an amazing amount of water into the air. It rarely needs cleaning (about once a month), and when it is necessary to clean it, it takes all of 10 minutes. The large fill hole on the bottom of the tank worried me at first. It didn't look very sturdy, and the little rubber ring that seals it looked like it would give out in about a week. After 2 years I'm happy to say it's still going strong. No leaks or failures. The large opening makes refills quick and easy, and cleaning out the inside of the tank is simple, since you can get your hand inside without any trouble at all. Forced-air humidifiers require cleaning every time you fill it up, and then you have to let the filter dry before you can use it again. With this one, I just rinse out the tank when I fill it, and once a month I empty the base unit and wipe it down with glass cleaner. That's it. I just fill it back up and it's good for another 30 days of continuous use.
The humidifier puts out a steady stream of cold vapor, which will dissipate into the air if the unit is about 3 feet off the ground. I keep mine on a chair in our hallway. We don't have a forced-air heating system, so we rely on traffic (human and animal) in the hallway to spread the humidity around. I actually tend to swat at the vapor stream each time I walk by (I'm not sure why, It's just fun to do). If you have forced-air heating, it would be easy enough to simply put this over a vent. This isn't a whole-house unit, but with just 2 of them I can keep my 3 bedroom, 2 bath home at around 41% humidity on a dry winter day. The tank holds enough water to go more than 24 hours wide open without need for a refill.
Both of my Sunpentown units have worked without a hitch for 2 years now. If you want a low-maintenance, quiet and reliable humidifier, look no further. |
Excellent value

| I hardly ever review products, but this one is worth the time. I've owned several humidifers over the years, and they do not compare to this one. It is quiet, there is no filter to get soaked and moldy, and the full stream of moist air coming out of the unit proves it is working. I highly recommend it. |
