I never understood reviews about humidifiers leaking until now. I always thought it was bad luck or improper use. But I’ve used a few different brands at this point and yes this one is terrible. I’m so confused why there is a hole in the bottom of the base that leads directly to the water tank. I haven’t seen that design in the other humidifiers I’ve owned. I’m going to return it and get a different brand. Sad waste of materials :(

I thought the puddle on the counter was just from the mist until I watched the humidifier make a gulping noise and drop a huge puddle from the base onto my counter. I filled it with cool water, not even to the fill line. I've messed around with it and I'm not sure what the issue is. And fun fact: here is says the brand is Holmes, but the one I brought home is Bionaire. Buyer beware.

Broke after a few months. It leaked a little bit every now and again, but by the end it was a waterfall. Don’t recommend it.

Immediately started leaking when I turned it on despite following the setup instructions. Also, it is not “Holmes” brand, it is “Bionaire”. Wrecked my dresser and left a water spot on the floor. Terrible design with a hole in the base.

Definitely wish we would have checked reviews before buying in-store. This leaks all over. Spend a little more to get something with better design.

Leaked water all over upon first use. Terrible design with hole in bottom of base.

Very poor design—the seal in the water tank isn’t large enough to restrict the flow of water into the reservoir, so the reservoir overflows and leaks everywhere! Almost ruined a computer by not paying attention to the leaking. Definitely save your money for something better designed.

Leaks for no reason. On level ground. No movement. Filled under the max line. Just leaking out constantly with out even being turned on.

Doesn’t even run long enough for a full night. The light on the button is super bright and no way to turn it off or tape it without blocking on button. Not a good buy.

I wish I would have read the reviews prior to buying. Machine leaks from a hole in the bottom. I followed proper procedures for loading cool water into the machine and out comes the water through a hole.
