I’ve never used a humidifier before so nothing to compare it to but it seems to be getting the job done. I did the same as a lot of other people and took the tank off to fill it for first use and it leaked. Ever since that first day I filled it from the top and had no leaking issues. Only dislike is that it could’ve been cheaper

Does not leak! I think the reviewer below is spot on. If you remove the water tank to fill and pop it back in, the base can flood and can cause leaks. I keep a small water pitcher in the bathroom and fill it from the TOP every day. I use the high setting at bedtime and the tank needs to be refilled nightly. There is some weight to this small humidifier and well built. No filters, no gross clean outs. The essential oil tray is a nice touch! I have a larger Holmes humidifier for 13 years running and works perfect to this day.

This is the perfect size humidifier for my bedroom. It's on my night table and I feel so much better already. It holds enough water for two nights...I don't use it during the day...and is very easy to fill.

I have this humidifier for years. The first time I bought. I took the container to fill with water and as soon as I put in the base strated leaking. I thought it was defective, then I realize that you do not need to take the entire container to fill it up. You need to open the lid and pour the water from there. For all the people saying it leaks. I think you are removing the entire water container. Do not remove it, just open the lid and put water. It works perfect.

so great we bought 2. take off lid and pour in more water, what a concept

Love this humidifier. I do not experience any leaking with mine. It is a bit bigger than I expected, but it blends well with decor. The only thing is with the amount of water it holds, it does not last all night. I’d say it gives about 4-5 hours of steam. But overall very simple and great use!

I don’t know who’s soul, holmes, sold to the Beelzebub himself to make a humidifier this powerful, but okay… Now I don’t know how much lead is in the paint chips these other reviewers are eating but it’s common sense to me, if your furniture is made of what is basically glossy paper glued to pressed cardboard and wood chips don’t put this on that. Get you something solid like plastic or wood with a good sealant and then put a little hand towel underneath. This humidifier is powerful. The most effective I’ve seen in my life thus far and I’ve owned many many many humidifiers. Look at pics I posted at how I have mine set up. Also there is no hole on the bottom of the humidifier. This is the easiest thing to set up, use, refill, clean, and maintain. No mold or mineral build up. Small reservoir and yet mighty! As you can see from the photos there’s a lot of moisture and condensation that will build up around the machine. Plan accordingly. Don’t put sensitive electronics or rare and ancient artifacts made of papyrus around it!

I’ve bought 3, one for each bedroom, and I really like it! I’ve had no issues with it leaking other than one instance of user error on my part.

It puts out a lot of steam.

I absolutely love this product. My doctor recommended I get a humidifier for my sinuses and this one is perfect. It’s not ugly, it’s small enough to fit nicely on a night stand or dresser, and I love that I can add essential oil. My only complaint is that I wish I could find the pads for essential oils separately.
