Item is probably great, but returned it for refund without using it, because I must use with standard accessory Crane brand demineralization filter insert. This standard filter is inserted easily into the “animal-shaped” (penguin, frog, etc) Crane humidifiers. However, this filter does not fit at all into this “tear-drop”-shaped Crane humidifier. I called up Crane customer service and rep said, yes, correct, it will not accept the filter. He said there is no other Crane filter made to fit this “tear-drop”-shaped humidifier. I must use a filter with my water quality. Thus, however good the humidifier undoubtedly is, it’s moot because I had to return it for refund simply because there’s no water filter for it.

Right as you read the description of the unit you think “Wow, 2. 3 gallons!” Not so fast. It’s a “2. 3 gallons output per 24 hours” thing. As in – it can pump out 2. 3 gallons in a certain amount of time. The actual capacity is a whooping 0. 9 gallons.
Now, that would probably be enough for most people, but I do not like to be “tricked”.
As far as the operation of the unit – I really like it. It is indeed very quiet and it does indeed output a good amount of mist. I am not evaluating a long term use because I just got it.
One star due to misleading advertisement.
More later (on the longevity or lack thereof)

I used this humidifier one time- it flooded the dresser it was sitting on within seconds. I unplugged it, cleaned up the mess and checked the unit over, as per the direction of the manual, and made sure I had securely tightened the gasket where you fill it from. It was tight and the seal was good. I then put the partially filled tank back on the base, and as soon as I turned it on, water was streaming from the unit from all sides. I guess there was a problem with the pressure sensitive part that fills the base to make the steam. I might have gotten a bad unit, but for nearly fifty dollars, that is a ridiculously stupid problem to have. Of course Amazon is picking it up and taking it back, but for now, I have a sick baby with no humidifier. Very inconvenient.
