The problem is really about as simple as it gets: you need moisture in the air of a room that has too little of it.

This product fixes the problem. It does so quietly, efficiently, and not unattractively.

The self-dry feature is extra handy. I buy a cartridge that I drop in the tank to purify things in there. These cartridges, widely available in pharmacies, last for a month.

This is a solid product that does what it claims.

I bought sunbeam Model 1118 on wallgreen store last week. It was on sale for 50% off. First I thought to buy humidifier with permawick filter so that I don't have to spend extra money for changing the filter. Since it was a great deal, I pull the trigger to buy this. I read some other brand doesn't work very well, left water stain on your room,dust, your floor will become wet, etc. After using this, I felt great. no wet on my carpet, pretty quiet fan, and I felt the air I breath more fresh than before. This machine have 2 fan speeds. Replacement filter only $10. If you take a good care, you may get longer filter life span. I used only filter water to get rid of the mineral as suggested by the manufacturer. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

I recently bought this humidifier to replace another one I had and I love it!! The humidistat is a great feature and I love the quick-dry as well. It is very quiet and easy to clean. I was thrilled to find a humidifier with all the features I wanted for much less than the price of the others I had seen.

Product was received undamage and was easy to unpackage. Setup and initial operation was easy. Water tank hold sufficient water to humidify my 20' x 20' room for 12+ hours even on the driest day. Humidy control and wick drying feature work well. Price was equal to lowest of other suppliers.

I bought this humidifier and thought it was pretty good, although the wick filter was gross and turned brown and stinky then eventually fell apart. Unless you intend on replacing the filters monthly don't be fooled by the auto dry feature, it doesn't work. After 4 months I was going to clean it and couldn't get into the fan to clean out the built up dust. Well apparently you can't. I called Sunbeam and they said they would replace it (with another useless machine that you can't clean) but they won't refund me my money back and that the warranty doesn't cover dust. It's not broken it's just dirty. I have 3 kids with asthma and running a dusty humidifier isn't helpful. So now I have a dirty humidifier that I can't clean and can't use, and I need to go out and spend more money on a new one. NEVER BUY a SUNBEAM (they said all their humidifiers are the same and none can be cleaned properly)
