we have another small humidifier upstairs in the master bedroom.
has quiet setting for night time, but i keep it on the normal setting all the time and it's not too noisy.
it holds a good capacity of water and is quiet and keeps moisture in the air without hot or cold steam coming out of the unit.
on low it is very quiet !
we run it on low, and it is very quiet.
the only complaint i have is that the highest fan setting is almost unusable - it is very noisy.
pros: easy to clean and replace wicks, reliable, simple to operate cons: unbearably noisy at highest speed.
cons: unbearably noisy at highest speed.
the only problem with this humidifier is that within two weeks the motor starting making a pulsating sound when on the first two speeds.
i would give it 5-stars, but i find the fan a bit noisy on the two higher settings.
top speed is too noisy for a sleeping or living area, but this puts out plenty of moisture and it is very unlikely that you will want the top speed setting.
fan settings on 3 and 4 are loud, more than just background noise - i keep mine on 2 and it isn't bad.
speed two seems too slow and speed three seems a little fast for a bedroom location.
this one is effective and very quiet which is a huge plus.
and yes, you can adjust the fan speed, but getting it anywhere near the upper range makes it sound like a b29 taking off.
the only negative about it is the noise.
in terms of noise, the unit has a fan and that is what it sounds like, a decent size fan in the background.
those who say this thing sounds like a b-52, your crazy!!!
as to the previous review which said it was noisy, i don't agree at all - on high, it's not quiet, but what do you expect?
on the low setting you could sleep in the same room with no problem.
i can sleep with the fan noise at that level no problem.
as to noise.
we keep in on the low setting- the low setting is very quiet and the high is quite loud.
the only negative is that the installation instructions are a little cryptic and the fan makes some noise at highest speed.at low speed, it's silent.
but a little noisy for very light sleepers.
at night you don't want this in your room when trying to sleep.
noise -- quiet is not a word i'd use.
quiet and shuts off when desired humidity reached.
it works great and makes little noise.
best for a bedroom.pros:
