What People Say

Pros: Cute design, easy to refill tank, easy to use. from Shopping.com Extremely cute but the "panda" pooped out after only a month and a half. Motor makes screeching sounds on start up and caused concerns for burning up the motor and starting a fire. Very dissapointed!! We also have the frog humidifier as well and we are on our second one of those for similar reasons. Don't plan on wasting anymore money on these. from Target.com Although it's cute, I'm not sure how well it's working. I don't notice a huge increase in humidity in the small room I use it in. It concerns me that it doesn't have a filter and I also worry about keeping it clean. I can't say that I would recommend this humidifier. from Target.com This humidifier is really cute, but not effective enough. The mist pours out of the ears and falls straight to the floor. I didn't have anything really tall to place it on to see if it would be more effective. It is a petri dish for mold so it has to be bleached often to keep my baby from breathing it in. She has been congested since day one and this hasn't helped alleviate the problem. We're buying a 'regular' humidifier to replace it and selling this one at our next garage sale. A pity because it looks so cute in the nursery. from Target.com i loved this humidifier..but a couple of months into having it-it just stopped working... =( from Target.com Works well in small rooms but in a larger room you have to turn the mist settings up and then it just goes through water too quickly from Target.com This humidifier is cute to look at, and it does work well enough to humidify our baby's small room. But it only works for a short time immediately after it has been cleaned and refilled. After a few hours, you stop being able to see the mist, and there is so much condensation build up that you see the start of mold growing (and it's hard to clean behind the ears!). Anyway, you really have to stay on top of cleaning for it to work well...which is obvious, yes, but hard when you're generally exhausted from parenting! from Target.com I am surprised that this is the highest rated humidifier at Target. Did the reviewers use a hygrometer to test the effectiveness of this humidifier? I did. My house is bone dry during the winter. When the heater is running the relative humidity (RH) in my daughter's small nursery can get under 5%. I have an accurate hygrometer in the room to monitor the RH. After a month of testing this unit (Panda) I have determined that it is only affecting the humidity by about 3-4%. You can see the mist coming out, which gives the appearance that it is working. However, it simply isn't evaporating or circulating the mist enough to be effective. (Perhaps if a small fan was aimed at the top of this unit it would be more effective.) This morning the RH in my daughter's nursery was 4% after running this humidifier continuously for several days. I went out and purchased a $30 unit made by Holmes designed for small rooms. No, it isn't silent. No, it isn't cute. Yes, it works. The RH began to rise within 10 minutes. Buy a 15 dollar hygrometer and test a few units for yourself. Also, this unit has no filter. So, if you are going to use it, it is especially important to use distilled water. [...] from Target.com Excellent Humidifier!! Kept rm cozy and comfortable. Very very quiet. Rm was also kept warm.
