it is very quiet, easy to fill and doesn't slow down or quit with hard water!!
from Clean MaMa "Diana R", www.target.com
also if you choose not to use distilled water and your hard water is making white dust appear.
from www.amazon.com
the demineralization cartridge that was complained about is optional ($5 for a two-pack at walmart), but if you have hard water it can apparently cause white powder to appear on nearby furniture.
from www.amazon.com
the demineralization cartridge is optional and required only if you live in hard water areas.
from www.target.com
when i did do it, there was obvious hard water buildup (we do have hard water, as evidenced by the 'white residue' we get on the dresser beside the humidifier) that was difficult to get rid of.

i don't have particularly hard water where i live, but it does leave a bit of a crust on the radiator.
from www.amazon.com
this humidifier does not require that you use a demineralization cartridge, so unless hard water is a problem, you probably won't have that extra cost.
from www.amazon.com
but that means if you have hard water, the steam can leave a white dust on the furniture.
from www.amazon.com
because of that, we use distilled water since we have hard water.
from www.amazon.com
if you are using hard water, you might find the white dust residue nearby, but not a big deal at all.
