Customer Review: 2 Years and still going!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been using the humidifier for 2 years now (on the same cartridge) and it's still going strong! This is our first humidifier so I don't have anything to compare it to, but my friend had one (don't know the brand) with a nightlight on it and it barely put out any moisture when her son had croup. I ran this one over and she fell in love with it and bought one the next day! Yes, there is a smell in the room after a night of being used with the door closed, but I just assumed it was from the dampness. All in all, I love my humidifier!Customer Review: RETURNED 3 TIMES!

THE WATER DOES NOT SEEM TO DRAIN PROPERLY INTO THE BASE. AFTER INSERTING THE TOP PORTION INTO THE BOTTOM, ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WOULD FLOW INTO THE BASE. I EXCHANGED IT AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEXT ONE. SO I DECIDED TO DRAIN THE WATER BY HAND AND THEN TURN IT ON. WORKED OKAY BUT WAS A PAIN AND STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SO I DECIDED TO TRY YET ANOTHER ONE. ONLY TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT MUST BE A PRODUCT DEFECT. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY HOLMES ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER!!Customer Review: Great product, no problems at all!

I've had mine for a few months now and have used it for my kids very bad colds and also they both had RSV in November and had to use it for that as well. It's quiet, you wouldn't know it was on. You can adjust the direction it sprays. The water lasts all night long and for one nap the next day. I wash once a week like the directions say. It's also neat looking, not hospital like :) We're thinking of buying one for our own bedroom w/ all this dry weather!Customer Review: Broke in 10 minutes

I bought this item after seeing 5 star reviews and was very disappointed. I took it out the sealed box, filled the tank and it began humidifying beautifully. But, within 10 minutes, the steam ceased to come out and the reservoir at the bottom leaked all over my carpet. I removed the tank, emptied the reservoir and tried again with the same result. I put the piece of junk back in the box and returned it to the store. I would NOT recommend this item.Customer Review: Not as good as I had hoped!

The unit stopped working after three days. I spent a long time on the phone waiting for KAZ customer service and they just told me to return it to where I purchased it from. The unit was also louder (especially when the water tank was low), than my Douglas ultrasonic humidifier (that still works after about 10 years). I use Reverse Osmosis water in the humidifier, so the white mineral dust is not a problem for me. I will try the Venta Sonic next.
