Pluses
- In addition to being a humidifier, it traps pet hair, large dust and pollen particles in its base unit, which can be easily rinsed and cleaned out
- Uses an Ionic Mineral Stick for anti-bacterial protection of the water, and requires no expensive replacement filters unlike most humidifiers
- When the water in the tank runs below the minimum water level the unit and fan will automatically shut-off. This saves energy and reduces the risk of damaging the unit.
- By having the single unit clean and humidify the room, there is more space as compared to having multiple units to perform the same tasks
- The room air can be humidified and scented at the same time by placing a piece of cotton wool which has been sprinkled with a fragrance into the fragrance capsule.
- A 10 year warranty is the best we’ve seen for a humidifier
Minuses
- Does not effectively clean smaller particles in the air compared to having a separate air purifier
- Due to the small opening, cleaning the tank can be difficult and more time consuming
