I find it rather design for a humidifier and fairly high tech, but I quickly became disillusioned when after 8 hours of continuous use and 2 liters evaporated the moisture level had not changed. Must say that I have a poorly insulated apartment in central heating and all the doors of rooms are open to 60m2. I purchased a unit with a capacity of 80m2 and there is no picture! I think in a well insulated house would be different. The unit is fairly quiet, but in my view not necessarily appropriate for a room. I'll return it, pity ...
