"Easy to clean but very cranky"
Pro:
The unit was very easy to take apart and clean. That's the main reason I bought it. I didn't want the hassle of constantly replacing wicks or trying to clean heating elements that were impossible to reach.

Cons:
The handles are on the opposite side as the refill opening. So picking it up after filling it is more difficult than it should be.

The boiling water is very loud. To be honest, I thought this would bother me more than it did. I had no problem sleeping through the noise even though it was maybe 10 feet from the bed.

The humidistat is inside the unit right next to the heating element. Even though I cleaned and dried the unit each day, after about a week, the humidistat became very cranky. It would shut the humidifier down and I couldn't get it to restart. Then after a couple of days, it would dry out (I'm guessing) and work again. Then stop working after a few days.

There must be better warm mist humidifiers that are easy to clean and actually work for $90. This was a piece of junk.

"Good humidity but too loud and awkward"
I was happy with this humidifiers performance in regards to how quickly it humidifies the room, however it was very noisy and difficult to fill. Another reviewer reported that the humidistat is very cranky, which is accurate. Sometimes it will go for a day or two without working because of a damp humidistat. I would not recommend this unit, especially for the cost. I understand that Clarion no longer makes this model anyway!

"LEAK"
After a few weeks of use, one of the tanks is leaking. The humidistat (such as it is) is prone to mood swings. I will be replacing this and avoiding Clairion.

"No tank handles, Cranky humidistat"
Overall, I was very disappointed with this humidifier, and have ordered a replacement from a different brand.

The tanks are more difficult to fill then they should be. The design of the tanks is that the handle is on the top, and the fill is on the bottom. That means that there is no convenient place to hold the tank while filling.

When you wash the outside, make sure the entire center column is dry. Otherwise water seeps into the humidistat, and the humidifier will not function for a day or two until it dries. Other models place the humidistat safely away from water.

The humidistat on my unit gets less sensitive over time, so the humidifier does not come on. I have to unscrew the unit and shim the controls. Clairion has not responded to an online service request.

For a $90 premium humidifier, I suggest considering other units. I especially like a Holmes humidifier, with a digital humidistat.

"Nice design, but VERY NOISY"
Overall, a well designed unit - 3 gallon water capacity, very easy to clean (tanks and vaporizing unit all remove easily). Unfortunately, this unit is VERY NOISY - extremely distracting even when in the far corner of my 500 sq ft room. So noisy I had to send it back. While I applaud the excellent design in terms of water capacity and cleaning, I'd never recommend this unit because of the noise level.
