This humidifier is amazingly and unbelievably quiet! Alas, after 9 months of use the unit now keeps telling me that it's out of water, in spite of the fact that there is water in the tank, and water in the base unit. This seems to be a common issue according to various online reviews. One web page I found listed 4 steps from LeVoit to remedy this issue but it's not described well enough for me to understand exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm not sure if it's the programing or the sensor, but it doesn't seem to follow the settings when in "Auto" mode. It will turn off before it hits the goal or continue going way above the goal. I appreciate how quiet it is, but I'm underwhelmed.

Been using for about 1 month. Cleaning according to the book. But, the filter sponge has turned yellow and is disintegrating. One spare filter sponge was in the box. No luck searching for replacement filter sponges. Otherwise it is quiet and does add humidity to the room.

We appreciate you sharing your experience. The installed water filter sponge is optional and helps catch minerals from hard water. You can remove and rinse it under warm water to clean it; you can also leave it out altogether. Please note that as substances oxidize, it is normal to observe some discoloration. Although the filters are not available to purchase, we are planning on releasing the filter on Amazon by the end of June. If you have any further questions, contact us directly at support@levoit.com or (888) 726-8520; our phone lines are open Monday thru Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST.
A simple thing like the power switch is giving us problems - it can take up to a minute for us to get the thing turned on. Someone designed it to be sleek and cool looking with no regard to operation. I think if you have to get manual out to operate a simple humidifier then you haven't designed it right.

The on-off button, lower right, is hard to operate.
