My wife wanted to have a humidifier in our bedroom for our newborn baby.  We bought it at Sears a month or two before his birth.  It has been working fine.  In the instructions, they advise about minimizing/avoiding mildew build-up, due to the use of water in the humidifier machinery.  So far, I try to carefully rinse the water container & lid when I refill with fresh cold tap water.  In the 3-4 months of winter since we bought it, there is maybe a slight mildewy smell only.  In the summer it might be worse, but we probably won't need it then & can turn it off & empty all water & let it dry! ...

It's easy to set up. It's easy to maintain. It goes a very good job of humidifying a living room in a typical city condo. That's where I've got mine. Also the filters seem easy to find and aren't too expensive.

I am a winter sinus suffer. I need relief, especially at night.  Iould not breathe and the snoring  would keep my husband awake.

. I brought a Holmes Humidifier-Cool Mist HM1746 put in the bedroom.  I just turn on the Humidifier, no more snoring, clear nasal passages.

Now  I had found another way to make my husband happy in bed. 

 I have also purchase one for my mother, sister, daughter and granddaughter.

We love our Holmes 1746, but the tank cap gasket deteriorated--I mean it eventually turned to mush.  The replacement price is high ($4.50?! plus $3.99 shipping?!...c'mon!).  Other than that we really like it.  Is there some special way to lengthen the life of the cap gasket? If so, please send a shout out. If not, please improve product.
