I have an identical humidifier from Kaz that we like a lot. I should have known the price wouldn’t be as low for the same unit. It really is a PERSONAL humidifier. It’s quiet, it’s effective but it should only be used in a very small room. Fortunately we were able to swap the larger one into the master bedroom and this personal size works fine for a 10×10 room. As with its larger version, the mist is pretty intense and creates a damp carpet from the mist projection – and that’s on the lowest setting. We use it to offset the winter’s dry air and really like the lack of mold-growing filters and the fact that it’s extremely quiet. Compared to the standard cold-mist humidifier with a filter system, this is a much better alternative.

This is a wonderful item. We have tried every kind of humidifier from tabletop ones to the HUGE multi-tank “whole house” type that have 2-4 large tanks and roll around on wheels. My main problem was that I was the only one strong enough to fill and carry the tanks, so I was on permanemt “water carrier” duty. For the huge ones on wheels I hooked up a hose to the faucet and dragged it to the humidifier to fill it. What a pain! This Kaz personal is by far the best choice.

It does have a small tank, but it’s so light that my elderly mother or the kids can fill and carry the tank themselves. It’s also cheap enough to put one in every room. And it’s great for travel; just pop it in your luggage and use it in hotels or wherever. We have 1 in each bedroom, and in the living room, kitchen and office. They last almost 2 years then it will just stop steaming. The larger, more pricey ones last about the same amount of time but are way more expensive to replace. On low setting it will go almost 10 hours so the size really isn’t an inconvenience.

Kaz used to change the style every year, but hopefully they’ll stick with this one. The first Kaz Personal took a 1 Liter plastic bottle instead of a tank. A great idea, but the thinness of the bottle you use affected the steam; too thin walls and the water would run out, too thick and nothing happened. I found myself in supermarkets squeezing bottles as if I was picking a ripe melon. Now the Kaz Personal has its own small tank and it is absolutely the best!

This is the best humidifier I have ever found! I have two of them going almost constantly in the winter months. It refills easily and has no filter. It is quiet and has no annoying light to keep me awake. It goes for many hours. The only drawback might be if you wanted to add something to the water. You use plain tap water. Excellent!
