I have severe nasal & throat allergies. I haveva 2 humidifiers in my room just to have some relief from the stuffiness, sneezing and inable to sleep thru the night..not to mention no humidifier is pretty to look at, makes noise, bulky and annoying...the first night i realised i slept thru the night. No stuffiness, sore throat, first time in a long time i had slept so well...besides its pretty, compact, and quiet...got rid of both humidifiers, only using this product...dont let the pretty and small size fool you...this is amazing and powerful...#rankbooster
