If possible, I would return the device. We are not satisfied.

Either the air is so dry with us that is hardly aligned with the device or it does not deliver what it promises. In addition, we think there is some room for improvement in the design and usability (handling, timer, size, amount of water...).

Experience so far on humidification and cleaning:
It runs now for 3 weeks and the humidity does not come over 35%, with a room size of about 19 sqm.
The fact that water evaporates is clearly visible in the rapidly emptying water tank. I fill this 2-3 times a day.

After 1.5 days, the filter was already slightly brownish, so it definitely collects something. Whether the air quality is better, I can not measure now. Noticeable is still nothing.

The operating noise is also at the highest level little disturbing.

Handling:
Adjustable can be the humidity, the speed (the faster, the louder) and a timer (maximum 8 hours).
It would be nice to be able to set this to longer intervals. Also, the water tank is too small for my taste (especially in relation to the size of the device - on a desk you just do not put that) and could be more practical to fill up (you always have to lift the lid - relatively heavy - to which also hangs the cable to fill up. So you can not supply the cable well somehow, for example, with cable ties, because it is constantly in motion, this could be easily countered with a flap for water filling, as he has e.g. the Oskar from Stadler).

Summa summarum, we had personally hoped for more from the device. Would it be possible, we would return it. more
