does the job

very attractive. I wanted to upgrade from my Vicks Vaporizer that I bought for eight dollars at Walmart.
This vaporizer makes about the same noise as the Vicks Vaporizer, and virtually does the same thing.
One problem is cleaning the base. I live in South Florida, and we are considered to have very hard water. Taking the machine apart is a cinch to clean, but the actual cleaning is tough. It's difficult to get into all of those nooks and crannies. I've been changing the filter twice a week, just because it looks dirty. The recommendation is to change the filter when it's hard, or every three weeks.
Overall, it's extremely attractive and does the job.
