Too noisy - can't sleep

I wanted a warm mist humidifier but the options are limited. After using this one night, my husband commented "it is like sleeping in a boiler room". The gurgling sound of the water is just too much. I returned it.

Bionaire has offered to replace my unit - their customer service is excellent. I hope that my first unit was just faulty.

This unit has leaked over two gallons of water all over my hardwood floors twice over the past month. I have an email out to Bionaire Customer Service and I'm hoping they will accept the return. Maybe I just have a faulty unit but its ruined a table and damaged my floors in two different spots.

I’ve had a lot of different humidifiers in the past,both cheap ones and expensive once but every humidifier worked as how much I’d paid for them,I bought this one when my last Air o swiss broke down last week,1st of all to my surprise it didn't raise the humidity level ln my room to even 40%! I woke up with dry mouth and throat for straight two nights ,with 2.2 gallon tank it runs only for 12-14hrs and lastly you hardly see any steam coming out but makes a very big sound like you are next to a pop corm machine,am going to return it as soon as possible.This peace shouldn't be called a humidifier in the first place.

Loved it!

I loved this humidifier. Love the fact that there is no filter. I'v tried cool mist humidifiers and all they did was make me sick due to pouring bacteria from the filter into the air causing me to get severe head colds and once the flu. This one kills all bacteria before hitting the air due to the warm mist. Mine broke due to moving to a new location but I plan on purchasing a new one! Love it!

Good but not Great

Purchased this humidifier after a Walgreens humidifer died in less than a year. I like the look of this--very sleek--however, a couple of minor design changes would improve it greatly. There is no nozzle to direct the vapor. This product is designed with a flat back, but don't think of putting it against a wall, as the steam will go straight up against that wall.
The Power LED is recessed very far below the top, and it appears to be rather dim. Even with the lights off, you can't tell if the unit is on. It does gurgle a bit, which is not bothersome at all in my living room, but I can see how it could be annoying in a bedroom if you were trying to sleep and not used to the noise. So at least that noise will tell you it's on, but I'd rather a brighter or relocated light to remind me that it's on when it's empty.
It does a great job at humidifying a room--you can set your heater lower, as moist air does feel warmer than dry air. I haven't noticed any moisture settling out onto the flooring or even the counter below this. However, one more annoyance--the tank is made of a rather brittle plastic, and when the tank is full, it can be rather heavy, so set it down gingerly, or you will crack the plastic.
If you don't mind these little quirks, it does a fine job. I just have another warm-humidifier model from another brand that's totally silent, has a pocket for Vicks or other inhalants, doesn't direct the steam straight up, and whose tank is very robust.

Had this humidifier for 3 years, and it's still top notch. No leaks, warm to prevent mold, no filter, dishwasher-able trays.

On the one hand, it works. It humidifies the room. On the other, it is so poorly designed that my bedroom floor around this gets soaked. I'm returning it ASAP.

I have owned this for a little over 2 years now, and we LOVE it! We got it originally because our 2 month old had really bad allergies. It does the perfect amount of noise. Enough that she sleeps through most sounds now, at 2, and not so much to have it wake her up. If you fill the tank, it can run from 8pm to 8am for 2 or 3 days, which is great for us! The "White Noise" that it makes is just the boiling of the water in the tray, and a puffing kind of sound much like the steaming option on an iron. If you don't like those sounds, this isn't for you. :) It is still working wonderfully, with no issues. Never gets hot to the touch, so even if our 2 year old tries to play is can't hurt her, which is a HUGE plus! Hope this helps!

We've had this humidifer for a couple of years and LOVE it. We never hear it, and it holds a ton of water. As long as you follow the instructions and let it sit for 2 minutes after filling it before turning it on, we never hear a thing. It's easy to carry and fill the bucket, too, which is nice.

lots of noise

This looks very nice and holds a lot of water but it makes a constant noise like it's warming up but the sound never goes away. I like white noise in my bedroom but this is VERY annoying noise and not soothing at all. I have only had it for two days but the sound will not go away no matter what setting I put it on. It's a shame because it was a good price, holds a lot of water and is much better looking than most humidifiers out there. If the sound would go away or even if it was more of a soothing water sound it could have been perfect!
