We got this humidifier for our kid's bedroom. It is silent, has a large tank that makes it operate for at least a couple of days without refilling, and has a night light feature which is good for our kid. A plus also is the ability to add essential oils from the top to distribute a soothing aroma. To control its operation, there are four touch buttons under the screen, or you can use the remote for the same purpose. The screen shows the current room temperature, humidity level, and the fan's speed.All in all, it is a very practical and silent humidifier that I definitely recommend.
