Hi jcp

We tried them for 2 seasons the end result being white dust all over anything near them, inside of TVs, inside of DVD players (actually ruined one), white dust on solid wood furniture in the room.

Even changing filters on the time schedule they recommended (which is expensive) we still ended up with the white dust on everything.

And there are other methods of humidifying which give better results.
