Awkward to Refill, Wicks are Shortlived
Low ambient humidity (below 30%) is both uncomfortable and unhealthy - it dries out my sinuses, gives me a dry cough, make me more prone to respiratory infections, and it also gives me dermatitis & dander in my beard and scalp (which further exacerbates my cough). For that reason, I prefer to humidify my bedroom in wintertime. Why wintertime and not year round ? Because when the temperature outside drops, it's ability to hold moisture decreases very significantly. Anyway, for optimum comfort, I try to prevent my bedroom's humidity from dropping below 40% ... better still, 45%.
I recently purchased a BCM645.
PROs:
* Digital Hygrometer/Humidistat: This unit has a convenient and easy to read digital LCD display connected to a built-in hygrometer (to detect ambient humidity level), and a hydrostat (that allows you to set a desired minimum humidity for the unit to maintain ... sort of like a dehumidifier only in reverse).

THE WORST ONE ON THE MARKET
THIS IS GOT TO BE THE WORST DESIGH OF A HUMIDIFIER ON THE MARKET. FILLING IT IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OTHER THAN TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT TANK. I'M TRYING TO ORDER MY 3RD ONE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE ANY. HMMMM! I WONDER WHY......
Didn't have a good experience with it
I followed the instructions to the letter, filling the reservoir with cool water, not warm. Filling the reservoir is easy.
When I put the reservoir into the housing, some of the water emptied into the base, as it is supposed to do. But it never stopped. The water started flowing out of the unit onto the floor, and didn't stop until I pulled out the reservoir.
I checked everything, over and over. I checked the instructions for troubleshooting, but this problem was not addressed. There were no cracks in the unit that I could see.
Maybe I just got a bad one, but I'm not willing to give this model another chance. I'm going to get something different.
