Customer Review: Very poorly designed
Be warned, this is a very poorly designed product.
1) The handle for the tank is on the bottom. That means you need to set it down to fill it, or hold it by the side of the slippery plastic. I dropped my tank 2 days after purchasing the unit because of this. It shattered and I had to order another for $20.
2) The filter only works if it’s wet. That means if you turn the unit off during the day, you need to soak the filter before turning the unit on again. What a pain.
I’m returning mine as soon as I can.
