The Safety 1st Ultrasonic 360 is an ultrasonic tabletop humidifier that can humidify an area up to 330 square feet. The humidity can be adjusted with a manual dial, and the split rotating nozzle can direct vapor in two directions. It also shuts off automatically when the tank is empty. Users say this basic humidifier produces good moisture and is easy to use and clean. However, we did see several reports of durability problems. Several users say their humidifiers broke down after a few weeks or months, and we read many accounts of leakage. One user even reports getting a shock when water leaked into the machine's motor. This humidifier can also leave floors and other surrounding areas damp, and some users complain that it tips easily. Overall, we found better reviews for the Crane EE-5301 Cool Mist Humidifier (*Est. $45) , which is only a bit more expensive.
