If you need a good room humidifer let me know by PM'ing me Katherine. Believe me when I say that not all humidifer's are created equal! Some are not worth the expense. I use 'cool air' humidifer's as being the most efficient. By the way I remember back in 2003 (I believe) when it hit 99 degrees F. in Newport OR. A older gentlemen told me at the time that it was last that hot in like 1949.....................AL
