Runtime depends on mode.
A long low-output runtime does not establish strong room humidification. The claims here were not measured under a common test.

A USEFUL SECOND LOOK
What the numbers leave out.
Quiet is more than a number.
Advertised decibel figures may use different distances and settings. Dripping and startup sounds need hands-on assessment.
Price is a moment in time.
Observed Amazon prices exclude any assumptions about tax or delivery. eBay condition and exact model must be checked separately.
