This unit provides adequate humidity. Don't think that it HOLDS 12 gallons -- that's its output. It holds much less than that -- and that's fine if you keep the unit on a low speed and don't mind filling it every few days in dry conditions.
So, filling it is an issue. The cap is on the side of the unit. If you want to fill it by laying the tank on its side and pouring pitchers of water into it, then filling it is pretty easy. However, if you want to fill it by holding it under a faucet or spigot -- be warned.
The unit won't sit properly, and the faucet won't accurately fill the unit, with most sinks. If you want to fill it under the spigot in your bathtub, it's okay, if your tub has a lip or edge on the wall with the spigot, and you'll have to hold the unit, which can get heavy, as it fills. Then you'll have to use your other hand to turn off the water, and then grab and attach the cap, still with one hand while you hold the heavy tank. Or you can hold the tank and grab it with your free hand, put it on the floor, and then put the cap on. And then dry off the tank.
I don't know -- I was used to a unit that I could fill with much more water, but I had to lift the heavy unit out of the tub. This thing is lighter, but it's not as easy to fill as you might be led to believe.

I just purchased this unit and it is going back as soon as the snow quits here. The tank is a two piece design and is glued together. What a terrible looking seam - how did this pass through quality control? This is what holds the water people!! You are asking for problems. Second, the fill hole is on the bottom. That makes no sense at all to have an escape path for water on the bottom on the fill tank particularly in my case where the cap on this new unit leaks. Good thing I have a rimmed baking sheet. So now we have both the quality control department and the design group asleep at the switch. In my opinion it is very noisy considering the high price paid for this unit. I have no idea when the bottle runs dry since it is opaque and no indicator other than the light coming on after it is empty. Unfortunately I will probably never know how it works because as soon as it stops snowing I am going to drain this thing, repack it and take it back. Come on Kenmore, I bought this unit because it is made in the USA and others were made in China. Don't insult American ingenuity with this thing.

I have had 3 humidifiers prior to this one from Kenmore and have been super happy with them. Almost cried when the last one died out out wear. This new 12gallons is deceiving, it's the output not volume capacity to hold water. The construction is very poor, the plastic wellds for the water tank are very rough, not even and the tank is kind of cocked. The water tank fill up is on the side and makes it almost impossible to fill up unless you fill it in your tub or have a big bathroom sink. As the water level goes down and the resevoir tank releases water, it sounds like a toilet being flushed and will wake you up in the middle of the night 5-6 times depending on fan velocity. I could careless about the inaccurate humidity digital reader, but I do care that the fan speed 2 died after 2 weeks. I am not returning it, because I threw out the box and I'm not carrying this mini R2D2 back to the store. I am upset and disappointed with the construction quality and very poor design. I am a big fan of Kenmore appliances, but this one takes the cake for the worst appliance I have ever bought from Sears.
Would and did recommend this product. It's very quiet (we have it in our living room very near our television and it does not interfere with the tv at all. We noticed an almost immediate difference in air quality in our home. We have a 1300 sq ft house, set this next to a cold-air return as instructed and it is wonderful. Bought this in desperation in the midst of two raging sinus infections, our furnace humidifier took a poo. Looks like an oxygen tank my grandmother used to have, but who cares! This thing is wonderful. I acknowledge and gently but firmly rebuff the former complaints regarding quality and usability of this humidifier. We found it to be quite easy to fill at our kitchen sink. I think perhaps it would require being particularly intellectually challenged to not be able to figure out how to fill this up easily. We have the humidity set at 45 and it needs to be refilled once every two days or so. A small price to pay for so much comfort. No more static, cat doesn't shock us every time we touch her, our skin isn't itchy, and we can BREATHE again. Yay, love it!
This humidifier is easy to operate and fill. It effectively humidifies the air in the whole house making it more comfortable in the winter. I set the fan speed on Automatic with my programmed humidity level during use. At first if the humidity is low it will run on HIGH until it reaches the programmed humidity level. It is a little noisy but that's temporary. (It's a high speed fan..what would you expect?) Once your programmed humidity level is reached it automatically turns on and off (at lower speeds) to maintain that level of comfort. Like I said... It's easy to operate, easy to fill and very effective in my one story house.
I just have to say, I tried 5 different brands, sizes, and types of humidifiers to moisten my 2500+ sq. ft. house before finally deciding on this one. None of them could get the humidity past 40%, which I know for some is fine, but not me. I have chronic sinus infections and severely dry nose in winter, and it takes a lot to make me feel better (whine)! I was BLOWN AWAY when 30 minutes after I took this thing out of the box, which took me about 5 minutes to setup, this humidifier was showing 70% humidy!!! I was very pesimistic, but I have a very accurate humidistat meter and it read 68% in the same room....YEAH! I followed the instructions and placed it next to a cold air return for WHOLE HOUSE humidication and cranked it on high. To be fair I gave it a few hours and checked the humidy on the completely opposite end of our large house, and the humidistat read 60%!! This is by far the best humidifier I have ever owned, and one of only a few products I've ever purchased that did exactly what it says on the box!! Needless to say I'm extremly pleased ....:-) I should add that the $139 price tag was the lowest priced humidifier I tried, except for a room sized ultasonic for $79 that couldn't get the humidity higher than 40% being 3 feet from my bed. Great value....Great Unit!
