This is my first humidifier, but I am extremely satisfied with it.
The instruction is very clear and easy to follow.
It is easy to put together, simply attach the tank to the bottom.
All suggest to me that this is a very efficient machine for a warm mist humidifier(well, at least to me):

1.Within 30 minutes of use, it works and I can feel the difference.
2.No leaking.
3.No noise (slight bubbling sound is actually soothing to me, not noisy.)
4.Sturdy construction.
5.Humidity adjustable (many options, not just 2).
6.Large tank and easy to refill.
7.Low maintenance. (No filter required if you have regular tap/city water.)
8.Easy to clean. (With ultraviolet lights, cleaning isn't required on a weekly basis.)
9.For cats owners: My cats don't get scared of or hurt by it.

I don't think I could ask for more.

***Well...11/5/2007***

It's still great, although I did notice some issues:

1.A bit too much work and too heavy when refill:
For men, this might NOT be an issue, but for women like me, it might be.
To refill, the tank needs to be turned upside down because the tank cap is at the bottom of it.When I am to flip a full tank of water over and put it back onto the base, I do worry. It's quite heavy, and it gets a bit tiring since I do need to refill it every day.There is no easy access!

2.Frequency of refill:
Quote: "It requires no messy filters to replace and runs up to 24 hours each filling."I do need to refill it every 12 hours every day when I:
(1)have it on the highest humidity level
(2)have it on most of the time (12 hours)

So I do refill it every day I get up and every night before I go to bed.I assume it would last up to 24 hours like it says only if the humidity level is set at the lowest, which probably wouldn't cause an obvious difference to the room's humidity.

In all, it's still a good buy. It does help! I notice that I don't wake up with the driest skin in the morning anymore.

**A little tip**
A teaspoon of salt helps it evaporate more moisture, although it makes the water run out faster.

**I attached a picture of mine with my Treo next to it. The ratio should give a brief idea of how big the machine is.

Green Killing Machine 9 watt Internal UV Sterilizer with Power Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a chance on a relatively new vendor and I'm glad I did. Hats off to the Umbrella Group. Everything went smoothly and the product was delivered in good shape and on time.
I'm very pleased with the unit. I needed a UV filter for a smaller tank with a hanging filter (so an in-line wouldn't work) and was very happy to find this at a great price. It's whisper-quiet and includes a power head for great circulation.
Two small words to the wise:
1) The product is a snap to set up if you're a little mechanically inclined because the instructions that come with it leave something to be desired. The illustrations are microscopic and the text says to see illustrations that don't exist.
2) Make sure you look at ALL the photos before you decide to put this in a smaller tank (20 g or less). It takes up more room than the main picture might lead you to believe but is rated up to 50g.
With that said, I would heartily recommend this to anyone who's ever dealt with an algae bloom (or anyone who doesn't want to).

Product Description:
AA Aquariums Green Killing Machine makes fighting green water easier. UV radiation is effective in controlling bacteria, yeast, mold and other pathogens that in turn control algae growth. Aquarium water flows in direct contact with the UV lamp, intensifying its function of fighting green water. The simple all-in-one design (Filtration pump and sponge included) can be hidden behind ornaments and plants minimizing on tubing around your aquarium.? A Breakthrough in UV sterilizers: Low Cost and easy to use (10 minute set-up).? Perfect for Salt and Fresh water aquariums up to 50 Gallons.? Child safe 12 Volt design that uses a completely sealed bulb assembly - pump included!? Good for novices as well as experts!? Assembled unit measures: 7.5 x 1.8 x 4 inches.FAQ:Q: Is this a disposable unit? A: The Green Killing Machine itself is not a disposable unit. Just like any other UV sterilizer; the bulb itself is disposable. The difference between AA and other brands is that we replace the lamp together with its housing, so we make sure the seal is 100% tight and easy for users. The UV lamps have a life span of about 6,000 hours; so if the LED indicator on the control box is OFF, it means you will have to replace the UV lamp assembly. Prices for these replacement bulbs are very affordable and can be purchased here. Q: Why is the flow rate so slow?A: The slow flow rate together with our ZIGZAG flow design (inside the housing) is utilized to maximize sterilizing time.
