I am a huge proponent of online shopping. Yes, I know I am single-handedly destroying my local economy by not shopping local, but sometimes my purchases are too specific.

14% of the 20,000 ratings for this product were 1 star. Customers complained about the issues with charging the device and the fact that the lights would flicker and not always work. Other reviews stated the humidifier would simply stop working after a while.

So, there you have it. As great as online shopping is, you are still subject to faulty products. Luckily, most distributors have a customer service link that USUALLY works out...
