Comment:

I find this product is very professional and easy to use with the exception of the blue cover over the water tank. You can't tell if it's full, half full or empty. Therefore, I have at time overflowed the tank. Improvement should be made on the plate cover, clear, not a color.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
