More of a health and safety issue than a poor product.Bought a ElectriQ 12L de humidifier.We were quite happy with it did the job in our small terraced house.Until one evening after emptying the unit to return it downstairs the handle completely snapped off causing it to fall down our stairs and smash into the wall at the foot of our stairs.14kgs of appliance falling like could be very dangerous. Please be aware of this danger..we were told its out of warranty and basically our own fault.Was offered on 3 occasions a new handle!!But would I really want to plug the busted appliance back into the mains?No thank you..repeat be aware of this flimsy handle issue.
