Looks just like the photo. Arrived well packaged and complete. The manual could have been better, was hard to understand the 2 page booklet and pictures could have been better. Took a little while to find the location of the charcoal filter. Leaked a little the first time using but after that hasn't leaked. The fan is fairly quiet. We use a lot of distilled water with 2 of us using C pap machines and I do a lot of things with essential oils. So far seems like a great product, good quality, especially like the heavy glass container. Attractive unit looks good on the kitchen counter. We are on well water and do get alkaloid buildup on coffee makers and other things so I do plan on using it in my coffee maker....
