How do you fill this appliance? Does the tank have to be lifted AND TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, or can it be filled from the top?

The bottom piece is the water tank. Therefore, you have to lift the top piece and you can fill the water tank from the top.

The tank is on the bottom. The top is the fan housing. The top comes off and you fill the base. You can take the tank (the bottom) to the faucet and fill it , but I find it more convenient to use a container that holds 1-2 gallons and fill the base. Walking around with the base full of water is awkward and it is easy to have water slosh over on the floor. Much easier to take water to the machine.

The top comes off, you fill the bottom part. After one year of continuous use, still running good! Has to be filled about every 2 or 3 days.

It is easy as 1,2,3.In order to fill this unit with water, you would need:* to lift the top half up, and set it aside* pour water in to the lower half (water tank)* put the top half back on the tankEnjoy.

There isn't a tank. You fill the bowl manually with the foot pedal, and a harder push with the foot pedal opens the drain to flush

You fill it directly. The top part that has the motor and removeable. The bottom part holds the water and filter. The front vent you see there is removable also and you can fill through that space. Easy to fill, rolls well.

You twist off the top and fill it up from there. I generally fill it up every time I use it.

My water container has a twist on lid that has a small opening on it for the water to come through. This small opening has a plastic snap on it. When the water container is turned upside down and placed in position, gravity makes the water fill the bowl. Not sure if we have the same product but that's how mine works. Hope that helps!

You pop the tank out if I remember right. There's a hole at the top to fill it. Like I've said elsewhere though I would never recommend this machine as when it breaks, it's disposable.

Fill the container and screw the top back on flip it once quickly to right it - some small amount of water will come out and I haven't found a way not to lose a bit of water when turning it, but it is only a little bit.

Very easy. Just tilt up and roll where you want it. "Full" tank of water is about half full, so when you tilt it up the water level stays below any point where it could leak out.

There are included instructions within the clear vacuum when shipped. It's also labeled on the sink adapter (green part) in case you lose the instructions. Off the top of my head, I believe you push up and twist counter clockwise to fill tank, and reverse to drain tank.

You can fill it up either way, just make sure you keep an eye on the gauge and slow down when almost full, kind of hard to move when full though, I just fill it with a five gallon tank and make a few trips.

No. You have to lift up the tank, flip it upside down, unscrew the plug, and fill from the bottom. It is a fairly small tank vs other humidifiers but may still seem heavy once filled.

Yes. The bottom of the tank has a lid that is removed for filling and replaced. Once you have filled the tank and put the lid back on you must turn the tank upside down to put it back on the unit.

The top has an easy carry handle that holds down under the removable / position able mist cap. You do have to fill at the sink. It has a large easy to remove knob on the bottom of the tank. It's a small tank, not heavy and I refill mine once a week at most..it has auto shut off. I run it continuously on "low"

You grab the reservoir at the top of the unit by its small, poorly designed handle made of brittle plastic, lift and flip over. On the bottom there is a large drain plug that you need to unscrew (sometimes near impossible to do) and you fill it using your tub or kitchen faucet. The tank is too tall to fit in most bathroom sinks. After that you screw the drain plug back on and you carry the unit back to the base using another poorly designed handle made of brittle plastic, but this time it is on the bottom. This task is harder because you are carrying a significant amount of weight. Than you turn it over and place it back on the unit. Check for leaks before you do that. If you see a leak from the drain plug tighten more. As the unit gets older you will have to tighten it so much that you won't be able to unscrew it anymore by hand. This is when you resort to a jar opener. If you miss the leak you risk a mini flood, but it will be fairly benign since it is only a gallon or so of water. The damage will be minimal. Mechanics gloves would be a good idea to give you more grip and protect your knuckles when unscrewing the drain plug.

You have to take the clear container from the base. Then you unscrew an opening on the bottom of the clear part and holding the clear part upside down, you fill it with water. Then you screw the opening closed and flip the clear section over and it lines up with the base. It is not hard to do but has to be done after about 11 hours of use. I have been satisfied with it and I have had it for quite a few months. For an 80 year old, it may be a tough thing to do. I am younger and fairly strong. Any further info, I am happy to give you.

The top pulls off and the you use the bottom to fill each side. Here is a video showing you just how to do it: http://youtu.be/VYrFpbAkhtI
