Humidifiers Reviews

i bought two of these this summer, one broke within two months. i tried to get a replacement part from holmes but they sent me the wrong parts over and over. i have since returned the unit for a refund but have not recieved any money yet. the other unit is now acting up. save youself some trouble buy another unit.

Bought this humidifier last winter. Worked reasonably well for 3 months before it died. However, the unit was quite noisy - it is designed in a way that boiling noise is amplified and loud enough to be disturbing when watching TV. In addition, the design results in water condensing and ending up on the floor. Thirdly, the after filling the tank, it was usually very hard to get it restarted - impossible to get the empty tank to turn off. Last, the design makes it hard to clean the heating element after a while. The element has a non-stick coating but this coating disappears over time. Can not recommend this unit!

Addendum: I think I will upgrade this unit to 3 stars. After all, it did work well for 3 months.

The vaporizer holds 1.7 Gallons, generously counting tank+base. In practice, because I don't fill the base, a bit more than a gallon.

The vaporizer has a daily rate of 4 gallons (Thus the name). To keep it going for a full day, you have to fill it up 3 times. Effectively, it doesn't run for a full night because the tank isn't big enough.

4 Gallons is a Misleading description because many would assume it refers to the tank.

It does otherwise match the picture and description, and is a quite nice vaporizer.

This was rated one of the top air purifier and it didn't disappointed me at all. I would recommend this if you are looking to spend around 200 or below. I am planning on buying another one for my parents.

Can't speak much about actually using this product. When I received it and unboxed it, it was destroyed. Straight from the factory. No damage to the box or during shipment. Pieces were actually broken off the fact and the metal encasement was bent, but no plastic was inside the box. So, it was dropped before it was packaged at the factory, packaged anyway and then subsequently returned to Amazon. Buy from Amazon, just not this company.

It did not work.I had to return the product.I will say to return it was really reallly easy at amazon.

The product didnt deliver at all any kind of results. It actually was wrost than before. I turned it on for a day and I had water running on my wall. Dont buy this product ever.

This humidifier is useless and ridiculously loud. You really can't use it on aany setting higher than low because it sounds like a jet taking off. I've had it running for four days and it has yet to move the humidity level more than 3%. From the minute I started using this unit it reported that the wick needed replacement. I'll be sending it back and buying a Vornado to replace it.

I just bought this unit, and I like it very much! It is VERY quiet and very efficient. The only drawback is that is has a maximum humidity setting of 65%, but I slept better than I have in weeks since my old Hamilton Beach humidifier died.
