Humidifiers Reviews

I agree with other reviewers about humidistat cycling on and off. I ended up not using the auto feature. Also, once the tank gets low, it starts to rattle a bit in the base and is no longer "whisper quiet." Finally, our house has old steam heat radiators and our room is 13x13 with 9 foot ceilings and the tank did not last the night during most of December and January when set to 40%. I did, however, find the replacement filters easily at Target. I would not recommend this humidifier.

The filters of the highly recommanded Holmes (by the Consumer Reports)stopped absorbing water after about 4 weeks of use. The company claims that the filter (composed of 3 small filters) has to be replaced every 6 weeks. This is unacceptable and an expensive operation!

This item is a damaged item when i received.The inside plastic part was broken. Thought writing and following up on refund is bigger task than purchasing. I have not yet started using this item, though i rated this as it is a manadatory field on the screen.

I bought this product thinking that it would suffice for my needs and boy was I wrong. All I wanted was a humidifier that would automatically keep the humidity of the room at optimal level. I brought this thing home filled it up at set it to run on high @ 40% humidity. (a common amount), If theory it was suppose to shut off when it reached that level, but insted it ran ALL night (for about 9 hours) non-stop! It never shut off once and when I woke up in the morning, I will admit that the room was humid... Everything was damp. It must have been at least 70% humidity in there, and the tank was bone dry as well. Only buy this if you plan on just leaving it run all the time or you are putting it in a completly sealed off room. (no heating vents). The automatatic shut off and humidity sensors are absolute crap! I am returning this hunk of junk today!

I have had this product for over 6 months now and it has always performed well. Good value for the price

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.
