 We used to like this, but now know it's junk ... wish we could change it to 1 star! January 5, 2007

We bought two of these in fall 06. After two months use, one of the units had a fan failure. It ran noisily for a few days prior to the failure, then ground to a halt. I called Kaz's customer service (the Honeywell name is licensed), and they agreed to send me a new one free. After five months use, the second unit failed in exactly the same way. This time, customer service required me to pay $20 for a new one to be shipped, and they required in each case the return of the defective one at my cost for shipping. They are simply NOT durable! We now have one in service, with the other as a backup since we anticipate a product failure this winter. One other thing: they are awkward to fill. The water chamber has a curved bottom so it will not sit flat in your sink. You have to balance it with one hand, and operate the faucet and put on the lid with the other. This design defect is SO obvious it makes you wonder how function followed form in product design. You also need a fairly deep sink or a tall spigot to fill it without tipping it and spilling. The filling problem is aggravating since you need to fill it at least twice daily. As far as ability to humidify, it works reasonably well, and is fairly quiet. But I wouldn't recommend this unit at all after living with it.

After reading the previous reviewer's comments I was quite surprised. This humidifier changed the humidity in my entire 1 bedroom apartment from 48% to 60% in less than 1 hour. It only uses 1/2 of the tank of water over a 15-hr period. I didn't experience a browning tank or filter, although I filled the tank with filtered water purposefully so it wouldn't have to be cleaned as often. I hardly notice it when it cycles on because it is so quiet. It does cycle on and off but usually stays on for about 60-90 min and then off for the same amount of time. Perhaps the last reviewer didn't notice a change in humidity because his room was already at 60% - this is the upper limit the humidifier can reach according to the manufacturer. There are no wet spots on my floor, no condensation on the windows, and no white dust from metals in the water vapor. The only thing I was a little disappointed about is that if the fan is facing you, it can make you a little chilly, but not enough to really bother me. It was very easy to set up, and I love that it doesn't look like an awkward box sitting in the middle of the room. Would definitely recommend it without reservation.

We searched and searched for a humidifier that doesn't take up much space, doesn't darken the room by being a black/gray unit, and has UV light to retard mold---this is it. It works wonderfully.

Excellent product!! Features that I especiallly liked were: 3 fan speeds; humidity "thermostat" that shuts the system off when desired level of humidity is reached; UV to kill germs and other polutants; clean air filter (both help with my asthma condition); no vapor mist - humidity is invisibly added; quiet fan; easy fill and replace 3 gal. container; replacement filters economical and easily found.
To date (after sigificant use) I have found nothing negative about this product.
Very nice unit! June 4, 2008

I love this unit for several reasons! I live in a dry climate and so I used it all winter long with absolutely no problems at all. It's easy to maintain, I ran it all night and the only had to fill the tank every few days. It's easy to move, easy to clean. I recommended it to friends who have also purchased one for their home. I feel it's a great value.
