Been using this style of Honeywell humidifier for about 5 years. The first one was square and developed a leak so Honeywell sent me a new one (no charge) which was the next generation and was cylindrical. I lost the one last year in a fire so this is the latest one and it is the best so far. Filters are much easier to change, electronic controls, easier to clean. It has only one filter compared to previous models. Time will tell.

I purchased this to increase the humidity in a room where I grow and overwinter outdoor plants. I opted for an evaporative humidifier because I knew I would be using regular tap water and I did not want the white dust the ultrasonic humidifiers produce from the minerals in tap water. I also wanted a unit where I could set the desired humidity level and not worry about manually cycling it on and off. Last I wanted a unit with a little bit of style.
The unit has a three-speed fan. I use it on the highest setting even though that is the loudest setting. Being a fan, it’s a white noise that I can tune out when reading. It’s about as loud as our microwave. With the fan set to high the unit cycles on and off more frequently. When set to low it is whisper quiet and runs for a very long time which makes sense since there is less airflow. (Move the unit around to different spots in your room to find the area with the best airflow. Burying it in a corner, behind a door, or under a table isn’t the best choice. )
The humidistat seems reasonably accurate for a consumer product, about +/- 2% from what I can tell. I have it set for 50% humidity. It cycles on about 3% RH below the set-point and clicks off exactly at the set-point.
Depending upon the outside humidity and how long our home furnace runs, I need to refill it every day with about one gallon of water. I found removing the water container an inconvenience. Not because it’s difficult to get in and out of the unit, but because it doesn’t fit in my sink easily to refill. The design of the humidifier does not allow you to invert a refilling container over the opening. After experimenting with a few different containers I settled on a plastic one-gallon (well rinsed) milk jug. It struck a good balance between quantity, convenience, and ease of pouring. I can get all but two cups poured in one refill.
Despite using tap water (no water softener) the wicking filter still lasted for a month before I noticed a decrease in the evaporation efficiency. The tower is large and bulky to clean. I don’t clean it as recommended. I do throw a couple of ounces of white vinegar in the water every week to make the internal environment less mold and bacteria friendly. White vinegar is less harsh than bleach.
So far. I’m pleased. All it needs to do now is last a few years and I’ll be euphoric!

Great unit. Better than previous model we had about 5 yrs ago. Easier to fill & maintains desired hum level.

I am very happy with this humidifier.
I previously purchased 2 ultra sonic type humidifiers and quickly found that type requires the use of distilled water. Using tap water in an ultrasonic humidifier (or any other that isn’t the evaporative type) left a coating of white dust in the rooms in which each unit was placed – a problem that is worsened if the tap water used is particularly hard, as is the case with mine. Even with the use of filtered tap water and expensive additives, the ultrasonic units still left my apartment looking like it was Christmas year-round with a constant blanket of snow everywhere – and I do mean EVERYWHERE. And at a cost of approximately $1.50 per gallon, the use of distilled water required by the ultrasonic units made them very expensive to run (2 units using 3 gallons a week = total of 6 gallons a week x 24 weeks x $1.50 per gallon = $216).
Realizing all this, after the fact unfortunately, I finally decided to educated myself about the various types of humidifiers, of which there are basically three types: ultrasonic (a/k/a cool mist), warm mist, and finally, evaporative – the category under which the subject of this review falls.
In my opinion the evaporative type is the best for those who plan on using tap water – and especially if that tap water is hard (high in minerals). Evaporative humidifiers utilize a replaceable wicking filter that draws the water up from the reservoir in the base . Then air, with assistance from the powerful 3 speed fan, is blown through the dampened filter and into the room. The thing about evaporative humidifiers that makes them so user-friendly is that the filter traps all the minerals that are present in tap water, the very same minerals that are the cause of the dreaded aforementioned ubiquitous white dust that the ultrasonic and warm mist types emit into the air. In my opinion the use of an evaporative type humidifier represents a big win for the user since this unit eliminates the inconvenience, hassle, added cost and plastic waste associated with the use of distilled water as required by the other non-evaporative types of humidifiers. Even when factoring in the cost of the aforementioned replaceable wicking filters, evaporative humidifiers still come out way ahead as the filters are a far cry cheaper when compared to the amount one would be spending on distilled water. And for the record, even with my very-hard tap water, each of these evaporative units uses approximately 1 filter a month – and at a cost of approximately $3 each…well, you do the math. The cost savings aside, the saving of time and energy lugging gallons of distilled water from the supermarket makes the evaporative style humidifier the smarter choice – and all with no unnecessary plastic waste from empty containers either.
Since owning this unit I no longer have the white dust problem. That being said, there are a few caveats with this unit but they are minor in my opinion: first, you will need to rotate the filter approximately every 2 weeks and change it approximately every 4 – with each process taking no longer than 30 seconds per unit (literally). Thanks to the clever design, rotating and or changing the filter for this particular humidifier is a simple, quick and easy affair. Also, I would suggest using an additive for the water which prevents the buildup of bacteria, mold and scale – something you’d want/have to do with any humidifier. Warning: all additives are NOT created equal! Using the correct additive for your type of humidifier is crucial. Make sure the additive you buy clearly states somewhere on its label that it is suitable for evaporative humidifiers. Using an additive (which, again, is recommended for any of the 3 types of humidifiers) will not only keep the unit cleaner longer but it also elongates the life of the filter. I’ve had my unit running pretty nuch non-stop for over a month now and all I’ve had to do was rotate the filter once every 2 weeks and change the filter every four. And there’s even a handy “check filter” light that reminds you to do so every so often. The additives come in either liquid form, which in my opinion is less convenient, or as a solid, drop-in type which lasts approximately 30 days. I use the latter style which comes as pellets encased in a little blue plastic fish that floats in the water tank (a visual pleasantry, if you like that sort of thing).
EDIT: Since the time I originally wrote this review I have changed the type of additive that I use to treat the water. Gone are the cute little fish with the pellets inside of them that I mentioned above. They seemed like an easy, no-fuss solution and they would have been…had they worked…but they didn’t. Now I’m using Best air COMBO liquid treatment and couldn’t be happier. Two small capfuls for every gallon of water. Easy to measure and it works well. NOTE: Best air sells a few products that seem to look alike but aren’t. As I mentioned I use their COMBO treatment which serves two purposes; a bacteriostat and an extra ingredient which helps prevent lime and scale buildup as well (the latter is especially crucial if you have hard water as I do). END OF EDIT
Other features about this unit that I like are that it has a removable water tank with a built-in handle and wide opening at its top, both of which make it easy to fill, meaning that it can be filled easily at the sink or in the bathtub (the tank is just the right height to allow it to easily fit under the water spout in my bathtub). The design of the body/housing of the unit is also simple enough that it allows for quick disassembly and reassembly which, in turn, makes it fairly easy and quick to clean. There is also an on/off timer, a digital display that includes a digital readout for the built-in humidistat (which allows you to ‘set it and forget it’) that also displays the current humidity level in the room (and from what I can tell it’s pretty accurate). And finally, it also has a strong 3-speed fan motor that is relatively quiet on the low and medium settings but a bit louder, but not intrusively so, when set to high. If using this in a bedroom it will create a “white” noise that some find soothing (like me) but which others may find less so. Either way, this unit is not at all what I’d consider loud, even on the highest setting.
I have 3 elderly clients for whom I’ve recommended this unit and they, like me, couldn’t be happier. Easy to use – easy to fill, easy to maintain. So, ask yourself this… What’s not to like?
I highly recommend this product and hope that this review was helpful.

We have some very dry and cold winters and I bought this unit to supplement a smaller room humidifier that I have. This unit was amazing!! The amount of water it disperses into my home is so much more than I anticipated and much more than my smaller room size humidifier. Because there is a filter, there is no white dust that forms with the other vaporizer style. I hate that! I have to dust every day with those. These do a super job, are very easy to fill, and push a large amount of humidity into the house. It has an automatic sensor that adjusts as you reach your desired humidity level. It has 3 fan settings but even the highest setting is fairly quiet. I would definitely purchase this again. The only negative is that you have to turn the filter with every fill (at least if you want to keep the filter from becoming hard with minerals and thus less efficient). That means you have to keep the unit in a tray or have a plastic mat underneath it because when you pull the filter out to turn it upside down, a few drops of water seem to always drip onto the floor.

I am having less headaches since I purchase this humidifier….It is easy to clean and is not noisy when I am running it on low. I like the automatic shut off when it reaches the desired humidity level. I only gave it four stars because I am not sure if the hygrometer on the machine gives out the actual accurate humidity. I purchase separate ones (as recommended) but returned them as they were too hard to calibrate using the salt test. I just set the machine on what I feel to be comfortable in the room and I have no issues. I intend to use it for winter months only. Sturdy machine and sleek looking. Does not take up a lot of space on my floor, shuts off when it is supposed to.
