Humidifier Reviews

Since I have received my warm mist humidifier I have been more than satisfied with the product. As an avid gardner, I have had many other humidifiers to keep my indoor plants moist in the dry winter This is by far the best that I have ever owned!! Some of the most pleasing features include a completely silent operation. It makes NO noise! It also has no filters. So there is no more cost involved after purchasing. But don't worry about bacteria, because the water gets so hot inside the heating chamber, the mist is completely sterile when it floats out of the top. Cleaning is a sin-ch. You don't have to buy expensive cleaning products, just have some regular vinegar on hand and you are ready to go. The only thing I could say in a negative sense; is if you live in a place where you have allot of mineral deposit in your water you will have to clean your humidifier on a regular basis, and probably a little more frequently than if you have filtered city water. This is a small task in exchange for a wonderful product! I would recommend this humidifier to any one interested in purchasing one; no matter what aspect it is being used for!

Even on the low or medium settings this humidifier sounds like there is a jet engine in my living room.

This humidifier definitely worked well, but it's so poorly designed and built that the plastic panels rattle at any fan speed. I bought two of these and both had the exact same problems with rattling panels. Both were subsequently returned. Which is a shame, because when it doesn't rattle, it performs admirably. The tanks are easy to fill if you unscrew the caps (instead of using their weird twist-and-fill valves). The remote is a nice feature to help ensure your get desired humidity in an certain area (although by no means a necessity). But for the price, this thing is really a piece of junk.

First of all, the complaints--there were only 3 thumbscrews, instead of 4, holding the filter unit to the bottom tank, and a screwcap on one of the tanks was backwards, and needed to be switched around. Also, the remote is supposed to work in the same room, but it didn't when it was placed on a bookcase. I moved it to another part of the room, and set it upright, and it has worked like a charm. The filter indicator is a bit flaky--sometimes it says the filter needs changing, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't figured that one out yet, though I did buy extra humidifer wicks.

And the praise--once I figured out that the screwcap was backwards, and that the remote humidistat prefers to be upright (or not on a bookcase), it has worked like a charm! It will cycle on and off as needed. The high fan setting is a bit loud, but the medium and low are fine. It is set up in our living room, so the noise doesn't bother us while sleeping. It has enough output to pleasantly humidify our house (1300 sq. ft. main level). My dogs can now roll around on the carpet and not get shocked. I really like the feature of the intake air filters, so I don't have to run an air cleaner in addition to the humidifier. The unit has been running a month now, and I haven't had to change the filter. I do add an anti-microbial to the water tanks when I fill them up.

I bought two humidifiers, the 3 gallon, and the 2.5 gallon, and within a month, both of them quit, the motors burned up. Upon notifying Hunter, I was sent two replacements immediately. One of them is already making a loud noise, and I expect the other to quit anytime. I would spend a little more money and buy a better humidifier because each time you send it back, you have to pay shipping which isn't cheap.

Mine lasted about 6 months. Put out about 5 gallons/day in winter. Loud, loud, loud, but beared it since I had already paid for it. I had to snap together the water pump assembly (a fan blade in a housing that pushed the water though a tube) on many occasions. Could not truly fix it since it is made completely of cheap plastic. In the end, the motor burned up and left the house smelling like burnt varnish for 2 days.

I've had mine for 3 months. Works fine and does a good job. On low speed it's quiet enough, although I have it in the hallway to humidify a 3 bedroom area. Love the fact that I don't have to replace the wicks ($$$ saver). That's what made me buy this in spite of the other noise complaints I'd seen.

Very easy to fill the tank and the tank is sturdy and easy to carry. No problems with water leakage. Sometimes the gurgling sound as water is being drained is a little annoying, but not overly so.

Overall, I'm satisfied.
