Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I took a chance on this product given the bad reviews posted by other users. originally my intention was to buy an above average Ultrasonic humidifier that would last us for years. So, i set aside at least $150 for this project. my biggest problem with any humidifier has been refilling the unit daily. most of humidifiers have a very inconvenient way of refilling. you must remove the tank, turn it upside down, open the lid, refill it with couple gallons then replace it back on the base after turning it back upright. i end up spilling a significant amount of water on the floor. it is a messy job which discourages me from filling the tank and hence using the humidifier on a daily basis.
this time i made it a point to get a humidifier with a convenient refill method. it should be as simple as pouring water right in to the tank without having to remove it from the base or turning it upside down. unfortunately most of the well known or high ended brands have the same inconvenient refill. then i stumbled upon this Honeywell EasyCare Ultrasonic Humidifier. just 50 bucks. i read its reviews and found that most people were complained of 'noise' and poor durability. then i watched this video uploaded by someone on amazon.com and i fell in love with this product. refilling is as convenient as i had desired. they say it is like 'watering a plant'. honeywell is a well known brand so i was not too worried about the durability. but if you bought your item from an unauthorized dealer chances are that you were sold a damaged or refurbished unit.
i went straight in to the walmart store and picked up a brand new unit for $52. it has been running since few weeks now without any issues. you can hear its motor running but the noise is no more than that of a ceiling fan. and i am sure most of us are used to this level of sound at night (unless you are someone who gets irritated by a ticking watch). i found a very neat way of reducing its sound further, almost to Imperceptible level. the motor is located at the bottom of the unit so if you place it on a table top chances are that the sound will resonate. if you have a carpet floor put it there and the carpet will absorb most of its humming sound. otherwise place a sheet of cloth folded on itself several times between the bottom of the unit and the table. you can also use a thin cushion as long as it can hold the unit parallel to the ground.
Performance: the cold vapors are good enough to fog your window panes. before buying this unit i used to wake up every morning with a bad dry mouth but with this running at the lowest level i could feel the difference.
i have been watching this unit closely since i bought it. so far i am totally pleased with it and i have already placed an order for second one for my vacation home. The only thing that you should know about this unit is that there is no auto-shut off option so if water runs out it could run forever. But i do not think it poses any major threat to the unit and it does not (unlike hot mist humidifiers) consume too much of electricity. So, i am not going to lessen the stars that i gave to this product at least for one good reason, hey, we are talking about an ultrasonic Honeywell humidifier for just 50 bucks. Moreover, since the refilling is so convenient most of you will refill it every night and let it run for the whole night and shut it off in the morning as a routine, so you will never feel the need for an auto-shut off option.
