Amazon.com Review
For arid climates or the dry cold days of winter, running a steam humidifier indoors often protects the inhabitants' skin from chapping or itching, allows stressed lungs to breathe with comfort, and infuses moisture into the room to the benefit wooden furniture, upholstery, and houseplants to prevent them from becoming brittle or parched. Honeywell created their Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier for all of these purposes and more, enhancing a room's humidity in record speed.

Best suited for rooms up to 1400 square feet in size, the humidifier's heater is crafted in stainless steel for quick heat production and trouble-free cleaning. The compact humidifier outputs 4 gallons of warm steam for each full tank of water. This humidifier offers users a timer function for running the unit for preset periods, ranging from an hour to the maximum 18-hour setting. Digital controls and the easy-to-read LCD screen enable users to alter or monitor current preference settings. A medicine cup allows users to run the humidifier as a vaporizer for stuffed noses, sore throats and other respiratory illnesses. An automatic shutdown feature reduces safety hazards. Humidifier water should be changed frequently and the tank washed well each week to prevent bacteria, mold, and other impurities from developing, though the heating process should kill many of these unhealthy particles. As with any electrical home device, read all manufacturer guidelines and instructions prior to use. This humidifier measures 15.55 by 14.57 by 10.24 inches and weighs 6 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS SERIOUSLY   January 7, 2009
I bought this unit and used it for a week and MUST return. It is noisy and it leaked all over my furniture and damage my night stand. My wife is really piss at me now. I should listen to the reviews here about the leaking. Buy it if you want to damage your carpet or furniture. Trust me and you will thanks me later.


4 out of 5 stars Humidifier   January 7, 2009
Price was right; easy to fill and operate; shows the current humidity in your house; easy to clean;

Works well, we fill it twice a day while running on the low setting; when it runs out of water, the heater shuts down automatically. You know when it's time to clean when you take the water reservoir off and you see the remaining water in the basin is starting to turn yellow. It's easy to clean with a brush and some cleaning solution. Noise is not an issue. We put it on the landing upstairs outside the 3 bedrooms. I hear it at night but it doesn't bother me, its just the boiling sound and occasionally the glub, glub, glub of the water going from the reservoir into the basin.



3 out of 5 stars warms and humidifies, water leaks all over   January 6, 2009
I recently purchased and returned this product. It warms the room up nicely and adds noticeable moisture to the dry air in our office. The main problem I ran into is that with all the warm mist, the inside of the unit collects lots of condensation that in turn drips down and drips out of the unit onto the counter. It's quite a bit of water that needs to constantly be cleaned up to point that it isn't convenient in the work environment. It didn't appear that the actual water reservoir was leaking but it was hard to tell. Another issue that I has was poor design or craftsmanship on the buttons, low quality production I guess.

It went through about 1 1/2 gallons of water set at about 55% humidity when running for an 8 hour day. I didn't have it long enough to have to clean it, but the product was easy to assemble, fill up and doesn't have many extra costs (I bought distilled water and replacement filters). I would have really liked it if it didn't have so much water coming out of it all the time.



1 out of 5 stars Would not any Honeywell products   January 4, 2009

I've had the product now for 2 years. Although a tad noisy, it worked well during that time. Until recently when I noticed the plastic cap on the water container had seemingly melted a bit. The quality seems poor and I would probably avoid Honeywell as a product in general for all future purchases.


4 out of 5 stars Nice product..I would recommend   December 29, 2008
I have been using this for last 6 months. It works good. I am not using tap water. I change the deminaralization pad every month. I clean it with vinegar every month. If I do not change pad/clean, the humidifier starts leaking. I felt once in a month is perfectly ok.
