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 Leaky and dangerous   November 17, 2008

I had to toss it because more water would dribble out of the base than would end up in the air, and I had to either choose between soaking wet floors or electrocution if I put the humidifier in a container to keep the liquid off the carpet. Based on the other reviews I guess I just had bad luck, but with other humidifiers I've owned before this I've never had such a problem.

Dead in 3, seems to be the norm for this model. Mine just up and quit, even after following all the proper cleaning procedures.At least i am getting a replacement at no charge[not from KAZ..]After reading these reviews i suspect it also might last 3 wks!! I would NOT recommend this product.

Humidifier works well. For soft water users there's very little cleaning required. Basically every few weeks I empty the water in the tray, rinse it and then fill it back up again. Mineral Absorption Pad is not required with soft water as there is no scale or buildup what so ever.

The only improvement I can see is a larger water tank. Need to add water every day if set to high humidity.



3 out of 5 stars FRAGILE TANK, otherwise good humidifier   October 22, 2008

This humidifier worked great for the 2007-2008 winter season, and then the tank fell over in the sink while I was filling it up and cracked. "No problem, I'll just call the company for a replacement tank," I thought. Except that there does not appear to be replacments to be had. I've been trying since last spring to get it replaced and keep getting the same response, "We hope to get additional stock in 30-60 days," every month. After much searching I can't find replacements ANYWHERE.
Looks like I have to spend money for a whole new humidifier and will have to be a different manufacturer than Honeywell since I don't want to go through this nonsence again. Too bad.

I got this to help keep our house humid during the winter months, when the heater and wood stove make it like a desert. It was easy to assemble and figure out, it has a good range of settings for various timed output. You do have to clean it often- I'd say every other week, but that is not bad considering water quality around here. It shuts itself off when it gets too dirty. Order an extra set of pads and you'll be good for the season! Good price, I like it!
