Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier For Bedroom Medium Rooms 1 1 Gallon Invisible Moisture Humidifier for Baby Kids Quiet

Before this, we used an ultrasonic humidifier, which was certainly quieter but didn’t perform as well as this one, so it was a great upgrade for us. Noise: at its second speed, it sounds like an average house AC and does not interrupt sleep. Humidity: we have a 12×11 room, and it humidifies the space very effectively—you can feel the difference without needing a humidity meter. Ease of use: as simple as it gets. Cleaning: much easier than our ultrasonic humidifiers, which had many small spaces that were hard to clean. Cleaning this unit is very simple, though you should remember to flip the filter every night and replace it every month or two. Overall, it’s better than other humidifiers we’ve tried, and I definitely recommend it for small to medium rooms. Read more

This humidifier replaced an old Honeywell humidifier that I had for years. I wasn't sure I would like the size since it is smaller than the previous one, but I really like it. It's convenient to fill the water reservoir, easy to clean and quiet. I keep it on the low setting and let it run all day long since we live in a dry climate. Read more

Works well in a small bedroom. Noise lever on low is acceptable for sleeping. Like the evaporator type since it doesn't spew chemicals into the air. Using it with tap water and haven't had any mineral depost build up yet. Seems well made. Easy to fill and clean. Read more

This appliance works soundlessly and without lighting up the bedroom. Lowest setting. Puts out great humidity. Really recommend this! Read more

Quiet, Effective. Wish it had a larger tank as it empties in about 18 hours. But that means it is putting moisture in the air. Read more

Long story, but the takeaway is that I really like this humidifier. I had a white one of these that someone gave me for free. I had no idea what a great thing they'd given me. I liked how it worked, but didn't like that it had a "filter" (really, more of a sponge) and I didn't like how huge it was. So I gave it away and bought a newer-sleeker looking humidifier for myself. My new replacement humidifier was the ultrasonic type (ultrasonic are the other main type of humidifier: they vibrate imperceptibly and the vibrations send a fog of aerosols into the air, which you can see and is pretty). It was compact, it was all black with no blue/white/whatever to make it stand out. I loved it. I loved it for about three months until it broke. The handle came off while I was carrying the water container back from the sink. Water everywhere, gruesome scene. So, I bought another humidifier (my third). Again, it was the ultrasonic type (because those tend to be the cute, compact, black ones). . . and again it broke after a few months. Not so dramatically this time, just quietly started leaking one day (didn't leak when I first refilled it, no. It waited until I'd left the room to begin leaking on an antique table. Oops). So, $150 later, I swore that I would never buy another humidifier again because the whole industry is garbage and all their products will betray you after the return period closes. Bummer. I lived in dry, cracking squalor for half a year before I finally broke down and went looking to buy another humidifier. Low and behold, my old trusty humidifier was back, in black (or nearly so -- the water bin is a blue stripe on the side). Yes, it's large. Yes, it has a filter that you have to replace (less often if you do it right). Yes, you can't see a pretty fog of water coming out of it to prove it's working. But I love it. It's simple, has less moving parts, and doesn't break. My parents have been using one of their own for a year and it's done great by them. Tips: - If there is water in the bottom tray (touching the "filter"--which is actually serving more as a sponge), keep the fan blowing. Don't let the filter sit in water. This will generally prevent the filter from getting moldy, so you won't have to replace it very often. - If there is no water in the bottom of the tray (the water has run out) -- stop the fan. Otherwise the fan heats the filter so much that the filter begins melting. Especially if the fan is on the highest level (I haven't tested, but I think maybe it doesn't get so hot at the lowest level). - This does get a little tough, to hit the sweet spot. It means when I leave the house, I either make sure the water is filled all the way and the fan on or that the water is gone from the bottom tray and the fan is off. - Open it up occasionally and look at the filter. You'll notice that it does yellow a little from when it gets too hot from the fan. I think this is OK. If you check it semi-regularly, you'll be able to see this and know the difference between this and any ick that would require you to replace the filter. - If you use an ultrasonic humidifier, you have to be careful about what surface you put it on because that surface gets a little wet. This humidifier is a mist humidifier, so the effect is slower but its physical reach is larger. So, that means that you can put the humidifier on any surface and it won't get that surface wet. - I use tap water. Read more

Great humidifier - works well. I don't wake up with a dry throat/coughing anymore. Only problem is the filters have to be replaced monthly during the winter in our home and the replacement filters are expensive. One nice convenience is that the water tank lasts 2.5-3 nights so I don't have to worry about filling it every night (or multiple times a night) as with some other humidifiers. Level three is too loud for me to sleep with, but I can usually keep it at level three before bed and then lower it to one right before bed through the night. Read more
