LOVE IT
,PostedDecember 21, 2010
I keep it running all day and only need to refill once a day. It can be a little bit of a pain to clean the heat element but that depends on your water. My parents have an identical one and have no problem what so ever. My house seems to have more calcium in the water so I have a higher build up. This is the easiest humidifier to clean. I can get everywhere necessary without having to unscrew items like other units I have bought and returned! My parents have had theirs for over a year and I've had mine for a few months with no issues! Would love to order another for my room as the one I have is in my daughters (however, hd is out of stock).
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 3 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Overall rating
Better than most
,PostedDecember 11, 2010
I have used it every night for 2 months. It holds 1 1/2 gallon of water, and puts it out in about 6 hours. It has a well-planned water base that keeps the mineral buildup from sitting directly on the metal heater, keeping it from building up so rapidly. The downside is the water container. You have to fill it from the bottom, not the top, and the screw on cap has a lousy o-ring that leaks unless he-man tightens it. This humidifier turns off when it runs out of water, and has not burned out like some of the smaller models I have seen happen in the reviews.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 4 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier

Leaked and then died
,PostedDecember 10, 2010
Unit leaked from the cap, which was very difficult to screw on. Steam would collect and run down the front of the unit. Turned it on one day, heard a pop, and then nothing. The heating component died on me. Have had much better luck with other brands. The only plus with this unit was it's incredibly easy to clean. Can reach into the tank and every area of the unit is very accessible to clean.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great when it works

The first time you plug this in, you'll think its awesome...then reality sets in.
I've owned 3 of these. (kept returning them) They are garbage. There is better and cheaper out there.
The problem is 1) the constant cleaning and 2) eventually, even after you clean it, it won't come on.
You will be lucky to get one season out of this - 3 months. Don't waste your money on this.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Review 6 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Overall rating
Does a Good Job
,PostedMarch 8, 2010
The unit can really put some moisture into the air. Since it is a warm humidifier there is no moisture on the floor when it runs. The tank holds about 1.5gal which at full power and continuously running it lasts about 10hrs.
The RH can be set although the local humidity level is higher than a room away so it will shut off early of course.
Initially, the unit had water leaking on the table top around the front piece. I removed the vent at the top which helped. Then I removed the front piece and settled the volcano piece. No more leaking water.
I use water from a reverse osmosis filtering system to prevent mineral build up.
Yes, I recommend this product.

One Great Humidifier
,PostedFebruary 2, 2010
This is my first real humidifier. I considered cold mist and warm mist and figured since I only need it in Winter, I'd get the warm mist and not deal with filters.
This one works great, and puts out a lot of steam. I keep it on during the cold days when the central heat is running to counter the drying effects. It easily keeps the humidity level where I set it, usually 45%-50%. on the Medium setting. I haven't needed the High setting yet. Once the setpoint is reached, I turn it down to Low and let it run the remainder of the time. I haven't clocked it, but on Low it will run for a long time before filling is required.
There is some gurgling when it's starting & running, but after a few times you get used to it. Our humidifier is used in the den and neither of us finds the noise objectionable while reading or watching TV.
The tank is very easy to remove, and the bottom (fill) hole is large enough to allow you to insert your hand into the tank to wipe it during cleaning. The tank carrying handle does stick up some, but mine happens to fit just inside the kitchen sink drain and allows the tank to rest flat while filling from the faucet. No leaks, and I just "snug" the cap on the tank. I'd seen issues where it was over-tightened and either leaked or was hard to remove. Doesn't take much force to get a good seal.
Cleaning is simple and easy. Just let it cool, disassemble, rinse, and wipe the parts clean. Haven't had any issues with scaling, but we have soft water here.
The only gotcha is the instruction manual could be better. But the device is pretty simple so you can figure it out. One note: the complex-looking mineral pads do just lay flat on the burner. I had this confirmed by the Honeywell support people. I still haven't figured out why they have these intricate locking folds rather than just a flat pad, but maybe it fits other models requiring a sphere shaped pad.

Fantabulous Humidifier
,PostedJanuary 25, 2010

from Augusta, GA
The humidy sensor is fairly accurate and the ability to set an on/off threshold I find very useful. I pray that the manufacturer continues this product or something similar.
The only reason I didn't give this item 5 stars is that it didn't have a remote control. (I actually use to have one that did!!)
I own 5 of these and use them in several different rooms.
Without them my wife's nosebleed from being so dry in the winter were disturbing until we purchased these babies. I swear by them!!!

Review 9 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Overall rating
So glad I ignored the bad reviews
,PostedJanuary 23, 2010
I've had the humidifier for over a week and it has been FLAWLESS. The humidy gauge is accurate and there is no leaking whatsoever. As far as noise, it sounds like a teapot beginning to boil...soothing sound if you ask me. I mean, it is a WARM moist humidifier and that is produced by boiling the water. I couldn't be happier with it.
The only negative I can mention is the claim that the water would last 24 hrs - January in the Northeast is very dry and I would only get about 12-15 hrs out of it. The only solution would be an outlandishly large tank...who would want that?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 13 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Overall rating
Works Great-I love it
,PostedJanuary 23, 2010
I have tried other humidifiers, both cold mist and steam, and this one is the best. The cold mist ones I've used leave a puddle b/c the mist doesn't integrate itself into the air. The other cheaper steam one I tried clogged itself too fast and didn't put out as much steam as this one.
This one works great--so great, in fact, that if you leave it on long enough on the highest setting, the room gets damp within a day or less; the sheets got a dampness to them. Of course, the solution is just not to turn it on so high. On the highest setting, the tank gets empty after about 7 hours.
The tank is very easy to remove, carry, and fill. You just grab the handle, and lift it up using only one hand. The unit itself is also easy to carry. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with leaking (so far).
Yes, I recommend this product.

from Massillon, Oh
I bought this last year and worked fine for 3 months. Had to send it in to get it repaired. Came back - worked good - for 3 weeks. Now the system will not turn on.
I will not buy Honeywell again. I agree with others about excessive cleaning but I could live with that if it worked. Not happy.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great but Doesn't Last Long
,PostedJanuary 9, 2010
I use this humidifier for my orchid rooms. I have owned 6 or 7 of them over 4 years. The element seems to burn out on these systems very quickly. My most recent one hasn't even lasted 4 months and has stopped working. Unfortunately this is one of the few warm humidifiers with humidity control settings as a percentage like 50%. Buy it for specialty activities but be prepared to have them last for a short time.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent Produt
,PostedJanuary 9, 2010
I have read several reviews that have lampooned this product. I have used this unit for 2 winters and I have had no problems of any kind. I have no problems with the water tank cap and have had no leaks with the unit. The cap is tighter when the tank is removed for refilling, but I think this is due to the heat the tank adsorbs when the water level gets low. This is an excellent product and performs as advertised.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Product

This is our second season of heavy use with this model, and it continues to perform like a champ. I do agree with 2 small issues listed above: the cap can be difficult to remove if over-tightened, and you cannot rest it in the sink or tub during filling. Aside from that, it is one of the best humidifiers I have owned. Toss the old filter model, this is a better solution.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 18 for QuickSteam Warm Moisture Humidifier

Requires Frequent Cleanings
,PostedFebruary 11, 2009
This recent incarnation of Honeywell's humidifier isn't as good as their previous one, the HMW-2030, which I've had for 4 years. This one steams pretty quick but requires frequent cleaning, like every two weeks, to remove the mineral deposits on the heating plate. In my 4 years of ownership with the HMW-2030, I've only cleaned it 4 times. Yeah, there's mineral buildup on the heating element but it still will work without a hitch. The other bad thing with this new model is the design of the water tank. The top is not flat like the old model. When you set it upside down in the sink, it tilts and isn't as stable. I didn't have any issues with the cap. However, I *initially* had leakage from the front and side grills, too. What you have to do is tighten the tube that goes from the heating element to the mist output. For some reason, they didn't assemble that at the factory and it's not in the directions. Once, I locked that tube in place, the leakage issue went away.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Leaking
,PostedJanuary 29, 2009
This humidifier is leaking water terribly. Water from the front grill and water from the side grills. I searched for a long time trying to find the right warm mist humidifier and now I'm regreting my purchase. I've called Honeywell and they are sending me a new cap. They are currently out of the caps for 30 days, but will ship one as soon as they come in. So that should tell me something. I like the timer, but I just wish you could put it on continious and not have to reset the hours.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have read the other reviews and I can't say I have had the same problems as other folks. I have had this humidifier for over a month now. I love how quiet it is and I only have to refill it about every 3 days. It is definitely a plus in my book.
