Honeywell HCM-6012i QuietCare 11-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology

It really help

I live in a desert climate. I suffer allergy from spring until the first snow, so I need not only a humidifier and also an air washer too. Last year I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy an air cleaner, but the sale person recommend me to buy a humidifier with air wash function. I bought a small Venta and very happy with it. It does what it says to clean the air and humidify. The only draw back is the price. The small unit is only good for our master bedroom. It does help us to sleep comfortable. By spring I really want one to use in the family room and kitchen area, but $400 Venta I can't afford.

I found Honeywell one by searching the Amazon and read the review and bought it right a way. It is big enough to work in the family room and kitchen area.

I set the humidity at 47 and let it runs constantly. I need to refill both water bottles every night. I don't feel the water bottle is so hard to refill like other people said. Also I use soft water, I don't have to worry the deposit but I do use Bacterio- Static since I use it for Venta too.

Since I have the unit for almost two weeks. The filter is good, no smell. I do empty base and rinse every other day. It does what it says to air wash. I find debris and dust etc. some time small flying bugs at the base.

I am very happy with this unit as good as Venta and cheaper but only thing of my complaint is even run at low is still to loud for me!

Love my new Honeywell Humidifier

I bought this item because of the name brand of the product and was very happy with the purchase. I've used this item for a couple of years now and the only problem that I had with it was a small rattle when the unit was running. A small piece of foam under the fan unit took care of the problem.

Good News, Bad News

First, the good news: It works well and is reasonably quiet for an evaporative humidifier. The humidistat is accurate.

The bad news:
The wick will become moldy and unless you remove the fan/control cover, you won't notice it. Furthermore, in an effort to give the unit a rounded style, the designers created water tanks that are clumsy to refill.

I recommend steamer-type humidifiers because they are quieter and don't become moldy. I can't use one in this case because it is in an aviary and my birds could be injured by steam.

Overall, a good humidifier that could be better.

Awesome humidifier; could be improved though.

This thing rocks as a humidifier. We keep our house at 50% humidity and it works great. However, No joke the first time we went to fill the water jug it slipped out of my wifes hand and fell in the sink and split the plastic of one of the jugs for water. This is something that I think should be improved. We ordered a new one for $20 and used some plastic epoxy to seal the old "new" one to use as a spare.

My only other complaint is that this works so well that I continually have to refill the darn thing. It seems wierd to complain that it works too well! I guess that if they were bigger that would be nice but they are already hefty so that is probably impractical.

We have not had any problems with it falling apart as it is four different pieces just sitting together. I guess if you aren't conscious of it you could push it wrongly and push it apart. Never happened to us.

WTF

One problem with this item. Does anyone else have this problem? Half the time, the unit shuts off after one tank is empty, rather than switching over to the second tank! Many mornings, I have woken up to find the humidifier off - with a whole other full tank sitting there doing nothing! I've done everything the manual told me to do. I even get down on the floor and check for air bubbles to make sure that each tank is positioned correctly every time I do a refill. This is my first double-tank humidifier, is this a common problem with other models? WTF!
