I am happy with this product. It is compact, inexpensive, easy to use, and good for a small to medium sized home.
Excellent for people with allergies, sinus congestion, and dry eyes or skin.
I haven't had any issues handling the water tank, as noted in another review. Also, as soon as the filled water tank is set into place, the water is allowed to drain into the filter housing where the filter can automatically suck up the water. Therefore it does not seem necessary to wet the filter beforehand. My item did not come with the manufacture's instructions so I am not sure if this is recommended.
I recommend placing the humidifier in the desired location before filling the water tank because water may seep out if held at an angle. I also recommend carrying from the base because the water tank and filter housing are on separate, removable sides.
The replacement filters cost about $10 each. |

| I have the original Duracraft DCM-200. This Honeywell is the exact replacement for it. I love it. I have electric heat from an 80's furnace that has a permanent filter I cannot replace so the air in here is bad. I have permanent post-nasal drip, my son is Croup sensitive and my DH is asthmatic. Warm Mist humidifiers aggravate sinus problems so *do not* use warm mist for sinus problems.Cool Mist are great for Sinus and preventing Croup but must use filters due to the nature of waterbourne mold in cool air technology. I use my humidifiers for a 160 sf and 145 sf rooms. I keep them on low each night, and use about half the tank. My filters last around six weeks because I do not use the pro-tech bulbs (they do not work). I use BestAir Water Treatment tablets, extra strength (the pink box.) I bleach treat the water tank plus vinegar clean the base every 2 1/2 months. Yes, cool mist humidifiers make noise (warm mist sterilize with the hot steam that comes out, are quiet) but this is the quietest one I've found.If the noise of a clothes dryer next to your bedroom bothers your sleep, then a cool mist will bug you too. I get my filters for 7 bucks each (I buy 6 per shipment). 2HT Bionaire Humidifier Water Treatment Tablets (12 Pack) |

Drawbacks:
1. The fan is loud, even on "low."
2. The filters get moldy in about a month. They cost $10 to replace. The cleaning cartridges are ineffective.
Positives:
1. Runs 18-24 hours on a tank of water.
My advice is to spend a few bucks more and get a warm air humidifier that doesn't use filters. |
Very poorly designed

Be warned, this is a very poorly designed product.
1) The handle for the tank is on the bottom. That means you need to set it down to fill it, or hold it by the side of the slippery plastic. I dropped my tank 2 days after purchasing the unit because of this. It shattered and I had to order another for $20.
2) The filter only works if it's wet. That means if you turn the unit off during the day, you need to soak the filter before turning the unit on again. What a pain.
I'm returning mine as soon as I can. |
