 "Humidifier ..." | 2007-12-17 |
| - Reviewed By jynett |
| I bought this item because of the capacity of the water that it holds. We use a wood stove and need to get moisture into the house. I thought that 4 gallons would last at least 12 hours, but it does not. The humidifier is a bit noisy, but it seems to work well. I just wish that the water would last a bit longer. |

| It works as advertised. It is a bit in loud end to keep in the room at night. I would suggest to place it somewhere in the outside of the room, if you are a light sleeper. It is very dependable however, as it has been working for over 2 years now. I think all humidifiers are laud by nature. Filters are reasonably priced at Amazon. And, you must change the filter once in while to avoid molding of course. After all, this device filters the surrounding air while humidifying it and captures a lot of dirt and airborne bacterias. |

 "HCM645 humidifier does the job" | 2007-04-04 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3LV645469YZ1U |
I bought one from Meijer and went back for another in late winter and they did not have anymore. I found the 2nd one on Amazon at clearance price of 41.00
I like the features of the 645 with various humidity and speed settings. It is very quite on low setting and the upper setting are like white noise, not a nuisance.
I believe the 645 is replaced by 650. |

 "Tank cannot hold up to daily use" | 2007-02-19 |

We purchased two of these for our home and have since wished that we had not. The unit, while new, worked almost flawlessly, reasonably quietly, and, we thought, did a good job. The problems came about while we lived with it over the next couple of weeks. It started, simply enough, with the need to occasionally take the top portion apart to realign all of the plastic bits. We found this out after one refill when the machine wouldn't come back on. It seems that if the top white portion (not the tank) is nudged out of place, sensors will not allow it to come back on until everything is properly lined up. Unfortunately, this happened quiet often as you place the 4 gallon tank directly against that part of the machine. This problem we learned to live with.
The second, and deal breaker problem, is overly apparent when refilling the tanks. The tanks are made of a clear, very fragile plastic that, if touched on the side while full, crack. The first crack on one unit appeared from some unknown bump and was found hours later with a pool of water around it. Now we do not have children, and our dog is about as mellow as dogs come, so we aren't sure how it appeared. So, ok, on crack -- we superglued the crack to reinforce it, it held, and we were generally pleased. Then another, on another machine, on a different floor, appeared. Hmmm, more superglue. From there we know what happened. When we attempted to refill the original tank (first superglue job) about a week later, after it had held through a number of refillings, the bottom was bumped against the sink when full. This caused the superglued crack to spread very quickly and a chunk of the sidewall broke loose. The second tank saw the same fate, although it happened as we were placing it, the same way we had always done, back into machine.
Moral of the story: This is a nice machine with a poor tank that cannot be replaced from the manufacture and that, once cracked, renders the whole humidifier soon-to-be useless. In retrospect, we should have noticed the flaw and immediately returned both of the humidifiers after the first tank cracked. I hope that my warning helps someone else steer clear of this model. |

| It really is quieter than all other units I've had, eg., Hunter, Holmes, other Honeywells, and it puts out moisture faster than the others as well. It has a different design from cheaper models and seams to be made of a better grade of plastic. Most importantly, it does a reasonable job of keeping a 1200 SF apartment comfortable. After Super Saver shipping (2 days for me), I'm plenty satisfied with this guy. |

 "Great Product - Not like others have said" | 2006-09-25 |

| I read the reviews about how noisy these were, but went ahead and bought two of them because I also read that they work well. I plugged them in and they both aren't that noisy. Of course there is a little noise, but that's to be expected. It's a humidifier with a fan blowing. Out of all the humidifiers I've used this is the most quiet. The 4 gallon tank is great, and the digital controls make it super easy to set. We put one in the nursery and one in our master bedroom. The two have no problem keeping the entire upstairs comfy. They run when needed and shut off when the desired humidity is reached. It really is a great product. I have had the two of them for about a month, so I can't speak on dependability, but the design and function is great, and it's NOT too loud! |

 "Unit stopped working; water tank not stable" | 2006-08-10 |
| - Reviewed By cseda@insight-consulting.com |
| Our first problem with this humidifier occurred when I set the water tank on the counter to remove the valve for filling. Since the top surface of the tank is not flat, the water tank does not sit evenly on a surface, so it fell and cracked. The crack was mostly at the top of the tank, so it was still usable if it wasn't filled all the way. But then, about a couple of weeks later, the whole thing stopped working (after only about 3-4 months of use). The warranty was useless, because I would have had to pay to ship it for servicing, plus include a "processing/shipping" fee of about $10, plus the tank would still be cracked and probably need replacing, too. So we just threw the whole thing out. Don't waste your money on this product. |

| It's loud, like being in a cheap hotel, we can't sleep with it on at night. Leaky, the tank is always leaking, when we fill it up. Moldy, the filter gets mold 1-2 weeks after we put a new one in. It is now in the trash. Save your money buy something else. |

| Overall, I like the product, but because it's being used in our bedroom (at night), I was hoping it was as quiet as the product description said it was. I've heard nosier (I had one), but this isn't quite what I was looking for. Maybe none are? |
