HoneywellDesigner Series Cool Mist Humidifier, White

We loved this humidifier so much that we bought another.We bought our first one last year.It worked so well in our bedroom that we decided to buy one for our living room.I like our bedroom quiet when I sleep and the PUR Honeywell is very quiet.Love the light in the front also.You xan see how much water is left.The light also can be either lowered or turned off.It is not only easy to fill but it is a breeze to clean.The capacity is perfect.We can leave the humidifier on all day without refilling.I have to say, this is the best humidifier we have bought.Thank you, Honeywell.

Really sharp appearance. Mist is lovely. Easy to clean. Operates nicely, easy assembly. Good controls of moisture level. I love the appearance of the light to check water level. Nice you can turn it on and off.

I'm so sad to say this wonderful little machine didn't work out for me! I knocked off a star because of the white dust/air quality issues with this type of unit.When I did my initial research, it was obvious that evaporative humidifiers are the way to go for safer air quality and also because it's impossible for them to over-saturate the air with humidity. However, they are bigger, louder, and you have to change the filters. ***UPDATE: I ended up with a STEAM humidifier, and I HIGHLY recommend going with steam! You don't have to constantly change filters, AND, the heat kills any bacteria in the water, so you don't have to constantly worry about keeping the machine pristine clean, although, you still want to do a vinegar rinse weekly to keep minerals from building up (I use reverse osmosis or water filtered through a ZERO water filter). This is the humifier I ended up with and love: https://www.amazon.com/Steamfast-SF-920-Humidifier-Filter-Free-Aromatherapy/dp/B07BZ9SSPZ/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=steam+humidifier&qid=1615763735&s=home-garden&sr=1-15I decided to give ultrasonic a chance first, and I just loved this one so much! It doesn't look *medicinal," it's quiet (other than a brook/water sound), and it's super easy to use and clean. Call me weird, but I even enjoyed the task of filling it up every day! Ha! It was also very easy to remove the water tight cap.EFFECTIVE? Definitely! It raised my humidity maybe 10-15% taking it from ~35 to ~50 (and not I've learned 50% is probably "too much" humidity). I had to run it on high to get the levels up and then run it as speeds of 2 or 3 to maintain it.TIPSWHITE DUST. Use distilled water. These types of machines will turn minerals in water into *white dust* which will coat your furniture. I used reverse osmosis water, so I was not expected to see this dusting. My water must have more minerals than I realized, as within a week of using the machine, suddenly, I noticed a light white coating all over my furniture. The day before, I had run the machine on high, and on speed 3 that evening.I have read that this white dust can be harmful to breathe. I don't want to take chances with it. I could get a ZERO water filter, but I decided to try an evaporative humidifier instead.CLEANING. It's super easy. And with these units, SUPER important, as everything in the water tank turns into tiny particles and goes out into your air. Just move the entire unit to a bathroom or kitchen counter. Measure out 2 cups of distilled vinegar, and let it soak in the unit for 20 minutes (instructions included). THOROUGHLY rinse--especially before using bleach, as the two mixed together are TOXIC. I recommend micro fiber towels for drying the unit. Instead of using bleach, my plan was to use Seventh Generation Disinfectant Spray.LEAKS. I had a clear, thin cutting board (from VitaMix) under mine, and I'm glad I did, as the first day I used it, there was some water build up around the machine. However, since I've since learned humidifiers can leak *all* of their content, a bucket might not be a bad idea! This cute one is wide and shallow->Behrens C17GS 4-1/4-Gallon Galvanized Steel Pail. ***UPDATE: Your cell phone will not work if in the same room as the steel pail! I ended up buying a plastic pail. I'll be using it for my new Honeywall Humidifier that's coming: Honeywell Top Fill Digital Humidistat Tower Humidifier, BlackCONDENSATION. If you have the speed up on 3 or 4, I'd have a fan on low. This worked for me in keeping the condensation build up from happening around the machine. You'll also want a hygrometer of course to keep track of the humidity levels. Anything above 60% can cause problems. Dr. Mercola has an article recommending not going over 45% in order to reduce the risk of mold and fungus build up.Overall, unless you're using distilled water and are diligently cleaning the unit every week, I recommend an evaporative humidifier instead.I hope this helps! Figuring out humidifiers can be a little overwhelming when you're new to it!

Works exactly as described. Good quality and value. A pleasure to have cool moist air blowing all day into a high altitude dry office.

The media could not be loaded. (I have this in white and black - they both operate the same way.). The humidifier does work. It is fairly quiet. You can turn the light off as needed. The level of humidity can be adjusted. There is no humidity gage on it so it is best to use an external one. (We have one on our weather 'station').DOWNSIDES:1. This cannot be set up on the floor. The flooring around it will become WET!2. It spews white dust everywhere. All surfaces are covered in white dust - my refrigerator, dishwasher, cabinets, furniture. The manufacturer says to use distilled water - I would be spending way too much on water. The reason for the white dust is that the humidifier is lifting the minerals, etc. out of the water into the air. Our air purifier goes crazy every time we turn the humidifier on.If it is going onto my furniture, what is it doing to my lungs? I cannot continue to clean up and breath the bad air after this devise on a daily basis.

Been using about 30 days now. Paid $63.99. Extremely simple to use, looks great. Mine is white. Other reviews complained about noise. Mine is whisper quiet and makes a very slight gurgle occasionally. I use tap water. I have no idea what the “white dust” is the others are talking about. Nothing but a soft mist shoots out. It sits on my dresser in my master bedroom, about 350 sq ft. I bought this one because it is for a bigger room. But that is an advantage. I set it on the very lowest setting and it runs non-stop for about 2.5 days. You can turn the light off, so zero light at night. When empty it shows a small red light. Simply pull the water container straight up and out by its very strong handle. No water comes out. Flip it upside down in the kitchen sink (need a tall spigot), twist open the wide fill plug, fill it up, close the plug, flip it over. No water spills out. Slide it straight back down into its base. I only use this in the Virginia winter. Humidity gets down to 20%. This brings it up to 40% and holds that steady. I think this unit is fantastic.

Moved to the desert and bought one of these to help reduce issues with a dry nose. Worked well, so bought another. There is a big difference in noise between the two units. The first one “glugs” every few minutes when the reservoir feeds the misting chamber, which isn’t particularly annoying, but the second one is much noisier, “dripping” constantly regardless of the set evaporation speed. I get the impression the “dripping” sound has to do with how violently the ultrasonic atomizer moves the water around in the chamber, but just a guess.A lot of the reviews I read before I bought this unit talked about the noise. I understand now after buying the second one.It’s a good humidifier that works well, especially with distilled water so it’s not as hard to clean, but the noise it generates clearly varies from unit to unit.
