Tools and Hardware Reviews of Clairion Comfort Plus 3-Gallon Warm-Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: It worked!
Summary: 4 Stars
We have had the 1 1/2 Gallon version for some time, and it has done quite well. When it did stop working, I searched the internet and came across Mark H. Mullin's comments. Well the tip that he rejected worked. After a few seconds with the hair dryer I heard a click, but kept it up for a couple of minutes. Remounted the tower and it started right back up.Customer Review: LEAK
Summary: 2 Stars
After a few weeks of use, one of the tanks is leaking. The humidistat (such as it is) is prone to mood swings. I will be replacing this and avoiding Clairion.Customer Review: Nice design, but VERY NOISY
Summary: 2 Stars
Overall, a well designed unit - 3 gallon water capacity, very easy to clean (tanks and vaporizing unit all remove easily). Unfortunately, this unit is VERY NOISY - extremely distracting even when in the far corner of my 500 sq ft room. So noisy I had to send it back. While I applaud the excellent design in terms of water capacity and cleaning, I'd never recommend this unit because of the noise level.Customer Review: Nice unit, and works well now that I know how to reset humidistat
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this unit as it holds a TON of water in the two tanks, and it's easy to use. Cleaning the buildup off of the heating element is a bit of a pain (we have very hard water), but I don't have to do it that often. The tanks are a bit awkward, but the design is reasonable. It puts out a TON of steam, though it is rather noisy when it does (don't try to run it in your bedroom at night).
The only issue is that after two years of great operation, it started to have a humidistat problem that prevented it from starting sometimes. However, thanks to the comment of Mr. Mullin, and the feedback from the user who tried the hair dryer fix, I resolved this issue very quickly. 2 mins with the hair dryer fixed it right up and I considered this to be a very simple fix (can't imagine discarding the unit for something this easy, but I would like to know what the better unit is so I can consider that for my next purchase!).
I like the hot mist type as it avoids the mould and mineral problems that can cause allergy and health issues for many people.
Overall, a good unit.
Customer Review: No tank handles, Cranky humidistat
Summary: 1 Stars
Overall, I was very disappointed with this humidifier, and have ordered a replacement from a different brand.
The tanks are more difficult to fill then they should be. The design of the tanks is that the handle is on the top, and the fill is on the bottom. That means that there is no convenient place to hold the tank while filling.
When you wash the outside, make sure the entire center column is dry. Otherwise water seeps into the humidistat, and the humidifier will not function for a day or two until it dries. Other models place the humidistat safely away from water.
The humidistat on my unit gets less sensitive over time, so the humidifier does not come on. I have to unscrew the unit and shim the controls. Clairion has not responded to an online service request.
For a $90 premium humidifier, I suggest considering other units. I especially like a Holmes humidifier, with a digital humidistat.
