Customer Review: Duracraft DWM250 Warm Mist Humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this produc although I would like it to have a larger tank. It runs very quiet.Customer Review: Duracraft Humidifier

No complaints on the operation....works great and puts out the water vapor quietly, but it's adversised as 2 1/2 gallons. I bought it specificly for that reason (the one I had was a one gallon). On the high setting, it will only run for about 7 hours.....not enough for a full nights sleep.
Customer Review: Duracraft Warm Mist Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this particular humidifier in the past and have been very pleased. I tried a cool mist humidifier and wasn't satisfied with the results. They are way too noisy and do not really put enough moisture in the air. I bought 2 of the warm mist humidifiers and now use them to keep the humidity level up in my condo.
The down side is that you have to keep filling the canister, but that's only because it's so efficient at producing humidity. I have learned from owning these types of humidifiers that regular maintenance is a must. If you pour a little lime and calcium remover in the reservoir about once every 2 weeks and let it soak it's very easy to keep clean.

The price was right. Works great and when run on low one filling lasts all day. I have some sinus problems and putting moisture in the air has helped tremendously. I would definitely recommend this product. Jacky in IndianaCustomer Review: Duracraft humidifier

I bought this humidifier in March, after having suffered through too many dry winter nights. Now I really wish I'd bought one sooner! For $25, it's a relatively painless purchase, and it's made quite a difference in my comfort while sleeping - less stuffy noses and fewer nose bleeds.
It's not super fancy, but it makes steam, which is really all I wanted in a humidifier. We tend to use it by turning it on high a little before bed, and then turning it down to low before sleeping (on high, it won't make it through the night - which is too bad, but something I planned on when purchasing a humidifier of this size). Doing things this way, we use about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the tank each night.
Yes, you have to fill it every night, but it's really quite painless to do. The tank detaches, you fill it, you pop it back on. Easy! And yes, you do have to press the little "start" switch, but it's seriously half a second's worth of "extra work" - not the major issue some reviewers have made it out to be. I saw a review that suggested it was hard to know when the machine was on, particularly in the dark - but I think it's actually quite easy. When the humidifier is on, the light comes on. If for some reason your light was defective, it only takes a moment for the machine to make some steaming sounds, and every now and then, the water burbles. (This was slightly startling at first, but now I find it kind of comforting.) Also, you can easily feel the steam with your hand over the machine if you give it a moment to get started. Basically, if you have turned the dial to "low" or "high" and pressed down the "start" switch, the humidifier is working. That's really not so hard!
Definitely clean the unit periodically, as instructed by the manual. We didn't at first, and the mineral buildup and sediment was kind of...really icky.
Overall, this is an inexpensive humidifer which makes steam and works through the night on a low setting, which is what I wanted and expected from this purchase.
