Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HCM-6011i QuietCare 11-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology
Customer Review: Awsome
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent performance. Easy to use and easy to refill water containers. My nose and skin are no longer dry. Low fan is pretty quiet; doesn't disturb sleep.Customer Review: Big Table-Top Unit
Summary: 3 Stars
This humidifier is a reasonable product, but let me clarify some issues for potential buyers:
1. It is listed as a "console" humidifier, but it is better described as a "large table top humidifier on wheels." If you like the features of a traditional console, or if you dislike table-top humidifiers, this will disappoint you.
2. It is rated at 11 gallons a day, and it probably can go through that much water, but the two tanks hold only 2 gallons each, so you would have to refill it 3 times a day to reach the full output capacity.
3. It is said to run "up to 24 hours" on a single fill, which is true only if you run it on the lowest setting. The highest setting will drain the tanks in 8 hours. I fill mine twice every day.
4. Some have pointed out that filling it will often drip water on the floor. This is true, but only a few drops and manageable unless you have a very sensitive floor.
5. Some have pointed out that the parts don't fit together well. This is true--it is often unclear if the main housing or bottles are seated properly, but there is no vibration or rattling so it isn't a big problem.
6. The tanks are of a odd shape, making them awkward to refill. The tank tops (which are the bottoms when inverted for filling) are curved and don't sit well, forcing you to steady the tank for the duration of the fill. Some edges of the tank are sharp angles, making it tricky to handle when turning over a full tank.
7. The tanks on my unit do not always drain properly. Sometimes I find the unit has turned off due to lack of water, but one tank is still completely full. Vendor is sending replacement tank caps. I've resolved short-term by adding a small washer to plunger on each tank to make sure it opens fully when tank is seated.
Overall, it is keeping my house at 40% RH, and I'm generally happy with it, but I do miss my old "console" unit.
Customer Review: Bit noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
The unit is a bit noisy on high, but I sleep fine with it on low and a couple of feet from my bed. Seems to do a very good job of getting moisture into the air even with the fan on low. The casters allow for easy movement, and the twin tanks are small enough to handle easily even when full.Customer Review: Can't Get It to Work
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item and was extremely disappointed. I followed all of the directions, but when I plugged it in, I got nothing. There isn't an On/Off switch, so you have to rely on the light which in my case never illuminated. I assumed it was defective, so I gave it another try. I received the second one with the same results. It is difficult to seat the operating unit, the water tanks do not fit snuggly, and the whole thing falls apart when you attempt to seat the operating unit. Mine is going back....again.Customer Review: Decent Product, I recommend
Summary: 4 Stars
The product does exactly what it suppose to do. It maintains the humidity to the desired level. You can feel the difference in the house. The only drawback with the unit is its noice level. But I have not used any other matchine to compare to.
