Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HCM650 4-Gallon QuietCare Cool Moisture Humidifier
Customer Review: Cheaply Made/ Quirky Performance
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this humidifier (I own two). I hate the controls - they are slow to respond and the unit starts up irregularly. I tried cleaning the boiler plate after one month's use to no avail. I have since sent one of the units back (direct to the manufacturer as the Amazon returns window had expired) which will cost me over $21 (keep in mind I already paid $39....) - I am hoping for a replacement unit - or even better, a full refund. The humidifier is too quirky, a bit noisy and really just cheaply constructed. I make a lot of purchases on-line and pride myself on my shopping research - WARNING: Keep looking - this isn't what you are hoping for - trust me.Customer Review: Don't buy this product

After about a week of using the humidifier..the fan stopped working.
I tried to return it to Amazon but their buyer would not accept it back because I openend the package. I called Honeywell and they tried to help me fix it over the phone, but could not. I ended up having to ship it back to Honeywell and paid $20.00 for shipping! I am still waiting to get the replacement after a month. Also, you can not refill in your bathroom sink becasue of the way the water tank is designed. It goes on/off during the night depending on the humidity in the room, which would wake us up.
We will have to see how the replacement is...From now on, I will only buy products that are "fragile" in a store where I can exchange or return it directly to the buyer without having to pay shipping cost.
Customer Review: Don't loose your receipt, you may have to return it
Summary: 1 Stars
Many reviewers complained about a non-working humidistat. I ignored the warnings, and bought it anyway. I got a flawed unit, returned it, and the second unit I got had the same flaw. It speaks about the quality of these products.
Buy it if you:
don't mind some noise at night (fan)
don't mind some cool air in your bedroom.
don't have to drive too far to return a faulty unit until you get one that works.
If you buy it, then don't complain that it blows cool air, because you should have know from the model name that it blows "cool moisture".
Customer Review: Effective but don't leave water in it when you're not using it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This humidifier is great. I've been using an older model for a few years.
I recently had a problem where the fan would run but not suck up the water (ie actually humidify) I discovered the filter was full of mildew. I clean it out during off seasons but apparently when I went out of town for a few days, some mildew started to form that eventually stopped the machine from working. After cleaning it out and replacing the filter, it was back at work!
It is a little loud on high but not annoyingly so. I generally leave it on medium setting most of the time and set it to high whenever I step out of my apt. That seems to work great.
Customer Review: Finally a Great & Affordable Humidifier!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally-something that does & is what it says it will! Quality, Quiet, lasts all day & night. I love these things! I have purchased many a humidifier only to get home and have it be loud and annoying for the bedroom, also to have it run out too quick, or leave mildew on my walls and on my stuff because it didn't have any control..returned them ALL, or they gave out after only a couple of months use (Hunter) I almost had given up on the whole ordeal until I tried one of these babies! I have 2 and have had them going on 3 yrs now. I do only use them when having the furnace on in the late fall-winter-early spring. I was lucky to find black ones...how cool! I will definately buy more of them when these give out.
I go through a filter and a cartridge a month..you can tell when it needs it..
I can't say enough how great these Honeywell humidifiers are, I just hope they don't discontinue them! Thank you Amazon for keeping such a great product!
