Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HWM450 Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Customer Review: Disappointing pruchase
Summary: 1 Stars
This unit was great while it worked, but I warn you against buying this product. Read some of the reviews on other similar Honeywell models.
This unit stopped functioning after about a week of moderate use. No lights, and certainly no action. The display went blank and would not turn back on.
Customer Review: Disappointing, Returning for Refund
Summary: 2 Stars
I so wanted this machine to work out for me. I read reviews til my head hurt and thought this was going to work out in my large living room or large bedroom. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the humidity up over 20%. Also, I had a hard time getting the thing going. It would go on, great, awesome, and stop. I took it apart a few times and finally got it going. I think the mineral filter pad wasn't seating properly. Anyway, I'm returning it and will probably go back to good old fashioned vaporizers (which is what I was replacing).Customer Review: Do Not Purchase This
Summary: 1 Stars
The tank is very small. It outputs 4 to 5 gallons a day and has a tank 1.2 or so gallons big.
Do the math!!! it needs a fill up every 5 or so hours.
How much more would a bigger tank Review: Do not purchase this unit
Summary: 3 Stars While the performance of the unit has been satisfactory, we unfortunately have hard water which requires frequent changing of the mineral absorption pads - required to run the unit efficiently as it keeps hard water deposits from the heating plate.
The unit is manufactured by a company named Kaz but is sold under the Honeywell name. The instructions say to contact Kaz to order new pads. I have contacted them twice to order new pads and each time, they say they are out of them and will get them in "next month." I have since seen several reviews indicating this same problem. Therefore, the options are to either purchase mineral water and fill the unit with that or clean the unit EVERY DAY.
I recommend going with another brand - one in which you know will be supported by the manufacturer and not render the unit virtually useless.
Customer Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
It looks like I can't give zero stars, so I guess I have to give 1. It has a built-in hygrometer that shuts it off once the desired humidity level has been reached. However, since the built-in hygrometer always thinks the room's humidity level is over 70%, and it is not willing to humidify beyond 65%, the machine never actually puts water in the air. It's kind of like if the heater in your house always thought the temperature were 90 degrees and thus never turned on.
In the package is one of those "stop" tags that says that rather than returning it, you should call their 1-800 number and allow them to help you. They were polite, but had no suggestions. Thus I have returned it. I suggest buying a different model.
