Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HWM450 Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier
Customer Review: Briefly
Summary: 4 Stars
Within a couple of weeks of purchase and relatively light use, there was already a significant build up of minerals on the metal element. I followed the cleaning instructions, but that didn't remove the minerals. The element is not, in my opinion, easy to clean. The humidifier works very well, I would just recommend that, if you have hard water you clean it frequently, use filtered water, or distilled water to prevent so much build up. All in all I'm satisfied with it's performance and effectiveness.Customer Review: Broke within a few months
Summary: 2 Stars
The second winter I began to use this, it broke early on. Plus, even with the recommended maintenance, mineral deposits collected, which is what I think ultimately broke it. This time I'm going to try Crane's cool mist humidifier, hoping for better.Customer Review: Broken Reservoir
Summary: 2 Stars
Had the unit for a couple months. It had trouble maintaining desired humidity of a small bedroom with the door closed. Overall, a decent unit but not spectacular. Needed cleaning every couple days, but my water is definitely hard -- so it was to be expected.
However, after a couple months, I was filling the reservoir and the handle broke off. The reservoir instantly shattered after an 8 inch fall to the side of the bathtub. The handle it turns out uses very poor glue. I had two hands on the reservoir, and was rotating it back to upright position after screwing the cap back on. I would estimate probably maximum 10 pounds of pressure.
I would not recommend this unit even if the reservoir hadn't broken. The parts/pads are a pain to get, support is non-existent, humidifier performance/features is nothing to get horny about, and the Kaz company might as well not exist. Honeywell is a name only.
Customer Review: Bubble bubble toil and trouble
Summary: 1 Stars
After a couple weeks this thing started boiling and gurgling constantly. It's really loud. Also the replacement pads are expensive, impossible to find, and need to be replaced often. To top this off, the product isn't even listed on the manufacturers website so there is zero support.
Defineatly avoid this one.
Customer Review: Can't beat the 3-yr warranty
Summary: 3 Stars
I use my humidifier all the time in the winter. Although it needs to be cleaned weekly because a brown film develops inside, the filters don't cost much and the machine works really well. I recently cracked the water tank while refilling it in the tub but when I called customer service, they said it was still under warranty and would ship me a new water tank free of charge within 7-10 business days.
