Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 33202 Carefree Humidifier Plus
Customer Review: Noisy Fan Plus Loud Vibration
Summary: 1 Stars
I just got this humidifier yesterday and used it in my bedroom for the first night. I was able to sleep over the sound of the fan, but then at 6:00 AM I started hearing a lot of noise. At first I thought that the neighbors were playing the stereo. Then, I thought that someone was warming up a Harley in the parking lot. It turned out to be the humidifier. It was making a very loud vibration noise, which was even worse in the room below. I put it on a milk crate to get it off the carpet and put some padding underneath it. That helped, but if it doesn't any better in the next few nights, it is going back.I have the yellow stuff in the water too, but it is just the anti-bacteria coating from the filters so it is not a problem.
Customer Review: Noisy and Still Dry
Summary: 1 Stars
The unit makes a very loud, very annoying whiny noise. Even on the lowest fan speed, I can't sleep with it on, and if I am watching tv, I have to turn the tv volume up to hear over it. I have tolerated the noise for a full two days now, and the humidity has only increased 2%. It took about 36 hours to empty its water tank, so it's obviously not very effective at getting the moisture into the air. And as others have indicated, the water in the base of the unit is getting a little grungy looking. One more thing I wish I had considered when shopping for a humidifier, is that some put out warm mist while others put out cold mist. If you are cold natured like me, avoid the cold mist ones! I shiver every time I walk past it. Maybe if you plan to use it in the summer this would be refreshing, but in the winter this is not only unpleasant, but it doesn't make sense to have something that blows cold air into a house you are trying to heat. The one positive thing I can say is that the night light looks pretty cool.Customer Review: Not 24 hr, NOT whisper quiet

This humidifier is completly over priced (no matter where you purchase). On the lowest setting, you are supposed to get 24 hours, but you get 12 at best. It's also obnoxiously loud. Yes, it humidifies the room, but there are plently of other humidifers out there that are worth the $ you pay for them. I should have done my research before purchasing this one.Customer Review: Not carefree

I just finished dismantling the humidifier to clean it. There was definitely mold. The humidifier isn't bad. In fact, it works just fine. The filter is made of metal, which you can spray off in the sink or soak in water with a little bleach. I'm just disappointed in the false advertising.Customer Review: Not so impressed

We purchased one of these humidifiers a few years ago, and thought it worked fairly well. It was definately noisier than other humidifiers, but it had the night light feature and permanent filters that we were looking for in the product. Needless to say we purchased a second one for our other childs room and this one has had all sorts of problems. It is noisier than the first one we purchased even though it claims to be the same decible rating, its' nightlight quit working within 4 months, and it goes through water much faster than our other one. Permanent filters are overrated - they are very hard to clean (as is the whole unit). I say skip this one and find yourself a nice ultrasonic one.
