Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 33257 Carefree Humidifier Plus with Permawick
Customer Review: What a shame!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have two of these models. I purchased both December 2004, and one has just died. After checking it with a meter, my husband says it has an open contact somewhere. I am getting another Hunter, but they surely need to direct more attention to the life of the motor and have a better warranty.Customer Review: What a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought one for our newborn son's room about a year ago (just now got around to writing about how horrible it is). We thought we had picked out a decent model, especially since it wasn't bargain basement priced. From day 1, it put out almost no moisture whatsoever. Had it on high and still lots of static and dry noses in the house. And just like everyone else's review, the motor crapped out very shortly. After reading and experiencing how horrible this product is, we don't even want a new one from Hunter. Don't make the same mistake we did. We didn't do a review search to see it was horrible. If you're reading this, you are lucky enough to be doing a product review so take everyone's advice...DO NOT BUY THIS HUMIDIFIER. You will be disappointed.Customer Review: Wonderful humidifer
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not too noisy and it has nice electronic sensor to constantly monitor the moisture level in the room.
The water capacity is quite large and lasts over several days.
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this after trying four other humidifiers - all of them soaked the walls or the floor. This one works very well, and the large tank only needs refilling every few nights (I only turn it on at night). I use the low setting as the high setting is a bit loud, but the low setting is as quiet as any other humidifier I tried (I keep it in the hallway outside of the bedroom). Tank is very easy to refill - I like the handle on top to pull tank off, carry it to the sink, then flip it over, fill it, put top back on, flip it back over and carry it to the base and set it in (someone else didn't like this set up, but I don't get why you'd want it any other way). I have an electronic thermostat in the house that also measures humidity and the humidifier definitely raises humidity. Pretty easy to clean - I've had it for three years and it still works great - I bleach vinegar it maybe twice a winter.Customer Review: coverage

I have my doubts that the unit can handle 1350 sq. ft. but in the one month of ownership I like the appliance. I don't place it in the bedroom and I think the fan noise is acceptable for a fan driven humidifier. Like not having to buy replacement filters and with our hard water it really loads up in two weeks. I have the time (15-20 minutes)and $1.00 worth of vinager and the filter is ready to go again. Did have a spell a week ago when the motor sounded like a bike with a card flipping on the spokes. Took the motor housing off flipped it around looking and touching and put it back on and no noise. Keeping my fingers crossed.
