Amazon.com Review
For arid climates or the dry cold days of winter, running a steam humidifier indoors often protects the inhabitants' skin from chapping or itching, allows stressed lungs to breathe with comfort, and infuses moisture into the room to the benefit wooden furniture, upholstery, and houseplants to prevent them from becoming brittle or parched. Honeywell created their Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier for all of these purposes and more, enhancing a room's humidity in record speed.

Best suited for rooms up to 1400 square feet in size, the humidifier's heater is crafted in stainless steel for quick heat production and trouble-free cleaning. The compact humidifier outputs 4 gallons of warm steam for each full tank of water. This humidifier offers users a timer function for running the unit for preset periods, ranging from an hour to the maximum 18-hour setting. Digital controls and the easy-to-read LCD screen enable users to alter or monitor current preference settings. A medicine cup allows users to run the humidifier as a vaporizer for stuffed noses, sore throats and other respiratory illnesses. An automatic shutdown feature reduces safety hazards. Humidifier water should be changed frequently and the tank washed well each week to prevent bacteria, mold, and other impurities from developing, though the heating process should kill many of these unhealthy particles. As with any electrical home device, read all manufacturer guidelines and instructions prior to use. This humidifier measures 15.55 by 14.57 by 10.24 inches and weighs 6 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

1 out of 5 stars don't buy this!   May 29, 2008
The description it gives for the square footage that it's supposed to humidify is totally off. This kept running and running and running and then, after 2 days, it needed to be cleaned otherwise it wouldn't run and when I went to clean it, it was all crusty and I couldn't get whatever it was off of there! So I returned it promptly.


4 out of 5 stars Best value   May 22, 2008
I bought one of these 1.5 years ago and bought another one this winter, since I loved my first one. I have had 2 humidifiers before that and this one has good features and works great.


4 out of 5 stars Very Good, Effective Humidifier   May 21, 2008
I've used this for three years, following sinus surgery. It's been great--no problems at all. It's quiet, easy to use, and works well. I'm a very light sleeper, and the occasional gurgles it makes don't bother me. If it's not cleaned often enough, however, the heating element cakes over and even seems to get burn marks on it. Then it starts making a sputtering sound that can be quite annoying.

The cleaning process, if done regulary, is not too bad. A 20 minute soak with vinegar (for de-scaling), then a 20 minute soak with a bleach solution (to sanitize). The trick is to de-scale the heating element before there's been too much build up. The instruction manual could be a little clearer, but some of the reviews here fill in the gaps and explain the procedure more thoroughly.



3 out of 5 stars Good but requires lots of maintenence   May 13, 2008
This thing does the job. I'm humidified. However, it has lots of parts that all require cleaning every couple of weeks. There is also a filter disk that needs to be changed semi-regularly. Maybe this is standard for humidifiers, but at any rate, it's a slight bummer.

I should also note that, the description is a bit misleading. It doesn't contain 4 gallons of water, it outputs up to 4 gallons of water in a day. The tank is closer to 2 gallons.



5 out of 5 stars Very nice   May 5, 2008
This is my third humidifier in two seasons. I couldn't live with the noise of the cool-mist humidifiers!

For the price it works very nicely even for relatively large sized rooms. Scale is an issue, and the mineral pads help (which by the way are quite cheap), but I still had to hookup a wire brush with my dremel to scrub the scale away every weekend. I guess you can't get a good humidifer without any issues (noise, mold, white dust, scale etc). For me, this worked out the best among all options.
