Honeywell - HEV620 Cool Moisture Humidifier with Humidistat - Black

Love this humidifier! It is so easy to fill, it tells you what the room humidity is, and it brings the rooms humidity up very quickly. The only drawback is the Honeywell filters are rather expensive.

Love this product except the frequency required and money necessary to change the filter. If I am lucky and care for it well it will last a month. Additionally after having this for awhile I will notice in the am the water hasn't reduced. I will have to take the container out and replace which then allows the water to flow.

I need a logical reason for doing things. Therefore, when I make a purchase, I do my research compared to our needs. We had a small humidifier, and keeping it filled was a nuisance. So, large capacity was a "must." For ease of filling, I preferred a top-loading machine. (Why "they" don't make more machines with a hole in the top, I don't know!) I wanted a humidistat so we could set the humidity we wanted. My wife is a "germaphobe," so that was also a consideration. For that reason, a filter seemed desirable. (There is no such thing as a "perfect" machine.) This unit meets all our needs. 1 1/2 gallon capacity, easy to fill and carry, quiet, and humidistat. We are very happy with our choice, and recommend it highly. From my research, it seems Honeywell provides good customer service, should you need it. Price against other units with similar features is very good.

Probably about the largest evaporatve humidifier I've seen, standing at just about 2ft tall. But for a unit this big, the wicking filter is smaller than I expected, and I was concerned that it would not be as effective. But so far it seems to work pretty well. On high fan speed the noise is fairly quiet, but still... it's a fan, and it's audible. I don't feel like I have to turn up the TV though to hear it over the fan noise. On the low fan speed, you can barely hear it at all. The best part, and what was one of the key features for me is the ease of refilling. No sticky knobs to unscrew, and the tank can stand upright on its own. It is a tall tank, so won't fit easily in most sinks, but the beauty is ; it doesn't have to fit in the sink. The top of the tank doesn't seal closed in any way, if you're concerned about that, but not a concern for me.

I have very dry eye and needed a humidifier and this one has a larger canister so it lasts all day. The only down side is the filters are expensive but they last for a while. You do need to rotate the filter daily to keep it moist.
