    The unit started to burn itself. This is a defective and dangerous appliance. Don't buy it. Bestbuy won't even take it back. Spare yourself a home fire. I wish I could give negative stars.

    I tried both distill and tap water. Can't get it to run more than 10 minutes. It keep saying there is no water when the tank has more than half gallon left. What a piece of trash.

    I truly enjoy and am benefiting from my new BEST BUY Honeywell - HWM845 Warm Mist Humidifier with Essential oil cup, Filter Free - Black. It is ideal for me because I can use it easily in my living room, bedroom and elsewhere. I like it in the bedroom where it keeps me cozy and without dry mouth throughout the night. It warm mist humidifier provides me with a light agreeable mist when I wish to add that to the atmosphere. It was an ideal gift to myself before the Holidays get underway and I intend to use it throughout the New Year and for years to come : )

    It works well and is almost silent. It does gurgle when the water refills the lower reservoir. I dislike that you aren't supposed to carry the filled reservoir by the handle. The top is fragile and feels weak. This is a future point of failure if you don't follow the instructions. I like the essential oil cup, which works with essential oils and Vicks VapoSteam. I fill the cup halfway with water and add the oil or VapoSteam to the water in the cup. You don't put the oil or vapoSteam in the water tank. It provides good scent coverage, but without the water, I found it to be too strong. I use tap water, but I must clean it every week because the scale builds up quickly. It shuts off when the water runs dry.

    This is the first humidifier I have ever bought and I’m very happy with my choice! It is easy to use, you just fill up the tank with cold water, close the tank shut, lock it into place and turn it on. No filter involved. It has helped me sleep much better in combination with my air purifier. I have allergies that I treat with nasal sprays but they dry out my nose. The humidifier helps with that and I noticed it keeps my bedroom warm during colder nights. I’ve had this product about a month and so far no complaints.

    Fantastic humidifier

    Lifesaver during my bout with Covid 19. I used It with vicks inhalant at night while I was suffering with Covid 19 and I am certain that the humidifier had a huge benefit for my respiratory health during that time. I had a hard time with coughing and it was so painful to take in deep breaths and this warm air humidifier at my bedside helped so much with my breathing. I use It day to day with essential oils (not every day) and I love that feature as well. It’s not a diffuser but still puts the fragrance into the air and that is the main reason I chose this model. I got it on sale and it was worth every penny. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t shut itself off. I don’t know what would happen if I forgot to shut it off and went to work. I worry that it could overheat and potentially cause some kind of fire hazard but so far I always remember to shut it off in the morning. It goes through the water pretty fast also when you put it on the high setting so it doesn’t last all night unless you use it on the low setting which is fine for every day. When I had Covid I had to fill it up every so many hours for it to make it all night on the high setting. Inconvenient but still was worth it for the benefits.

    I do like this humidifier. It's the second one I've purchased because I was not cleaning it properly to prevent scale accumulation. Now that I know (!) I'm pleased. It's important to follow the suggestion for weekly cleaning with distilled vinegar. Otherwise, I'm happy with it.

    I think the Honeywell Warm mist is a great investment. This time of year house humidity needs more moisture. The use of heat and in the days that follow there are 2 reasons I bought it. One is health and it makes breathing easier and bronchitis is out there and it helps in treatment. I have met some. Two moist air holds heat better than dry air . Great value at Best Buy . Note the tank will not over do and no mold will form due to excessive overnight use. Easy to lift and clean. Thanks. Best Buy has restocked.

    Moist Air Relief for Dry Rooms!

    This is my 1st warm mist humidifier. Use it at night in 13x13 master bedroom during winter (in NY) when heating dries out air. Soft sound, works well, on high setting runs without a refill about 10 hrs, 24 hrs on low. Would have given 5 stars, but it requires weekly cleaning of several parts and honestly, that's a pain, but recommend for its ability to provide moist air at the right level.

    Was almost dissuaded by negative reviews

    Bought as a last resort and was pleasantly surprised. Was almost put off by the negative reviews but this thing has been running for a week straight on high setting only being turned off to refill the tank. I suspect those reviews might have not let the machine cool down before moving and trying to turn it back on immediately as that was the only time I ever had the reset light come on with water still in the tank. Overall works as intended and is quieter than expected on high setting. Easy to fill and operate, tank lasts about 8-10 hours on high.

    This is a compact and quiet unit. It's easy to fill, last's significantly long when operating and turns off automatically when the water runs out. It works as advertised to add some humidity to the dry heated winter air. I would recommend it,, particularly at the price it is available for at Best Buy. It would be very good for a smaller room, like a bedroom. I went back and bought another one after using the first one for a few days.

    Good humidifier, the warm mist is helpful to keep moisture airborn. This model is simple with just two setting options, not a lot of options just low, high and off. No filter keeps this unit simple also. Price was a little high for the features in my opinion.

    I recently purchased the Honeywell HWM845 Warm Mist Humidifier, and it has become an essential addition to my home. The standout feature for me is the essential oil cup, which elevates the humidifying experience to a whole new level. The warm mist produced by this humidifier is not only effective in alleviating dry air, but it also creates a comforting environment. The addition of the essential oil cup allows me to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy while tackling respiratory issues. Setting up and operating the HWM845 is a breeze. The control panel is user-friendly, and the essential oil cup is easily accessible for adding drops of my favorite essential oils. One of the standout features of this humidifier is its almost nonexistent noise level. I have yet to hear any disruptive sounds, making it an ideal choice for use in bedrooms or other quiet spaces. It truly lives up to its promise of silent comfort.
