    This humidifier has a water pump that transfers water to an upper tier section where the ultrasonic transducer is located, it creates water vapor through ultrasonic vibrations, and a fan in the bottom of the unit blows air upward causing the humidity to blow upward from the top of the unit. This humidifier is definitely simpler to fill with water compared to some other humidifiers, all you have to do is fill a container with purified or distilled water and pour it into the top of the Honeywell. I customized my Honeywell humidifier with a rectangular piece of plastic that I cut to fit the top shape of the humidifier, it protects dust buildup that would otherwise fall into the water reservoir. This Honeywell humidifier does spatter a bit of water onto the top of the unit when it is humidifying, this is only because the ultrasonic transducer is located near the top. This water spattering is slightly annoying, but if the humidity dial is turned down, the water spattering reduces to almost nothing on the lowest setting. This water spattering effect does not happen with ultrasonic humidifiers that have the ultrasonic transducer located near the bottom, but those units do not have a water pump, which has an overall positive effect of constantly mixing the water in the reservoir, and also causes less gunk to build up directly on the top of the transducer, since the water is flowing when the humidifier is on. This humidifier does not have a humidistat, so it needs to be turned off once the humidity has risen to the desired level, but in my experience with humidifiers having humidistats, is that since the humidity is emitted from the device, built in humidistats usually are way inaccurate because the humidity directly surrounding the humidifier rises more than in the rest of the room. In my included pictures, you can see a green/blue colored X-Power fan pointing upwards, this has an invaluable effect of blowing the humidity upward and dispersing it far into the room. I also have my humidifier plugged into a remote controllable appliance module, it has a small remote with an off and on button, and the appliance module is a small rectangular device which plugs into the wall outlet and the humidifier plugs into it. With this seutp, all I need to do once the humidity rises, is press the off button and the humidifier turns off, of which I have an indoor thermometer which also has a hygrometer, and it displays the room’s humidity level in percentage, I find that around 50 – 55 % humidity is optimal. Room digital thermometers which have a hygromter, and remote controllable appliance modules can be purchased at most home improvement stores. Quite a few other humidifiers available, cost quite a bit more and are also more high maintenance, it is mostly the water filling process that is a hassle with humidifiers having water tanks needing to be removed from the unit, before the tank can be filled. Do not expect the best results if ever trying to use plain tap water, as this will cause the impurities in the water to be expelled in the mist, and it will produce a white layer of dust throughout the room, this is common to all ultrasonic humidifiers. PURE WATER = NO WHITE MIST This humidifier does not have any hard water deposit filters, so always use purified or distilled water, and this will avoid hard water deposits that will occur if using plain tap water. Overall this is a nice humidifier.

    The quality of the product is excellent and you don't have to rob a bank to buy it. It has a slim line and isn't noticable in the corner of a room. The only drawback is I can hear it running. But my hearing is acute. It's very easy to fill.

    Compact with design that takes up very little space on dresser. Mist emitted in one direction over bed sleeper position which I find useful. Small humidifiers can not possibly humidify an entire bedroom.

    I was looking for a humidifier that my elderly mom could refill by just pouring water into and not have to lift the reservoir, ect. This is perfect. However it is noisy so had to move it from bedroom to another area as it kept her up at night

    It humidifier works great for what we need it for. We just use it in the bedroom and turn it on before bed to help our dry air from natural gas heat. Both my wife and I feel much better in the morning. We forgot to turn it on one night and were both felt horrible the next morning. It makes a huge difference in our quality of sleep!

    My girlfriend and I bought a house last winter. We keep it pretty cold, 62 degrees in the Winter. This created some breathing problems this winter for my girl so we bought this unit. Works well in our bedroom which isn't big by any means, but the unit does very well for our needs.

    My old humidifier was on the outs so I picked this one up. I wouldn't say it quiet, but the ability to fill it without taking a tank off is great. It also has a bright blue light that was initially distracting, but now seems to be fine. It acts like a night light.

    This humidifier really works well. Having a humidity control is nice. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the running water is a little noisy

    A solid, if unusual, humidifier

    First, this is an ultrasonic humidifier -- the kind that requires the least maintenance. It requires keeping the water level constant over a piezoelectric disc. Other ultrasonics that I have used kept the disc at the bottom, and used a removable tank to hold the water. This one is COMPLETELY different -- it uses an open design, with the disc at the top! How does it get the water up there? It actually includes a water pump that keeps water circulating. The water is pumped up, and extra water just trickles over the side back into the reservoir. So, yes there is a moving part that might break, and the pump makes some noise. There is also a water filter (supposedly for harness) that will also have to be occasionally replaced. However, it does work, and works well. It is nice not having to lift up the tank to refill it -- you just pour water in using a pitcher. Overall, it makes a little noise, but it works well. The only real annoyance is the bright blue LED illuminating the water level.

    This was a replacement for one that finally wore out from use. It's easy to clean (dishwasher or by hand) and I like that it's easy to fill from the top instead of having to take off a tank and use a faucet sprayer or a cup. Only requires an anti-bac Protec ball and the demineralization cartridge to run. The lowest setting lasts all night through mid morning with a full tank and keeps enough moisture in the bedroom for a good night's rest. Never had to use the highest setting so I can't say how long that lasts. The clear flow cover is a great feature too to keep little paws and tongues from getting at the water flow and causing problems with fur. It would get 5 stars if I could get at some of the areas to clean by hand instead of needing a dishwasher. Despite that, I'm satisfied with this & highly recommend it!

    Good product. Make sure to have a fan on. If left running on overnight without air movement, the water vapor will fall and dampen the floor around it. Puts alot of water vapor into the air, but no noticeable doifference between low and high. Still recommend it.

    I purchased this humidifier as we had our first baby born. This is very quiet and work really well. One gallon of water lasts 24 hours and you can also adjust the frequency of the cool mist which is good. This product also looks cool and refilling and cleaning is very simple. I will surely recommend this humidifier for medium to large size room.

    The humidifier works very well - seems reliable. Only complaint is it's a bit difficult to fill, since the water chamber is attached. I have to fill some other cup and make 3 or 4 trips back and forth to the sink to fill it
