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

Content: This humidifier has saved my apartment in winter dry Chicago! Even friends comment on the difference it makes. It easily handles my 1200 sq ft place and is simple to use.

Only negative is the constant need to clean and replace the filter - but that may have more to do with the hard Chicago water I am feeding it.
Summary: Great Performer

Content: Price was right; easy to fill and operate; shows the current humidity in your house; easy to clean;

Works well, we fill it twice a day while running on the low setting; when it runs out of water, the heater shuts down automatically. You know when it's time to clean when you take the water reservoir off and you see the remaining water in the basin is starting to turn yellow. It's easy to clean with a brush and some cleaning solution. Noise is not an issue. We put it on the landing upstairs outside the 3 bedrooms. I hear it at night but it doesn't bother me, its just the boiling sound and occasionally the glub, glub, glub of the water going from the reservoir into the basin.

Content: I recently purchased and returned this product. It warms the room up nicely and adds noticeable moisture to the dry air in our office. The main problem I ran into is that with all the warm mist, the inside of the unit collects lots of condensation that in turn drips down and drips out of the unit onto the counter. It's quite a bit of water that needs to constantly be cleaned up to point that it isn't convenient in the work environment. It didn't appear that the actual water reservoir was leaking but it was hard to tell. Another issue that I has was poor design or craftsmanship on the buttons, low quality production I guess.

It went through about 1 1/2 gallons of water set at about 55% humidity when running for an 8 hour day. I didn't have it long enough to have to clean it, but the product was easy to assemble, fill up and doesn't have many extra costs (I bought distilled water and replacement filters). I would have really liked it if it didn't have so much water coming out of it all the time.
Summary: warms and humidifies, water leaks all over

Content: I've had the product now for 2 years. Although a tad noisy, it worked well during that time. Until recently when I noticed the plastic cap on the water container had seemingly melted a bit. The quality seems poor and I would probably avoid Honeywell as a product in general for all future purchases.
Summary: Would not any Honeywell products
