Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HCM-640BW QuietCare 4-Gallon Cool Moisture Humidifier 2 in 1 Tower
Customer Review: Not too satisfied
Summary: 3 Stars
The output, sound, setup, etc. of this humidifier is fine. It took less than 5 minutes to put together. It is nice to have the extra height on the humidifier. It makes it easier to refill. Filling is very easy in the kitchen sink. I had to fill my old humidifier in the bathtub, and it was kind of difficult. Sound on high is too loud when sleeping. Sound on low makes a rattling sound (every other humidifier did the same thing). Sound on medium is perfect, and I have no problem sleeping with it.
I didn't realize the base dimensions were so large. I had purchased a stand to place this on, since the air blows straight out the front rather than straight up like my old one. My bedroom is not huge and I have a king size bed, so there is not much spare space. The humidifier turned out to be way to big to place on the stand I purchased. I don't think I get as much benefit from the humidifier as possible, because it blows into the side of my bed rather into the air. I may end up buying a cheap old-fashioned type that blows straight up to use in my bedroom and move his HCM-640BW into my living room. I recommend this humidifier if you have a large room and have space to accomadate for the fact that the air blows out about knee level.
update (2/12/08)
My humidifier now "rattles" when it runs. This is very annoying when trying to sleep. Also, the filter became mildewy/moldy faster than any other humidifiers' filters that I have ever had before. I think I will stick with the normal cheapy humidifiers that blow air up next time. That way there won't be a large investment, it will actually blow the moisture UP into the air, and I won't have to change the filter every month. Not satisfied
update (12/1/08)
I would like to lower my rating to 1 star!! After having a rough late winter/early spring last year with the unit because of rattling noises, having the air blow straight out rather than up in the air, and having to change the filter often because of ridiculous mildew problems (never had this bad of a problem with previous humidifiers), I finally had to buy a new humidifier after about a month's use of it this fall. Now it started leaking water. Good thing I heard the dripping, because the unit was leaking water onto the floor. I guess because of it being raised off the ground with the plastic base, I was able to realize it was leaking sooner than I normally would have. This unit is getting trashed on "garbage day". I purchased a new humidifier (different brand and type) that does in fact blow the humidified water UP into the air, therefore, creating greater humidity throughout the air. I love my new humidifier so far. Just hoping the love lasts. It's just too bad I had purchased 2 new filters for the honeywell humidifier just a couple weeks ago. Unless I can sell them or return them without receipts (never thought I would need to return them --- figured I would use them somewhat quickly because of the frequency of need to change them with the unit), then I will be out another approximately $30.
