Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HCM-800 QuietCare PermaFilter Humidifier
Customer Review: No one said it was a "silent" humidifier, just less noisy
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the quiet care so far. I have had great success cleaning the filter by running through the dishwasher then soaking for a bit in dilute bleach water. I do think they should be replaced once in a while as it is a just a reinforced version of the disposable filters we are used to replacing monthly. They are available through [...] for about $[...].
It gives off a nice white noise, so if you're used to sleeping with a fan on anyway like we are, it's just fine.
If you're in the market for a noiseless humidifier, maybe you should go with the more expensive ultrasonic models..
Customer Review: Great Humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
This humidifier is outstanding - the best I've every had 30 years living in NE where we have the heat on 7 months a year. We use it to humidify the whole house (2600 sq feet). I like it so much that I bought a second HCM 800 as a spare in the event they stop making them. Yes you do have to clean it once a month (takes 15 minutes - follow instructions) and the filter is only really only good for 2 or 3 years but you can easily order another one on-line or by calling customer service. I totally recommend this humidifier.Customer Review: Anyone interested in a class action suit against Honeywell for HCM - 800?

How is it possible to call something "permanent" and then say in the manual that the filter needs to be disposed of after one season? If a car manufacturer claimed that it had "permanent" windshield wipers, that would mean, uh, they never needed to be replaced. My wife and I bought this from Home Depot solely based on the prominent "Permanent filter" that was promoted on the box cover.
If you're interested in joining the claim against Honeywell, please let me know.
Customer Review: Filter not available
Summary: 1 Stars
I called 800-411-0457 to order a replacement filter for this unit. They told me that the filters are out of stock and would not be available for 3-4 months...then he said AT LEAST 3-4 months. That did not sound promising. He did say I could ship the unit to KAZ and they would ship back a replacement unit...it would just cost $10 for return shipping. Not worth the hassle.
As for the functionality of the unit, it worked well but it is NOT QUIET and the blue/green light is VERY bright.
Customer Review: DOn't waste money
Summary: 2 Stars
The product is falsely advertised as having a permanent filter. DESPITE taking all the steps recommended by the manual to look after the filter - it grew warped and moldy. Had to discard the filter. When I called Honewell (Kaz #) they said they had no replacement filters available for the next 2 months. The sales rep needed training as he was sarcastic and told me I had no option but to wait for a filter and he could not take an order for the product. So an ABSOLUTE waste of money.
