Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HCM650 4-Gallon QuietCare Cool Moisture Humidifier
Customer Review: Solid Choice
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitely not the quietest unit, however, it puts out much more moisture than three other humidifiers I own (I believe the 4 gal per day output). It will empty it's tank in a night if it's really dry. That means the humidity control is doing it's job. As far as mold goes, I just douse the filter with water when I'm filling up the tank and I have had no mold issues. The specs for all my humidifiers (Honeywell, Holmes, Vicks) say change the filter every thirty days so I don't think this is necessarily a knock on this unit. You may get 6 weeks out of it but I would want to change it anyway by then.Customer Review: Don't loose your receipt, you may have to return it
Summary: 1 Stars
Many reviewers complained about a non-working humidistat. I ignored the warnings, and bought it anyway. I got a flawed unit, returned it, and the second unit I got had the same flaw. It speaks about the quality of these products.
Buy it if you:
don't mind some noise at night (fan)
don't mind some cool air in your bedroom.
don't have to drive too far to return a faulty unit until you get one that works.
If you buy it, then don't complain that it blows cool air, because you should have know from the model name that it blows "cool moisture".

We bought this last winter after our family was suffering bloody noses and sinus pain due to the dryness in our home.
We happen to like the fan noise, but we have always used a fan to help us stay asleep. I can see where it would be annoying to those not used to the white noise.
Found this to be the best value out there and even with our hard water we have used this humidifier with no ill effects. We will be changing the filter for the first time when we restart the unit this month. The Protec cartridges can be found in a big box store for a reasonable price.
Customer Review: Okay, but Not Quiet
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this humidifier for my son's room, primarily because my Voronado was having a qlitch (fixed - LOVE my Voronado!) and it was less expensive and said "quiet." Now, I am not sure who thought this was a quiet humidifier, compared to turbine engines it could be considered quiet, but nothing close to the quiet of my Voronado.
It does do the job of humidifing the room, and I like the digital setting for the percent humidity. It is easy to refill, and it does make a great white noise machine for sleeping - if you don't mind the loud noise.
Customer Review: Humidifies nothing, but leaks all over

Bought this at the end of last winter. It worked all right the couple of times we used it, but when we have been using it this winter, it consistently empties out the tank when the tank gets close to empty, resulting in the water spilling out all over the floors. Get this product if you want an excuse to get new floors, because you could wake up and find a giant puddle of water everywhere! We put a plastic container under it to make sure that it wasn't a one time thing and it happens every time. This feature should be mentioned in the description!
