Honeywell Quietcare™ Cool Moisture Humidifier

The water wick / filter is not holding up very well at all.  it is floppy and falling apart already.  Also, the unit is not that quiet at all.

This is the third unti i have purchased over the years. Obviously, being very satisfied with the first two led me to purchase this third unit. Overall, the unit works better than the other two in terms of putting moisture into the air. However, three changes have made the unit less customer friendly. The first is the the handle now protrudes out of what use to be flat top units. This does not provide a flat surface to put the unit down when filled in order to screw the tank cover back on. It makes it difficult to work with when full and there is even a risk that it will topple over.

Secondly, the older units had an automatic cut off when the water in the tank ran out. The new unti does not have a turn off so if the unit runs out of water before one is aware it needs filling, it just continues to run empty. The problem is that if it runs too long it dries out the filter, which is something the directions tell you should not be allowed to happen.

Lastly, with the old units, the directions allowed one to clean the botton by placing it in the dishwasher as an alternative to clening with rag and cleaner. With this new unit, this option has been eliminated.

I heat with wood and was having one sinus infection after another because it was so dry. The Kaz has helped bring in the humidity I need to keep the sinus infections at bay.
