Honeywell QuickSteam™ 3.0 Gallon Warm Moisture Humidifier Details
Nice Improvements
Having owned a few of the HWM-450's (digital controls) I didn't hesitate to replace them with another unit from Kaz. This unit has several improvements. The heating element is redesigned and does a much better job keeping the crud off it, it gurgles a lot less when running, the water fill cap gasket system is greatly improved and the low setting is much better. The only thing I don't like is the watter bottle is hard to fill because its hard to keep it ballanced when filling it (upside down).
I would love to have an updated HWM-450 that has all these improvements. The digital hemostat control works better than this analong version in the 30-40% range. Plus with the digital version you can set a countdown timer. Set it for 8 hours before bed, and it turns off when you wake up so you don't have to remember to shut it down before going to work. Kaz, please make a digital version of this new design.
Overall 5 stars. Even thouh I would love a digital version, I bought this unit knowing it was analog and the quility and other improvemnets make this a great little steam based humidifier. My old units lasted a good 5 years and I wouldn't be surprised if I get that out of this.
experienced humidifier user
I bought my Honeywell QuickSteam™ 3.0 Gallon Warm Moisture Humidifier Model Number: HWM-330 at my local Ace Hardware, and paid twice as much for it as I ever paid for any humidifier previously, so I assumed that my HWM-330 would last considerably longer and do a better job humidifying. Oooooooooooh was I wrong! Throughout the months when it actually worked, the water tank usually leaked. Even with the water container full, it only operated for 9-10 hours, despite the box advertising run time of “up to 24 hrs”. But after only 3 months, it stopped working completely.
I wondered if I should just 'give up' on it altogether when I was at the post office shipping it back to Kaz earlier this week, because the shipping costs were as much as what I paid for my last humidifier (which functioned much better than my Honeywell did). The best that Kaz may do is fix or replace it with one that works the way I feel a high-priced humidifier should work, but if I am wrong again, than I will have wasted over $70 total on this model.
If you buy this model, I hope it works 10 times as well for you as it did for me, but I don't recommend Honeywell for now. To stick me with this bad of a device and expect me to carry it 4 times as far to the post office as I carried it home from the store AND pay $17 shipping costs to send it back to them is unreasonable, but I will see in the weeks to come if the return gets me anywhere.
The Walgreens and Vicks brand humidifiers that I used in years past were much better than the Honeywell was. (And, if it matters, less than half the cost!)
humidifier
I have had several Honeywell humidifiers over the years. This new one replaces one that I have used 24/7 for around 12 yrs. The feature I like as one of the best, is the size of the water tank. It allows you to fill it once every day or two, depending on current humidity. Since I live in a high desert area, we are in an extremely dry climate. Not only is it good for health reasons, but it also helps keep the house from being too dry. I love it.
Reservoir is made of very thin plastic
This is the second product we have purchased this year. The first, the plastic water reservoir cracked. I bought another one at the local hardward store and last night the water reservoir cracked on this one. Can I just buy a water reservoir and not the entire product?

Honeywell Humidifier
This is my third honeywell humidifier and so far honeywell is the best brand I have ever used. I like the fact that it turns off when the water runs out and also the fact that this latest model does not use filter. I like it.
Not easy with hard water
In 2006 we moved to Arizona. After the first night of dehydrated head I started purchasing humidifiers for the bed room. Ano/cathode steamers lasted a few weeks, evaporators were noisy and became lime clogged and the aluminum baffles became brittle then crumbled after several months. The sonic unit covered the room in fine white powder.
Finally I bought 2 of the larger Honeywell electronic models. One lasted 3 and the other 4 yrs. Went through countless mineral pads and still the heater plate would be thick with calcium carbonate (rock), bought distilled vinegar 2 gallons at a time. Despite the lime problem they were the most reliable, no odor, acceptable quiet & efficient humidifiers tried to date.
This year we moved to MO. , no longer need to run one year round. So for the winter of 12/13 we bought the dial control smaller version of the quicksteam line, and bought one for our son when he moved to a new apartment In CT. His water is soft and the unit cleans with a wipe of paper towel. They both work fine, There is a non-stick coating on the heating element that allows the vinegar to rempve chunks of lime quickly.
Highly recommend if you have soft water... or hard water for that matter, you'll just have to keep after the buildup.
quicksteam mineral absorption pad
I need to know exactly how to use the mineral absorption pad or if I need to utilize it. Please help.

Dead
Worked for a couple weeks, then just died. This thing wasn't cheap and not at all worth the money.
No Visible Steam
There is little to no visible steam. It barely moistens the air in the room. I am exchanging for a different one.
A workhorse
I've had this model for over 7 years - it's very durable, but time to renew. I've tried others but none was as effective as this. I wish they would upgrade however with more features. It is quiet and produces a lot of soothing steam. I would recommend to anyone.
Easy to fill, also.
humidifier
Unit is listed as three gallon, but water tank only holds less than two gallons, which means I have to fill it every other night.
ShOcKiNg!!!!
Filled it once, ran it during the night. It was empty when I woke up the following morning. I reached for the tank to refill and it shocked me. I returned the product for a refund.
Water leak
just the right functions
lasts at most a year
stops working all of a sudden. first one lasted six months and second one year.
to the customer service's credit, they have replaced it once and are replacing it again.
i would of course prefer a refund.
my advice would be to buy a reliable one which may cost more but will at least do the job for some years.

HWM-450 service
I just want to say how happy I am with this product! Mine was the HWM-450 4 gal.unit. Ran it trouble free for almost 4 sesons, which is surprising as the water mineral content in my area was very high. The heating plate seemed to have stopped working and I wanted to purchase another or get repaired. I contacted Kaz and returned it. They sent me another similar one which even seems better, and at no cost except shipping! Outstanding service! This product is used for a variety of things, it steams model ship planking for bending better than anything I have ever used, it also will warm up cold defrosted mice for my snakes when they don't feel particularly hungry with a cold one!

Warm Mist Humidifer
I've had this humidifier for about 2 weeks now and I love it so far. I keep it on high so the tank only lasts about 12 hours but that's fine with me.
