Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HONEYWELL HCM890 Cool Moisture Duracraft Humidifier
Customer Review: hcm890
Summary: 4 Stars
I am happy with this product. It is compact, inexpensive, easy to use, and good for a small to medium sized home.
Excellent for people with allergies, sinus congestion, and dry eyes or skin.
I haven't had any issues handling the water tank, as noted in another review. Also, as soon as the filled water tank is set into place, the water is allowed to drain into the filter housing where the filter can automatically suck up the water. Therefore it does not seem necessary to wet the filter beforehand. My item did not come with the manufacture's instructions so I am not sure if this is recommended.
I recommend placing the humidifier in the desired location before filling the water tank because water may seep out if held at an angle. I also recommend carrying from the base because the water tank and filter housing are on separate, removable sides.
The replacement filters cost about $10 each.
Customer Review: Very poorly designed
Summary: 1 Stars
Be warned, this is a very poorly designed product.
1) The handle for the tank is on the bottom. That means you need to set it down to fill it, or hold it by the side of the slippery plastic. I dropped my tank 2 days after purchasing the unit because of this. It shattered and I had to order another for $20.
2) The filter only works if it's wet. That means if you turn the unit off during the day, you need to soak the filter before turning the unit on again. What a pain.
I'm returning mine as soon as I can.
Customer Review: Buy a Better Humidifier
Summary: 2 Stars
Drawbacks:
1. The fan is loud, even on "low."
2. The filters get moldy in about a month. They cost $10 to replace. The cleaning cartridges are ineffective.
Positives:
1. Runs 18-24 hours on a tank of water.
My advice is to spend a few bucks more and get a warm air humidifier that doesn't use filters.
