Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630
Customer Review: This is a pretty good humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had Many humidifiers over the last decade. This one is a little smaller than I've had in the past, but it will last all night on on filling. We only use it at night and fill it every day. The humidity comes out the side and not the top, so we had to set it up on a dresser instead of on the floor and it lets the fan blow into the room much better from a higher position. It is fairly quiet, but not that quite. I personally cannot sleep without some noise from the humidifier so I did not want it to be silent. All in all pretty good. Have not had it long enough to replace the filter yet.Customer Review: MOLD!!! MOLD!!! MOLD!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a stupid, idiotic design shared by all Honeywell CoolMoisture products. The fan sucks humid air through the fan turbine and the parts of the machine that are not accessible for cleaning. In a couple of months of use mold grows all over the inside, including the fan turbine blades. De-molding it is nearly impossible. So, great, now instead of breathing dry clean air you breathe moist air with mold spores.
I just cant figure out why the designers did not reverse the air flow, so that humid air goes through fewer parts so that when mold grows you can clean in easily.
Customer Review: One terrible piece of equipment
Summary: 1 Stars
What a very poor excuse for a humidifier. It is very noisy even on low fan speed. The air is very cold and damp that comes out of it. I literally hate this piece of junk. I thought I was ordering a warm mist unit like the ones I have had in the past from Honeywell, which were fantastic. What a big waste of money, nothing but aggrivation. I feel like throwing this junk away. Now I have to spend more money trying to find what I thought I was buying. SHAME ON AMAZON FOR MISREPRESENTATION OF THIS UNIT AND NOT SELLING THE BEST ONES THAT HONEYWELL MAKES.Customer Review: Water tank...bad design
Summary: 2 Stars
Someone wrote here that the water tank is a problem to fill. It is. It is heavy and awkward. And if you are not extremely careful, when water get on the outside, very slippery. I found out just how awkward when I dropped it. Broke the tank and cannot find a replacement. VERY BAD DESIGN.
BTW, someone was also complaining about finding filter at Home Depot. I bought my unit at Target. They do (sometimes) have filters for the unit.
If there were not problems with the tank I would rate this unit highly. Works well. Is quite.
Customer Review: Short product life
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this humidifier last year. After only 1 year of use, the water tank developed a crack along the bottom seam. When I contacted the manufacturer regarding a warranty claim, I was told that after 1 year's use, it was considered a normal wear and tear issue not covered by the product's 5 year warranty! To purchase a replacement tank, the cost would be $20 + $6.95 s/h. Obviously, not worth it. Just go out and buy an entirely new unit. Otherwise, it's a good little humidifier - just realize that it's lifespan probably isn't more than one year!
