Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630
Customer Review: It works, but not the best
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall this product is okay. I would recommend buyers continue to look at other products. The tank says it is 3 gallons, but the water container is too small- I have to fill it 3-4 times a day. The water container is a bad design. Also the humidifier setting is junk- it is nearly impossible to set the humidity level you want. If I were to buy a humidifier again I may buy this product, but I think buyers would be happier with another product. I have had this product for about 3 weeks.Customer Review: 3 strikes
Summary: 2 Stars
Perhaps I misread the advertisements but it does not shut off when empty. A big negative in my book. Also the water container doesn't stand up when being filled - so it takes 2 hands - one for support and the other to put the top back on (which seems to leak if I'm not very careful about replacing it). An older Honeywell 500 series model has none of these problem. It isn't particularly quiet in my opinion. So while I'd probably buy another Honeywell I would not buy this one.Customer Review: WAY too loud
Summary: 1 Stars
Even on the lowest setting this humidifier is extremely noisy. I can hear it in the whole house. The water tank is hard to fill because the top (which becomes the surface it sits on during filling) is curved, so you can't just set it in the sink to fill it - you have to hold it. What I do like about it is that you don't see the mist coming out. I know it's working because the water level is going down. Despite this, it's just way too loud, so it's going back to the store.Customer Review: Rated #9 in Dehumidifiers
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a very similar model, and it doesn't put out much moisture. It works by wicking water up into a filter that is probably 36 square inches of exposure. The tank doesn't hold a lot of water and is designed so when you're filling it, you have to balance it in the sink instead of having a surface that could just sit upright.
A cheap fan completes the poor design and operation of this unit.
Maybe that's why it's rated so highly as a 'dehumidifier'.
Customer Review: Cool Moisture is nice, but otherwise I don't recommend it
Summary: 2 Stars
I've owned this product for over a year, and I have to concur with some of the other reviewers. Even when I change the filter to a fresh one, the air that it emits has a moldy that I can get rid of (i.e., you can't clean the fan, at least very easily).
You do need to fill the machine at least once a day too, and the design of the water carrier is silly (i.e., it won't hold upright on its own when you are filling it). Still on the search for a good humidifier!
