Most helpful customer reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Love this humidifier By Rhonda Lea Kirk Fries I recently purchased two of these on sale at Target. I thought the second one was defective because it made strange noises, but it turned out that the bookcase on which I placed it wasn't stable. Moved to a level surface, it works perfectly. Today, the other one leaked, but only because I'd splashed water into the housing when I filled it. After draining, cleaning and re-assembly, it also worked perfectly. The other reviewers seem not to have read the instruction booklet, because this is the easiest humidifier in the world to care for. If you clean the parts in the dishwasher (no detergent, no heat dry), the only other thing you need to do is wipe down the interior of the housing. As to the demineralization cartridges, you need never replace them if you purchase a blank cartridge (available from kaz.com or honeywellcomfort.com) and use only distilled water. (I suppose you could indefinitely use the cartridge that it came with if you're using distilled water.) While the motor is quiet (if installed correctly--which the manual emphasizes more than once), the "waterfall" makes the sort of noise one would expect--not too loud, but ever-present. I find it relaxing, but if absolute quiet is required, then it will be a disappointment. I plan to buy another of these for my daughter and grandson, because I've never been happier with a humidifier. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very Misleading By K. Johnson I bought this to put in my daughters room. It is labled Small, for room size. It says "quiet operation" and "no filters to replace". Not so. It's quiet if you are at a bus station, or are considerably deaf. At night, in a small child's room, it Buzz's like Mr. Lightyear and makes TINKLING noise as the water is streamed through the device. In addition it has a BLUE LIGHT that you cannot turn off. WHile there is no "filter" it does require you to buy and replace a "Demineralization" cartridge every 20-30 fillings. What's the difference? I still have to buy and replace parts. I like that the component parts fit in my dishwasher but I don't like that there are 7 or 8 different pieces and there are 3 cleaning schedules in the operation book. Descaling, cleaning and bleaching. The fan is noisy and the "waterfall" is loud. Forget it. I'm going back to Walgreens and getting the one I bought my other daughter. It's silent, no filters, no cartridges, and optional lighting. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It gets the job done By J. Brand Our Angelcare Angelcare Baby Movement and Sound Monitor, Blue baby monitor alarm went off one night because my baby wasn't breathing enough (has to breathe at least every 20 seconds). It was because he was so congested. But, he was not sick at all. So, we bought this unit for his room a week ago. Not thrilled about it. If it was in my bedroom I would hate it. But, it is in my baby's room instead. He likes the white noise it generates and the blue light is okay in there. The box says "virtually silent" - um, not so much. I can not help but to hear it 20 feet away (like an annoying fan running). I think the blue light is to help kill off bacteria or something in the water. It is quieter than the Honeywell cool mist humidifier in my room but we are used to that noise. We have been using the old Honeywell for over 7 years. I would buy another one of those if I could. There are 2 things I do not like about it. 1.) it makes the carpet around it moist so we put a plastic boot tray down to capture the mist. And, 2.) it is foggy in our house now on both the 1st and 2nd floors. It goes away a little bit after we turn the unit off. The other day I refilled it (super easy) and it wouldn't put out any mist. A little shaking is all it took. It apparently had an air bubble. See all 5 customer reviews...
