Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Honeywell QuietCare Cool-Moisture Humidifier, 3-Gallon, HCM-630
Customer Review: humidifier
Summary: 5 Stars
i received the humidifier within 3 days, it it wonderful and a great company to work withCustomer Review: Works as Expected
Summary: 4 Stars
It was difficult to select my first humidifier after reading all the good/bad reviews on various models. I picked Honeywell after doing research online and speaking to friends.
PROS: Great for occasional use so I don't really have to refill it much. I only use it for sleeping and prefer the low fan speed which really is quiet. Sturdy and simple design. Price. I didn't want to spend more than $50-60. Protek balls are inexpensive and don't rack up the bill if you use the humidifier less frequently. I prefer the smaller water tank as it's easier to carry when it's full. Easy to clean.
CONS: Humidstat doesn't work well in the bedrooms. The humidifier rarely shuts off when a lower setting is selected. Need to buy a hygrometer to check humidity level. I empty out the whole unit when it's not in use. It's very easy to spill water out of the base when you pick it up. Need to be careful that the water tank is sealed properly before usage and that you don't drop it!
Customer Review: Quiet Care Humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
The humidifier does run quietly. It comes apart easily for cleaning - three pieces to be exact. The only drawback with this humidifier is the humidistat. It's mounted above the motor that gets warm after running for a while. After turning off, the warmth of the motor prematurely turns the humidifier back on making the room more humid. They should have isolated the humidistat from the motor and have it ventilated to the outside. I have a Slant/Fin GF-300 warm mist humidifier that has the same problem (till I removed the humidistat entirely from the case). Now it's working far more accurately with the humidistat installed in it's own ventilate box, wired up with a male plug (plugged into an outlet) and a female outlet to plug in the warm mist humidifier into. Will have to purchase a separate humidistat & have this Honeywell HCM-630 plugged into it for more precise humidity control. Otherwise it runs very well and quietly. I only use the lower speed as it's more quiet and uses less energy.Customer Review: Good product, misleading on Capacity, but improved tank design
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased 2 HCM-630 humidifiers on the basis of the reviews. It works very well, quiet enough for me. However, there is very misleading information on the tank capacity -all the indications are that it hold 3 gallons-NO! (I got the information from Matt of Kaz, Inc. help desk) On the cover of the Owner's Manual it states "3 US Gallons (11.3 Liters) OUTPUT PER DAY"! It is suppose to put out 3 gallons of mist a day, but the tank holds only 1.5 Gallons! That was the answer to why I had to refill it so often.
Pros - works very well,quiet,and really puts out the moisture without any of the white residue.
Cons - misleading water capacity and need to refill often.
PRO - By the way, Kaz-Honeywell has redesigned the water tank so the top is more flat (they responded to customer complaints?) and can be held on a surface while refilling. Also, I think the flatter design has increased the tank capacity.
Yes, I recommend it.
Customer Review: Generally ok
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in S. Carolina in winter and this humidifier is fine for the light humidification I need. Recently purchased two more for my Illinois home for the fall needs. I was used to the noise of my console humidifiers and quite pleased to have no distracting noise at the low levels I use in my small apt. My only complaint is in the filling, that its curved top does not allow it to sit in the sink when I fill it. The upside is that it is small, compact, and looks good, and I have found a way round the awakward filling problem. Its tank is not as large as stated, buyers should be warned. I dont believe it is even 2 gallons, but I fill only twice, night and again in the morning, and it is less weight to tote. B.B
