Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hunter 33257 Carefree Humidifier Plus with Permawick
Customer Review: customer service...a joke
Summary: 1 Stars
Last year I got this humidifier because I was tired of paying for a new filter every month or two. It seemed to work fine for that season. This fall I set it up, turned it on, and nothing happened. After going through troubleshooting with Hunter they determined that the motor burned out (apparently a common problem with these if you read over the rest of the reviews). Since it was still under warranty they said they would send another one out free of charge and it should arrive in 7-14 days.
That was 2 months ago and still no unit!!!!
I have called them back several times and each time they look it up, say "oh, it must have gotten lost," and enter a new replacement order. I now have three different reference numbers, and neither of them has resulted in the replacement unit they promised. Stay away!!!!
Customer Review: Hunter Care Free, It Died
Summary: 2 Stars
After two short winter seasons, which included "as perscribed" cleaning practices, the motor died. The warrantee, according to the vendor, is one year so "your out of luck". Customer Review: 3 STRIKES...HUNTER'S OUT!!!

Please think twice before purchasing one of these "Care-Free" humidifiers for your home. The concept of the machine is great however after having 3 of them and having all 3 of the motors "burn out" I will never buy a Hunter product again. The last one I got lasted only 2 months before it died. I am just thankful I was home every time that this happened and I was able to quickly unplug them.
A total waste of money and Hunter's customer service department is the worst! Never again for me...
Customer Review: Straight and to the point .....

If you need a machine with a fan so loud that it helps mask the horns 12 floors below (I live in NYC), and a water basin and filter than need constant attention (cleaning) this is the machine for you.Customer Review: smells horrendous
Summary: 1 Stars
about 2 months after we purchased this humidifier, it started to smell awful. We soaked the "care free" filter in lysol to try to kill whatever it was that was growing in it; didnt work. still stinks. If "care free" means cleaning it with a toothbrush and it still stinks, then care free it is. I would probably burn this if I couldn't take it back so that no one else would try to use it. don't buy it. god only knows what kind of cooties it's aerosolizing into our bedroom. It's a health hazard waiting to happen. I would give it negative 5 stars.
