Amazon.com Review
For arid climates or the dry cold days of winter, running a steam humidifier indoors often protects the inhabitants' skin from chapping or itching, allows stressed lungs to breathe with comfort, and infuses moisture into the room to the benefit wooden furniture, upholstery, and houseplants to prevent them from becoming brittle or parched. Honeywell created their Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier for all of these purposes and more, enhancing a room's humidity in record speed.

Best suited for rooms up to 1400 square feet in size, the humidifier's heater is crafted in stainless steel for quick heat production and trouble-free cleaning. The compact humidifier outputs 4 gallons of warm steam for each full tank of water. This humidifier offers users a timer function for running the unit for preset periods, ranging from an hour to the maximum 18-hour setting. Digital controls and the easy-to-read LCD screen enable users to alter or monitor current preference settings. A medicine cup allows users to run the humidifier as a vaporizer for stuffed noses, sore throats and other respiratory illnesses. An automatic shutdown feature reduces safety hazards. Humidifier water should be changed frequently and the tank washed well each week to prevent bacteria, mold, and other impurities from developing, though the heating process should kill many of these unhealthy particles. As with any electrical home device, read all manufacturer guidelines and instructions prior to use. This humidifier measures 15.55 by 14.57 by 10.24 inches and weighs 6 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Very nice May 5, 2008
This is my third humidifier in two seasons. I couldn't live with the noise of the cool-mist humidifiers!

For the price it works very nicely even for relatively large sized rooms. Scale is an issue, and the mineral pads help (which by the way are quite cheap), but I still had to hookup a wire brush with my dremel to scrub the scale away every weekend. I guess you can't get a good humidifer without any issues (noise, mold, white dust, scale etc). For me, this worked out the best among all options.

Terrible Product May 4, 2008
I have owned two of these over the last year and they both broke through normal use. The problems occur in the electronics. Try a different brand -- these are a waste of money.

Excellent--when it works! April 28, 2008
I used this humidifier for a little less than a month when it just stopped working. Amazon was excellent in replacing it immediately; however, the replacement worked for approximately two months. It also just stopped working. Amazon wouldn't replace it a second time and actually sent me an e-mail saying they are experiencing too many problems with this humidifier. Honeywell replaced it for me; I can't say how well the 3rd one works as I haven't used it yet since the winter months are over. I love this humidifier when it works; but unfortunately, that only happens for a very short period of time from my experience. There is some inherent problem with this product; although I asked Honeywell about their experience with returns and what kind of problem it has, I never did get an answer. I would love to recommend this product, but I can't as there is no longevity to it all.

The product is really useful in cool weather April 25, 2008
I really like to use this product. It gives double benefits. First, I makes the room moisture and warmer, secondly it minimizes the chance of getting influenza (caused by the warm moist)

If you have hard water - beware! April 19, 2008
I bought this humidifier for my 1,400 square foot (extremely dry) condo, figuring it should be able to handle it without a problem. It performed as expected, except for two problems:

1) I have VERY hard water, lots of minerals in it. Within 3 weeks the minerals in the water had returned to their natural state and formed a lovely rock-like substance on the heating plate. To remove it required vinegar and an evening with no plans.

2) The specs claim to be able to do 1,400 square feet. Don't believe that. It ran 24/7 and struggled to get the humidity over 30%. I had to fill it 2x a day every day. With its power consumption to boil the water it added a shockingly hefty amount to my electric bill.

In conclusion - it performed to its specs (mostly), though it wasn't able to handle the environment I put it in. If you have good water and a smaller area, it should work, otherwise don't bother. I had mine for 6 weeks, gave it to my parents, and bought a larger evaporative wick style which works perfectly for me.
