Humidifier that actually humidifies

Review Date: March 6, 2007

Reviewer: Minoesje,

I have gone through quite a few humidifiers. I had one like this before, after a few years it gave in because I never cleaned it (shame on me). Then I tried a few ultrasonic (ultraexpensive) humidifiers, which really hardly bring the humidity up (I have a hygrometer). So I decided to buy this one again, and am as happy as with the first one. If you want your room to increase in humidity, forget about those ultrasonics and go for this one. Cheap and good.

Great humidifier for its price

Review Date: October 22, 2007

Reviewer: Greenblat,

I have been looking for a warm air purifier for some time (prefer warm air for safety reasons (avoids mould and airborn particles)). Warm air models range to well over $100. I decided to try this unit because it is cheap and has a large water tank.

I would highly recommend this unit for the price. It has two steam settings (high and low). It has an aromatherapy dispenser. It is easy to refill. It works really well actually.

Some previous posts have indicated that the unit may not last for years and years because of its construction. True, it is not built like a tank. However, for its price I think you would struggle to do better.

same product as honeywell humidifier hwm-910 but $5 cheaper

Review Date: November 22, 2009

Reviewer: localsurf, Colorado United States

We have tried all kinds of humidifiers - ultrasonic, blowers, etc. Tried higher priced honeywell model (Honeywell HWM450 Quick Steam Warm Moisture Humidifier) - which works fine, but is noisy steamy noise.

We originally bought the Honeywell HWM-910 through Target around 2003 and liked it so much and went and bought two more. My wife threw out several of them when I didn't clean out the heating unit (even though I could of cleaned it and kept on using it. I had left them sitting in garage over the summer and looked like trash to her). Next spring, I'll clean them out and put them in nice storage box!

Found having two of them in the bedroom at low setting was perfect - got the volume of humidity and didn't have to refill them at night...lasts I think at least 12 hours at the low setting.

I have been spending quite a bit of time researching the different humidifiers available.

The Duracraft DWM250 is the same product as the Honeywell HWM-910 but is about $5 less and through Amazon comes with free shipping if you buy over $25. The cheapest Honeywell HWM-910 is $36.50 (with shipping factored in) when you buy from Amazon affiliate. Given it's the same product and manufacturer and just a different marketing brand logo of Duracraft instead of Honeywell, I choose the Duracraft model (saving over $11.50 per order). I just bought 3 more of the Duracraft humidifiers and I expect them to last for years. We live in semi-arid environment and in the winter the humidity is very low.

We'll plan on turning down the heat to rest of the house and use these to keep us warm and comfortable humidity level while sleeping.

I checked wikipedia and it talks about Honeywell brand and Kaz company and Duracraft which are just marketing brands of the same product.

If anyone finds a better combination of value and performance, I'll consider another brand/model in future, but for now I think the time I spent into researching is paying off. Just wanted to stop getting products that go to the landfill much too quickly and get some value.

You can always buy extra water tanks and pre-fill them and leave them in room if you want to replace the water at night but not bother to refill (if you use only one humidifier at high setting). It is $15.99 ($19.94 with shipping, so probably makes sense to just buy another humidifier at less than $25)

Notice that this water tank can be used with both Duracraft DWM250 and Honeywell HWM-910.

BEST VALUE ON THE MARKET IN PORTABLE HUMIDIFICATION

Review Date: January 12, 2008

Reviewer: A. Dziennik, West Texas

After owning more than a dozen different types of hunmidifiers over the years this is the one I keep coming back to. It offers low purchase price and even lower maintenance cost than just about any other type you can find. Use of filtered water (like Brita, etc) will make the unit's heating element last much longer as minerals in water tend to collect on the element that does the heating thus causing the element to get coated and insulated. Using the filtered water reduces available minerals in water so unit works better for longer time. Regular cleaning of the element with vinegar will make it last even longer if you're so inclined. But for the low purchase price (less than some filter wicks on other types of humidifiers) one can afford to replace the unit more often. When I tried the type with wicks I had to replace wicks several times a winter at a cost of around $15.00 each which is more tha this unit costs. And this one will easily last longer than one winter if filtered water is used. So all in all this is a bargain and it works well.

A little marvel of engineering

Review Date: November 1, 2009

Reviewer: David M. Pierce,

This is not your mother's humidifier. Of course if, as a child, you enjoyed melting wax crayons in a noisy jet of superheated steam, you will be disappointed.

The air is dry here, and my wife and I would frequently awaken with dry, sore throats and sinus headaches. We decided to experiment with humidifying our bedroom. After researching the pros & cons of warm mist units vs cool mist units we decided on warm mist. We also factored in how much money we were willing to risk on this experiment (about twenty-five bucks).

I wish I could say that we have never had another sore throat or sinus headache since using this unit, but we are definitely more comfortable.

I am totally enamored of the thought and engineering that went into the creation of this inexpensive and helpful device. The only thing I am disappointed in is the listing of the unit as "2-1/2 Gallon". I think it is misleading. I think most consumers would assume that this refers to the reservoir capacity, which is actually 2-1/2 QUARTS (yes, I measured). All I can do is speculate on why this is labeled as it is. Nevertheless, on the "Low" setting it goes all night without needing refilling, with plenty left over. I haven't needed to run it all night on "High" so I can't offer any comments on run-time in that setting. If you fill the heating chamber tray before you set the reservoir in place, you can get more operating time out of the unit.

This unit is pretty quiet - the sound of a little water boiling, and an occasional burble as water from the reservoir recharges the heating chamber. We are completely satisfied with this unit.
