Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With its variable humidity control and two power settings, this Holmes ultrasonic humidifier makes a home more comfortable year-round. The unit features a 1-1/2-gallon tank, which removes for filling and has an adjustable mist outlet so you can aim it where you please. The mist is soft, cool, and visible, and the dial control on the base lets you set to a light flow or a full blast. All the water that the humidifier emits travels first through a compact filter system to help keep impurities out of the air. Depending on output setting and air condition, the humidifier can run up to 30 hours on one tank and output a maximum of 2.8 gallons per day. Its assembly and operation is straightforward, thanks to basic controls, a large-grip tank handle, and a power indicator light. Designed for up to a 650-square-foot room, the machine comes with Microban anti-microbial construction to help combat mold, mildew, and bacteria. It measures 11 by 5-3/4 by 13-1/2 inches and carries a 2-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Humidifies the floor, not the air,
By
This review is from: Holmes HM485-U2 Ultrasonic Humidifier (Kitchen)
I originally bought this humidifier because it was smaller than the Bemis humidifier I already owned and because it runs quietly (I wanted to keep it in the bedroom to run at night). While the unit fit nicely in the small space I had available for it, and while it was indeed very quiet, the mist this humidifier produces did not disperse into the air but instead fell to the floor--and soaked it. I tried it in three places: first on the floor in my bedroom (where I'd kept the other humidifier I was using), next on my nighttable, and finally on a table in my living room over a hardwood floor (in the hopes that a less absorbent surface would be less likely to soak up the mist). In all three cases, the result was the same: a puddle on the floor beneath the unit. I returned it today and bought a second Bemis humidifier to replace it.

Piece of Junk,
This review is from: Holmes HM485-U2 Ultrasonic Humidifier (Kitchen)
I bought this item and and was initally happy but after less than a month of use it stopped providing mist. I bought another as a replacement and it was dead out of the box. I called Holmes to have them replaced and they wanted me to pay $20 to have them replace THEIR defective products. After much annoyance they waived that fee and told me my replacements would be shipped in TWO months. Are you kidding me!!!. The product is a piece of junk and the company apparently doesn't care about customer service. If I never buy another piece of #@%^#$ from Holmes again it will be too soon!

I Don't Recommend This Unit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Holmes HM485-U2 Ultrasonic Humidifier (Kitchen)
It is pretty quiet and puts out a considerable amount of mist. But there are problems.1) Despite the fact that it comes with a demineralization cartridge that is supposed to eliminate white dust, there is white dust all over my furniture, and especially electrontic equipment. 2) The unit is designed with many nooks and crannies that make it quite difficult to clean. And you will have to clean it regularly, since brownish gunk accumulates frequently. 3) The opening to fill the water tank is too small to insert a normal sized hand, so it is impossible to wipe clean inside. 4) As other reviewers have noted, a lot of the mist simply falls to the ground around the unit. 5) Do not under any circumstances move the humidifier around while the tank is in place with water in it, or it is very easy for the water to overflow into the air vent and go down inside the base with the electrical components and short them out. This happened to me, and the unit promptly died.
