Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Suitable for up to 700 square feet, this humidifier from Holmes emits gentle clouds of warm mist to soothe the agitating effects of overly dry air. Adjustable and easy to use, the unit features a 1.8-gallon tank that is easy to remove, carry, and fill. The unit can run up to 24 hours on one tank and has a maximum output of 3 gallons per day. Two speed settings and a dial-controlled humidistat--ranging from 25 to 65 percent humidity--let you tailor output to your needs. Tidily stored underneath the water tank, a water filter helps trap minerals and deposits, so that the mist emitted is as clean as possible. Other helpful structural details include automatic safety shut-off, a dishwasher-safe tray, power and reset lights, and a locking mechanism on the motor housing. Holmes also builds in a petite medicine cup for use with designated humidifier medications. Throughout the unit, Microban anti-microbial protection helps fight bacteria, mold, and mildew between cleanings. Assembled, the humidifier measures approximately 14 by 10-1/4 by 12 inches. It carries a three-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Works great when you read the directions,
By Amazon Customer (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holmes HM5601-UC Warm Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)
We purchased this for a vacation home in an arid climate. I got it, filled it, turned it on, and nothing happened. Then I read the short instruction booklet. Duh. It works great. The unit works fine, shuts off when its supposed to and operates quiet enough for a bedroom. You get a full night out of one fill. We also own a Honeywell product, and it operates in a similar fashion. If you don't clean these products regularly, you'll have problems. The manufacturer recommends doing this daily, but a quick clean out every few days works well. You'll be amazed at how much sediment builds up in such a short time. Note this is a humidifier, not a vaporizer. If you want to have damp air, consider a vaporizer.

Going strong after three winters of use,

This review is from: Holmes HM5601-UC Warm Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)
Here is my original review from December 31, 2004: I was leary about purchasing this model after reading the negative reviews...but decided it was worth a try for the price. I hadn't planned to buy a warm mist humidifier, but I was attracted to the idea of having warm vs. cold air given that we live in an older, drafty house in a cold climate. I purchased two for my kids' bedrooms about three weeks ago and so far they work great. For people concerned about the noise factor, the machine itself is very quiet -- no motor or fan. However, you can indeed hear the water "gurgling" away, especially at the high setting. This is less of an issue at the low setting, and not a problem for us -- we haven't found the noise to be disturbing.A minor negative is the somewhat confusing instructions (I have yet to understand how the "reset" setting on the control knob should be used). But the machines seem to be working even with my bypassing that step! Another minor irritant: although the unit is advertised as running up to 24 hours on one filling, we have found that water needs to be added after about 18 hours, even when running at the lower speed. This could, however, reflect our horribly dry air. Since we don't usually run the units all day long, it's not been a big problem. The major plusses include ease of cleaning, relatively compact size, relatively quiet operation, the two speeds, and adjustable humidistat (I do wish, however, that the machine provided a numerical reading of the humidity level in the room, but you can't have everything, right?). I plan to buy two more, including one for my office at work. Update on March 11, 2007: After 3 winters of use, my three Holmes humidifiers are still going strong. I will point out that my Mom had less success with hers -- the tank leaked, as others have described. But no complaints from me.

I changed my mind.,
By Buffy (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holmes HM5601-UC Warm Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)
When I first got this humidifier I thought it was defective because it kept shutting down and I would have to reset it. NOW I figured out what the problem was. AFTER YOU FILL THE TANK YOU SHOULD WAIT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE TURNING IT ON UNTIL THE WATER IN THE TANK FILLS THE SECTION WHERE THE HEATING ELEMENT IS. Otherwise the humidifier shuts off because it "thinks" it ran out of water. That must be a small design flaw. But now I have no problem with it's performance.Also the shape of the water tank is a little unusual and you must be certain to make sure it is properly in place. I do like that it can run for so long without the need to refill so often and it does not need a filter.
