Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Running quietly and efficiently, this fully portable humidifier effectively humidifies rooms up to 900 square feet. Its airflow system is 20-percent quieter than other humidifiers, and its programmable Accuset Plus digital humidistat is easy to use and offers added control. With a 1-1/5-gallon tank capacity, the unit is able to produce up to 4 gallons of moisture per day to improve the quality and comfort of air in the home. Water travels through a circular wick filter that traps minerals and impurities before a cool invisible mist is fanned out from the top grill. An ionization process cleans the air, while CarbonX filter technology helps reduce odors. Both the humidifier and the filter come with three-stage Microban protection, ensuring that bacteria, mold, and mildew are inhibited from growing. The base is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning when needed. The humidifier measures approximately 16 by 14 by 12 inches.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice features - if they worked, December 21, 2004

This review is from: Holmes HM7306-U 4-Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)

Feature set is very appealing, quiet fan, automatic humidistat, carbon filters, air ionizer. Unfortunately the automatic humidistat is flawed, we returned it and got a new one and it still has the same problem. When it reaches the desired humidity it shuts off - but then if it instantly ducks below that number it instantly turns back on - and off - and on...you get the picture. Imagine having a machine in your room that turns on and off 10+ times a minute - not conducive for sleep.

Other than this fatal flaw it works great. It humidifies better than any of our other humidifiers, its quiet and easy to clean. If the above mentioned feature worked this would be a kick butt humidifier - but it doesn't. For the record, we have a Honeywell humidifier of the same size and with an automatic humidistat that doesn't have the same problem - we believe it's because the humidistat is more accurate and it has a built in 5% tolerance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a great product, despite Consumer Reports review, February 20, 2005

This review is from: Holmes HM7306-U 4-Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)

I agree with other reviewers about humidistat cycling on and off. I ended up not using the auto feature. Also, once the tank gets low, it starts to rattle a bit in the base and is no longer "whisper quiet." Finally, our house has old steam heat radiators and our room is 13x13 with 9 foot ceilings and the tank did not last the night during most of December and January when set to 40%. I did, however, find the replacement filters easily at Target. I would not recommend this humidifier.

This review is from: Holmes HM7306-U 4-Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier (Kitchen)

I bought this humidifier on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. It's easy enough to clean and handles hard water well. However, it is as loud as a box fan and it leaves a puddle underneath itself. In addition, filters for this model are somewhat hard to find. Most noticeable among this model's drawbacks is that it constantly flips on and off when you put it into automatic mode ("Accu-Stat"). My wife and I are going to return it and purchase a quieter, warm-mist humidifier with no filters to replace.
