Keep your home properly hydrated with Honeywell's HCM-6009 9-gallon-output-per-day humidifier, which is designed for rooms up to 2300 square feet. A humidifier is helpful in introducing moisture to your home in order to help you avoid dry skin, chapped lips, dry nasal passages and static electricity as well as keep your wood floors and furnishings in good shape.
Easy to clean, carry and fill, the HCM-6009 runs up to 24 hours on one filling. This QuietCare model has a fan that blows out invisible, moisture-balanced air, and is 30 percent quieter than other models. It features an Air Washing pre-filter that helps to trap dust, dirt and pollen before it enters the main filter.
The Protec cleaning cartridge helps reduce mineral build-up, while the antimicrobial-treated filter helps prevent the growth and migration of mold, fungus, algae and bacteria on the filter--both contributing to a fresher, cleaner mist and extend filter life. Other features include a 3-1/4-gallon tank capacity, 9 gallons of humidity output per day, 3 moisture output settings, adjustable humidity control, and automatic shut-off. The HCM-6009 comes with caster wheels for easy movement around your home. It measures 21 by 17-1/2 by 13 inches (WxHxD), is backed by a 3-year warranty, and uses HC-14 replacement filters.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Form and function pros and cons,
By Jay L. Knyal (Arlington Heights, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Output Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology (Kitchen)
I really debated about giving this item three or four start. I decided on four because bottom line it does a good job getting moisture in the air and some design items work well. For instance, it is on wheels so it is easy to move and the water fill containers are manageable. They had the forsight to make two instead of one and the handles are comfortable.
Now for some negatives. At the highest setting, it is still pretty loud. I live in a condo so, if I'm watching TV I usually keep it on the second highest setting or wear headphones and keep it at the highest setting. Here is another noise issue- when it starts getting empty, a loud humm starts up. Another thing I don't like is that you can't control or see what the humidity level is- it just kicks out. I think this feature is available on a higher model but it seems like it should be available on this one for the price they are asking. Probably the biggest issue I have with this unit is that it has a side discharge for air rather than through the top like most units. This is an issue for me because when I watch TV I usually sit on the floor (TV over a fireplace would never work for me) and this unit blows COLD AIR out and it is quite uncomfortable. You could make the argument to move it somewhere else, but for maximum benefit you should keep it where you spend most of your time. So ther you have it. I probably should give it three stars but it does what its supposed to do well- with some design issues.

Terrible Product,
This review is from: Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Output Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology (Kitchen)
One might think from the product literature that you are buying a humidifier that has a 9 gallon water tank capacity. Not true. You are buying a humidifer that has the capacity to output 9 gallons of water per 24 hours. Since each water tank is only 1.5 gallons, this means you have to fill the tanks six times (three times each tank) to get the maximum output. Not very practical for a home humidifier.
To refill the water tanks you must turn them upside down. Unfortunately the bottom (i.e. the top turned upside down), is not flat. This requires a fair amount of juggling when you refill the tanks as they will not stand up by themselves. The engineer who designed this product must have missed the class on ergronomics. Since you can not see in the water tanks when they are in use, and there is no low water indicator on the machine, you can not judge how much water is left by looking. You have to pick up the tanks. Again ergronomically challenging. This product is very noisy on the high setting, similar to a window fan on high. Because the water tanks do not fit well, they vibrate when they are near empty. If you place this product on a wooden floor, it will warp the floor from the humidity. The product also leaks when you refill it. Best to pass this product by.

It works,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Output Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology (Kitchen)
First I went cheap and bought a small evaporative unit. The large filter was "permanent", but required occasional decaling and the small pump filter kept getting gummed up. I then purchased a warm mist unit, it worked at first and when required continuous use to barely maintain the proper humidity level. After got my electric bill, I stopped using it. Finally I purchased this unit. Works perfectly, keeps the house at the level I want (45%) and only automatically turn on when needed. The dual water tanks are also nice. I suggest you get a unit rated to at least double your home's square footage.
