4 out of 5 stars better than I had hoped   September 30, 2008

I got this unit to replace an older model that had stopped. This unit so far two months in is almost perfect. It runs smooth and quiet. Filling is easy and only uses 3/4 tank at nite right now(sept. in Phx). My only issue is you have to twist on the cap hard to keep it from dripping when you carry it back to install it after filling.

We bought this last winter after our family was suffering bloody noses and sinus pain due to the dryness in our home. br / br /We happen to like the fan noise, but we have always used a fan to help us stay asleep. I can see where it would be annoying to those not used to the white noise. br / br /Found this to be the best value out there and even with our hard water we have used this humidifier with no ill effects. We will be changing the filter for the first time when we restart the unit this month. The Protec cartridges can be found in a big box store for a reasonable price.

Love this product. I use a 2 humidifiers year round, 24/7 due to asthma triggered by hot dry air. Many reviewers have complained about the fan noise. It is not ultrasonic so it does have a fan. However, the fan is a smooth noise with three settings, and the humidistat works 100 times better than the one on my former Bionaire humidifier. It is much quieter than the Bionaire and it works quickly. That means the fan comes on, puts out needed moisture and then turns off as soon as your desired humidity setting is reached. It doesn't turn off and on every 15 seconds like the annoying Bionaire did. Very little cleaning required with Protec and filtered H20 (no minerals) water. In short, It is much quieter and MUCH more efficient than other top brands I've used. Also less expensive. As soon as my other Bionaire goes, I will buy this one again from Amazon.

It's a bit loud but seems ok for it's price. Haven't had the need to change the filter till now, but when it comes time to change the filter I may need to reconsider continuing to use this humidifier.


4 out of 5 stars Not quiet, but otherwise quite good   March 12, 2008

Although the "QuietCare" name is a joke, the HCM650 is a good humidifier, and we have found that it's benefits outweigh the noise, especially if you turn it down to low or medium at night. The tank is large enough to keep it running for about 24 hours, and we highly recommend using filtered (or distilled) water instead of plain tap water to keep the filter from getting clogged with mineral deposits. Even so, you should expect to replace the filter every 3-6 weeks, so be sure to buy some HAC-504 replacement filters so you won't run out.
