Holmes HM630-U Cool Mist Humidifier - 1 gal Tank

I've had the older version for years and bought two new ones three months ago. In dry climate like AZ, works great. Ups humidity and also cleans air. I like the very slight hum at night, so my sleep is not disturbed. Turn on about 10:30P every night. Older version, not Holmes ( but now owned by Holmes) lasted 7 - 8 years.

Had humidifier for over three years before fan became noisy and then quit. Replaced with same model and is very quiet. Because of shape, tank can be a little awkward to fill but you soon get the hang of it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We owned the Bonaire model BCM658 previously which served us well for several years but the same replacement was not available. This Holmes model has definitely met up to our expectations and at a great price! We're glad we opted to get the white model because it is much easier to see when the water level is very low which was difficult with our previous black one.

To refill you need to tip over and the tall base does not fit under a standard sink, so it is awkward to refill using hand held sprayer. After a week it simply stopped working. No power and unable to get fixed. For the one week it was working it was limited (3 settings, need to press the power button to change settings) - not like my other Holmes that is for sure. Sorry to see the quality not here.

This was the second humidifier I bought at the same time, and it is performing very well. The only issue that's not obvious from the initial specifications is that it needs **2** filters - that only gets mentioned in the FAQ. Apart from that, a good unit (until something breaks and then I'm out of luck with all of the negative answers to people needing replacement parts - poor product management to not carry spares.)
