Honeywell HCM-6011G QuietCare 9 Gallon Console Humidifier Customer Reviews

Comments about Honeywell HCM-6011G QuietCare 9 Gallon Console Humidifier:

This is the best performing humidifier I've ever used with one exception to my rave review. When filling the tanks you turn the tanks upside down in the sink. Someone decided, in all their wisdom, to have the tank top (now the bottom when sitting upside down) a curved surface so you can not sit the tank down in the sink and let it fill. You must hold the tank as it fills so it doesn't tip over. Didn't they ever real world test this?

I love this product! My skin was so dry and putting lotion on several times a day was not cutting it. Now, I leave the humidifier on while I sleep at night and my skin has never felt better! Not only does it keep my room cool and comfortable but I wake up feeling great.

Now that the kids are out of the house and it is just the two of us it is a constant battle to keep enough moisture in the air. Without additional help from a humidifier your nose and eyes are constantly dry and your nose will bleed in the winter. There isn't enough showering and humidity generation with just the two of us.

I had one of these and got two seasons out of it before the motor died. It was also a challenge to keep it clean so you don't poison yourself with mold. Constant cleaning and paying attention to the condition of the filter were just facts of life with this machine. It did do a decent job of adding humidity to the house during the winter months. I am now contemplating a built-in humidifier on my furnace v. replacing the one that died prematurely in my humble estimation.

Filling the tanks twice a day and listening to the drone of the motor while trying to watch TV or have a conversation over the motor noise drove me batty at times.

Comments about Honeywell HCM-6011G QuietCare 9 Gallon Console Humidifier:

It definitely increases the humidity in a large room, but it is very loud. So loud that I stopped using it at night as it disturbs my sleep. I also stopped using it when I'm home watching TV, because its so loud I have to turn the TV volume up so I can hear it. Bottom line, it's too loud for me to use.
Overall I'm very disappointed.

I use this humidifier as a whole floor humidifier. I like that it is quiet. It does a fine job. It was advertised as running for 24 hours and I find that I go through the whole water supply in about 8 hours so do end up filling it twice a day. that part I don't like.
