Customer Review: Best Humidifier I've Ever Owned!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely the best humidifier I've ever owned. It doesn't leave the floor and walls wet! I live in Alabama and in the winter, I usually have to refill it every to every day. In the summer it can be extremely humid here so it rarely runs. I read in one review where it was hard to refill the tank in the tub since you have to turn the tank upside down to refill it, but I've never had a problem refilling the tank. I love the fact that you can put the tank in the dishwasher. As far as the sound, I usually have mine set on the lowest speed which is quiet. On the highest speed, it's about as loud as having an osculating fan going in your room. Some people might like it because it drowns out all white noise. All I can say is....My skin isn't dry anymore..My sinuses are open and my lips are no longer chapped!!!!!! I would highly recommend the TrueAir Cool Mist Humidifier to anyone!!!! Did I mention this humidifier was suppose to be for my daughter but after using it in my bedroom, I decided I needed it more. I'm going to be purchasing another one for my daugther's room!Customer Review: A very nice unit at any price
Summary: 4 Stars
EDIT - the humidistat stopped working during the 2nd season of use. I would now rate this 2 stars.
This is an excellent humidifier, especially for the price. It's very quiet. A filter typically lasts almost an entire season here in dry Arizona (usually October til April or whenever we turn the swamp cooler back on). It keeps our 3 back bedrooms humidified nicely just as long as you don't open the windows of course. I only fill it up every other day at most during driest times (outside humidity = 9% today!)
The only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is that the humidistat failed after 3 years of use. From my experience with these types of units 3 years is pretty good service and at this price it's really fantastic. I'm about to purchase another one...
Customer Review: very good unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular humidifier, and I am glad we got the one we did. It is very quiet, it seems to be made very well, and is relatively sturdy. When the weather gets dry, our entire house is way too dry. Skin, furniture, houseplants...I talked my husband into trying this humidifier, and have to recommend it highly. I'd buy another just like it if I had use for another one, but this pretty much does the whole house. Hamilton Beach is still a good name.Customer Review: Convenient and effective!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two different humidifiers- a Slant/Fin warm mist and this True Air. Although we really like our Slant/Fin for the baby's room, this unit is much easier to clean. It is rather noisy when the water tray is filling (it makes a glugging sound that sounds like someone knocking on your window in the middle of the night- spooky!), but for ease of use and maintenance, it can't be beat. The noise factor is less when you put it in "quiet" mode and after a dy or so, you just get used to it. We have VERY hard water and the filters don't need to be changed as often as with most humidifiers which is a long-run cost savings. I recommend this item and have done the research- replacment filters are cheapest through Amazon (cheaper than at the manufacturers website). Customer Review: Works Great! Just what I wanted...
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading all the mixed reviews on this product, I bought it anyway as it seemed the best deal for the amount of space I needed to humidify (1100- 1200 sf). I was pregnant and it was winter and I was getting pretty dehydrated from the drying heat in my apartment. Within days I was sleeping soundly waking refreshed and no longer having headaches. I would have given this 5 stars but it's the first I bought and I cannot make any comparisons.
I am not sure what the reviewers that reviewed this product badly expected, having to refill it often just means that it is putting a lot of moisture into the air, the noise is not overwhelming and is similar to any white noise often used to put and keep kids asleep, I had no problem refilling it, my 2 year-old even liked to help, finally if you turn the filters faithfully once a week 2-3 filters should last the season.
