Honeywell Easy-Care Cool Mist Filter Free Humidifier, HUT-200

Love this humidifier
I recently purchased two of these on sale at Target. I thought the second one was defective because it made strange noises, but it turned out that the bookcase on which I placed it wasn't stable. Moved to a level surface, it works perfectly.

Today, the other one leaked, but only because I'd splashed water into the housing when I filled it. After draining, cleaning and re-assembly, it also worked perfectly.

The other reviewers seem not to have read the instruction booklet, because this is the easiest humidifier in the world to care for. If you clean the parts in the dishwasher (no detergent, no heat dry), the only other thing you need to do is wipe down the interior of the housing. As to the demineralization cartridges, you need never replace them if you purchase a blank cartridge (available from kaz.com or honeywellcomfort.com) and use only distilled water. (I suppose you could indefinitely use the cartridge that it came with if you're using distilled water.)...

A way to get it to work again!
I bought 2 of these last year, and this year they wouldn't work. They would hum, but no water would run through. I read a review on another site and gave their suggestion a try. Now, both of my humidifiers are working again! HURRAY! Here's what I did - I hope it helps you:

1.Take everything apart inside - clean with a mixture of vinegar and dish soap (I used Dawn).
2. Take the little thing apart at the bottom of the tube. It's magnetic, so once you take the white circular disc off, then you can always drop it into a metal bowl if you can't get the next piece out. Clean the metal parts and then scrape all metal parts with a sharp knife.
3. Put everything back together. I also put in a new demineralizaton cartridge.

Hope this works for you! It saved me over $100 since I didn't need to replace either one.
:O)

Not reliable
Convenient top fill but the pump quit within 2 months. Base on the same experience from another rater, you have to question its reliability.
