Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Holmes HM1230 Cool Mist Humidifier for 600 Square Foot Room
Customer Review: careless design
Summary: 1 Stars
Even though I bought this thing at the discounted price of $22, it wasn't worth it.
First, the thing is very noisy. I used it as a white noise machine, which was nice for me, but it's probably not intended to be that.
Second, and it's an inexcusably silly design oversight, a screw in the machine that makes constant contact with the water is metal. It rusts very easily, making the filter very orange, the water orange and most likely emitting orange humidity.
The machine is built very cheaply, quickly and carelessly.
Description of Holmes HM1230 Cool Mist Humidifier for 600 Square Foot Room
Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier for 600 square foot roomDesigned for small to medium rooms, the Holmes Cool Mist humidifier offers light humidifying to improve the quality and comfort of air in your home. With a maximum daily output of 2-1/2 gallons, the unit features two power settings and a transparent 1-gallon tank with a built-in carrying handle. Mist fans out from the top grille after the water has traveled through a circular wick filter that traps minerals and deposits. A simple dial gauge on top of the unit indicates when the filter is in good shape or ready for changing. Both the humidifier and the filter come with Microban protection, ensuring that bacteria, mold, and mildew are inhibited from growing. Holmes recommends daily rinsing with this model, and weekly scale removal during regular use. Though not industrial-strength, the humidifier is easy to use and straightforward in design. It measures 11-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, and carries a 2-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
