Honeywell - Cool Moisture Humidifier HCM350B

I’ve had this Honeywell humidifier for years and it’s about as low maintenance and care free as it gets. It’s plugged into a smart switch and turns on and off to keep the humidity just where I like it. One tip to prolong the evaporator wick is to rotate it every time you refill the tank. Doing that the wick will last through a dry season.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FJTVHKO?

We have an ultrasonic in our bedroom and a matching one in our home office. We use distilled water. It's cheap and makes maintenance a snap. I had one of the big evaporative ones years ago and it was a PITA.

The model we have is discontinued, but it's somewhat similar to this one. [https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HCM350B-Germ-Humidifier-Black/dp/B00FJTVHKO/ref=sr\_1\_2](https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-HCM350B-Germ-Humidifier-Black/dp/B00FJTVHKO/ref=sr_1_2)

https://a.co/d/gxk8OWh I use this one, it's pricier but there's absolutely NO white mineral coating in my room, and it lasts through the night on max setting. Only gets up to about 42%, but my bedroom is mega sized.

I got the white version of the Honeywell HCM350B, kind of expensive at like $70-80 but I bought mine in 2019 and it's still going strong. I chose it based on a Wirecutter article that pointed out how easy it is to clean everything, including the tank.

Honeywell makes a nice on that I got. It’s the HCM-350. Super simple, cheap and just has a paper pickup reed you can replace if it gets icky. There’s a UV bulb that is in there to kill bacteria and is the only real wear item.

Interesting, I haven't had a single issue with it tbh. Works quite well.

i got the honeywell hcm350 but don’t know if it will be good enough!

it’s okay! it works and does help with humidity but i wish it had a digital humidistat to turn it self off. the unit is also fairly large and i wish it was smaller. I also wish the tank was bigger as it’s kind of annoying to flip the filter and refill it everyday. I probably could do it every other day. I will say that the filter stays relatively clean after using the deminirlization tablets and aftermarket filter from amazon. Also being able to throw like most parts in the dishwasher is awesome for cleaning . comparing this to a previous levoit ultrasonic and i like that it’s way more healthy. No mold in tricky spots (yet anyway) and i feel like i can do an easier job of keeping it clean for my son. I do change the wick every 30 days as well .

Been happy with our Honeywell evaporative humidifier. I’m not sure the model exactly as it’s older but the HCM350 seems to be at least very similar if not the same

Me too, I've had one for years.

When I looked into it,\*\*\* the warm mist are the way to go\*\*\*, one of the options leaves a coating on everything because reasons I don't remember and the other style is loud From memory the other options are cold mist and evaporate. You have to clean it out, but what I do is when I go to sleep I just empty it, wipe it dry and let it air dry. Seems to work find for stopping the mold. Warm mist, you can't really mess it up. I have a medium Honeywell and aside from some mild glitches it seems to work OK. They have a large size, wasn't a fan for reasons my senility prevents me from sharing. No filters, easy to clean \[the medium\] Sadly warm mists don't seem available in this small berg in any other brands locally.YMMV I'd love to get one where like a dehumidifer you can just set the level you want, and is easy to use and clean and a decent size but... well like is a vale of tears. My medium seems to keep up with the HRV in Canadian winters ERV, recovers some of the humidity that you are pumping out in the winter. It's a grand thing, but my father before he died picked a HRV, not sure if he knew better or not, but he died 2 years ago soon after he got it... and I don't want to replace it as the HRV works. Get a ERV and get a summer by pass and you be ballin. All the girl, or guy belong to you and you can haz poland or whatever meme culture says these days.

I used to have the vicks one & it would get mineral build up and since that one doesn’t have a filter it’s more likely to get bacterial growth, mine just stopped working one day which made me get the evaporative one & after doing some research I’d say yes it’s worth switching over

Of course! https://a.co/d/d8L8EV6 unfortunately it’s no longer on sale 🥲 but you might get lucky after the holidays if they do any sales by then I was able to get it for about $60 during Black Friday
