Honeywell - Cool Moisture Humidifier HCM350B

Yea only use one system in the case. The humidipaks work in both directions. They add humidity if needed or reduce if too high. The best option will always be to control the ambient relative humidity in the room, though. This is the humidifier I use: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAYJPO/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAYJPO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) It does not have a built in sensor/hygrostat, so I check humidity with the hygrometer and adjust as needed. But basically in the winter it needs to run all the time.

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.

This is what i use. It's cool mist with a uv light which to be honest ti should check to see if it's burnt out. I like that it's cool mist. It has a filter. And with the fan it doubles as my white noise machine https://a.co/d/gFZLxJJ

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.

Mine are disposable. I have both an evaporative humidifier (Vicks Warm Steam) and a cool mist (Honeywell HCM350). I soak the cool mist filters in vinegar, and soak the evaporative motor/filter part in about 4-5" of vinegar. Removes mold and mineral buildup from both.

Those Honeywell filters are NOT cheap! I got tired of paying $25-30 for 6 filters that you're supposed to change every month. Soaking them in vinegar allows me to get up to 3 months from each filter.

I started soaking my filters in vinegar. It dissolves all the buildup, and I get twice as much life out of them.

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 .

No. they all suck and it is frustrating. An ideal situation is to have a whole home humidifier and just have to keep ontop of one filter and cleaning but of course not everyone can do that (and those have their issue too). I'm also a busy working parent and just decided to try going without a humidifier this year and see how it goes. Try to see how they do. In the past, i've utilized the Honeywell HCM350 and run what parts i can through the dishwasher and clean the rest as best as i can as often as i can (prob every 2-3 weeks realistically). I keep eying the Levoit 6000s but i don't have a spacious place and don't have excess funds at the moment or the capacity to try something and deal with returning it, etc. all this to say, as a parent, you are not alone, it is super frustrating and i wish there was an easy to use humidifer for our little kiddos. I grew up with sinus issues and at this point in my life, i feel like i've tried so many humidifiers and am just tired of it.

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
