Honeywell - QuietCare Cool Moisture Multi-Room Console Humidifier (HCM-6009)

i have a honeywell quietcare cool mist that they sell at canadian tire. It works well, the filter lasts me a few months (replacement filter is 20$ at cantire but you can get knock offs for way less). Its easy to clean, well built, and would work fine in a room. But i put it in the living room which is a larger space, and that works fine for -10, -15...but on the days where we hit -25 (which has been pretty often this year), and the baseboard heaters are running a lot, it struggles to raise the humidity. But for a medium/large room, the honeywell is good. I just bought a vornado evap40 today to be able to handle the larger area i need to cover. Also there are a ton of used/open box humidifiers on fb marketplace. You can probably score one for 30$. Preferably one that still has filters, from a non smokers home.

You need a wicking humidifier, like https://www.homedepot.ca/product/honeywell-honeywell-console-cool-moisture-humidifier-for-multi-room-3-4-gallon/1001020754 . At full speed with a fresh filter it can certainly put 2+ pints of water into the air per hour. I have one plugged into a smart plug, and my home automation system automatically toggles it on/off to keep my target humidity. You say that all of them in your country are ultrasonic, but can you order the wicking filter from another country? The rest of it is just a fan, and a tray with water for the filter to sit in.

honeywell cool evaporative humidifier.

Came here to say just this! Evaporative is the best for humidifying and healthier air. We also have a Honeywell evaporative hunidifier… it is easy to clean and really helps keep the air moistened without spreading unhealthy mold particles, like my old cool mist humidifiers did.

How big is the room? I use an evaporative Honeywell. It does well on the lowest setting and I only have to fill it about once a day

I would likely recommend an evaporative humidifier, not a warm mist one. The mist ones have a lot of problems, such as being more prone to bacteria growth and harder to clean. They also try to add more moisture than the air can actually hold, resulting in mineral condensation (white dust) appearing everywhere over time, especially if you have hard water. Aircare makes a decent console-style evap humidifier with a decent tank size and is pretty easy to clean. I used one for years until we moved to a house with a humidifier on the furnace. Now I use a smaller Honeywell evaporative humidifier upstairs only. It gets filled each evening, runs constantly all winter, and cleaned each weekend. I went through about half a dozen of those warm mist ones before converting. It didn't matter the brand, how much I treated the water of cleaned them, they were all pieces of junk that lasted only 1-2 years. Crane ones were probably the worst.

Nothing on the carpet. I kept it on a plastic tub lid, just in case but never found water. The Honeywell one i just put on a dresser. Never used one with an air purifier. I wouldn't put them next to each other since they are both ducking in air, but I dont think there would be problems

We got the Honeywell one because we already had one and it seemed better to only have to buy one kind of filter.

Ive bought a Honeywell Cold Mist humidifier years ago from BEST. Still works great!

Hey there! My partner has done a ton of research on this and said the he recommends an evaporative humidifier. We have used them for the past few winters and it’s made a HUGE difference for me. We really like the Honeywell cool mist because it’s easy to clean and doesn’t build up germs.
