Product works well. It would be nice not to have to fill the humidifier so often. Only runs about 12 hours on high before it needs refilled. Worked well and got the job done. Relatively quiet. Good item for the price.

We have a new baby that has been sick alot and we needed a humidifier that really worked. It works great even on the lowest setting so you can hear him on the monitor instead of just the machine. I tried a couple of others and they were too loud and didn't put enough moisture in the air. Since, we've bought another one for our own bedroom.

Only issue I have is that the filter needs to be replaced a bit too often, per the user manual, even if the unit is not used veru much. But that appears to be the case with many of these types of humidifiers not just this brand. Overall I give it an 8.5 out of 10.

A previous customer had posted a comment that, among other things, it was very quiet. That's what I needed as I am a very light sleeper. Happiky, yje unit is even quieter than I had anticipated. Highly recommend it

Two people living in this house have asthma and with this being a very cold and dry winter so far, their colds and asthma issues were worse and longer in duration than usual. Our doctor recommended a humidifier so I did some research and decided to purchase the Honeywell QuietCare 3.0 Gallon. The machine itself is excellent and exactly what we needed [...]. I use it in the main part of our house during the day and when my kids were sick, I put it in their bedroom at night. It's very, very quiet.

I have a small house and this humidifier works just fine for what it's rated. I was using the highest setting at first and refilling the water often. So I clicked it down 1 setting and the water last about 3 times as long and it seemed to me it worked better bringing the humidity up faster. When I buy a bigger house I will buy the larger version of this one.

I purchased this product for my newborn's room so it had to be quiet. Generally, I am pleased with the sound level at it's lowest speed. At any other speed, it seems too loud in my opinion. I am not pleased with the capacity of the tank - I have to refill it about every 10 hours or so. They could have easily increased the capacity by varying the shape of the tank so that it doesn't contain a curve and go straight up from the base. This would not increase the footprint of the unit at all. Other than that, it does what it's built to do. I can usually get the humidity level up in that one room to 50% with the door open.

I purchased 2 of these humidifiers for my apartment, for both my living room and bedroom. My rooms aren't extremely large, but for small to midsize rooms I feel this product can accomplish the humidity you desire with only refilling the humidifier on a daily basis. The humidifier is easy to set-up, lightweight, and easy to fill. The adjustable settings help to reach the humidity level you desire and also shutoff so as to not over-humidify your room. Overall, I've been satisfied.

[...]I've only used the unit for about 2 1/2 weeks, so I can't speak to long-term reliability. But so far, so good. It's very quiet and compact and does a good job humidifying a fairly large space. I like the included Protec cleaning cartridge - it seems to inhibit mold growth and supposedly works for up to a month. I did some checking for replacement Protec cleaning cartridges and they seem fairly inexpensive, $10 for a two-pack, and that was at a local hardware store. [...]
Good product.
