Here are 5 Suggestions of the Most Reliable Honeywell Humidifiers for 2019

Posted by Cobey Miron on August 21st, 2019

While Honeywell humidifiers for home are well made and a trusted, reliable brand customer feedback seems to suggest that there are wild differences between the different models of Honeywell humidifiers.

While some Honeywell humidifiers are tremendously highly regarded, users of other report lots of problems and so if you’re considering buying a Honeywell humidifier for home you would do well to carefully study the information below in order to help you to make the best possible decision on which humidifier is best for you.

Like so many brands of humidifiers for the home, Honeywell offers a massive range of different models and we simply couldn’t attempt to give them all justice on a small website like this one so instead we have picked the five top-selling Honeywell humidifiers right now and below you will find detailed reviews of each one together with our own star ratings of the best Honeywell humidifiers around.

Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology

The Honeywell HCM-6009 nine gallon cool mist humidifier is currently our top-ranked Honeywell humidifier for home and not surprisingly is also one of the most highly-rated humidifiers currently on the market.

The HCM-6009 has a large water container which enables it to give out an impressive 9 gallons of moisture each day meaning that it can either increase the humidity in your home by a significant amount or it can be used for smaller increases in humidity over a larger space (such as if you have a very large living room).

As with other Honeywell cool mist humidifiers for home, this model seems to have the same general complaints of the fan not being totally silent (as you will find with all cool mist humidifiers) and that accessing the water tank can be a little fiddly.

However, after dozens of reviews, it seems that the HCM-6009 is one of the most reliable models that Honeywell make and does an excellent job of raising the humidity levels even in very large rooms. The large water-holding ability really makes this the most practical Honeywell model of all and lessens the problem of how fiddly it can be to fill up the tank simply because it needs to be done far less often than with similar models.

Overall this is our top-rated Honeywell humidifier for home and is where we suggest you start your journey.

Honeywell HCM-630 QuietCare 3-Gallon Cool-Moisture Humidifier

The Honeywell HCM-630 three-gallon cool moisture humidifier for home seems to offer one of the best compromises between practicality and longevity. While a common problem pointed at Honeywell humidifiers is that they do not have a long lifespan and so need to be regularly replaced this model seems to do a lot better than most and much of the feedback we have seen from owners of this machine is very positive.

Like all cool mist humidifiers, it is driven by a fan and the odd person finds the noise that the HCM-630 produces a little too much however this is to a degree the nature of the beast. Investing an ultrasonic humidifier for home would greatly reduce (or even eliminate) the noise is given off.

The only real drawback of this Honeywell humidifier is quite simply that you will need to access the water tank from underneath the unit and that refilling it and replacing it is not the easiest of tasks.

That said, the HCM-630 QuietCare does seem to do exactly what it promises on the packaging and assuming you’re willing to fiddle about a little bit to top up the water every day or two then this machine provides excellent value for money.

Honeywell HCM-300T QuietCare 3-Gallon UV Tower Humidifier

The Honeywell HCM-300T Tower humidifier for home is something of an unusual design in that rather than being roughly cube-shaped like most humidifiers (including most Honeywell humidifiers) it is “tower” shaped thus giving it a tall, slim appearance suitable for placing on the floor. The tower humidifiers can be seen as quite space-saving for use in smaller rooms.

A further interesting feature of the Honeywell HCM-300T humidifier is that rather like expensive aquarium filters it uses ultraviolet (UV) light to treat the water before it is blasted into your home which cuts down significantly on the risks of any bacteria being present. This makes the moisture given out by the Honeywell tower humidifier safer and more pleasant-smelling than from many other competing products.

Despite all these benefits this Honeywell humidifier for home does seem to have one significant drawback and that is quite simply that it is not a very long-lived device. There are many reviews on Amazon from previous purchasers of this unit and they all seem to say the same thing – that the unit dies after just a year or two of use – and then has to be replaced. In our opinion despite all the other benefits of this unit, the problem with the lifetime of this humidifier causes us to mark it down in our rankings.

Honeywell HCM645 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier

The Honeywell HCM645 four-gallon cool mist humidifier for home has a number of of very practical features such as the large water holding tank which means this humidifier for home only needs to be topped up once every day or so and it also has an automatic cut-off so that if the water container becomes empty then the humidifier will turn off to stop any damage to the machine. It also features a self-cleaning filter to reduce unpleasant smells from bacterial buildup.

Customer feedback seems to rate this as a reasonably easy-to-use and efficient humidifier for home although the most common point made is that even with their so-called “QuietCare” technology the fan in this Honeywell humidifier is still incredibly noisy thus making it quite unpleasant to have running while you are at home.

If noise is likely to be an issue for you then this humidifier is probably best avoided though if the sound of an electric fan in the background doesn’t worry you this may be a decent Honeywell humidifier to invest in and for the cost does an admirable job. This deserves the title of the best humidifier for large room in 2019.

Honeywell HCM-800 QuietCare PermaFilter Humidifier

The Honeywell HCM-800 QuietCare PermaFilter Humidifier for home is marketed as a cool mist humidifier that offers the specific benefit of not having to replace the filter. Honeywell claims that with the correct care, the filter that comes with the QuietCare PermaFilter will last for the lifetime of the product and that basic cleaning with vinegar and/or bleach will keep the filter in peak condition.

Unfortunately, it seems that most users of the HCM-800 haven’t been quite so lucky and have found the filter quickly clogs up with mineral deposits and dust and over time becomes unusable. Some users have also claimed that as the filter starts to become blocked unpleasant smells are given off by this humidifier.

While it turns out that the filter can be changed if you like, these are not cheap to replace and this combined with the noise of the fan means that this is probably a Honeywell humidifier for the home best avoided and to illustrate this at the time of writing it only has an average rating of 2 1/2 stars.
