I bought the HCM 3060 about 3 winters ago (I live in Minnesota so only use the humidifier a few months each year) and was very pleased with it initially. Then it stopped working, the blue light wouldn't function, and the filters were bone dry. (this was ...

Pros: Ran like a champ
Cons: Poor design and manufacturing

I bought the 3060 about three weeks ago. While it worked really well during its short life--it was made very poorly.

While walking one of the 3 gallon water tanks from the sink back to the humidifier the handle snapped off and the entire tank split open upon impact. Three gallons of water pouring across your rugs and floors is not a pretty sight. In a postmortem, I noticed that the handle is only spot-glued to the body of the tank. The weight of 3 gallons of water is pretty substantial, I don't see how the handle can possibly withstand that sort of stress.

I returned the damaged humidifier with no hassles at Walmart, but I opted not to replace it with the same model.

Pros: Price
Cons: Noise Poor humidity

I bought this humidifier 3 weeks ago and it's terrible. Wish I still had the box so I could return it. It's loud and the filters are half dry and it's not raising the humidity in the room at all. The noise is awful.
I bought Honeywell because they're a respected name in Air Filters and I figured that reputation would carry over into their humidifier line, but I was wrong.
