I’ve been bragging about my humidifier for a while, just love it. However, some of the issues I see others are having seem to come from the fact that this humidifier does seem to have some design issues that can make it hard to use if you’re not techie at all. For example, the terminals on top of the base that contact the switch part of the unit need to stay dry. If you get them wet when cleaning the unit, it won’t turn on until the base dries out. Be careful when cleaning not to get the terminals wet! Also, make sure the unit is sitting on a flat surface, no tilting as this may cause leaking. I suspect that some may be putting their units on floors that are less than flat, causing the leakage. Also, when setting up the unit, set the base on the floor (or wherever you want it) first without water, then put the water reservoir on the unit…no leaking.
As far as cleaning, every week or so, take out the pad and drop it into some white vinegar with a few drops of bleach to disinfect and dissolve any mineral buildup. You can get many uses out of a single pad this way. Clean the unit with the same solution and the reservoir with a little bleach to disinfect that too. Watch those terminals! Keep them dry. When you put the unit back together make sure everything is seated well. If it doesn’t turn on right away you might just need to jiggle the front a bit or press down to re-seat it properly. If you got the terminals wet, let the unit dry out.
With a little care this is a fine unit!

Not Very Durable – –
Lasted only a few seasons and became inoperable due to leaks and very poorly designed electronics, very clumsy unit to handle and set up.
Mine started leaking all over the place – Red Soxy – Boston, MA
My humidifier worked for a season, then started leaking all over the place. I would not recommend.
One star for one month of great humidifying – Lucky Girl – USA
Worked great for about 4 weeks. One day the refill light would not shut off, so I cleaned it, thinking it was about time. Inside, I found that the filter pad had disintegrated to a disgusting brown mush, and the plate had melted one side of the plastic housing, and half the plate was covered by an almost un-removable layer of minerals. We have pretty soft water here, so this is extreme. I suspect the problem is in the wiring or sensors since nothing I do appears to help.
One review I saw somewhere when I was looking for answers said that hers works fine if she rinses the filter pad out once a week. This is supposed to replace that old HMW2030?? That machine could go at least 6-8 weeks without cleaning and never needed a single filter or pad. I have one that is still going strong.
Many reviews I saw complained about the machine breaking after a short time (if only I had read them before buying). I would not recommend the 330 to anyone.
So now what? Honeywell does make a model that is much better: the DWM250. The tank is smaller, but the heating element is solid and positioned from above. It is the same innards as the 3-gallon version which I have used for years, and still use and love. I wish they would make that again, but in the meantime the smaller version does the job for me

Like others said….this is great for a kids room, but we also used it for ours as well.
The low setting really isn’t that loud, and the high setting is a great ‘white noise’ maker for kiddos (or hubbies that are used to the sound of a fan during summer months ;p).
And while this may not be the greatest humidifier ever, it is kind of a ‘get what you pay for’ scnerio.
Ie for us, at least, it was money well spent.

Horrible – humanum777 – Chicago, IL, USA
Honeywell 2-gal. Cool Moisture Humidifier is a loud, crudely designed white elephant. I returned it immediately! I got the Crane 2.3 Gallon COOL Mist humidifier, which is wonderfully designed and silent.
Too Loud – Suz Mac – Glasgow, KY United States
If you already have to turn the TV up to max to hear, you may not mind the blower on this unit. It overpowers a room. If you need quiet to sleep, do not buy this unit. I withstood the noise for 2 hours, now it is back in the box, out with the next trash pickup. I couldn’t tell you if it humidifies, but it probably does. So if you need it in a room you don’t occupy, you might find it does the job for you.
This humidifier simply does not work. – RKN – USA
I love writing reviews of great products. Unfortunately in this case I have to write a clinker. This is a classic example of something that is created to “look” like it should do something, but does nothing. I think the main problem is that the water tray is so undersized that there is never enough water supplied to soak the evaporator pad. As someone else posted (maybe under the Duracraft branded version), the pad gets damp maybe a couple inches up, but otherwise remains dry. As a result the humidifier just doesn’t do anything of any significance. I have a humidistat and have owned Hunter and Duracraft humidifiers in the past that worked, so I am qualified to make this evaluation.
I tried shimming up one end of the unit hoping that it might supply more water to the pad, but that did not help. Maybe the pad they supply is just too robust or is over-treated so that it will not soak up enough water, I don’t know. But, I do know that this unit does not do much of anything but make noise. Even on low it is a louder than it ought to be. I should add that is is in a small bedroom maybe 12 x 10.
I decided to return this and purchase a Vicks model V3100 1.0 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. Now that model works as you would expect a small room humidifier to work, and on low it just whispers. The Vicks is a much better choice for a small room.

This is the second Honeywell HWM-500 UV Warm Moisture Humidifier we have purchased this year. We were already familiar with the model as it is the exact same machine as the former Slant/Fin Portable Electric Warm Mist Humidifier GF-200.
The Pros: It works. A typical room’s humidity is increased by 5% (during winter typically from 45% to 50%) and you can feel it. We hope and assume the UV germicidal light bulb is killing microorganisms as advertised. Disposable pad filters effectively trap the minerals.
The Cons: It’s noisy, bubbling away like a coffee percolator, but after a while you don’t really notice. Weekly cleaning of the hot water reservoir of mineral scale is a necessary but tedious chore and other plastic parts is difficult.
Feature
- Dual Germ Eliminating Technology of UV & Vaporization
- Filter Free Operation
- Independent Humidity Control
- Medicine Cup
- Runs up to 24 hours per filling / For medium size rooms up to 700 sq. ft.
Overview
Honeywell HWM-500 UV Warm Moisture Humidifier produces up to 99.999% Germ Free Humidification – kills bacteria, mold & spores.

good purchase – R. coleman – indiana
Works very good, keeps the bedroom warm and comfortable. Quiet operation and water last up to 3 days.
Humidifier – Nammalwar Sriranganathan – Blacksburg, VA
It is working excellent and the delivery was on time and the humidifier arrived in good condition.
Good product but wrong pads recommended – SamNJ – NJ
Good Product, however Amazon recommends Honeywell HMP-12P QuickSteam Mineral Absorption Pad, 12 Pack however Honewell on the product recommend HMP-15 which are much smaller. Error definately on amazone part.
Secondly the box of the product do contain 7 small pads for initial year supply so i donot recommend buying the pads along with product. Achieving 30# humidity is quick but you need extermal humidity meter to know the actual moisture in room. After 30% the unit takes hours to go to 50% due to saturation which perhaps normal. Otherwise for me unit is just two days old. Need to monitor atleast 30 days.

Don’t buy this product – Bynum Petty – Pennington, NJ USA
Although this machine delivers an adequate amount of humidity as needed, its thermal overload protective device failed, leaving the machine inoperable. This is an unacceptable design flaw. Don’t buy it.
