Cheap Hunter 33222 Care-Free 2.2-gallon HumidifierPlus with Exclusive

Customer Ratings:

Live in Phoenix, Arizona and need humidity just to survive the dry air here. This unit claimed to be quiet and included anti-microbial in nature. I will say, these claimes are not a fair representation of the product. Always had problems with mildew buildup, even when using the chemicals requested by manufacturer. After a few days the unit started to vibrate to the point the dishwasher is considered tolerable. We would have to shim the water tank with folded paper and toothpicks to get vibrations to lessen. Sometimes a smack on the side did the trick. After two months the unit started to leak out the intake vents.

Unit requires refilling every 22 hours or so on medium fan speed. All in all, I think this unit gives humidifiers a bad wrap as I am sure you can get a better unit with less hassles. As it is, $50 is a lot to spend on a night light.

I bought 2 of these humidifiers. They worked well for about 3 months. The humidifiers stopped distributing mist properly and started "spitting" water. The fans also became noiser and began to work unevenly on lower settings causing a squeeking sound. I've cleaned the humidiers regularily. I'm going to throw the Hunter humidifiers away and try a different brand.

I'm on my 4th one for this humidifier (I have the one w/o the night light)

LIKES

1) no filter to replace

2) relatively easy cleaning (just soak in vinegar/water and brush)

3) quiet enough for me to sleep on LOW

4) large 2.5 container so dont need to refill frequently

5) it works! i sleep better, and my hygrometer proves it

DISLIKES

1) it breaks down and stops working or leaks, or gurgles after 1 or 2 months

2) gets to be noisy when on MED (specially on HIGH)

I bought this product April 23,2006, and started noticing water spiting out rear grill. The screws inside housing are starting to rust. I think they should of used brass screws. Its a little noisey on high setting,low setting is a bit better. I am sending it back to hunter and they are sending me a different model. Ill give it a second try. I do own a very nice ceiling fan that I have had for over a year and no problems!

After about 1.5 months, it started leaking. Even though I filled it with filtered water, calcium deposits were all over the inside. I wiped out the inside with CLR (lime and calcium remover) and soaked the filters in CLR. Within 3 days, it was spitting out water again. And not just a little bit of water, either. I'd placed it on a huge beach towel that I'd folded up as many times as possible...maybe came to 3" of towel that it was placed on. The next morning, the towel was DRENCHED...I mean, I picked it up and water was dripping out of the towel. I phoned their "customer service" number listed in the manual about 3 times. I was on hold for so long each time, I gave up. Now it's just sitting in my living room and I'll probably throw it out. What a waste of $50. Oh, and when it WAS working, it was noisy. I had to turn my TV volume up to a level I hope did not disturb my neighbors (apartment living).
