After reviewing several brands of humidifiers and owning a few brands that either did not last or required purchasing filters and "cleaners", I can definitely attest to the Sunbeam being THE BEST unit on the market for the price and quality. If you are like me and do not want to spend $150-200 dollars on a high quality spaceship like humidifier that will be another item to strategically pack before the next move, then this unit is for you. Also, if you have experienced other units which seem like they were built for growing mold, had reservoirs made out of the most fragile plastic, or had filters that required a special scavenger hunt to find and of course special "cleaners" to maintain steam .... stop the insanity and spend about $20 for the sunbeam. This unit will easily humidify a 3-4 room apartment...and it's cheap enough to purchase others to cover more sq.ft.

As for poor rankings or "so-so" opinions about this unit here are a few tips:

1. Filling the unit should not be done at the sink but by using a pitcher to transfer the water and easily poor in at said location.

2. Cleaning.. that's what she said.. I followed the other poster who cleaned the unit with vinegar and its great! No caustic chemicals needed.

3. Turning on and off... so, you have to unplug the machine.. much like a hair dryer, iron, vacuum, etc. get over it!

4. For the "smoking gun" scenario.. I'd like to know if they following the fill lines and did not overfill the unit... :)

I can't say enough about this product! Loving it, kinda has to be an understatement! It runs a long time on one filling, as I only have to fill it up every 2 days. It is quiet running. I love the fact that it does not have filters as I clean it completely at every filling. I place vinegar into the tank and run it as usual for about 2 hours. Then, rinse it all out and refill. Alot of people do not like the fact that it does not have a on/off switch, but I do not necessarily care much about that. I have noticed a huge difference in the moisture level within my house, since getting 2 of these vaporizers. I have also not had a migraine headache since I started running these. Very pleased! 5 star product in my house!

For those that have a problem with turning on and off by unplugging. We bought a switch with that can be plugged into any outlet. Then you plug the humidifier into the switch and ta-da!! You don't have to plug and unplug anymore.

Works great:)

I also back up the recommendation of cleaning with vinegar and actually taking a sponge and giving it a little rubdown with the vinegar and/or some hot soapy water. I've had mine for 2 years and is still doing great.

Honest reviews on Sunbeam 645-800-001N Sunbeam 645-800 Cool Mist Impeller Humidifier

This humidifier is horrible. No, it does not have a filter to clean, but I wish it did. The top part of the humidifier cannot be cleaned. I tried using a bottle brush, old toothbrush, etc to clean the parts around the fan & motor without success. The entire top portion eventually grew mold and mildew due to the inability to reach those parts to clean. I will continue my search for a humidifier that can actually be cleaned easily.

We were excited that this Sunbeam cool mist humidifier is still on the market we had a few of these in our old house (which had city water) and they worked great. We didn't use them for a year or so, and felt we could not properly clean the old ones, so we bought new ones for our kids' bedrooms in our new house (we now have well water). I am not sure if it's a function of our delicious well water (which is not hard water and has a healthy, balanced mineral content), or if the quality of the product's manufacturing has declined over the years, but this thing simply doesn't work for us. We are so disappointed! The specifics of this humidifier are exactly what we want: cool mist (safe for children), no filter, easy to clean (throw the tub in the dishwasher, top rack; and run vinegar through it once a week or so to clean the top apparatus). However, after a few nights of questionable results, we realized that the water level does not change from day to day to day. Again this could be a function of our well water. Operating under that assumption, I put bottled/distilled water into it to give it a try. It functioned exactly the same way. We are returning these and, frankly, are at a loss as to which humidifier to put in the kids' bedrooms. I give this product two stars because at our old house (with city water), it worked much better. Here at our new house with well water, we are not having much of a result at all. ;(
