I recently purchased two of these on sale at Target. I thought the second one was defective because it made strange noises, but it turned out that the bookcase on which I placed it wasn't stable. Moved to a level surface, it works perfectly.

Today, the other one leaked, but only because I'd splashed water into the housing when I filled it. After draining, cleaning and re-assembly, it also worked perfectly.

The other reviewers seem not to have read the instruction booklet, because this is the easiest humidifier in the world to care for. If you clean the parts in the dishwasher (no detergent, no heat dry), the only other thing you need to do is wipe down the interior of the housing. As to the demineralization cartridges, you need never replace them if you purchase a blank cartridge (available from kaz.com or honeywellcomfort.com) and use only distilled water. (I suppose you could indefinitely use the cartridge that it came with if you're using distilled water.) While the motor is quiet (if installed correctly--which the manual emphasizes more than once), the "waterfall" makes the sort of noise one would expect--not too loud, but ever-present. I find it relaxing, but if absolute quiet is required, then it will be a disappointment.

I plan to buy another of these for my daughter and grandson, because I've never been happier with a humidifier.

I bought 2 of these last year, and this year they wouldn't work. They would hum, but no water would run through. I read a review on another site and gave their suggestion a try. Now, both of my humidifiers are working again! HURRAY! Here's what I did I hope it helps you:

1.Take everything apart inside clean with a mixture of vinegar and dish soap (I used Dawn).

2. Take the little thing apart at the bottom of the tube. It's magnetic, so once you take the white circular disc off, then you can always drop it into a metal bowl if you can't get the next piece out. Clean the metal parts and then scrape all metal parts with a sharp knife.

3. Put everything back together. I also put in a new demineralizaton cartridge.

Hope this works for you! It saved me over $100 since I didn't need to replace either one.

:O)

Convenient top fill but the pump quit within 2 months. Base on the same experience from another rater, you have to question its reliability.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Easy-Care Cool Mist Filter Free Humidifier, HUT-200

I purchased this humidifier (Honeywell Ultrasonic, Model HUT-200-TGT) from a store (on sale, no returns) based on the box repeatedly claiming "no filters required." I'm here to find the demineralization cartridges (calcium filters) they said isn't required, but MUST be replaced (according to the manual inside the box) after every 20-30 fillings (at a cost of roughly $6 each, or $12-18 per month with two or three fillings per day). Of course, local stores I tried didn't have those filter cartridges. Luckily this website does.

The humidifier is just fine otherwise. Not quite as quiet as the company claims, but we sleep with a small fan running anyway (to mask street noise) and the humidifier is located on the other side of the room. Between those two, we can't even hear it at night.

However, based on what I know now, I wouldn't purchase this humidifier again, nor recommend it to others.

I don't know what happened, Honeywell is normally considered a quality brand, but this thing just stopped misting. I suspect it has something to do with NO AUTO SHUTOFF when the water runs out. What the heck were they thinking? The pump still works, but something is definately broken.

Returning and NOT buying another Honeywell/KAZ to replace it.
