My 2nd humidifier purchase this week (the first being a dud and different model other review up shortly) I'm very happy with this unit. It did cost more than the other model, but this one works great! I needed it for my bedroom, plugged it in filled it up and an hour later the room felt great. I like the front fill, so no reservoir to take to the sink, lug back and try to flip in without spilling water.
I noticed a difference the first night using this unit. The wick filters already do seem a bit dirty after just a few days, so I will edit my review if need be re: filter changes. The manual says wicking should be changed 1-2 months depending on water quality, usage & dust. I have 3 dogs & 3 cats, so we'll see about the dust factor
Pros: really puts out humditiy. I did use a hydrogemeter to test it
runs almost 1 1/2 days on low setting before water needs to be added
easy to set up/use
no mist spray to damage furniture/floors
nice water trickle sound, not loud
unit self-regulates humidity according to levels in room
works well in larger bedrooms/living rooms and still compact design
Cons: night light is bright blue, doesn't bother me, but may bother some
water noise. Again, I like a running water sound, but others may find it bothersome at night
possible frequent wicking/filter changes
A clear winner in my book, does what it's supposed to do and does it quickly! I've had great nights sleep since this purchase.

I bought 2 of these at a local Goodwill and love them. they are in a living room and an office area so the waterfall sound is not bothersome, nor the blue light. I am pleased and i only paid $15 each used.
Best Deals for Honeywell Top Fill Cool Mist Humidifier
I liked this unit when I originally purchased it. I set it on a tile floor and even my cats who don't care for loud noises weren't bothered by the sound of the water pumping. About 3 weeks after I purchased it the water stopped pumping and the motor (fan?) started making a horrible grinding noise. Sometimes if I played with the motor and reseated it the water would start flowing again but not for long. I called the company after cleaning it and changing the filters, they told me to take it back to the store and exchange it. I have had the 2nd unit for 2 weeks now and it's doing the same thing!! I have never let it run out of water and only use bottled culligan water in it. Honeywell Customer Service told me this is a 'top of the line' model. REALLY?? This one is going back also, for $50 I should have gotten something that lasts at least 1 winter.
Honest reviews on Honeywell Top Fill Cool Mist Humidifier
Second day of using this unit barely feels like it is putting any water in the air the Blue light that it casts on the ceiling is bright (and rather annoying) and it sounds like I have a waterfall and a noisy one in my room the whole time this thing is plugged in. The motor also makes a rather loud noise... as soon as I find the receipt this is going back to the store. Not worth the money.

First of all, I'd like to say that this humidifier is very convenient to refill. That is the only positive thing I can say about it. The unit has a water pump which has to be properly seated or it won't work. If I want to keep our unit working, I have to constantly reseat the pump every couple of hours when it stops pumping water. This humidifier is also very loud and we have to cover up the bright blue light in order to sleep with it running. We are returning it today for a different brand after one week of use.
