Product Description
Cool Mist / 2.4 Gallon Output in 24 Hours / 2 Speeds / Variable Mist Control / Water Purification Filter (UH325)
Amazon.com Review
With its variable humidity control and two power settings, this Holmes ultrasonic humidifier makes a home more comfortable year-round. The unit features a 1-1/2-gallon tank, which removes for filling and has an adjustable mist outlet so you can aim it where you please. The mist is soft, cool, and visible, and the dial control on the base lets you set to a light flow or a full blast. All the water that the humidifier emits travels first through a compact filter system to help keep impurities out of the air. Depending on output setting and air condition, the humidifier can run up to 30 hours on one tank and output a maximum of 2.8 gallons per day. Its assembly and operation is straightforward, thanks to basic controls, a large-grip tank handle, and a power indicator light. Designed for up to a 650-square-foot room, the machine comes with Microban anti-microbial construction to help combat mold, mildew, and bacteria. It measures 11 by 5-3/4 by 13-1/2 inches and carries a 2-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

 Great Unit... Great Customer Service. November 21, 2004
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
The first of these I had worked flawlessly for three years of virtually continuous use (until I melted it by using it too close to the kitchen stove!); I'm on my second and it is going strong in it's second year. Very high output and very quiet in the bedroom. Anti-microbial infused in the plastic... no worries! Will run with or without the effective and inexpensive filter cartridge. Placed centrally, this unit raised the humidity of my 1200 sq foot house 30-40%! Tank holds enough water for 12 hours run at max setting; twice that on lowest setting. Superior customer service from Holmes corporate (NOT their service contractor). Cleans up easily with an old toothbrush. You will not find a better unit for anywhere near the price.
UPDATE: This unit is still running strong after 4 winters of use!
 Excellent humidifier - we tried the rest, this one was the best! December 26, 2005

Great features on this unit include the easy lift off tank, replaceable water filter and soft cool mist.
We use this in our daughters' room every day to offset the winter dryness produced by our forced hot air heating system. It has run flawlessly for over a year. It is very quiet, and runs a long time on the low output setting. If you turn the fan and humidity level to the maximum, it lasts approximately 12 hours in our house.
We have had no water leakage problems, and no problem cleaning the base (as we do monthly). It DOES NOT leave water anywhere but in the air, where it is supposed to.
Our kids get a kick out of the 'fog machine' in their bedroom.
Why not 5 stars? Filters get expensive in the long run - $8 each and should be replaced often. We replace ours every 2 months or so.

We use this in our baby's room and it has worked fine through two winters so far. The water filter is a great plus to make sure we are getting a clean mist. We have never had any of the "puddle" problems others have written about. I would recommend this item. The only down side for me is that it goes through the water tank pretty quickly. UPDATE: 1 year later, it quit working. I would no longer suggest you purchased this unit. I wish I could reduce this to 1 star!

I purchased this humidifier three years ago and have had no problems. It keeps the humidity in my son's room around 50% and we live in dry Wyoming. Maybe that's why my floors are not getting soaked as others have commented. I like how quiet it is and how much vapor is emitted. I just turn the cap to blow the vapor up instead of out. The only problem I've had just recently is a gasket where the water leaves the tank has worn out from use, and there are no replacement parts for this unit unless I buy a new water tank. I will continue to use this machine until it dies, but after that (especially after reading the reviews/comments in this section) I will purchase a different humidifier.

I have had this humidifier before, purchased from Walmart, but when they stopped carrying them at my local store, I shopped online. The 3 machines I bought each had the same problem. The gaskets which hold the cap closed on the bottom of the tank don't fit properly, and once it's closed is nearly impossible to open. I never had this problem before, so I'm assuming it's the company I bought it from. Other than that, the machine is wonderful. I've never had any humidifier that was so effective at clearing clogged sinuses and preventing coughs. It's also easy to keep clean.
