 Worked for a year and then broke January 15, 2007
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!
Good buy!!! October 23, 2007
Great product. We are using it in my daughters room almost every night especially in the winter months when its very dry from the heat. I love that you can adjust the fan strength level and moisture output and it lasts the whole night and some. Great buy!!!

Bought the first unit at sears, worked right out of the box and has been in constant operation for about 2 months. Finally a humidifier that I can sleep with in the same room.
Ordered 2 more from Amazon, one arrived broken in the box. Amazon overnighted the replacment and paid to ship the bad unit back. VERY happy with Amazon.com.
It raises the humidity in the room to 50% or so from my winter average of 20%. For the carpet wetting I problem, I turned the dial to about 20% of max and the carpet stays dry. IF I want to kick it up, I just put a fan in front of it. That is the reason for 3 stars.
7 units to get two that worked, holmes return is a joke, one of the 2 quit after a year. The other is now leaking internally and has that nice burned smell as well as being a shock hazard... lower my rating to 0 stars.
Works well....when it works November 1, 2005

This humidifier obviously has some design flaws. The first one I recieved would immediately leak all of the water out the back once you filled the tank. Thankfully, AMAZON.com has a really good return policy, and I got a replacement.
This one works fine. It's relatively matinence free, though I clean it every month or so. I keep it running continuously on the lowest setting and it keeps my 632 square foot apartment at 60-70% humidity in dry Colorado. I need it this humid for my plants. At this setting the tank needs to be refilled every day or so. If I turn it up, I do notice puddles of water around it.
I like the ultrasonic humidifier much more than the evaporative, as there is no wick that needs to be replaced. This model is relatively cheap for an ultrasonic. Just make sure you buy it from somewhere that you can return it.
Others had this problem too!? September 24, 2006

Ok - so I was online looking for another humidifer - and I saw the SAME one we just had. Weeeeellll, ours sort of died. The gasket in the tank thing - wore out - and basically the thing floods the floor because there is nothing to stop the water from pouring out. I thought the 'vapor' action was AWESOME. We ran in the bedroom on full blast - and by the end of the evening (~ 6 hours?) all of the windows had condensation on them. I loved it while it was alive - but now that I know others had this problem too - I guess I am going to look for another option for 'vapor' - we've had a cool mist one - they just don't compete with the amount one like this puts out - unfortunately this one died...
