 Somewhat Noisy but VERY RELIABLE January 11, 2007

This is an excellent machine to have if you don't have a lot of time for fill-ups or cleaning or anything. I've had mine for two years and have done nothing but rinse and fill and it still works wonderfully. The water does not have any odor to it. There has been some buildup on the inside but that can be easily gotten rid of, I just haven't done it (shame on me). I usually soak anything like this in a vinegar bath and after a while it rinses clean. I've seen all the negative feedback, but I was and still am really impressed by this machine, I paid a lot more and I'm thinking of getting another for when this one eventually wears out but its still going strong. A lot of other vaporizers have lasted a year or so and then I throw them out. THIS IS A KEEPER.
 customer service...a joke December 30, 2006

Last year I got this humidifier because I was tired of paying for a new filter every month or two. It seemed to work fine for that season. This fall I set it up, turned it on, and nothing happened. After going through troubleshooting with Hunter they determined that the motor burned out (apparently a common problem with these if you read over the rest of the reviews). Since it was still under warranty they said they would send another one out free of charge and it should arrive in 7-14 days.
That was 2 months ago and still no unit!!!!
I have called them back several times and each time they look it up, say "oh, it must have gotten lost," and enter a new replacement order. I now have three different reference numbers, and neither of them has resulted in the replacement unit they promised. Stay away!!!!
Hunter Care Free, It Died December 18, 2006

After two short winter seasons, which included "as perscribed" cleaning practices, the motor died. The warrantee, according to the vendor, is one year so "your out of luck".

Please think twice before purchasing one of these "Care-Free" humidifiers for your home. The concept of the machine is great however after having 3 of them and having all 3 of the motors "burn out" I will never buy a Hunter product again. The last one I got lasted only 2 months before it died. I am just thankful I was home every time that this happened and I was able to quickly unplug them.
A total waste of money and Hunter's customer service department is the worst! Never again for me...
Straight and to the point ..... December 3, 2006

If you need a machine with a fan so loud that it helps mask the horns 12 floors below (I live in NYC), and a water basin and filter than need constant attention (cleaning) this is the machine for you.
