IF THE FILTER IS MADE OF STANDARD FILTER PAPER THEN IT NOT A PERMENANT FILTER. PS chicago has hard water its really bad on water filters.

This humidifier is horrible. No, it does not have a filter to clean, but I wish it did. The top part of the humidifier cannot be cleaned. I tried using a bottle brush, old toothbrush, etc to clean the parts around the fan & motor without success. The entire top portion eventually grew mold and mildew due to the inability to reach those parts to clean. I will continue my search for a humidifier that can actually be cleaned easily.

The Vornado whole room ultrasonic humidifier works great. It is cheaper than the Air O Swiss and is quieter. Maintenance is a problem. The manual calls for a weekly time consuming ritual. Scraping off the mineral build-up is a chore. Finding a mineral replacement cartridge is difficult. I will probably try another product next year.

Crane Cow Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Crane Cow Cool Mist Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although this humidifier looks like a toy, it works perfect fine. It is not the most high performance humidifier and it does not have any additional feature, like UV lamp or water filter, but it performs extremely well for its price. I bought it at around $30, before the price increased. Like all ultrasonic humidifier, it produces small water droplets using high energy acoustic action. The droplets are then delivered out using a small fan. It is extremely quiet that you will barely notice the sound even when you are going to sleep. The specification sheet states the power consumption is 32 W maximum, but it consumes less power in practice. Humidification is not necessary higher by operating the humidifier at higher power. At maximum power, the water droplets generated are very large and they will fall to the floor without increasing humidity. Thus, the humidifier should be operated at optimum power to generate finer water mist. Therefore, the operation power is lower than 32 W. For the same reason, the humidifer delivers 15-24 hours of performance with a galleon of water, instead of the 11 hour stated on the specification sheet.
It is important to point out, there is no extra replacement cost because this unit has no extra features. For this reason, it cannot eliminate mineral or bacteria in the water. So if there are minerals or bacterias, they will also be dispersed in the air. Filtered or distilled water should be used if tap water has minerals. Water should also be changed everyday and the unit should be clean every week to avoid bacteria buildup. I have noticed that you can put in trace amount of hydrogen peroxide to prevent bacterial growth. I suggest using about 1 teaspoon of home use (3%) hydrogen peroxide in a galleon of water. Doing so, I noticed that I do not have to change water everyday. Make sure you do not put too much peroxide, and do not put the humidifier next to your head during sleep after you added peroxide.
*Update*
Although the instruction manual suggests cleaning the water tank (top unit) with mild clorox blench solution, it does not mean you can clean the bottom unit with blench. I made the mistake and the paint/coating on the ultrasonic part is falling apart. At least this is why I think the coating is coming off. Now it cannot be used. Also my water has too much minerals in it, even with the PUR faucet filter, the humidifier still produces white dust. A reverse osmosis water purifier might do the job, but I do not have one. Good while it last, but I will have to get a different kind of humidifier for my next winter. I also like to down rate this humidifier to a 4 star, but Amazon does not allow me to change my star rating. It is still a pretty good for its low price ($30).*
*Super Update* Crane has now offer a mineral filter to minimize white dust. I have not use one, but I thought readers should be made aware of it. It is about $10-11 and it lasts ~2 months.

I first purchased the Hunter model 33223 humidifier which had a noise issue with the fan. Hunter Fan Co. promptly replaced the defective model with the model 33288. The medium room sized permawick model 33288 humidifier includes two fan speeds and a humidistat. The humidifier raised relative humidity from 25% to 40% in a 209 square foot room. Frequency of adding water to the 1.5 gallon reservoir will depend on humidistat and fan speed settings. I am very pleased with the performance of the 33288 model and the customer service that Hunter Fan Co. provided.

After several years of service, the filter element in my Hunter humidifier became rather nasty, plus I'm sure it wasn't as effective as when it was new, due to the accumulation of crud from hard water. The new one fit perfectly, and seems to do exactly what it's supposed to do. When this one reaches its end-of-service, I'll buy another, if they're still available.
I run the humidifier all winter to keep my acoustic guitars at the proper humidity.

Honeywell HUT-102M Quietcare Ultrasonic Mini Tower Humidifier Review

Honeywell HUT-102M Quietcare Ultrasonic Mini Tower Humidifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, this humidifier is quiet. I keep it next to my bed and the very faint noise doesn't bother me at all. I use only distilled water in it. That's a little expensive, but I can get one-gallon jugs at Wal-Mart for sixty four cents, so it's better than having white dust all over the room. This model has a "white dust" filter, but most such filters are iffy at best.
Now for the problems. Filling is a pain. If it's not completely empty, water remains in the base, which tends to drip and spill when you lift the tank off for re-filling. So I carry the whole unit to the sink just to make sure I don't get water all over my carpet. (Water can spill if you don't keep the unit level.) Further, the refill opening is on the bottom, so you have to turn the tank upside down to fill it. The tank top is slanted, so you can't set it down. You have to hold the tank with one hand, and fill with the other. It's a very clumsy process.
The last thing I have to say is the blue light is incredibly annoying. It lights up your whole bedroom and can't be turned off. I wrap a towel around it. What were they thinking? Sure, it looks cool, until you try to go to sleep.
Overall,though, it works nicely and has been quiet, which is exactly why I bought it and am keeping it. If you are elderly or arthritic, the girations you need to go through to fill it may cause you to look elsewhere.

Offering a space-saving tower design, the Honeywell HUT-102M Quietcare humidifier features quiet ultrasonic technology that silently provides visible cool moisture. It's ideal for rooms up to 350 square feet. A humidifier is helpful in introducing moisture to your home in order to help you avoid dry skin, chapped lips, dry nasal passages and static electricity as well as keep your wood floors and furnishings in good shape.
Water is atomized by ultrasonic sound waves and propelled in the air by the HUT-102M's small fan, and these silent ultrasonic pulses produce a visible mist. And with Honeywell's ultrasonic Quietcare technology, this humidifier is 95 percent quieter than other humidifiers. Other features include auto shut-off when tank is out of water, variable moisture settings, easy grab handle for convenient carrying, removable water tank, and an illuminated tank window that allows visibility to water level and doubles as a nightlight.
It has a 1.2-gallon-output-per-day and it can run for up to 12 hours per filling. The unit comes with 1 demineralization cartridge, which is designed to last for between 1 to 2 months of normal use (depending on the mineral content of the water used); the replacement cartridge is model DC-102. It measures 10 by 7 by 15 inches and weighs 8 pounds. It's backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Air King 3-Speed Recirculating Humidifier #9915
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a pretty good humidifier. It's the best one I've had in a long time. Because it is a recirculating system when it starts to go bad the gunk ends up in the water in the tub and it becomes a little rank. It is difficult to get into some of the places where minerals build up. You will want to filter the water you put in there, like with a Brita filter. Otherwise you will be taking it apart and cleaning it every month. And it really wasn't made to be taken apart. The best way I have found to clean it is to make a nice mix of water and white vinegar and let it sit in the tub to get the minerals off. Then just run it with the vinegar in it. Your house will smell like vinegar for a couple of hours, but it will dissolve all of the mineral buildup everywhere that you can't reach, and the machine will be very clean afterward.

1G Vaporizer with Nightlight Review

Average Reviews:

I live in dry desert country and this humidifier is a godsend on dry days in the house. However, we bought it for overnight use and either it churns out copious amounts of steam and runs out within 3-4 hours, rendering it useless for an 8-hour overnight stretch, or it just sort of puffs pathetically, releasing tiny amount of steam throughout the night to where you don't even feel its effects. I've tried different additives (salt, baking soda) to figure out if it's a hard water/pH issue or whatever, and I can't figure it out. It's completely inconsistent, so we don't use it all that much. If I could go back I'd skip this one and get a 2-gallon humidifier instead in the hopes that it would at least get through the night.

I purchased this to go along with my whole house humidifier cause Honeywell doesn't give you all the stuff you need with the humidifier. However, read up on what is included and what is not. I bought a seperate humidistat because I thought I needed one but there is actually one in the humidifier package. Most modern furnaces don't need the separate transformer and sail switch that come in this kit. You can find the schematics online for your furnace if you don't have the manual it came with to wire to the 24v output on the control board in the furnace unit and not have to use the sail switch and 24v transformer. Hence, I'd recommend buying the water tubes and ducting at a hardware store. I would imagine that if I'd thought ahead far enough I could have found the 5" duct and hoses for around $20 or less and saved myself some money. My mistake is your lesson here I guess.

Now for the second year, I use this product exclusively. From October through March, my humidifer gets a workout, being used at least every night in the bedroom.

I have had no sinus infections for the second year in a row - and used to have them on a regular basis. Of course, I have nothing scientific to prove its the ant-bacteria treatment, but that's the only thing different I am doing as far as air quality treatment in the bedroom.

This unit works well, as expected. My only complaint with it is the styling. It's pretty, at the expense of function. The Honeywell engineers in their infinite wisdom put beautiful rounded tops on the water tanks. Looks great, but when you invert the tank in the kitchen sink to refill it, it won't stand up in the sink and the wobbly thing has to be held upright while filling from the tap.

...or alternatively quality control issues. I had, like the previous review, a leaking problem. It's a sneaky problem which I am almost 100% sure of is related to the filling cap on the tank. The problem with the vertical tank is that the only thing that prevents too much water to enter the basin is the vacuum created in the tank when the water leaves it. If that vacuum is disrupted the water will just continue to flow into the basin until it overflows. In this case it's the cap that is not sealing properly. The seal gradually loosens over a couple of hours until something gives way and the water starts flowing out. So if the unit looks fine when you set it up you might wake up (hopefully) around 2 am in the morning with a wet floor. I am on my second unit now which seems ok but its being monitored closely and sits in a rubbermaid container until it proves its not a bed wetter anymore. I spoke with the distributer (Kaz) who claim that this model does not show any excessive amount of warranty claims. I am not sure if they would ever to admit to anything else though. Another potential issue I found is that the disc that are spinning inside the unit ([...]) are sometimes a bit mis-aligned. For instance one of the discs might be too close to the edge and generates a scraping noise. You can remedy this by just removing one of the discs from the axle.
Aside from these flaws I think the unit works great when in working order. The dics turn nice and quiet in the water basin and the fan is silent enough on the lowest setting. It keeps the humidity well and when it reaches the desired level it shuts off saving both electricity and on the noise levels. The unit can be set on continuous use which the manual calls "automatic". Unfortunately its not very specific about what that mode does, in my opinion it just seems like its permanently on regardless of the environmental humidity. This would be useful in the summer when the humidity is high enough for the unit to shut down but you still want to benefit from the units filtering qualities (pollen, dust, mold, etc.)
I like the fact that it has a washable filter that does not need exchanging. You have the option of an additional disposable coal filter to catch smells but its not mandatory.
The display is nice and crisp and with a pretty blue back light so it's easy to control in the dark should you need to. The display shuts off after a few seconds so you don't need to worry about that glare that some products create from persistent led's and back lights.
All in all its a good product (when working), but has some design/quality control issues that might want you to think twice, or at least make sure you have a good return policy if you are affected by these issues.
