I have several Holmes humifidiers and this one did not make the cut. The "digital" control did not work to stop the fan. The filter holder must have been designed by someone who never tried to use it. I am trying to send it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a much better humidifier than the last one but I do not understand the humidistat feature. Is there a humidistat? I use it on low at night only because of the noise on high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is our second one of these. The first one lasted a long time but didn't survive a move. The only issue we have with the new one is there is no medium, only low and Hi. That was our go to setting, Low is to low and hi is exactly that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The high speed is very loud so I rarely use it. The low speed is very quiet. The pre set humidity % don't seem to be very accurate. I have another humidity gauge I use to monitor. I have 2 other holmes models that the humidity settings seem to be more accurate than this model
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought it for my daughter, she loves it and my son also has one . I have a older model with the tanks, for at least 20 years. I need to purchase a new one at this point. Denise Wheeler

Had console humidifiers before, this is the worst of the bunch.
1. Sensor never turns humidifier on. I tried different settings but even when humidity is really low in the house (like way below 30%) and sensor is on 60% and below it never turned on. So I need to run it all the time disregarding sensor feature. Looks like a basic QC defect.
2. Noisy, like unbearably noisy on normal/High settings that my wife downstairs complained there is construction in the house. Quieter on low settings but a bit of a rattly noise.
3. Water tank construction leaves water on the bottom of the tank every time your efill. They tell us to empty the bottom so bacteria does not grow but tanks are constructed the way that every time they are "empty" there is residual water on the bottom which is not easy to empty. What genius invented that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this almost a month ago and have had less problems with dry skin and nasal passages. I find it only noisy on the highest setting.

Tank fill is poorly designed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because of the placement of the fill opening, you must hold the tank above the sink and directly under the faucet. It starts to get heavy with water at approx 8 lbs@ gallon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
