Baby Products Reviews of Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: very nice unit
Summary: 5 Stars
Graco true air 4 gallons humidifier is definately a good product. I have never owned any humidifiers before but reading other reviews I decided to get this one and I am satisfied.
Humidifer has 3 operation speeds: ultra quiet, medium and high. Humidity level goes up the fastest while operating at the highest level but it is also very loud. What I found useful for myself and my wife is turning humidifier at the high level until it reaches 40% and lowering to ultra quiet position. This way we do not hear it so bad while sleeping. We only use this humidifier at night while we and our baby sleeps.
Usually we have to refill it every other day with water so there is no problem with it.
overall it is very nice unit for one medium size room. it reaches 40% humidity (from about 25%) within several minutes at the highest level.
hope you will find this review helpful
Customer Review: It is a great humidifier but the filters are expensive
Summary: 4 Stars
About 6 month ago our then 14 month old son had a very bad cold which resulted in breathing problems at night time. Our doctor recommended the purchase of a cool mist humidifier for his room to make breathing easier for him. We did some research on the internet and continuously stumbled across the Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier. It had pretty good overall ratings and was in an affordable price range so we went ahead and gave it a try.
So far we haven't had any problems with our unit. It is super easy to use, has a large tank for your convenience, is quiet and doesn not (unlike some cheaper models) leave a water puddle on the carpet within 4 feet of the humidifier.
I am glad we made that purchase however those filters do go bad rather quickly and replacements are on the pricey side. This might not be the solution for someone on a tight budget!
Customer Review: Doesn't even cover 220 sq ft
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item a few weeks back based on all the great reviews. After receiving it and using it in our 220 sq ft bedroom I contacted Graco because it would not raise the humidity past 42% although it was set at 50% (which is the recommended setting). I sent it back and received a new one. The new one did the exact same thing. After trying it in various rooms I found that it would work well in small rooms (10 x 12 types) but nothing much bigger, even though it's rated for 1200 sq ft. The company has given me great customer service overall and has agreed to refund the money I paid for it. Another point I should make is that the filter wears out quickly creating more cost. I only used the first unit for about a week and the filter was looking pretty rough. After researching this I found that other people complained about the same thing.Customer Review: Good Humidifier, Filter Sales Extortion
Summary: 1 Stars
These humidifiers do an exceptional job humidifying decent sizes rooms. I have a son with a medical condition that needs humidified air, so we have three of these going in my house. I run them a lot, and have not had the problems others have written about them smelling after two weeks. I think I run enough water through them that it stays fresh between frequent cleaning. However, after a little over two weeks I have enough mineral build up that the filters hardly work after a little more than two weeks. At $60 dollars to keep my humidifiers running once every two or three weeks I feel like a victim of Graco. If you buy one, be sure to turn the filter over every time you fill a tank up with water. It extends the life of the filters a little.Customer Review: extremely annoying and poor durability
Summary: 1 Stars
Piece of trash! If you're reading reviews written just after someone bought this thing, ignore them. Sure it's all fine and dandy in the beginning...I have used this humidifier for 2 seasons (total of about 7 months, and have had to replace the cap and gasket 3 times. The new cap they just sent me STILL LEAKS all over the floor, rendering the entire thing useless. I give up! And on top of that, when it DID work, I had to replace the filter every 10 days or so (not every 3 months as they advertise). My friend down the street with the same humidifier has the same problem. After a week or so, it starts turning brown and smelly. And this is despite cleaning the tank and tray nearly every time, and turning the filter each time as recommended.
