Baby Products Reviews of Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: Humidifies great, but requires too much work to maintain
Summary: 2 Stars
This humidifier puts a lot of humidity into the air, but it just takes too much work to maintain. The unit includes a little pamphlet that suggests flipping the filter every time you fill the tank, and occasionally running the unit until the filter goes totally dry to prevent the filter from becoming smelly. This only delays the inevitable: It will start to smell like something is rotting in your room. I went through two filters in 4 weeks. Also, if you have minerals in your water, the minerals will collect in the filter and cause the water to only go part-way up the filter, so the humidifier becomes inefficient quite quickly.Customer Review: No problems
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I did a LOT of research before finally settling on buying this humidifier. We read reviews, looked at descriptions and all that jazz. Although there were a couple negative reviews for this product we decided to purchase it anyway because of the great value, and we made an excellent choice. The filters are cheap, it's quiet, and it does a great job. We live in Utah and the climate here it extremely dry. We have both been sleeping loads better and we don't wake up with dry throats and cracked lips anymore. I say do your research and find the best deal for the price. This was ours.Customer Review: Great humidifier
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this humidifier- with the humidistat it only runs when needed. The quiet setting really is quiet- I use this setting when DS is sleeping. It's also very easy to fill. Depending on the humidity, the water can last a few days or even up to a week.
My only complaint- there's no indication when it runs out of water. I just happen to notice it keeps running and the humidity level stays low. Kind of annoying- which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
Besides that one complaint I'm very happy with it and may purchase one for our own bedroom.
Customer Review: Water tank is too fragile.
Summary: 2 Stars
Ran the Graco for the first time, went to fill the tank and since it was too large to use the sink faucet, put it under the tub faucet. It slipped, dropped a few inches into the tub and shattered. Very thin plastic, never had this problem with my old Holmes. Now that I've read all the bad reviews about the filter and I put in an Amex claim so I might get my money back on this one, I'm thinking to go for a more expensive one without a filter. This one is highly rated in all the consumer sites and none mention the stinky filter problem, but I do believe all the reviewers on this site!Customer Review: Great humidifier!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I ordered this prior to our baby coming and so far it has been great! Our apartment is relatively humid anyway (we live in WA state), but this humidifier keeps it at just the right levels. It is super quiet on the lowest setting and just makes nice white noise on the higher settings. Since it is 4 gallons we don't have to fill it too often and I love the large, easy to read numbers on the display. We have had NO problems with leaking.
This humidifier might not be for everyone but it is definitely worth considering when in the market for one.
