Baby Products Reviews of Graco 4 Gallon Cool Mist Humidifier
Customer Review: Quit working after 2 months
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm really disappointed with this humidifier. It stopped working after two months (I turn it on and nothing happens). During the short period of time that it WAS working, it did very little to elevate the humidity in a single small room. Also, the hygrometer that is built into the humidifier is not accurate. It showed a much higher humidity percentage than was shown on a high quality free-standing (properly calibrated) hygrometer that I also kept in the room. It is way too expensive to operate so poorly and last such a short time. I would recommend looking elsewhere.Customer Review: WORKS WELL WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRICK
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this as a replacement for the Hamilton Beach model which I have had for years. I learned the trick to keeping it from getting smelly....let the tank run out of water but keep the machine running. It dries out the filter. The filter gets smelly when it remains constantly wet. Since we work during the day, this isn't a problem. I fill the tank half-full at bedtime and then ignore it. By 10AM the next morning, the tank will be empty and the fan will blow dry the filter until I fill the tank again, the next evening. Seems to work.Customer Review: after 5 humidifiers, this is THE BEST ONE
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried many different humidifiers from the local home improvement stores before going on line to pick from the best customer reviews. This one is perfect. It has a digital humidity setting and shuts off when the room reaches that humidity level. The noise level is perfect to provide a background white noise in a baby's room.
The only thing to know is that this unit does not turn off when the water runs out. It is ok for me, b/c I don't want the white noise to end. Besides that, a great product. Would definately recommend.
Customer Review: SO expensive to run!
Summary: 1 Stars
I cleaned the unit every day and filled it with water run through a very good quality countertop filter. Even doing this, I went through two $11 filters per WEEK (TWENTY-FOUR TIMES as many filters as stated by the manufacturer!), and simply couldn't afford to spend nearly $90 a month (just in filters!) to run a humidifier. That is, putting it simply, absolutely insane. Design is faulty -- filtered water shouldn't trash a brand-new filter in less than four days. I don't know anyone who could afford $90 a month for humidifier filters.Customer Review: Not Worth It!
Summary: 1 Stars
After just over month of usage, the humidifier died. Now, the humidistat is reading "HI" everytime it's turned on, which means it won't work until the 'humidity' goes down. My GPS clock is reading that my indoor humidity level is 17% at the moment...
I am going to see what Graco will do to to honor their warranty. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this humidifier for purchase.
And yes, as others have stated, the filter wears out very quickly. You will need to change it every 3-4 weeks.
