Homedics Hum-cm50 Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier



Great design, works well
I bought this because it was one of the cheaper humidifiers that I saw and was recommended by a friend. You can choose 4 levels of mist and I turned it to the highest right away. It was a bit slow to start, the mist was small on the highest setting but after running it overnight, I woke up to a nice strong mist in the morning. We use it in our bedroom which is a medium size and it does the job perfectly. I've been using it for a week now and wake up without dry skin and throat. I love that it oscillates and also the pleasing design. It's also whisper quiet and you can turn the blue glow and oscillation on or off. Highly recommended.

Good and bad...
Good: Output is nice and happens quickly. I keep it set directly in the middle.

Bad: Unit is a bit noisy and I find the motor droning to be more than white noise. Also, when it is set to oscillate there is sometimes a clunking noise as the head rotates.

Does not work
I bought it and it worked fine for a few months. Then, it stopped working: Mist would not come out, and in addition, it would oscilate even when the device was turned off. I returned it and got a new one. This time, it worked well for only a couple weeks before it stopped working--again, mist would not come out. Now I have to return a second unit.

I will not be making the same mistake a third time and will be purchasing a new brand.
