I have used Holmes ultrasonic humidifiers for more than 10 years. It raises the bedroom humidity closer to 45-50%-with positive effects on sinus/breathing etc. from Amazon.com I bought two different ultrasonic humidifiers at the same time ten months ago. For this one, recently, some surface materials of the ultrasonic head (piezo ceramics) started to flake off and this humidifier cannot deliver enough moisture into the air. from Amazon.com I was attracted to this product because it doesn't need a filter. I have other humidifiers - all with filters - and it's getting harder and harder to find the replacement filters. I have had the Holmes HM495 for about a month. I have a great increase in humidity, but it's produced a white dust that is on everything. from Amazon.com I bought this humidifier about 6 weeks ago when I couldn't find replacement filters for my HM1280 at the store. I was attracted to the filterless design. from Amazon.com I have owned this Holmes HM495 for over a month now (five weeks going on six) and at first I found it a bit of pain. The fill tank was designed by the same GM engine designer who came up with the idea of making the car owner remove the front tires of the vehicle to get to the spark plugs. from Amazon.com Now I get to return it. I wish I would have read these reviews before I bought it. Needless to say I will not be replacing it with another Holmes. P.s. from Amazon.com I live in a very small town. We have one variety store from which to buy things like this, and the only humidifiers they carry are Holmes. Over the past couple of years, I've bought several of these--not because I have a lot of rooms to humidify but because their products are so disposable. from Amazon.com Every Holmes product I have bought turned out to be poorly designed, never performed as advertised and Holmes customer service is useless. I'm not sure why I kept buying Holmes products, perhaps I was hoping that the previous problems I had were isolated incidents and expected that the next Holmes product I purchased would be ok. from Amazon.com I didn't like that you couldn't adjust the direction the mist went, it just went straight up and fell right back down, making the floor wet around it. Went to set it up this year and it has stopped working. The fan runs, but the ultrasonic plate won't vibrate anymore. I tried cleaning it, taking it apart, everything. from Amazon.com It drips out right on top of where the power cord enters the unit, so you are in for a real shocking suprise some day, when the water finds it's way to the power cord. I returned this unit as well. I probably should have known better, but I tried another Holmes unit, with a different design. The fan was so loud that the unit was intolerable set to HIGH, and could barely be tolerated on Low. from Amazon.com
