I get a little annoyed with humidifiers that state they are "care free". I don't think there is such a thing. Even if you don't have to replace or clean a filter, anything that has water standing in it I believe will get water buildup deposits that should be cleaned.

Which is what I found with this Hunter "Care Free" Humidifier Plus. Yes, I don't have to replace filters which is nice, but the slimy deposits left by the water in the tank and tray still have to be clean out. I usually end up having to do this weekly, and the thing is so big that I usually end up doing it in the bathtub so I don't make a mess.

However, I do like the size just because of the capacity to hold enough water to not have to constantly replace the water daily. We only use ours at night in the kids room. It is a bit noisier than some, so we keep it on low (3 settings total) which is more than ample for the size of bedroom they are in, and its actually nice that way because it doubles as a fan noise which...

I purchased three of the Hunter care free humidifiers begining of last fall. One for each bedroom! None of them made it thru the whole season! I had the company replace two and send me new ones and still did not have a humidifier the entire fall and winter! So basically I went through 5 of these in less then 6 months! I followed the manual correctly and did all necessary cleaning and maintence! They all just quit, randomly! I am so dissappointed and am now researching new ones!!!

Hunter Care Free humidifer is well worth the money. Not only has it made my skin less dry it's also cute down on the amount of dust in my house. Runs very quite and is small but mighty.

I had this model for 2 years. I threw it out at the end of last winter when I tried every suggested cleaning tactic to clean the filter and the tubes inside to no avail. I even tried to replace the permawick filter w/ a disposable filter but none fit. Unless you have the time and energy to fully clean this at least once a week, I wouldn't bother with this model, it gets NASTY inside....

To the Point

The Hunter Low-Maintenance CareFree Humidifier Plus is one of several humidifiers we have in our house. Not only do our fingers crack but our hardwood floors expand if we don't keep humidifiers going.

A Closer View

This has a 1.75 gallon tank and is said to be good for rooms up to 1350 square feet. We have it in our living room with another smaller one on the other side and it never has gotten up to the humidity level we want. The output of 2.5 gallons is how much humidity it will put in the air.

I guess the NiteGlo that we have, which not all models have, is a cute little option if you keep it in a child's room; however, unless it is on low it's very noisy. During the day I keep it on low so I can hear myself think!

The NiteGlo will work even if the humidifier isn't on. It has a high and low option.

It weighs about 9 pounds and measures about 13 inches across by 11 ½ inches wide by 12 ½ inches high. When filling this it gets very heavy in spite of the handle!

One advantage......
