I've been looking everywhere for a new humidifier for my bedroom, but most of the reviews I've read on line turned me away. I purchased two from a big box store and returned them both because of the poor quality and high level of noise. I've had a Kenmore unit in my living room for years and decided to see what Sears had. I knew I chose the right one the minute I turned the unit on. Just the right amount of "white noise" to help me sleep at night. Features include 3 speeds for a manual setting, 3 speeds for an automatic setting and a timer. More than I will ever use. I'm sure this will last as long as my older unit and will run just as well. I love this machine!!! Would highly recommed it to anyone.
I ran it several nights without issue. Then it wouldn't raise the humidity above 21 according to the read-out and said the filter needed changed. I removed it and turned it over and it ran for one night (about 8 hours) and again indicated filter needed changed and wouldn't show a reading above 21. Seems like you would probably have to replace the filter at least once a week to have it function properly. I'm ordering one new filter to try again. If it performs the same way again, it will be in the trash. It's also a bit louder than I expected.
The ad verbiage and specifications all tout this as suitable for "large rooms", but when you get the box, it distinctly says the obverse - that it is for "small rooms".
Which is it, Sears?
Note - I have not taken it out of the box (yet).
I had one of these for years and when it broke I replaced it with the exact same item. The new one is super loud and clunky and the return process is a huge pain since Sears near me closed. Waste of money since I can only run it in the bedroom during the day as it keeps us up all night if on.
Best humidifier I have ever purchased. Last one I had for 20 years, the one prior I got from my aunt ,which she had maybe 30 year's. I finally broke my last one, therefore needed to replace. I dropped the container that holds the water. I tried fixing it but to no avail. Love my Kenmore humidifier. Tried others just not the same quality as yours. Highly recommend!!!!
Works excellent in any size room, and especially useful for large rooms. Easy setup and use as well as cleaning, which is a big benefit. The fan is loud on the highest of the 3 settings. This was the highest rated model on Consumer Reports when they reviewed it previously.
