Does this unit last &gt;2yrs? I want a humidifier that lasts, &amp;despite regular cleaning my units stop after 1 season- hoping for a tougher model

The original unit has lasted well over a year. The additional unit was for the new baby's room. That's the best answer I can give you- hope it helps

once a year......at the end of the season you are using it to put humidity into the air. What I do is after winter is over, clean the unit real well and then install a new filter. Next time I use it......it's ready to go ~~

We have had this unit for 2 years and the last year it has become noisy, although we have cleaned it somewhat regularly. I think it is about to die, which might be why it only has a 1 year warranty.

My Eureka is over 4 years old and still going strong; I have changed the filter one time. I take very good care of my little vac. I clean the filter each time I use it and I make sure the brushes are free of lint, etc. If you take good care of your vac it should last many years, at least 5 years, and possibly more. The only reason I ordered a new vac was to have one on hand just in case Eureka stops making this vac. I really like it.

I would return it. Mine worked well for about 3 days and started doing it. It hasn't worked since. It seems like a lot of people are having issues with these humidifiers.

Easy to find the manual online but here I can send you a copy of it if you would like. I am not sure how to attach a copy of the manual to this auto response through amazon but here is the webpage which has all manuals. http://www.kaz.com/kaz/support/manual/#Honeywell Also, only using distilled water in your humidifier will prolong its life span.

The humidify auto on/off doesn't work. Might just be my unit. I like the unit because it is quiet and has 2 speeds. It was suppose to be 35% humidity on this unit.

I have had my humidifier for three years now and have never had a problem. I think if it were mine I would clean it very,very well with bleach then use water conditioner they sell for them I use the little blue ball and water conditioner both.

Which one? We own two humidifiers made by this same company. Both can run for at least 10 hours without having to change the water.

My humidifier has none of those problems, so you must have a defective unit. The only drawback I've experienced is when I fill the tank and put it back in the unit, and the bottom of the tank snags on the filter. I have to help the tank get into place past the filter, but everything works fine after that.

I'm going to borrow the answer for someone else as it does work. It's a calcium build up. It'll disable your humidifier altogether if not it's not regularly cleaned. When I first bought the humidifier, I also bought a solution that was supposed to help keep calcium buildup at bay.It didn't.So now I clean the humidifier once a month by letting the heating mechanism soak overnight (or while I'm at work) in vinegar.

Brandon, congrats on your humidor! I bought mine about a year ago and still love it. I found a few videos on youtube to help season and calibrate the hydrometer. Here is what I felt was the best. http://youtu.be/PnZukYgXUKw Just remember to use distilled water and do not soak the wood. I do soak the humidifier every month or so in the distilled water.

Maybe a year? Always had issues with mine and I've had two roombas. I wish I would have bought a different brand. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after each use.

Ours lasted about 3 years. We do clean on a regular basis and we do have a couple of small dogs plus a cat. The reason I purchased the unit was for allergies and I love it. It was not noisy, cleaned the air and now I need to get another unit. Price point, this still came out way ahead of the smaller units/filters you buy at the stores.

I Disagree with the last comment. We have had our for almost two years and have had no problems. Do need to take it outside about once every six months and break it down and clean it. I am guilty of going over a year without cleaning it and it still worked fine. Don't know what the other folks problems were. They never did say. Even if it breaks down in two year, I'll just buy another one.

I would suspect that yes, you need to replace your humidistat. I have an Aprilaire humidifier and my digital humidistat went bad. Since my humidifier was aging, I replaced it also. I went back to the "manual" humidistat since it's simple and no electronics to go bad. The only thing the digital humidistat buys you is an outdoor temperature sensor (thermocouple) that automatically adjusts the setting based on the outdoor temperature ...sounds good but not that big of a deal. I set my manual humidistat a couple times ...when I expect the temperature to routinely get below 20 deg and then when I expect it to be above 20 deg. Never had a problem with that. Good luck!
