Product Description
Your body needs moisture to function properly, but the minute you shut the windows and turn the heat on, you start to reduce the humidity in your home from the optimal level of 40-50 percent down to 20 percent. The result? Dry air, which deprives your lungs and respiratory system of moisture, and makes you susceptible to illness and the common cold. Humidifiers combat this, moisturizing air and creating a healthier, more comfortable environment. Holmes HM729-UC 1 gal. output cool mist humidifier with FilterCheck filter monitor to tell you when to change your filter. Arm & Hammer odor removal, 2 speeds high and low, runs up to 18 hours per filling, perfect for small rooms.

Calling this a "Humidifer" is a stretch November 1, 2007

I strongly recommend against purchasing this item. I bought one last week and I have been trying to figure out what I have been doing wrong ever since. What it comes down to is this- this is NOT a humidifer.
What is it, then, you might ask? I will tell you. It is a bucket of water, with a sponge (aka a "filter") soaking in it and a little fan sitting on top. It's a bit like calling a chair next to an open window a "clothes dryer." There is also a meaningless "filter cleanliness" guage on top which is a joke- it's not even attached to anything! There is nothing in the thing which actively evaporates the water. It seems the designers simply hoped enough water would naturally evaporate to fool us into thinking the "dehumidifier" was doing something. This thing has been on for 4 nights running, on high, in an incredibly dry room, and it appears that not an ounce of the water has evaporated.
This item is a complete and utter waste of money. I am going BACK to the store tonight, to get a humidifier which is not a Holmes.

You may as well throw your money directly down the drain, at least that'd save you some time. When I opened the box upon getting home, i was astonished to find it was simply a fan over a container for water! Despite my initial misgivings, I decided to try the product overnight and to no surprise, it did NOTHING towards humidifying the room. Its a waste of money and electricity.
don't waste your $! November 4, 2007

This is the worst product as far as cool mist humidifiers go. I just bought it today. I agree with the previous review...it's just a bucket of H2O with a *wick filter* & just a fan blowing cool air. I, too, thought it was missing a piece or I did something wrong. I just returned a Vicks one as it was too loud & there was no on/off switch, but it worked! I'm going to return this one first thing in the morning. Don't waste your money!

I just bought this, and I completely agree with the other reviews. this is completely worthless... I would do a better job by just flicking water into the air with my hands. If you are thinking about buying this, either save your money and just drape wet towels around the room to evaporate (it works better than this useless thing) or buy something else. I returned this and bought the crane frog humidifier and it was great, for about $12 more.
I would rate it at zero as in DONT BUY THIS December 18, 2007

Not a good design for a humidifier. There is no mist and the water really doesnt get used up as the others say. Holmes should be sued by somebody if they dont recall this product and give compensation for people like myself. I used this on a DRRRRRRRRY wintry night for my kids and there was no relief for them from the cough they had. I called the number that was given on the product (for Important Use and Care Information) and all I got was an automated voice to which I had to give all my address and phone no. information and after doing almost all of it I couldnt get it to understand my last name and it wouldnt let me get the IMPORTANT use and care instructions! Of course, I am returning it.
