Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hunter 33202 Carefree Humidifier Plus
Customer Review: Noisy Fan Plus Loud Vibration
Summary: 1 Stars
I just got this humidifier yesterday and used it in my bedroom for the first night. I was able to sleep over the sound of the fan, but then at 6:00 AM I started hearing a lot of noise. At first I thought that the neighbors were playing the stereo. Then, I thought that someone was warming up a Harley in the parking lot. It turned out to be the humidifier. It was making a very loud vibration noise, which was even worse in the room below. I put it on a milk crate to get it off the carpet and put some padding underneath it. That helped, but if it doesn't any better in the next few nights, it is going back.I have the yellow stuff in the water too, but it is just the anti-bacteria coating from the filters so it is not a problem.
Customer Review: Don't buy it.

I've had two of these. The first started leaking water after a couple weeks. The leak got bad enough that it would go through a full tank of water in a few hours. Threw that one out. Bought a new one for the following winter. After a day or two, it started puking orange-brown grease inside itself. I cleaned the grease out as best I could, and it worked for another two weeks, before the motor burned out. Just threw that one away, too. Oh, and the treated filter does not mean you don't have to add chemicals to prevent mildew and mineral deposits--you have to do this with every refill or risk getting sick. There must be better humidifiers out there!!!Customer Review: This one's a true DUD

I purchased this humidifier in December. Less than two months later it has stopped working. Dealing with customer support has been a waste of time. They provided some instructions that did not even apply to the model I purchased. Lots of run around in email chains also, appearing that they have techinical support, but when it comes down to it, they'll ask you to lug it back to wherever you purcahsed it. If I could rate it a negative star, on a one to five scale, this one would get a -5 and their customer support a -5. Oh forget the 5 year warranty. With all the run around, I doubt it will be honored.Customer Review: "Carefree"?????

I bought 2 of these humidifiers less than a year ago without reading the reviews. There's nothing "Carefree" about them...constant cleaning is a must, and I've replaced the 4 filters twice (at $8 each plus shipping...I couldn't find them at any store). Cleaning the filters per the manufacturer's instructions was a pointless waste of time. I have water with slightly high iron content, but I filtered it & still had problems. They were both due for yet another cleaning last night and halfway through I decided I've invested too much time in these "carefree" units and threw them away.Customer Review: DO NOT BUY!!!

I have owned at least 5 humidifiers and I believe this is the worst! The water in the bottom turns yellow and yucky stuff floats in it after one night of running...It's a pain in the rear to clean!!! and doesn't come clean very well at all! And to top it off, I've owned it for 3 months and it sounds like the motor is giving out already...when I put it on high it starts up good and then in a few seconds, it's barely running! And it doesn't feel like it's putting much cool mist out into the air either....Poor choice for a humidifier...don't waste your money!
