Honeywell HWM845 Warm Mist Humidifier with Essential Oil Cup Filter Free Black

A: mine had it for a few cycles then stopped . It wasnt terrible, obviously not pleasant but not a deal breaker . I dont like to smell chemicals but for the limited time it did it i felt like it was ok

A: I just received my unit yesterday and can confirm that it does have an absolutely terrible stench. It was so bad that my roommate down the hall started yelling in disgust and asking what that smell was. I took it outside today and ran it on high for a couple hours but that did not help. I just put it back outside to run for longer, if I remember I will come back with an update.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Occasionally, new units can have a "plastic" smell from the plastic that the units come wrapped in. If you place the humidifier into a well ventilated area for a few hours, this will allow the smell to dissipate. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: I wish I would have read these before I purchased it. I have been running mine for weeks now and the horrible chemical plastic stench will not go away. It angers me to see the reply about it being the plastic that it is wrapped in and don't want anyone to be fooled by it. The smell is coming from the unit itself and it's obvious. I took it apart and washed it and it did nothing. I'm very angry as I've always bought Honeywell and now I have to find a new humidifier brand.

A: Mine has continued to emit the smell, which is no doubt toxic, and I would recommend against purchasing this humidifier. They told me to run it for 12 to 24 hours straight on high power, which I had already done (I've had it a little more than a week) but did so again, and it didn't clear up the problem as they said it would. Absolutely unacceptable and probably dangerous to your health.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Sometimes a new unit can have a plastic smell from the packaging. We would advise airing the unit out for a few hours in a well ventilated area and this should get rid of the smell. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

A: This tank is a little bit smaller than one gallon. It is maybe 9/10 of a gallon. I tried 3 times to fill it from a one gallon bottle of water, and 1 gallon of water never fit in this tank.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. This humidifier holds 1 gallon in the water tank. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. You can use regular tap water with this unit. You can also use, or mix in, distilled water to reduce the mineral content of the water. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: If you use distilled water, it will not work at all. It BOILS the water and it gets very hot, so my whole house smelled like chlorine. I loved this machine except for that, and returned it.

A: You must pull it off and turn it upside down to fill it. However, it has a great built in handle, very large easy open cap, and holds less than 1 gallon of water. So I found it very easy to fill.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. This is not a top fill model. You must remove the tank from the unit in order to fill it. We hope this is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We can be reached by emailing SocialSupport@kaz.com. Thank you.

A: Thank you for your inquiry Gloria. This is a Warm Mist Humidifier, and it uses a heating element to boil the water. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. The heating element gets got enough to boil water. However, the plastic is made to transmit heat poorly, meaning the unit will not get very hot. However, it will still be very warm while running and we do not advise trying to move the unit while it is running and to let it sit for at least 15 minutes once it is turned off before moving it. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. The steam from this unit cools down in the cooling chamber so that by the time it leaves the unit, the steam is mostly incorporated into the air and barely visible. The build up you are seeing in the heating chamber is the minerals in your water being left behind when the water boils. This unit needs to be descaled weekly when in daily use to remove the build up. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: We will be happy to provide that information. Yes, the water in the unit will not come in contact with any parts that contain BPA. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Most often when retailers offer a warranty, this will not take effect until after the normal warranty has passed. However, for more information about the exact terms of this additional warranty, we would advise contacting Target directly for more information. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.
