Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have 2 older Holmes humidifiers that are designed almost identical to the 6012i.The problem is, the humidistat is so sensitive that they cycle on and off frequently.The 6012i does not do that.Also, the Holmes does not have caster wheels, so they are a pain to move out of the way to clean.The Honeywell rolls out of the way using your foot. And no, it doesn't fall apart in a pile.You have to use a little judgment where you push from.Push from the base, not from the control unit or the water containers.
As far as the other bad review, I don't know what to say.I've got one 6012i and one 6011i.They are both on carpet.They do not leak.However, I'm sure that an accident could happen that could cause a leak, which in turn could cause some minor water damage.However, I've had the Holmes humidifiers for about 4 years and never had an accident.
The Honeywell is much quieter than the Holmes unit and easier to fill.I have the 2 units running in a 3000 square foot home.In the dead of winter when the furnace is running a lot, I have to fill them about every 36 hours.I keep the humidity at about 35%.
As far as having to re-wet the filters each time, that's only if you run it completely dry and the filter becomes dry.You don't 'have' to re-wet the filter, but it will make it begin humidifying much quicker.I check mine every day or so.That way they never run dry.
Also, the replacement filters are about half the price compared to the Holmes filters.
One last comment. I do like the 6012i over the 6011i because it has a digital humidistat.You can set it at the exact humidity you want.It will show where your house humidity is, plus where you are set.The 6011i has a knob that you turn to run more or less often.If you buy this unit, you need to have a humidistat in your house so you can see just where the humidity level is.They cost $25-$40.So, just get the 6012i and forget having to buy the humidistat.
All in all, it's a great unit.Far better than anything else I ever used.
