0ur opinion: :Compact and unobtrusive, the Honeywell HWM255 quietly humidifies a room with an area of up to 350 square feet, providing comfort in very dry environments. Geared to provide up to 3 gallons of daily output, the tank itself holds about 1-1/2 gallons of water. This helps keep the unit size relatively compact so you can conveniently place the HWM255 virtually anywhere in your room. A built-in humidostat advises how much moisture has been emitted. There's also a built-in timer so the machine only works when you need it, great for maximizing comfort and saving energy. Auto Shut 0ff turns the device off when out of water. Honeywell's EZ-Care system makes filling and emptying really simple. The water tank is dishwasher safe for quick and thorough cleaning.

* don't bother ...
The humidistat didn't work at all. Seems like other folks have had the same problem. I would pass on this model.

Poor product
Poorly designed, and in general, bad quality. I purchased two from separate retailers, and both stopped working -- one after 6 months and the other after about a year. The small tank also meant I ran it overnight, and had to fill it up every morning. Would not purchase again.

* It won't work after one/two weeks ...
I saw other reviews that this unit has problem after few weeks.
It won't power on later, I thought it won't happen to me.
I took the chance, but bought it from a local store.
If it had problem, I could exchange it.
And it happened! It won't power on after I just used two weeks.
This is a great unit if it works. If I were you, I would buy it from a local store :-)

Hard to Clean
This unit seemed like it would be easy to fill and clean, but both proved to be difficult. It gets moldy easily and the mold is hard to remove from the plastic tray. Also, I cleaned it as per the instructions and put it away for the summer, and when I reopened it this fall to use it, it had rusted and grown a shocking amount of mold over the summer.

* This is NOT a 3 gallon humidifier ...
Similar to another customer, I was fooled by the deceptive product description. I also find the controls to be inconsistent. My previous Honeywell humidifier was excellent but now the quality appears to be in decline.
