Pretty Good
Positives: You can fill one tank or both, both tanks full lasts about 3 nights. Antibacterial quality is superior to Boneco silver stick. Simple operation.
Negatives: Loud gurgling noises, can be tough to endure without earplugs. No timer or humidistat to customize use. Single fixed flow direction which doesn't allow multiple output directions and requires moving the entire unit to the aim your desired direction of output.
Overall I am very pleased with this unit despite the amount of negatives listed. I use filtered water and I can often go over a month without cleaning the unit. I really get frustrated by the constant cleaning required by many other units that accumulate bacteria. That is a huge, and at the $100 price point this is a solid buy.

Twins!
I love the twin tank design. Very quiet, select cool or warm mist. I only use when super cold and furnace drys out the air. So, about two months max each winter. Too bad it only lasted 3 winters. For $100.00 unit, I felt it wore out prematurely. I used the filter pellets as instructed to prevent any mineral deposits. I am reluctant to purchase same brand again.

It's a winner!
We live in the South Plains area of West Texas. This is a semi-arid environment. My husband purchased this humidifier in 2016 and it has made a tremendous difference in our lives. Our house is more comfortable indoors and our skin doesn't dry out. Great product...I would definitely recommend.

Take care of it....it takes good care of you !
We've had earlier model of this unit for 4 years now. We've use it continuously (24 x 7) during the 5 "colder months" here in North Carolina winters when our gas furnaces lower inside humidity. We use refrigerator-filtered water in the two side reservoirs and when filled, the unit will run about 48 hours. We replace the blue filter demineralization cartridges on each side after about 30 tank refills (filtered water) and this seems to keep the unit running optimally, with no 'scale' on exterior. It operates with virtually no noise. We have a separate electronic indoor/outdoor temperature & humidity indicator in our dining area (separated from the humidifier by a wall and doorway) and run the humidifier in our kitchen on the 'island' countertop. Interior humidity will vary, of course, with ambient outside temps, dew points, and humidity, but inside humidity levels on entire first floor (open architecture) rarely drop below 32% when the humidfier is set at "half throttle". Use of the unit makes a MARKED difference in our general wintertime health -- especially for sinuses. Also keeps houseplants and pets happier. It's best to turn off the unit, disassemble and clean it every 6 weeks or so to remove crud that comes in all water sources (city water treatment microparticulates that even our frig filter doesn't catch). Disassembly and cleaning is very easy. Periodic use of 1/8 cup of clear white vinegar in each side reservoir also will reduce any 'scaling' buildup from hard water sources. Do we recommend this unit ?? Absolutely, wholeheartedly and 150% YES !! Our's has HUNDREDS of hours of use now with zero problems and when it finally dies, we will instantly replace it with the newer -- and hopefully just as reliable -- model. Just take reasonable care of it by giving it a thorough cleaning each Spring before putting away for hot summer months....and it will "light right off" the next Fall -- and keep you much healthier during the winter ! This is a stunning "home run" product for Homedics -- an extremely well-designed and executed product !!

My husband bought this for me christmas 2016. It is by far the best humidifier we've owned. I love the strong steam it gives out. And with the warm air setting, It makes breathing pleasant at night .

Disappointing
Purchased this unit 2 years ago. The unit began making loud sounds after a few months of use. I diagnosed it to the fan motor which was glued in to place. A better engineering design on the fan placement is needed. Also, the transducer wears out and will not produce the mist needed to humidifier a room. I was hoping to get more longevity out of this unit. Very disappointed with this purchase.

Homedics Warm and Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier
I bought the CM85A in November 2016 and I liked it so much that I ordered the WM70 in December. In addition, I ordered one each of these two models as Christmas Present for two people. What I like most about them is their quiet operation at all times. You don't even know it's there until you look in it's direction; but you feel it's presence. Thanks, Homedics.
