    Do everything to your best ability! March 10, 2011

    We've owned this humidifier since January and overall I'm very pleased. This humidifier does what it says. Our house is about 1700 sq. ft. finished and it maintains the humidity above 40% without a problem. Just place the unit by a cold return vent. No more dry skin or static sparks. I fill the bottle once a day. We set it on auto and it does the rest. When the fan kicks up to a higher speed, it is a little noisy, but I can live with that. The bottle that is filled has a draw back, you can't fill it under a kitchen sink, you have to fill it under the tub's faucet, again I can live with that. We haven't bought a new filter yet, I guess the filter is to help stop the white particles from flying around the house. I haven't tried running the humidifier without it to check if this actually works.

    Would I recommend this product to family or friend? Yes.

    Would I spend the money and buy it again. Yes.

    Only One Complaint December 07, 2008

    We were very impressed with this humidifier and all its features; however, after several hours we realized the unit did not provide an accurate humidity reading. We compared the reading to two other humidity meters in the house and verified the inaccuracy. The humidity sensor is located on the power cord, near the unit itself and in the direct path of the moist air flow. This design feature compromises the accuracy of the humidity reading. We reluctantly returned our unit to the store.

    Kenmore 12 Gal Humidifier is GREAT February 06, 2012
    By shoblock of Ledgewood, NJ
    Pros:
    Does the job well.,Dependable

    Great product.  I fill it 3 times a day, and run it 24x7 from October thru April and it has outlasted several other humidifiers.

    If you always use filerted water, it requires less cleaning.  And the life of the filter pads can be extended - when it needs changing, rinse it (to remove dust) and turn over. Then when it needs replacing again, soak in bleach and water to clean and reuse one more time.

    Works great! January 23, 2012
    By bauerod of Billings, MT
    Pros:
    Quiet,Does the job well.

    Works great.  We use in a 2600 sq ft house and have to fill the water container once to twice daily.  Only flaw I see at this point is the humidy sensor reads the humidity higher than what it.

    By hinderliter of Lickingville, PA
    Pros:
    Quiet
    Cons:
    need filled too often

    Kenmore 8 Gallon Humidifier is quiet and does the job...but it needs refilled constantly.  During dry inside conditions we fill the humidifier up to three times a day!

    works well in sm areas; maintenance quick & easy December 28, 2011
    By lbgilbertKCMO of Kansas City, MO
    Pros:
    Quiet,Dependable,Does the job well.
    Cons:
    Noisy on high

    Due to a medical need, we need to try to keep 50% humidity in our home. Because we have zoned HVAC for our 85-year old home, decided to go with 2 of this smaller model humidifier rather that the larger model. The upstairs unit serves primarily about 350 sq. ft. in the sleeping area and works beautifully on F1 at 50% humidity setting. We choose to use F1 to prevent the loud fan setting you get for a while when you use the Auto setting. The HVAC vents are in the ceiling on this level which seems to help this unit keep up with the higher humidity setting. NOTE: We use an additional cool mist humidifier at the bedside (with distilled water to prevent the white dust) for focused humidity during the night.

    On the main level, the same 350 sq. ft. space opens into the front entry, stairway up and dining room (adding about an additional 350 sq. ft.). I can't tell if the unit may be a bit undersized since it has to run much more to achieve 50% humidity...it could be due to the additional space, the fact that the HVAC vents are on the floor, or because the front entrance to the house in is the same room (when the door opens more than narrowly & briefly, the humidity drops dramatically).

    The units are EASY to refill, light (when empty), and mostly comfortably quiet. With the filter and using bacteriostat, maintenance is easy. Overall we are thrilled with the purchase. We selected the Sears product because it had very high ratings on a compilation of reviews by several rating organizations (or rather the larger model did) and it was affordably priced compared to the highest rated product. To add bacteriostat adds minimal operating cost. Haven't had to change filters, so can't comment on that yet. Thanks, Sears, for a great product.
