Happy Customer

This product is well worth the money, it works great keeps the room right where it is set. The only question I had about it was I think that the one that I got at the store was returned, because the filters had to be changed in like 3 weeks and looked really bad. So bought new filters and works even... read full review »

Plus and Minus

Things you should know about this product, before you buy. The product is visually pleasing, ergonomically it has drawbacks; discussed below. The functionality of delivering moisture into the air is adequate if you just let it run; don't bother with setting moisture levels. A feature you should discount... read full review »

4 gallons is OUTPUT

To the folks complaining about the reservoir size....humidifiers are sold based on the OUTPUT, not the reservoir size. So, a "4-gallon" advertisement is not "false advertising." Read the specs section and it will tell you what the reservoir size is. Divide the output by the reservoir size and that's how many times/day you'll have to fill it up if you run it constantly at full speed. Do you really think a 12-gallon humidifier will hold 12 gallons? Try lugging that from the sink or filling it up 1-gallon at a time.

Less than advertised

Unit does not even come close to holding 4 gallons. On lowest setting ran for 9 hours and was completely empty with NO change in the humidity level indicator. Have to fill it in the shower or use a hose if you don't have a tall faucet. Bought 2 units and will likely return them. Poor representation by the company of their product performance.

Filters are the only issue

I cannot find the filters anywhere. So before you buy it or when you do buy extra. the filters went needed to be replaced after only a month or two. I will say I do have pets and that is part of the problem. It works great and it is sturdy. My only issue is the filters.

NOT 4 Gals

Nice unit BUT WATCH OUT! If you want 4 gallons as the ad says today you will be suprised! Tank only holds 1.3 gallons and you need a deep kitchen sink or high faucet to fill it.

The best Bionaire Humidifier on the market!

Bionaire bcm645 is a wonderful addition to my fall and winter heating keeping the moisture level right where I set it. The added moisture in the house keeps us all healthier andprevents dry noses and throats. I love this thing and wouldn't be without it. It is extreemly quiet and runs 1-3 days depending on the setting before you have to refill the tank. Be sure to change the fliter wicks every few months or so to enjoy the freshness and added mositure the heating season's hot air takes away.
