Heck of a big humidifier, may require some big muscles to fill

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: Delivers lots of humidity quietly. Ingenious system! If big tanks are too heavy to manipulate when completely filled, OK to fill them partially. But, tightening filler-plugs requires some hand strength.
Review: My house is small, about 1000 square feet. This humidifier is big enough for a house at least twice that size. The quality is good enough that buying two of them, making two humidifying zones for your 3000 sq. ft. house, would work out fine.

Mediocre at Best

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's okay, Maybe if you got it on sale.
Review: I recently got the opportunity to try this unit out. Because I didn't actually purchase the unit, I was willing to try it out even though I had heard some not-so-flattering things about the unit. It wasn't on my dollar! I wouldn't mind a little...

Wick Filter Technology (NOT recommended)

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Purchase a unit that employs permanent filter technology (not a wick)
Review: I have owned several portable units over the years. Everything from warm mist (which sent my electrical bills through the roof), to a couple of different cool mist units which were much more energy efficient, but nosier. It's a trade off for sure...

Nice Looking for a Large Humidifier but Mine didn't Last Long.

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: I gave the HM 3500 a below average rating only because of the problems I had with it.
Review: My unit made it just past a month of running well. The design is nice on this humidifier for such a large unit. I liked the rounded corners making it easy to place it just about any where in the house. I chose to put mine in our living room which is...

A Good Humidifier

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's a good unit for the money.
Review: I use the Holmes 3500 to humidify a 1500 sq. ft. home. I maintain a 40% humidity level (I use a humidistat) during the heating season. I leave the fan set to medium. I fill both tanks once per day.

I've used the unit for 3 months. I'm very...

Decent Performance for Price

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2007
Review: This cool-mist humidifier is very decent looking compared to a lot of other models you can find these days. It has two 3-gallon tanks on one end which are slightly hard to fill up cos you need to have some upper body strength and either some...

A very bad purchase.

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2008
Review:  This unit actually broke under its own weight. The plastic botton cracked by the wheels, due to the weight of the water when fully filled.

Loud and badly balanced, very difficult to move, or to fill the two tanks. If you screw the bottom on...

This humidifier is designed to create demand for expensive wick filters

Date of Review:  Feb 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: unless you are prepared to goof around making your own filters you probably shouldn?t buy this or any other unit that uses disposable wick filters.
Review: All things considered the Holmes HM 3500 is a perfectly acceptable humidifier that will humidify about 2000 square feet and has some desirable features such as an appropriately sized water reservoir, the multi speed fan and humidistat. That having...

More Holmes Junk

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2007
Review: Had problems with the HM3600 model and returned it for the HM3500 as it was the only model in stock. Unit cycles on and off constantly, much too often. Also creates snow on TV when it goes on and off. A neighbor has the same complaint. On top of...

Motor burned out at the start of the third season.

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2006
Review: I used the 3500 fairly extensively for two winters. But when I tried to start it up the third winter, the motor was burned out and I was stuck with three extra expensive filters.
I give it good ratings for the two years it worked; I just...
