When the weather is extremely hot and dry, it can lead to minor or severe health issue that makes you uncomfortable. Symptoms such as itchy eyes and skin, cracked lips and skin; even static shock around the home are caused by dry condition. Fortunately, there is an artificial way to moisturize the air around you. This can be done through the use of an electrical appliance called a humidifier. Based on this, the Honeywell HCM350W Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier is a good choice to make because in addition to humidifying, it makes the air cool and germ free.

Cons
They are complaints about the filter growing mold and mildew badly if you don’t pay attention to it. I think this is manageable with frequent care and cleaning. However, you will be replacing your filter fairly often for this reason. You should therefore consider this added expense if you are comparing the cost of this unit to another.
Also, complains about the replacement filters being expensive and may run into cost greater than the purchase price subsequently.
In conclusion,
The Honeywell HCM350W humidifier is one of the cheapest in the market, plus it designed with self-cleaning mechanism to keep the water being dispersed in the air germ free. The only problem seems to be with the cost of filter replacement. But with detailed maintenance and care, this item should last you longer before needing major changes.
