Why it matters
The Honeywell HE300A1005 Humidifier is an ultrasonic humidifier with a 18 gallons per day tank.
Run time per fill, per the maker: 24 hours.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold. Use distilled or demineralized water to avoid the white mineral dust ultrasonic mist leaves behind.
Its stated run time of 24 hours is one of the shortest run times we cover: 4 of the 69 humidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 10 hours to 130 hours.
Price-wise it sat in the dearest third of the 74 ultrasonic models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our list Best Cool Mist Humidifiers, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Compared with the Honeywell HUL520BC Humidifier: run time 24 hours here vs 20 hours.
