I just got my humidifier yesterday. I set it up and started it up last night in my fairly large living room that is always bone dry. By this morning it was out of water and the room was significantly more humid. I would note that even on the lowest level, the unit makes a distinct hum. At low and medium, there is not much air noise but a significant amount of air is still being pushed. At high, the air noise becomes very noticable, but it sure pushes a lot of water out.
The separate water tanks are a mixed blessing. Apparently it uses one up before it goes to the other, so if you were filling them quickly, you may only have to fill one. But it goes through water so fast that it seems unlikely you'd ever need to just fill one. When you have to fill both, it requires two trips to fill it. I guess it would get heavy to carry one big tank, but I think I'd prefer it.
Also, the unit is large. I wasn't quite prepared for how large it is. Looking at it, I'm not sure how they could have made it smaller and still have it do the same job.. but it is quite big.
EDIT: I'd also like to say that I just filled both tanks in my sink setting them both upside down on their tops while filling and they didn't fall over. They weren't particularly stable, but they didn't fall over and I filled both and carried them both back to the unit (the seals at the bottom held while I carried them back right-side-up) without incident. Just as a response to everyone who has complained about that.

Honeywell HCM-6011i QuietCare 11-Gallon Console Humidifier with Air Washing Technology
We are running constantly this humidifier with very little change in humidity. I need humidity to run a garment printer, and this is just not doing it.

Yes, this unit isn't that great, but I needed a humidifier and couldn't find anything better after a long search. I have found one more problem for users: the handle on each tank is only cemented on and can separate if you carry a filled tank by the handle. When this happened to me the tank fell to the ground, broke into many pieces, and a gallon of water was on the floor. However, according to Kaz, this is NOT a warranty defect because the handle was not designed to carry a full tank of water! It should always be supported from below. A replacement tank is about $28.

I first bought a QuietCare for a small server room that was suffering from low humidity. It was able to keep the humidity around 30% and needed refilling only twice a week, even in the low humidity months of Winter. It worked so well that I bought one for my house. It's quiet enough that I was able to place it in our main living space, and the sound is noticeable only when the house is quiet and I'm near the unit. I've just put our home humidifier away for the season, and I found it was surprisingly easy to clean and dry. I would recommend this product for anyone who needs a medium to large humidifier.

We have used the humidifier around the clock. It has saved us from the constant dry air we have during the winter due to the pellet stove and summer due to the dry air. What a great product!
