The Hunter Care-Free Humidifier Plus 33257 is a cool-mist type, 2.5-gallon-capacity humidifier capable of humidifying up to 1350 square feet. Conveniently, the ‘PermaWick’ filter technology employed in this unit reduces cleaning to once per season as opposed to once per week for many warm-mist type humidifiers. Appealing features of the 33257 include a ‘NiteGlo’ tank that doubles as a nightlight, a digital set humidistat, and a filter that never needs replacement. Other features, commonly found on humidifiers of this size and price, include an antibacterial coating on filter, white dust elimination and a low speed setting. Perhaps the 33257’s only negative is its curious lack of an automatic safety shutoff when the reservoir runs dry. Also, this unit emits a cool humidifying mist that may be too cool for cold weather situations. The 33257 runs relatively quietly, but takes approximately 6 hours to reach desired humidity levels, depending on room size and starting humidity level. Therefore, to be effective the unit must be run continuously. The unit is backed by an impressive 5-year warranty.
