Summary: It works; but...
Comment: The humidifier does get the humidity up; but, the water jugs are awkward to fill and to get seated in the unit.
The flaw described by earlier reviewers about removing the tank caps seems to have been addressed - there is a spring loaded button and the cap is knurled and also has what I can only describe as finger tip grips.
The rounded tank does make it tricky to fill all the way up. (I need to use a one quart pitcher to finish filling it even in the kitchen sink)
The 2 tank design is nice in that each tank holds about 30 pounds of water (approx 4.5 gallons x 7 lbs/gallon) and is probably better to handle than a 9 gallon (60 pound tank) would be. But, I cannot get the knack of seating both tanks so that when one empties, to other releases its water. I come down in the morning to a unit that is not doing anything because it ran out of water in one tank (but the other tank was full). When I remove the empty tank and the full tank settles in, the unit wakes up and starts doing its job.
The side discharge does create a cold wind (even on low and ten feet away) and the high fan setting is loud but at least is a white noise.
Also - the indicator lights go off when the unit is off due to lack of water (I expected a red light but this works too). I recommend that when the unit has been off due to lack of water, you flip the filter - this seems to help prolong the filter life.

Summary: The best whole house humidifier I have owned.
Comment: I have had this unit in one of my houses since this past winter, and it is by far the best humidifier I own. It is quiet enough to keep in the bedroom at night, but powerful enough to easily humidify the 1000 square feet comfortably. With adjustable humidity settings, and 2 large tanks that you can fill separately without shutting the unit off make this very easy to use. The only thing that keeps me from 5 stars is it is difficult at time for me to get the filters due to my rural location, and the price is between 12-20 dollars depending on where I get them. Molding can be minimized with the treatment tablets (protec tank tabs) that are available, or the tiny amount of ammonia another person mentioned (if you don't mind the mild ammonia odor). I have owned 5 different brands from lasko, holmes, honeywell, hunter, and Essick, and this is the best of them all. Overall, a very good value for the extra price.

Summary: Good Value vs Performance
Comment: Overall a winner in high output humidifier. At $80, its a good buy.
3 fan speeds, at low speed-its quiet enough for sleeping, at medium speed-its good for daytime use, when you still want to watch TV or listening to music, chatting with friends, at high-speed, select this when you are not in the house....
Would recommend this product to other looking for high output humidifier.

Summary: Perhaps discontinued, but what a value!
Comment: I had a more expensive QuietCare, but its control system died. This one does not have the UV light or the humidity meter, but is simply three fan speeds and I keep the humidity knob cranked up. Arizona in the "winter" is rather low humidity. The excellent filter must be replaced about every six weeks, and Amazon Prime is like half (or less). The filter gets coated by dust, but the real filter killer is the hard water. I paid half the going rate and if it comes back, nail it.

Summary: The BENCHMARK of Humidifiers
Comment: After several years of looking for the best humidifier, I finally found it.
I previous tried warm and cool mist humidifiers and none of them have measured up to the Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Console Humidifier; best of all it is like having a humidifier and air cleaner all in one.
First off, anyone who complains about the noise of a humidifier like this doesn't quite have an understanding of the product. The fan is what moves the moisture and the sound from it is nothing compared to the so called "noise" that many reviewers on here have complained about.
Second, are the tanks. Two of them so you don't have to fill them as often.
Maybe it is me, but come on people, it is a humidifier. Too many tanks to fill, the noise is unbearable, too many parts...again, it is a humidifier and for me, I have tried all the rest and then got the absolute best....Honeywell HCM-6009 QuietCare 9-Gallon Console Humidifier.
It does the job as a humidifier is intended. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
