Title: New model is worse than the older one
Product review: This is my second Hunter humidifier.First one was analog similar to that new digital one. It is still working.New model worked fine for one winter season- humidifying the large room.Water tank is big and very convenient to fill - we were happy and humidified!On the second season - humidity meter stopped working normally, then after two weeks unit developed ticking noise getting very loud.I am en engineer and humidifier is not a rocket science.After removing a few screws it became obvious that motor "rubs" and propeller shaft connects to the water pump through rubber tube that ages and apparently stops keeping its position, so shaft slides developing the rub of the pump propeller against the housing. Sadly omission.This is a design issue, and I may assume that now not only the manufacture is made in China, but the design too.My next model will be ultrasonic - I am tired on noise.
