At what cost
Honeywell Evaporative Cool Moisture Humidifier comes with 3 color options (Black, White, White and clear) and is priced differently. Expect to pay 73 to a high 106 dollars for a brand new model. No matter which color version you choose, you will get the same water tank size, same humidity adjustment, same warranty period, and same moisture output. The high wick filter replacement cost is something you need to be aware of. On monthly replacement, the filter's cost will easily match a brand new model. Not a cheap model to maintain.Where can you buy a Honeywell HEV685W or HEV685B Humidifier? Amazon of course. It has the most color options, the best price, free shipping, and the best bundled deal. Honeywell website is also a good place to go with guarantee stock availability and competitive pricing. Both Amazon and Honeywell site has plenty of wicking filters stocked up but pricing vary depending on the package. You can try other online retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot but options are very limited.
