I've purchesed in january of 2004 the care free humidifier plus, from Hunter; thinking that i will never need to replace the filter. After 5 months of use i stored de product.Now that is getting cold and dry again i umpacked the machine. when turned on the machine started to smell really bad like mildew so i washed it, i've tried again next day and the next one i have tried everything it dosen't work.

So I called the company and they told me to purchase a new filter. Then i asked about the:" No need to replace filter, advertisement." she told me she could do nothing about it. I paid for that humidifier 85.00 Because i tought i woulndn't have to replace the filter for at least a few years. What can I do now? Keep purchasing filters forever, when i didn't wanted to do that in the first place?

I recently bought a ceiling fan Model "The Sontera 22434", with remote control, and a multi-light fixture of three lights (bulbs not inclided). I also bought three expensive fluorescent bulbs for the multi-light fixture. Amaisingly, this expensive ceiling fan did not work with this energy-saving lamps. Hunter Fan Co., never advised to me (customer) about this failure (the Operation Manual do not mention nothing about this malfunction).

I just asked for Technical Assistance to Hunter Fan Co. via e-mail, and they answered me: "The bulbs are not compatible with this fan. For further and more personal assistance to this issue, give us a call."

I think this is not an intelligent answer from a company, as Hunter Fan Co. that says: "We are proud of our work. We appreciate the opportunity to supply you with the best ceiling fan available anywhere in the world."

I have a Hunter care Free Humidfier Model 34997 18JL Serial # 9703204 date 20602 Made in China. the motor was replaced last summer of 2002 due to a recall and I used it this winter and I notice that it was not working correctly. I looked and the motor was slowing moving. I started to smell burt hot electrical and the motor would start then stop and would get hotter then it sparked, etc. I unpluged it. I am wondering what kind of warranty do I have on a recall replacement unit and will this one be replaced of what. It seems funny that this unit was recalled due to problems of the same. What should I do?
