Tellement contente de l’avoir enfin reu ! 2 mois d’attente ayant fait une pr-commande. Je n’avais pas de date de livraison alors qu’il tait nouveau disponible et propos par Amazon. J’ai donc du annuler et refaire ma commande. Bref, il est top ! La possibilit de mettre 6 litres d’eau, de pouvoir fixer une dure de fonctionnement ou de taux d’humidit ne pas dpasser est vraiment intressante. La tlcommande est aussi un petit + apprciable.
As an avid grower with a lot of houseplants that love high humidity, this humidifier is absolutely amazing. The big 6 liter tank, timer, humidity control, rotating nozzles and the warm/cold mist function are super handy. It’s located not far from my bed, and I barely hear any noise from it.
It’s filled from the bottom which many people dislike, but I’ve had no issues with lifting the tank up, filling it and placing it back down. This is on another hand a humidifier I wouldn’t recommend for people that can’t grip to things properly as you might drop the tank after you’ve filled it.
Another thing is the humidity settings. If you set a desired humidity to for example 65%, it seems to always go 5% under the setting you choose – which is actually a bit annoying.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the product.
Lo uso todos los das y me encanta. Tiene mando a distancia y se puede programar. El aire caliente est muy bien, me gusta mucho, pero con esa funcin hace mucho ruido para mi, por lo que para dormir lo pongo en aire fro, que no hace nada de ruido.
El llenado del depsito es por abajo y bastante incmodo, deberan hacerlos por arriba, pero bueno, an as, lo recomiendo mucho, es de muy buena calidad y funciona muy bien.
Bon produit
Bonne brulisation
Jolie design
On peut teindre l’cran c’est un plus
Le remplissage est un ok mais toujours quelques gouttes tombent
La rgulation se fait par palier de 5%, c’est trop grossier mon got
Il faut placer l’appareil en hauteur sinon le capteur d’humidit est expos au brouillard et la mesur fausse cause l’arrt de l’appareil
I love this little guy. Lots of settings, super quiet and really helps with dry sinuses. But it’s a pain to refill the tank-it’s big and a bit awkward.
El dato negativo es que hay que poner el aparato encima de una toalla para que empape el vapor al caer al suelo
Ottimo prodotto, semplice da usare. Unica particolarit, prevede utilizzo di acqua demineralizzata, e ne consuma tanta.
Da ich immer im Winter mit der trockenen Luft in der Wohnung meine Probleme habe, hab ich mich fr das Gert entschieden. Ich finde es leise, es hat einige Einstellungen groer Wassertank und Fernbedienung. Super Sache.
Have had this unit for about a month now. I use it in our large bedroom at night. We have had no problem with grey film as some have said. Our water is pretty good and not rated as very hard so that may be part off the reason. I also use Antimicrobial sticks in the tank which I think helps keep minerals down that cause the grey dust of film some complain about. I have experienced no leaks at all. I did note that you have to be careful to seat the screw top carefully on the tank after putting water in it. It is easy to not seat it correctly which I think would cause some people to have leaks. I have used the unit on “auto” so it generates mist when the on board humidity control is between 55 and 68. That seems to be fine for us. However, I did note that a separate humidity measure did not say we were getting the humidity that the unit itself noted. Not sure, therefore, what to make of the numbers or the difference but the humidity seems to be good as far as a lack of dry nose at night which is what I was most concerned about. Also, an evaporator humidifier that we had before this one also did not produce the humidity that would show a big increase on our separate humidity measure instrument so maybe it is my separate instrument. The main point is that as far as our experience of dryness in the room at night, this unit is taking care of that problem for sure. It is very quiet. The “night light” on it has not been a problem for us and it can be turned off if needed. The only issue I have had is that my hands are big enough that it is a little difficult to get my hand and a rag in the tank opening to clean it thus the three stars on that part.
Like: design,
Do not like: not easy to transport from one room to another. No handle.
And if you disconnect it you need to set up the humidity again. Otherwise it sets automatically 95%
Muy buen producto. Con opcin de vaporizacin en fro y caliente. Lo hemos comprado en negro. Permite tambin aadir unas gotas de aceite aromtico para vaporizar con aroma.
When I got this I didn’t know what to expect since I have never owned a humidifier before. I was expecting some level of noise but I hear nothing from it. It works especially well when I have my heater on (I can’t stand the cold so I am at a comfortable 82F/29C) since my air is always dry. Due to my heat preference, I have to fill it every day (again, 82F/29C is hot for most people) so I wish they offer a bigger tank size but that is not a deal-breaker. The final thing to note is that after I just it once, I can forget about it till it runs out of water or I lose power (it resets all settings if you unplug it or lose power). I am 100% satisfied with this
Very efficient in terms of steam output but a little noisy( sounds like it’s raining on a metal roof)
The humidifier works pretty well, our room is pretty big so it keeps the room pretty humid. But mainly it’s used for my by son next to his crib. The mist comes out strong and reach him even when he moves around the bed. The only issue is that the humidity sensor is off sometimes. It’ll shut off randomly at night cause it thinks it has reached the humidity level that it’s set at but I wake up to a very dry room, so I would have to turn it back on again. So that’s the only issue at the moment.
Bought 2 of these when my cheaper humidifiers died for the 2nd time in a few months after purchase.
Have had these about 2 months but only started using 1 about a month ago. So far it works great, only downfall would be when using in a tent the humidity gauge on the humidifier tends to turn the humidifier off before the rest fo the tent has reached the same percentage of humidity.
Also, one time the humidity Guage did not stop the humidifier and turn it off, so my humidity reached nearly 90% simple reset of the humidifier fixed this issue.
Solid 4/5 stars
It’s quiet, it keeps the air at the humidity I need it to be, it’s easy to fill. It’s a little annoying to clean though. I still would totally buy again.
Great humidifier. Very sleek looking and simple to use with how complex it looks. Not the easiest to clean though and the meter is inaccurate. So only four stars.
I am compelled to tell you what an excellent customer service team Levitt has. I purchased this unit exactly 2 years back, and since then it has worked perfectly well. My children need humidification for allergies and dryness, and since we started using the unit, there has been much relief in their symptoms. Perfect function aside, what really impressed me is that the company gave me a free replacement for the cap I had lost during moving. I simply tested my luck by contacting them through Amazon as otherwise I would have to trash the unit. And they were prompt to respond and granted me this onetime special courtesy by sending me a free cap.
I would certainly remember them fondly for this. And that is in addition to a near perfect humidifier that is as silent as if not there.
Es un excelente producto, funciona tal y como se menciona, el unicoproblema que le encuentro son las instrucciones para su limpieza y mantenimiento. Son demasiado engorrosas y deben ser muy frecuentes para mantener el equipo en optimas condiciones.
Funciona de maravilla, la capacidad en los litros es muy grande, no hay forma que en una noche se acabe a menos q le pongas el nivel mas alto. Tiene dos opciones vapor caliente o frio lo cual es perfecto, y la pantalla se puede apagar durante la noche. Su ruido es casi imperceptible, y lo puedes manejar desde lejos con el control remoto, por ltimo tiene un compartimiento para aceites esenciales. Hasta el dia de hoy estoy encantado y a mi bebe le ha ayudado mucho a respirar.
We got this to supplement our existing 15-20 yr old Holmes humidifier 😛 and it did exactly what we needed. In the winter we have both of them running in our open loft area, and they solve our dry cracked and bleeding hands issue. SO wonderful to have healthy skin again! Very grateful. The design of our house lends itself very well to just using these two humidifiers (and for years previously just the one was enough), rather than needing a whole-house humidifier that connects to the air vents. We don’t have any problem with either humidifier making the area around itself wet, as both are up about 10ft in the air with a big open space in front of them. We live in Indiana, and it gets very dry here, and winter is long. We have had this Levoit humidifier for just part of one winter, but really liking it so far. It’s nice looking – I like the clear tank, the sleek look, nice controls, humidity sensor is really helpful, like the display, the intensity settings are very useful. I highly recommend using a humidifier cleaning fish or cartridge (we have been using the Pro-Tec Humidifier cleaning fish, Model: PC1F, ASIN: B01N6MV8SA that we also got from Amazon). They are safe for ultrasonic humidifiers (and not much else is), and they keep bacteria from growing in the tank for a long time, which means SO much less having to clean the tank. Probably an unimportant note, but we have only used distilled water in it, as we have a water distiller (which I don’t think are very common), but this really helps with not having hard water build up in the tank, as our city water is incredibly hard, even with a softener. I just cleaned it to put it away for the summer, and it still looks brand new. 🙂
Overall excellent humidifier, we really like it and it seems solid and well built. I expect it to last us for many years.
Pardon me for being nerdy here for a moment:
One thing that has fascinated me is that I *think* the mist the Levoit humidifier makes contains finer particles than our ancient Holmes humidifier. This hasn’t made a difference either positive or negative in our case that I can tell, and both put out a nice steady stream of mist, but as a person who is interested in how and why things work, I can’t deny that I’m intrigued. Does the ultrasonic plate in the new Levoit vibrate faster or with more precision? Are there situations in which larger or smaller particles are preferable? 😛 Etc.
Le pongo cuatro estrellas por el precio, que es elevado.
En funcionalidad ese costo se paga, ya que tiene sensores para poner el grado de humedad, tiene tres diferentes niveles de humidificacin y puede apagarse la pantalla para los que les moleste la ms mnima emisin de luz (aunque la luz es azul, muy discreta), tambin tiene control remoto.
MISTY, SILENT HUMIDIFIER
I purchased the LEVOIT Humidifiers for Large Room Bedroom (6L) on Feb 15, 2021 as a replacement for a dead humidifier. I have allergies and always have dry sinuses, dry eyes, and a sore throat during the winter; therefore, a competent humidifier is a must due to central heat drying out the air. This Levoit humidifier is wonderfully easy to operate. It has a remote control with which I can control it from the living room without leaving the sofa (a blessing). Harley, my doxy, seems to love it, too (he would periodically sniff the vapor).
It is easy to service with good directions. The large opening in the top of the humidifier makes cleaning and filling it up very easy; I use filtered water with the humidifier. More importantly, the LEVOIT Humidifier is SILENT. My last humidifier could be heard throughout the house. I love it and would purchase the LEVOIT Humidifier again.
This humidifier seems to perform as expected and as advertised. I didn’t really have any expectations for it to live up to, but it is easy to use, holds a good amount of water and with the adjustable moisture and additional features of a timer and humitity control, it is nicer than most I’ve looked at.
I felt it’s a little pricier than it should be. I could buy 2 units (warm and cool) and still be below this cost in most cases, but having it all in one I guess costs a premium. It does have logs of nooks and crannies to clean, which makes it a little hard.
I usually don’t buy extended warranties, but I have had some cool mist humidifiers quit working due to mineral build up on the inside, so if that happens, I ugess this time I’ll be covered.
The product looks great and I wished I could use it here in SG, unfortunately, the voltage is suitable for the US but not here so I asked for a return upon which the seller offered to refund the full amount immediately – great service!
This humidifier is rated well but I cannot say the same. I have been running this machine for five months. It gets cleaned every week. I run one tank of water through it in 24 hours. After 2 months the units started making noice. It sounds like a generator running. Light sleeps will not be able to use it at night. It’s no good. Don’t buy it.
We had a more famous brand before buying this. Actually, we had to buy 2 of those in the past years because it kept dying off. This one is amazing! Really changed our sleep quality. Love the scent feature as well.
Bought this humidifier because the ones from the “big box stores” keep breaking. We went through 4 of them that
had faulty fans. Finally, bought Levoit and are very happy with its performance.
El producto es bueno, pero la informacin que dan a la compra no es veraz del todo. Dicen que el agua lleno dura 60 horas y la verdad consumi el 50% de su capacidad en 10 horas. Deben ser ms precisos en la informacin comercial.
Es un bueno producto de buena calidad, no hace ruido, a mi me ayuda mucho para el problema de sinusitis, de preferencia tenindolo encendido toda la noche para humidificar la habitacin, su capacidad de agua me dura 2 noches completas de 12 horas cada una, el llenado de agua es fcil, y con las almohadillas que trae se puede poner gotas de aromatizantes para ambientar mas la habitacin, es el producto que deseaba.
I have owned the unit a short while.
This humidifier is by far the most quiet of three that I have used. It is nice looking, easy to refill and has useful features that are easily understood and programmed using the sleek touchpad on the face of the unit.
The minimum humidity setting begins at 40%. I am using it in an open design space about 850 sq.ft. with forced air from a heat pump system. In this space my humidity level doesn’t get above 30% in winter, so the humidifier runs constantly never reaching the 40% threshold setting. I’d imagine it would easily satisfy the 40% in a 400 sq.ft. room
The tank is somewhat smaller than I anticipated, but still lasts about 15 hours on cold mist level 1, or 10-12 hours at mist level 2 so I can fill it 2x a day.
I’ve been using filtered water to avoid the calcium film that sometimes develops, which I strongly encourage especially if you have well water as I do.
Nice unit, I would recommend it and may purchase another.
Well engineered product. Keeps humidity level in bedroom adequately. I use distilled water only as water is quite hard here. Very well satisfied with this purchase.

Muy buen aparato, hecha mucho vapor y nada de ruido. Lo nico que note es que el vapor caliente an cuando sale caliente de la boquilla se enfra muy pronto, no se si sea que necesite estar ms caliente. De ah en fuera todo muy bie
Update: 2 years in, and it’s still running well. I do clean it every weekend. The heating square and bubbler do have little nicks in the paint, but still seem to work perfectly fine. I do get a white film on everything in the bedroom, despite using the heat element at all times.
I’m torn because I love the features this humidifier offers, but also hate how annoying it is to clean compared to others. There are so many little grooves and even a few I can’t get to (the bottom peg has a floating piece inside and I can see it’s pink but can’t get the little cleaning brush in there). That being said, I love the auto feature so much that I’m keeping it and sucking it up to clean this every weekend (note- it NEEDS to be cleaned once a week. It’s always got pink slime going on, even with the heat feature. (My other heated ones never have this happen)
Excelente Humidificador, teniendo los cuidados que se mencionan y el uso adecuado, es una mquina perfecta, el compartiment para el aromaterapia est muy bien, as no tienes problemas de poner aceites esenciales y que t aparato se tape. En funcin calido muy bien y en fro tambin. Totalmente recomendable
Me la pense mucho en comprar este difusor por a comparacion de los demas esta mas caro.
Me gusto mucho la tecnologia que tiene. Se puede ajustar temperatura, % humedad y cantidad de neblina que sale.
Ideal para hacer ejercicio y para dormir.
No hace ruido molesto
El tanque dura 2 noches.
Facil de armar y limpiar
Me gusto mucho
I’ve owned this unit for several months and I would recommend it to anyone. I have it on level 3 at all times and even at its highest level it’s still quiet. I have this humidifier in my main living area. I love that you can set the humidity level you desire and just leave it. Once it reaches your desired humidity level, it goes into a sleep mode. If it drops below your set level then it turns back on. That way I don’t have to worry about over humidity and possible mold issues. The unit needs to be cleaned once a week just like any other humidifier. While there are a few pieces to disassemble to wash, everything is accessible and easy to clean with a wire brush and assembly is easy. I like that the unit is raised for air to flow freely underneath it. I can see there’s no visible water underneath it puddling and won’t warp the wooden table it’s on as this has been an issue with a previous humidifier. It is one of the larger capacity humidifiers I’ve owned, which I like. For such a large area and it running all day long on dry daysit lasts a good 12 hours. I usually fill it up first thing in the morning and before bed during the winter months with the heat running it gets dry quick.
I literally just broke the little section on the tank where the water enters the base… this was totally my fault and I just bought a new one to replace it (wish they sold the tank separately).
Have had the unit for almost two years and it works great with no issues. While angry with myself for not being more careful, I’ve been impressed enough to purchase a new one.
I’ve never used the warm mist nor the oil diffuser – just the cool mist. My office gets really dry and this does a better job than any other at keeping the humidity to at least 30% in the dead of winter with oil heating and a bunch of servers in my office.
Definitely recommend – like I said, I just purchased a new one. The price has gone up ten bucks but still happy to buy it again at this price.
If Levoit sees this… where can I purchase a replacement tank?
I moved from a very humid environment in Georgia (65%+ humidity in the house) to a super dry one in Colorado (20% humidity in the house) and my sinuses and skin were getting wrecked. I purchased a 9L dual-tank Honeywell humidifier, thinking “wow it’s big so it should do the trick!” but it takes 48 hours to dump all its water into the air and so it just couldn’t keep up. I got a 1.5L MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier that emptied in about 4 hours, and did provide a small bubble of moisture in the house, but it also got everything wet and with having to sit so close to it I got wet. THIS ONE IS PERFECT. It can dump all 6L out into a room in about 8-9 hours on full blast, and my humidity increases from 20% to 50% in about 45 minutes with the door closed. This is perfect for a bedroom / overnight sleeping and for daily office use. It’s also super easy to carry and move!
I love this humidifier. It puts out more mist than any humidifier I have ever owned. It is so quiet you cannot even hear it run. I mostly bought it for my little dog. He is getting older and his eyes were so dry and he was breathing funny. Now his eyes look better and his breathing is also better. My grandson’s nose started bleeding about a week ago and he would have nose bleeds a couple times a day so I put the humidifier in the room where he has his online classes and his nose has not bled since. I would highly recommend this item.
Love the output of cool or warm mist, the remote control and/or panel buttons are easy to use. It’s great, much better than other humidifiers I have owned. So that is the good news.
HOWEVER… whomever designed this I think never took it to a bathtub to fill it. The top is too large for our fairly good size bathroom sink, so it needs to be filled in the tub. The handle in on the top of the water tank but the fill opening is on the bottom. Therefore, you cannot hold it while it is filling. And afterwards, you have gently tilt it to get the excess water off, and find the handle again. Granted it is easy to carry back to the base unit.
IT DOESN”T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. Our former humidifier of the same size, had a totally different design and was easy enough to hold onto while filling AND to carry back.
ME HA GUSTADO TODO, EXCEPTO QUE HACE RUIDO. SE OYE EL MOTOR TRABAJANDO Y DE VEZ EN CUANDO SE OYE UN “GOLF” DEL AGUA QUE PASA, PARA MI ES MOLESTO PORQUE ME GUSTA DORMIR EN COMPLETO SILENCIO.
Bastante ms pequeo de lo que pintan en las fotos.
Algo complicado de usar y sus piezas se sienten frgiles.
Pero dentro del costo esta muy bien.
Cumple excelentemente la funcin para la que se compro.
The best thing about the humidifier is the form factor of the water tank. It’s super easy to fill and clean because there are no weird protrusions or shapes so you can lay it down flush and just leave the water on to fill it up without having to hold and balance the tank. The tank opening is generously large; you can easily fit your hand in with plenty of room to spare for easy cleaning.
Whisper quiet, and has enough capacity to pretty much run the whole day on the lowest mist setting. Although if you turn it up to 3 (highest setting) and also select the warming mist option, you can make it through the night (9-10 hours) before it runs out.
The remote it comes with is pretty cheap but works, and I pretty much never use it so it’s no concern. The standard functions you want are there and works. Doesn’t have fancy lights, but it’s a humidifier. The design is more function over form anyways.
Overall, 5/5 product!
We’ve had this for three months and love it. In Northeast Ohio, winter is tough. This is the first humidifier we’ve used in out large bedroom to totally bring the humidity up and keep it up all night. The tank is good for two to three runs even on high. Very happy!
Fcil de usar, es muy bueno y eleva la humedad hasta 90%, puedes programar y regular la humedad.
Bought it for my mom, made a big difference in her room as when she used to wake up her throat was always dry and nose was sore from the dryness in her room. This solved the problem. Great Quality Product.
Ever since I got empty nose syndrome I was looking for a large capacity warm mist humidifier. That is has all the bells and whistles is added bonus. Been working good so far. Thanks Levoit.
What is your biggest FEAR about choosing this Levoit or any other brand of dehumidifier? It’ll break after a short time, right? It’ll leak, right? I bought the $14.99 4-year extended warranty that covers shipping + replacement of any product defect, and I can sleep easily knowing that if this Levoit 6L humidifier malfunctions, I’m covered. I don’t work for the extended warranty company, but I’ve learned the hard way, as most of us have, that American consumer products FAIL on a regular basis. That Maytag refrigerator I bought FAILED after 2 years, but the fridge was outside the warranty and the defect wasn’t repairable, so I was out $500. I learned the hard way. Now, whenever I buy anything where I worry about its longevity, I budget to buy a four or five-year extended warranty that covers the product, its repair or its re-shipping back to the manufacturer. BUY this product with confidence, and BUY the extended warranty. No more worries that way.
These work great. I bought 2 for my father for his apartment and they work great. The water is hard and needs to be cleaned frequently, but with limited vision, my father has no trouble operating them.
Funciona bien, muy fcil de usar y si no usas seguido el agua dura bastante, tambin se me ha mejorado mucho mis alergias. Hay 2 cosas que no me gustaron 1) si lo dejas prendido mucho tiempo se moja todo al rededor y 2) me parece que la funcin automtica solo capta muy cercano al humidificador.
I am updating my review; initially I provided one star due to the issue with the unit shutting off constantly. Our warranty had expired, but I contacted Levoit support to see if there were any other options. Within an exchange of a few emails, Levoit indicated they were sending us another unit! We have received the second unit and frankly, I am thrilled and encouraged by the prompt and attentive customer service. So I have updated my initial review for 5 stars. Customer service is stellar, thank you!
Initial review:
Two years into ownership, the unit continually shuts off showing the low water indicator, yet the tank is full. We only use distilled water in the unit and clean it as specified. The tank is difficult to fill also, requiring you to flip the tank over, unscrew the cap, fill, screw the cap back on (don’t forget to do that, whatever you do!), then flip it back over and position it on the unit. Very cumbersome. Attempting support from Levoit, understanding my warranty is up, of course. Would NOT recommend.
I bought two of these. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. They are easy to fill and put out a good mist. The tank sits flat in the sink when filling. I added an Aquastick and a TotalComfort demineralization cartridge to each tank immediately, so I can’t confirm the benefits versus without them. You can shut off the display. They have an automatic setting which is for 50% humidity and high mist level or you can set them both manually. My experience in manual mode is that if I set it to 40%, the humidifier will let the humidity drop to 35% and then come back on until 40% is reached again. So, it keeps the 12×12 room in this range easily. My downstairs is open and about 800 sq feet. The humidifier runs pretty much non stop, which I expected it would. I have to fill this one in the morning and at night. I haven’t cleaned them yet and I can’t attest to how long they will last. Overall, I am very happy with my purchases. I would buy them again.
Update April 2021:
Cleaned the tank yesterday, and today after I refilled it I noticed there were some cracks in the clear part of the tank and when I went to put it back on the base, it was leaking where the clear part meets the black tank bottom. Called customer service and they took my information and started a help-email (so just email them from the start).
They asked for some pictures of the problem, a screenshot of my purchase invoice, and for my shipping address. After I sent that in, they replied saying they’re sending me a new unit! Start to finish it took about 4 hours to get a resolution.
Original Review:
My first humidifier was an ultrasonic penguin shaped model marketed for kids, no bells or whistles at all. It finally died after 10 years and this was the replacement. This one is sleek, modern, and the styling fits our adult home much better. It also is a lot quieter!
Pros:
* Stylish – visually disappears into room.
* Quickly increases/maintains RH% in our 1,100sqft home.
* Large reservoir!
* Very quiet – warm mist feature is louder but still fine.
* Target RH% option is fantastic.
* Display can be turned off while running.
* Remembers the last setting when turned off and on again.
* Six different levels of mist output (1-3 cool + 1-3 warm).
Cons:
* Removable nozzle piece is a little annoying to remove – if you don’t have finger nails you may struggle.
* Mist output doesn’t have a lot of oomph behind it so it doesn’t go far on its own – we have ours under a ceiling fan to help disperse the vapor.
Eh :
* Remote – no use for us.
* Power cord could be a little longer.
* Dual direction nozzles don’t improve function, mostly for looks/fun.
* Auto feature is ok – sometimes doesn’t turn back on when % drops below listed threshold.
* Essential oil drawer – tried it once, it was underwhelming.
Notes:
We use the warm mist function as a booster when we want to increase the humidity quickly. It really helps during Santa Anna conditions when outdoor RH is <10%.
Cool mist output = 250ml/hr max
Cool + Warm = 500ml/hr max
We have VERY VERY hard water. If we use tap water in a humidifier the air gets visibly foggy/hazy from the suspended minerals in the air, so we use our reverse osmosis system to fill the tank.
Al principio solo compramos uno para ver como funcionaba, despus de 3 meses de uso puedo decir que hay algunas valoraciones considero que fue debido a un mal manejo y un uso excesivo de la fuerza en este producto, es rgido pero no lo suficientemente fuerte para aguantar una fuerza de palanca, con el funcionamiento me siento complacido ya que todas las especificaciones las cumple y ahora en este invierno de diciembre me siento mejor con respecto a otros aos.
I purchased this humidifier before having sinus surgery. Being that I was having sinus surgery in the winter, having a humidifier seemed like a good idea.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. For those wondering, there is an option on the remote to disable the digital display making it easy to sleep through the night. One suggestion I would have for people purchasing this device is to either have a table or desk well off the ground that you can put this on as gravity does take an effect on this one — if you’re still close to the ground there is an option within the humidifier to heat the water making things a little more clean.
For $90 I would’ve hoped that this would remember settings you had when unplugging and plugging the device back in. For most users this isn’t an issue, but when you’re working with smart outlets it makes a big difference. I live in the north where winters are very cold and dry. The ability to use a smart outlet would’ve allowed me have this automatically turn on when on my way home, and turn off when I leave.
After running this for 3 or 4 hours I wound up with a “fog” in my house. I’m assuming it’s the mineral dust that is accumulating on my furniture. I have well water that goes through several filters – including a water softener. There is no sign of a mineral buildup on my cookware. Evidently this humidifier is way more picky then I realized.
Yes, they do say to use distilled water. But – that would mean buying 10-15 gallons of distilled water every week. This is not workable.
I really don’t understand how this humidifier can get a high rating. It seems like the usability is severely limited.
Guess I just wasted $90.
Es un muy buen producto pero lo compr mas que nada para utilizarlo con el calentador activado, sin embargo casi no calienta muy bien por lo que seguimos respirando aire hmedo pero no calienta bien en cualquiera de sus 3 niveles de humedad (mist). En fro funciona perfecto pero si necesitbamos que funcionara mejor con la opcin del calentador en especial por mi hijo que sufre de algunos temas respiratorios y que podran haberle ayudado. Si no les importa la parte del calentador es un producto que si recomiendo por su buena calidad y precio.
Much smaller than I expected, which is a nice bonus (I purchased the 6L Rectangular one with adjustable humidity control). I immediately cleaned it and filled it with distilled water. It started working within seconds and has been running all day and maintaining the humidity I set.
I bought this as the heater in my home was drying the air too much and causing dry nose and throat aches.
First impressions:
– It is super light and feels cheap compared to the Honeywell models, BUT, it is anything but that. Yes it is plastic and is light weight, but a humidifier is simple tech, if anything the light weight construction is a very good pro.
– Super quiet. I hadn’t even realized it turned on when I plugged it in since it was so quiet.
– The adjustable humidity controller is by far the most useful feature and well worth the cost. I keep mine at the lowest setting (40%?) and so far it’s been spot on.
– The water tank has a small opening which makes it awkward to fill (flip upside down to fill), but it’s not a big deal.
Will update if things change. So far I highly recommend for the adjustable humidity alone.
Best humidifier I’ve ever purchased. I live in a semi desert area. It’s very dry and hot. This humidifier has been amazing, and it’s quiet and easy to use.
Buena calidad, todo lo que se describe en las caractersticas es lo que hace, el equipo es tal cual el de las imgenes.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this purchase! It has changed my life! I live in Las Vegas and had the worst case of dry eyes. No amount of drops or anything would help. I went to ophthalmologist (in two countries) and diagnosis was same, eyes are perfect, nothing wrong except dryness. I was going through a bottle of drops a week and still getting headaches and painful eyes. As a last ditch desperate attempt I purchased this humidifier and MY LIFE HAS CHANGED! No more drops, like NO DROPS, no headaches or dry / painful eyes. The mist is so soothing. I have it on the side table in the drawing room and have the mist vent directed at me when I’m watching tv and it’s incredible! I loved it so much I purchased another one for friends as a gift and they love it! I’m eventually going to have one in every room in my house. Super easy to maintain. I use only distilled water so there’s no mineral deposit. Three months since I’ve had it and I can’t imagine my life without it!
La inversin que hicimos con este humidificador vale la pena, ya que desde el primer da mi beb mostr mejora con sus flemas, estas disminuyeron considerablemente, con tan solo una hora a una humedad del 65% en vapor calido, ya puede dormir mas tranquilo y sin sentirse constipado, no es muy ruidoso, y el vapor tiene dos salidas, puede dirigirse a 2 direcciones distintas
Funciona de maravilla. Fcil de usar y genera una muy buena cantidad de vapor de agua
Es mi mejor compra que he hecho en esta cuarentena
As a severe allergy, chronic migraine and eczema sufferer I need my nyc apartment to have a higher humidity than most humidifiers I’ve tried can actually produce. This one isn’t the best on that requirement. It gets to the very bottom of the 30-50% I look for, if the humidity outside is 40% or more. The output from 2-3 gallons(refilled by the gallon) of distilled water in 24 hours. Which is a lot of time refilling, a cumulative high cost to purchase the water and disappointing when my 2 humidistats stay between n 30-40%. However, it stays in a condition that doesn’t disgust me to clean (probably the distilled water, but still others have gotten vile)and is nearly silent after 5 months of use. After getting in the habit of being mindful when refilling, it isn’t as messy, and wet to me and the surrounding area as the more effective evaporative humidifiers I’ve used. It also is made more thoughtfully with regard to accessibility for cleaning. Parts unscrew to allow for better cleaning when needed, which I only need to do thoroughly once a month. I rinse the tank every 36 hours and spill out and wipe the base. The other feature that makes this small, unobtrusive item a recommendation is the essential oil compartment that stays clean, and is actually rather effective at adding a light scent of choice to the air. It fades into the ambiance but is definitely noticeable upon room entry. I’m using the unit in 500 sq ft open floor plan. I would repurchase because it’s benefits and near effectiveness place this product well above the very many others I’ve tried.

Es un excelente humidificador, vivo en un lugar seco y con este aparatito soy feliz, no lo he utilizado en el modo de calor, solo fro y con el automtico es maravilloso, muy silencioso altamente recomendable.
I bought one of these last year and it worked so well I bought another. The machine is easy to use and produces a considerable amount of humidity which my guitars love. I do too. The machine is quiet, reliable, and has many useful features which permit a high degree of customization for your needs. The water tank hold 1.6 liters which is about half a gallon. Filled, it weighs 8 pounds. You then have to correctly fit the tank in the humidifier base. If you have grip or strength difficulties, you need to consider this, but realize this is not a flaw in the product.
As additional praise for Levoit and this machine I can extol the virtues of their service people. On the second machine, the tank cap did not fit properly. I put the tank cap on the older one on and it fit properly. I waited a couple of weeks to see if the cap might not “break in” and work better, but it got worse. I contacted Levoit by telephone, explained the problem, and sent them verification of my order. They immediately sent me a free replacement cap. It fits as it should.
So. The machine is effective. The service people are effective. I think the price is fair for the value of the machine. I highly recommend this humidifier and I have tried others (ones with filters which other reviewers have noted seem to be the main point of the thing – to sell more filters). This is good product and a trustworthy company.
Woah. This thing is a beast. I think it’s a bit overkill for us though. I will be grateful to have it next winter. I like the two top holes for water exit, and they’re adjustable/swivel independently. It’s pretty cool that it can read the humidity of the area it’s in, and it really won’t operate if it’s already humid. For us that meant on a new spring day, lots of melting snow, we were struggling with colds and upper respiratory infections and I couldn’t get the humidifier to put out. So I like the simpler manual humidifier better so far. The sleep mode does turn off the screen and there’s a warm setting but I haven’t really checked it to feel how warm it gets after a while. Remote didn’t seem to work very well for me but I may have been misunderstanding the situation… all in all I do believe it’s worth it’s money, if you have a large room, very dry areas, or want to keep good track of the humidity level. EO diffuser spot too- no mess in water system with that. Easy to use this giant tank!
This little power house machine has worked great! I read so many review on different humidifier before I bought this one and I’m glad I did. I live in Utah and I bought this in November, winters here are cold yes but very dry. I condo is also heated with electric radiators which just adds to the dryness of my home. I had Laski eye surgery in March and your eyes are just dryer afterwards. I started waking up in the middle of the night to have to put in eye drops a lot and knew I needed a humidifier. I’ve had this for just over a month now and have had zero problems with it. I put in on top of my bedroom dresser all the way on the edge so it can be the recommended distance from any walls. I also put a small cookie sheet under it with a small towel just in case it leaked, some reviews said their’s did. Mine as never leaked at all, the humidity censor has worked fine as well I think being to close to a wall can affect that. Being able to turn off the lights on it as night is great, always shuts off when it runs out of water and mines run 24/7 for the last month. I do get the white build up in it but I just rinse out the little filter pad about once a week and crap the bottom with a flat raiser blade and it’s good to go.
FINALLY …. A Humidifier that actually lives up and exceeds to what the manufacturer says it will do.
This Levoit humidifier is “outstanding”! It is simple to use, extremely quiet and will do exactly what it’s
designed to do. The remote is a huge plus as well. I enjoy the added feature to add your favorite aroma
essential oils (located on the lower right side of the unit), simply slide out the tray and add some drops of
your favorite essential oil to give your room a very nice scent. I have used this humidifier in my large living
room as well as in the bedroom (especially @ night). I add my Eucalyptus oil to the diffuser tray which definitely
helps as well. I usually set the humidifier to run for 6-7 hours “timer button” , click on the “auto button” which will automatically set the humidity level and the fan output …. so simple to use. The Blue LED DISPLAY is nice, You also
receive extra pads for the diffuser and a couple of other items as well.
I would recommend to you to read the instructions 1st ….. this humidifier is “The Best” I have owned …. “A MUST HAVE” especially if you have allergies or sinus issues like myself
I would highly recommend buying this LEVOIT Humidifier! it’s great for Large Rooms, Bedrooms and more.

I LOVE how easy this humidifier is to clean. I’ve owned several other humidifiers of varying brands and none have been as easy to maintain as this (which is so nice because I don’t know about you, but I hate cleaning humidifiers) Others always had some impossible to reach place that basically would limit the life of the humidifier because it would start to grow nasty pink films or mold and need to be thrown out. With this humidifier, everything is removable and I can fit my whole hand in the tank.
Also, I love the programmable features. It is so nice being able to set a humidity level and let it do its thing without worrying that I’m going to awaken and find myself in a Turkish bath. We have used both the cool and warm mist and love the ability to switch depending on the situation (ie someone has a cold we like the warm mist, but usually use cold mist for everyday usage). I love that you can turn the display off for at night.
I have had this product for a little over a year and it has worked great up until recently when the steam output greatly reduced for some reason. Contacted Levoit and they had me back in business in just a few days with a shiny new replacement. Very helpful and very prompt.
Me encant la facilidad de uso que no hay que estar comprando agua destilada solo cuidarlo y limpiarlo peridicamente..
Tiene buena calidad de materiales, todo muy bien cuidado en acabados. Funciona de maravilla!, no hace nada de ruido y tiene buena cantidad de vapor de salida. Me gust mucho su sistema de fijarle los parmetros y que se queden guardados. Es muy conveniente el control remoto, el apagado automtico cuando llega a la humedad requerida, y con temporizador para dormir. Es tambin muy conveniente que tenga apagado automtico si se queda sin agua. Su tamao es bastante cmodo.
Es un poco incmodo para el momento de darle mantenimiento, contra el sarro.
There’s a lot of reviews on here that make some very strange claims. Best I can tell, this thing works well. Both my eyes and sinuses seem to appreciate it’s efforts.
I reserve complete judgment till I hear back on whether the warm mist function is actually working on my unit, best I can tell, it is not. I hear a change in its operating noises but even after several minutes, feel no change in the mist’s temperature. That’s one of the issues.
The other is less important and something I saw reviews complain about previously. The humidity readout on this thing is highly variable. If someone walks within 10ft of this thing it’ll change by 5-10%. To the manufacturer: use averaged readings. I cannot imagine a need to have it take a reading every second and operate solely on that 1 reading. Take 1 reading every 6 seconds for 60 seconds and operate based on that full minute’s average. If you think having the machine run for 1 minute longer than needed is too much, go with 6 readings at 5-second intervals and use that period’s average. I believe either will result in much more consistent performance and fewer complaints from users.
Other than these issues and after a week of consistent use, I haven’t had any issues. It’s simple to operate, easy to clean, easy to add fragrance, and low maintenance costs. I think I’ll be happy with it.
Best humidifier I’ve ever bought–so far. Quiet, effective, and YOU CAN TURN THE DISPLAY OFF. It also makes such a lovely noise when you press the buttons. I guess the tank could be bigger, but it lasted all night set at a very high humidity level. Seems quite well made, and I haven’t cleaned it yet, but I love it so far.
UPDATE: I’ve had it for about a week now, and I still love it. I’ve discovered the pleasure of peppermint essential oil because of the nifty little drawer on the side of this thing.
I really can’t extoll the virtues of this machine enough, so here are 2 cons (they both have to do with refilling, and they’re negligible, but I want to be unbiased):
1) The directional thingy on the top of the tank, which directs the mist, which has to be taken off before refilling… Well, they could have made it a little easier to get off. Maybe it’s because I have large fingers, but I kind of have to stick my fingers in the vents and maneuver it off. And it will be wet when you take it off, so watch out for wood surfaces.
2) The cover on the bottom of the tank that you have to screw off to fill the tank is really hard to get a grip on when it’s wet (ie. after the machine has been on), and, as I mentioned, I have large hands. They could have made the grips a bit more pronounced.
The tank will drip water when you remove it for refilling, not a leak, just from, you know, being a humidifier (!). Make sure your cat isn’t underneath it when you are refilling it. Friendly warning.
I originally bought one of these last year (2017) to use in my bedroom during Chicago winters, where I live in a one-bedroom apartment with wall heat/AC units. My apartment is dry AF. I just bought a second one to use in the living room because the first one has been so amazing.
It is large, so I’m not constantly refilling it (it runs throughout the night / 8+ hours). It has a lot of different settings, including both warm and cool mist. It also has a neat feature where you can turn off the display so the light isn’t keeping you up at night. I usually leave it on auto, with the lowest warm/steam mist setting.
I have had no problems with the display or any of the functionality and it seems to be reading the moisture levels correctly. This year’s version comes with some upgrades, which I really appreciate – including easier to read display & buttons and additional absorption pads & a cleaning brush.
Chicago has hard water, so mineral build-up happens somewhat frequently and it needs to be cleaned, but there is no way around that without buying distilled water for it. I just soak it in distilled white vinegar according to the instructions, clean it up, and rinse it off. Doesn’t take that long and it means I’ll be able to use these things for years.
The manufacturer also gives you an extended warranty for registering the product, making it covered for 3 years. For a humidifier, that is AMAZING. Really shows that they stand by the quality of the design.
First, I love this humidifier. We have 4 different humidifiers in our home, and this one is by far our favorite. The settings are easily adjustable, no leaks, it’s stable, it’s quiet, no problems. But the customer service is great. After having this product for about 6 months, it slipped from my hand after I had filled it, and cracked on the hard floor. Totally my fault. I was so bummed. I attempted to use the warranty I had purchased, but did not receive much help. They wanted pictures before they would help me. I didn’t have pictures because I threw the broken plastic shards away when I cleaned up the mess I had made. I could not find a replacement reservoir online, and was resigned to the fact that I would have to purchase another. I didn’t want to waste the still functioning base, so I contacted Levoit directly and asked to PURCHASE a new tank. Without any questions other than proof of purchase (a screenshot of my Amazon Invoice), they eagerly shipped me a new one at no cost. Great company, great product. The warranty I purchased is my biggest complaint.

This thing is so blinged out with features, it even comes with its own remote…..something my husband scoffed at as completely unnecessary (more on that later).
Aside from smooth good looks, because, hey, who hasn’t said at least once “All I want is a really good looking humidifier in my life,” this thing really suits its purpose and humidifies my daughter’s 146 square foot room with ease.
I bought this for the fall and winter season to use in my daughter’s room due to asthma and respiratory issues she seems susceptible to this time of year. We’d already burned out two Vick’s brand humidifiers, and so I decided to splurge a bit and give this one a spin, hoping for more options and durability.
Here’s what I really like:
-Hot or cold mist options
-Compartment for essential oils or in our case, the placebo effect of Vick’s VapoRub being diffused through the room
-100% super quiet
-Generous size – I only use distilled water in the machine (we have really hard water where I live), and although I refill the tank every four or five days after running all night, I expected it to be less efficient with water based on size
-Humidifies the room like a champ – on some mornings, it’s done such a job, that my daughter’s comforter feels a bit damp – I obviously found out the hard way you can adjust the % of humidity settings…
-Adjustable light – for smaller kids, I noticed that leaving the soft blue light on the humidifier acts as a night light, but it can also be turned off if you prefer a darkened room
-Remote control- so I don’t use the remote, but this would have been amazing to have when my kids were infants so I could simply press a button without having to enter their room, trip over stuff (cats, my feet, rocking chair, etc) waking them up, and dealing with the misery of trying to get two infants back to sleep again. I like the remote just for the idea of what it could have been in my life (“sigh”).
What I don’t love as much:
-The price ($94.00 for a humidifier seems almost as ridiculous as me spending that amount on it)
-Too many features. All of the bells and whistles, timed settings, auto delays, etc, etc, etc are lost on me. I just need it to humidify the room so my kid stops coughing.
For those serious about their humidity, this thing is worth considering. Five stars, but for the price.
Son has been running his own tropical paradise in his room and this pushes his humidity from about 50% to 70%.
He loves it and it’s been running steadily for about 3 months now.
This was purchased last November when I brought a kitten home from the shelter who had a bad upper respiratory infection. (Which spread to the other cats)
They loved the mist and seemed to know it was helping them. I just took it out again and cranked it up, as I have a cold. Now it’s helping me too!
Someone mentioned adding essential oils to the scent disk. Pet owners- please consider that certain oils are toxic to cats and dogs, so be knowledgeable before taking any risks. I’ve stopped using scented oils completely for this reason.
Also, use caution with the warm mist function if this is accessible to pets or kids. I’m unsure just how hot it gets as I only run it on cool mist, but thought it was worth mentioning.
Included are some pics of the cats enjoying the mist lol. (Crazy cat lady here) One pic is of the sick kitten partaking in the mist of the previous humidifier- which I ended up returning. The Levoit is so much better! The pic was just too cute to not share haha.
The quality of sleep is so much better and that equates to a more rested, stronger immune system. Superior to any old technology steamers and less electric run costs too. Well built with jumbo tank will run on high and full heat for about 8 to 10 hours. Here in Chicago, its dry in the winter. We run it all fall, winter and spring – every night in bedrooms.
Important tricks – Best results when run on highese heat setting and medium to high mist level. Run a small fan pointed towards the unit from accross the room on low speed to keep the mist airborne – avoiding damp carpet or slip hazard by unit.
It’s super critical to carefully clean the unit weekly. Breaking up the crud from water minerals and keeping the unit clean is far easier by using Orange Citris cleaner in concentrate soak for 10 minutes. I use Zep. Run cool rinse water at very low pressure dribbling water into PLASTIC water reservoir area only. Never run tap water onto the sensor or heat pad because the seals can not handle running water pressure! Never get liquids into the square fan hole!
Hey hey people! So I received this humidifier Friday and have had it for less than a week. However, it has really been a great investment thus far. I have an 8 month old daughter who would wake up in the middle of the night congested with a dry nose, it was the worst and I felt so bad. I knew that I had to find a humidifier that would do the following:
Display humidity level in room
Have options for cool and warm mist
Display levels of mist control
Easy clean up
Quiet and soothing sound
Not too heavy
Easy to refill
Good size tank
Timer control
Warm and cool mist setting
This humidifier has everything that I listed above and some more features! My daughter sleeps pea fully through the night, my boyfriend suffers from sinus infections and this humidifier has helped that issue, he also sleeps through the night and has not got up to blow his nose. We all know that the winter brings harsh and dry air and the heat is constantly pumping. I gave this unit 4 stars because I have had it for such a short amount of time but it’s one of the best humidifiers I have ever owned! When it’s time to lay Kyra down for bed, I look forward to coming into the room because the air is just so much more inviting.
Tips:
I clean my humidifier every other day and make sure to take pieces apart and clean well because the warm must can attract bacteria, I also use the Clorox bleach wipes to wipe down the unit and the pieces. Allow the filter to air dry during the day to cut down on mold and bacteria, also put a small towel under the unit just in case there is water building up on the table. I have not experienced any white residue from the mist or any water build up on the table.
This is a well designed ultrasonic (cool mist) humidifier which offers the option of warm mist as well.
The water reservoir is large enough for about 12 to 16 hours of continuous operation before refill is required. The front panel and remote control have icons for the various operations. These icons are not immediately clear and take a bit of getting used to.
Features include: Timed shut-off, 3 levels of mist, 3 levels of heated mist, auto shut off for no water. The unit can also be set to maintain a specific humidity level and displays the current humidity in bold blue numerals. The lighted display can be shut off if desired by pressing the ‘Auto’ button.’
The unit is lightweight and easy to move and fits well on a nightstand or table. The reservoir is easy to fill and the fill spout is large and off-center making it easier to replenish from a small sink. After a few weeks of operation, there has been no ‘white dust’ sometimes typical with these type of humidifiers and while the unit does not leak water, you should be careful not to damage furniture with stray drops when filling or emptying the unit.
Instructions for cleaning are not specific about how often however you will notice discoloration growing after about a week so I am cleaning it every 5 or 6 days. Cleaning is straightforward using a small brush (included) and some vinegar. Reusable filter pads are washable in warm water.
Haven’t bought one of these type of humidifiers in a very long time and the improvements over units made five or ten years ago is significant.
I have a wood stove, so dry air is a challenge, and I’ve had about 10 different humidifiers in the past several years, so I’m something of an expert, I guess. I’ve tried Vicks, Bionaire, Homedic, and some more expensive units. But I’ve had this for almost a month now, and I think my search is finally over… this unit has the highest output of any of the steam or cool mist units I’ve tried. It’s really very good, in all aspects, and I haven’t had any of the issues others have mentioned… it simply works, it’s quiet, and cleaning isn’t hard at all. The controls and the amount of precise control you have over the output is excellent, and the humidistat seems to be very accurate. When it’s out of water it stops every time, and when you refill you don’t have to reset all your settings… it holds them until you manually turn the unit off. I also like how small it is, and it’s very easy to move it to wherever you want it. Refilling is easy, it has jsut the right amount of capacity so it’s not too heavy to refill (I think it’s 1.5 gal) and the directional “spouts” work very well. Iv’e been extra careful with the tank after reading of some other people’s problems with cracks, and it’s been fine so far.
Of course, with a wood stove, you need a LOT of humidity replacement. This Levoit can raise the humidity about 5-10%, but bear in mind I’m using this in a fairly large area, 800 sq ft, which is almost twice the recommended room size for this unit… so technically this unit shouldn’t be big enough. But I just put it near our seating area and it makes a big difference… I was surprised at how much more humid the area feels. I tried it in the master bedroom and it blew the Vicks unit away, and got it to 50% pretty quickly.
With the wood stove going, none of my steam humidifiers could even move my humidity needle 1%. And out of all the ones I’ve tried, only my huge evaporitive whole house humidifier has more output than this one… but while that beast can raise my humidity about 15-20% only when on the highest setting, it’s such a pain to keep clean, you need to add chemicals which I don’t feel is very safe, and it’s really loud… so loud we didn’t use it much.
I can’t really think of any negatives at all… it’s really a great unit. I guess if I could get 2 for the price of one it would be better, but it’s eel worth the money IMO.
BTW, my suggestion is to stay away from cool mist… in fact I will never get a cool mist unit again. Even using 100% pure H2O (distilled) from my reverse osmosis system, it still makes a white dust, and the chemicals I tried only reduced the amount of dust, but didn’t eliminate it. They’re also really hard to keep clean, and bacteria is a real problem. Plus, who wants to add chemicals to the air you breath?
Check it out… I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
EDIT: I’ve had it almost 2 years now, and the heat element stopped working for the warm mist. Granted, I use it daily all winter long, but in this day and age a heat element should last years. I simply wrote to Levoit, explained the problem, verified my receipt and all that, and they’re sending me a new one. No hassles, no cost. That’s the way it should be… great company that stands behind their products! How rare these days.
READ FULL REVIEW
I do not recommend this Humidifier, I have had it for over 4 months and it is already malfunctioning. The humid air that looks like steam is leaking through the sides for some reason. Also the Auto light keeps flashing and there is nothing about that in the manual.
Now I am stuck with a humidifier that does not work. The first month or so this humidifier worked perfectly but now for some reason its letting out almost no “steam”. I was very hopeful for this product. If the seller Arovast could help me that would be extremely helpful!
***Update 1 Week Later***
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to buy from the seller Arovast!!! I was having a problem with my defective humidifier and they sent me a brand new one at no cost! My new humidifier is working way better than the 1st one I bought.
This humidifier is quiet and I love that I can add essential oils.
My criteria for a good humidifier was the following:
– Quiet
– Cool AND Warm mist setting
– LED showing humidity level
This had everything. The product feels sturdy and clean and high quality. Nothing really feels cheap on this thing at all. This is miles better than the $50 BOSSJOY humidifier that I wasted my time and money on (eventually returned that one).
This thing is quiet. This thing has a cool mist setting, and the warm mist setting is REALLY WARM. It also warmed up within just a few minutes. The cheaper humidifer I returned said it was supposed to turn warm after 30-40 minutes but never turned warm even after hours of leaving it on.
I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the humidity level but after leaving it on for one night, the number on the LED panel went from 30% humidity to 45%+ humidity. I felt really refreshed when I woke up, as well.
My only concern is, is this too good to be true? Will this thing break after 2 months? So far, signs point to no. However, I’ll be sure to update this review if something bad happens in the future.
UPDATE: I’m docking a star. When they said you have to clean this thing every week, they really meant it. This thing builds up a LOT of limescale, and I have to spend at least 15-20 minutes once a week trying to scrub all the brown gunk that builds up in the device’s pipes and crevices, and even with the included brush, you can’t get every corner. The water tank itself has the same problem: there’s always a thin brown layer of limescale that I have to reach in and clean by sticking my entire hand into the water tank reservoir. They should have made the water tank open up if they expected their customers to clean the water tank so thoroughly.
That said, I still think it’s one of the better humidifiers out there. I just didn’t know that I would have to clean it this thoroughly and this often.
