LEVOIT OasisMist Smart Cool and Warm Mist Humidifiers for Bedroom Large Room Home, Auto Customized Humidity, Ultrasonic Top Fill Oil Diffuser for Baby and Plants, Quiet, 4.5L, White

I like it alright. I think it’s a good humidifier. The only thing that annoys me about it is that I only get one night out of it before I have to refill the tank, and also if it runs out of water, instead of turning off, it just continues to try starting over and over again and it makes a noise when it does that, which is annoying. I wish it would just turn off when it runs out instead of trying aimlessly to start over and over again until I wake up and turn it off.

This humidifier is worth every dollar!! It has so many adjustments that it will easily work in different size rooms. Super easy to use. But the big selling point for us is that its so darned easy to clean. Weve had other humidifiers that leave no room to get your hand in the main compartment or even a cleaning tool because of the shape. We also bought extra filters so we dont have to go hunting for them when we need them. Highly recommended.

After a few months I finally figured out that NONE of the humidifiers mentioned in my original review are suitable for a) guitars, b) heavy use or c) use where water has a lot of minerals (i.e., hard water). The three units mentioned all employ what amounts to an inkjet-like sprayer. These spit VERY FINE calcium particles into the air (along with water) and that effect COMPLETELY COVERS EVERYTHING with a VERY FINE white (calcium) powder. I ultimately, moved to a FORTH humidifier from “AirCare” (also available on Amazon) after visiting a local guitar shop and seeing what they use. The AirCare unit does not use an inkjet-like design. So, no white powder. It’s also much larger and can keep a large room at 47% with ease. After many months with the AirCare, I’ve settled into a routine where I clean its “filter” with vinegar instead of simply changing the filter for a new one each time the machine asks for a filter change. This reduces cost of operation DRAMATICALLY and lets me just fill with hard/tap water. IF you have a fancy guitar and need to control its humidity THE AIRCARE IS THE BEST (arguable only) answer. I have some nice acoustic guitars and live in the desert so a humidifier is a must. I’ve now purchased three different humidifiers (all from Amazon)... 1) this one; 2) the teardrop shaped one you see around here; 3) the Taotronic (blue/white, 4L w/ humidistat). The best choice has turned out be #3. The teardrop one is basic. Turn it on. It runs until empty. The mist is variable but otherwise there are no other controls. This one (Levoit) is the nicest looking. It’s got a bit of an Apple vibe. ...and it holds the most water. Features wise it tops the others with heat (which I could care less about), a remote (which I could care less about) and 6L capacity. You’d think because it holds more water that you’d fill it less often. But that’s not really the case as it tends to pump more water (without any obvious improvement in humidity) over the Taotronic one. The controls appear nicer but that too is misleading. I actually have found it to be LESS intuitive (it seems to ignore my “use the humidistat” option 60% of the time so I just fave up and set it to full auto. That works but it sets the humidity level to 60+% so it goes through more water. Good for plants but too much for my guitars (which want 45-50%). I have to refill them onceveach day or so but the Taotronics is WAY easier to pop the container, fill and reseat. The Levoit is actually a minor pita to refill. Not horrible. Just not the better of the two. The Taotronics also has a humidistat so you can push a button once or twice and ignore it letting the machine work up to the correct humidity and then act like a furnace/thermostat keeping the humidity just right. The Levoit does this too but 60% of the time the ui didn’t do what I expected (and the machine never turned on or never turned off). It’s got a Mac aesthetic but a PC implementation (if I’m making sense). The Taotronics is the opposite (function / ease of use over design aesthetic). Long story short, I’m going to get a second Taotronics and retire this and the hershey kiss shaped on.

I’ve tried many humidifiers over the years. This one is by far my favorite. Be sure to use distilled water.

I usually wait a few weeks or longer before writing reviews, No need to wait for this one. I am starting to like Levoit products, got an air purifier, stick vac and this. Holds over a gallon, which I like, my last one was just shy of a gallon, which was awkward. Looks like it would hold about 1.5, never tried more than a gallon. Last about 24 hrs on low with that, and I consider that very good. I have it set to turn off after 8am when I typically am not there, doesnt have an auto on feature wish it did, but I turn it back on around 8am to run all night, so that right there saves on water -[itll pop up a note on your phone, if you want, when it runs out of water] Nice you can turn off the display easily, just has a 2 digit % humidity reading, but at night its quite a beacon. Not only for me but for my guitars, I have acoustics hanging on my wall and they warp without humidity, so its essential for my playing to keep them humidified. Seems like it may be a bear to clean from reading the instructions, havent got that far yet. Reason its a 4 star and not a 5 - The scent pad doesnt seem to do a thing, tried loading it with a couple scents and really could not smell them, so thats a disappointment. Other than that, a superior product.

Ive had the humidifier for a few months and loving it. With the wifi function, its very efficient. I just wish Levoit would provide instructions on how to wash and clean the top cover where the steam comes out.

I had another Levoit humidifier that only lasted about a year. The tank cracked in several spots but otherwise was pretty solid. This one looks to be better built. For the review mentioning this wont work with 5G routers, you should be able to setup both a 5G and 2.5 on your 5G router. Ive had to do this with lighting in my house and it works fine once you set that up. Also important to note, the humidity sensor doesnt work. It bounces around all the time. Currently, its saying 75% but my humidity meter in that same room reads 40%. Sometimes it works but its pretty rare so dont buy it if you plan to use the auto mode.

Pros- awesome unit, mostly quiet, nice capacity. Cons- not suitable for elderly, as you got to toss a full 6l plastic vat like a pizza to reinstall after filling. Also, where the cutout is for the steam pointer, and handle, there are two 90 degree angles of plastic which could have been rounded for safer operation when handling while filling.. Sides that, it is keeking ass and taking names in my apt, love it. PLants love it.

I rarely write reviews but this one deserves the extra miles. My Levoit started making a humming rotating sound after 5 months of usage that made it difficult to fall asleep and we had to stop using it at night. I sent an email with a video to the company who responded swiftly and requested few extra information. They followed up promptly, they exchanged it in a timely manner and they communicated efficiently. I would recommend them any time! The humidifier itself is very useful and we can’t sleep without it anymore.

We purchased 3 of these 2 years ago. They all continue to work well. They are easy to clean which has made me more likely to clean them than any other humidifier I’ve ever had. During our recent move, I somehow lost a gasket to one of the basins. Without the gasket, the basin leaks everywhere which effectively means I couldn’t use the machine. I contacted Levoit to buy a replacement part. Although they do not sell or even produce parts for replace, the rep said she would send me one as soon as she could get one. After a couple months, I assumed it was never coming, but today it arrived! I’m utterly impressed that she was willing to keep an eye out for the part for this long and mailed to me free of charge. It’s rare to find home electronics that work well for years *and* have good customer service. I totally recommend these.
