> 3 dayI have a regular cold mist humidifier and it doesn’t work as well as this one. When I use just a regular cold mist humidifier I end up with a bad cough and sinus congestion. But this model of levoit humidifier I have an option for warm mist and it comes with two different types of filters for the water. I have always used distilled water for this humidifier and with the two filters it’s amazing. It can raise the humidity level within a few minutes on the low setting. It also barely makes any noise besides on the highest temperature (warm mist only). Cleaning the product is also easy since most of the parts can be removed and dried. The app feature is also a plus.

> 3 dayGets the job done. First one I’ve owned and used regularly (recent transplant from the coast, so never needed it before) and it’s definitely easy to use. The options in the app control make it easy to set and forget.

> 3 dayIve 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.

Greater than one weekI use this humidifier to keep my plants happy and it seems to be working. If you want to hear it, you have to put your ear right next to the motor and stop breathing. The display agrees with a digital hygrometer I bought separately, so its at least that accurate. Ive had other cheap humidifiers from the pharmacy that are garbage next to this one. If you love your houseplants, its worth the price. After a month, I finally got the app that you will need if you want the humidity to be above 60. The app is meant to control all manner of devices you may or may not have (which I dont), so it is a bit annoying, but thats just old Luddite me. I have been filling it with tap water even though purified or distilled water is recommended, but who is going to do that unless they have access to a huge reservoir of purified water? People that only use it when they are sick? I guess I could lug some reverse osmosis water home from the lab, but no. I havent yet noticed any lime deposits on my walls. What I have noticed is an increase in tiny flies in my apartment. I find them floating in the reservoir of the humidifier, so Im pretty sure theyre attracted to the humidity. I dont know how to deal with them yet. I clean it once a week and refill it in between cleanings. And though I havent changed any filter parts yet, I definitely recommend this humidifier despite the app and the flies. It is the best humidifier Ive ever had.

Greater than one weekIve owned around 5 different humidifiers in the last 30 years. This is one is by for the best Ive ever used. I use mine in the bedroom to help with dryness and allergies. It is extremely quiet. If you are awake in the middle of the night you might hear an occasional brief but very quiet gurgle (air bubble). Set the desired humidity level and it will cycle on and off to keep it there. I have mine set at 55% humidity and it seems perfect for me. Mine runs around 10 hours a day and I have to refill it every 5 days or so. I use reverse osmosis filtered water and there is no musty smell in the tank. Ive been using it 4 months and hope it lasts. I did purchase the extended warranty through Amazon just in case.

Greater than one weekI looked through EVERY humidifier on Amazon searching for one with warm mist that wouldnt send humidity right up into the air only to have it immediately fall back down into a puddle on the ground (been there/done that!). I finally settled on this one and bought it and I LOVE THIS ONE. First of all, it is easy to fill. Top filling. No more filling a tank and carrying it to the humidifier and having to flip it upside down to insert it into the machine! Also the carrying handle is well-placed making it well-balanced. You dont feel like its going to tip frontwards or backwards. Second, when you pull it out of the machine, there is very little excess water that will drip when youre carrying it to refill it (if thats what you choose to do. I just use a pitcher but you do you). Just a dab of a paper towel and youre good to go. Third, this thing cranks out the moisture - in a nice vapor - that then somehow actually gets absorbed into the air (wonder of wonders!) and does not rain right back down onto my laminate flooring!!!! Lastly, its quiet, and it runs for quite a while on a full tank on high (around 8 hours or so?). Just buy the dang thing!! I truly do love it!!

> 3 dayI ordered this humidifier for my many houseplants upon the recommendation of a master gardener on Instagram. Its quiet and I like the different control options. Love that I can direct mist in two different directions. I could have sworn that I read its filled from the top and not the bottom. I was wrong, it has to be turned upside down to fill it with water. Thats what I hated about the smaller Levoit humidifier I was using before. It can be difficult to line everything up to fit the top back onto the bottom. I dont understand why the designers didnt change this feature. I am happy for my plants.

> 3 dayWe already have a smaller levoit humidifier but it kept running out of water within a single night or so, and we were still suffering low humidity in our home. We decided we needed another with a larger capacity and looked at this model. I had read reviews saying that this model might work too well in that it left puddles for some people near the machine. I can understand how this could happen as it does spout a HUGE amount of mist that arcs out similar to a water fountain. However this has never happened to us. We keep our humidity at around 40-50. We positioned ours in the bedroom on top of one of those IKEA Lack tables. The mist will spout up and out of the humidifier and easily reaches the ground (visually seems to “touch” the ground). Table is about 17-18 inches tall plus the height of the humidifier, so that hopefully gives an idea of the density of mist that I’m talking about. The reason I mentioned it being confusing is that we have a hydrometer right next to it, but if we set the humidifier to say 40, I have seen the humidifier not go off even though the hydrometer indicates a lower number than 40. I’ve seen it as low as 10 points lower than what the hydrometer claims the humidity to be despite being right next to the humidifier. So I’m not sure what is accurate or inaccurate - the humidifier or the hydrometer. Another thing that’s annoying is that whatever is detecting water in the tank can be finicky. I don’t know if we just have something slightly defective, but the first time we set it up to use, it indicated no water in the tank despite there being enough water. Our work around is that we have to jiggle or lift the tank up and down a few times, causing the air to get into the water tank (you’ll see big air bubbles rise up). Eventually it fixes the issue and it detects the water, but it can be annoying. Design wise, I dislike that you have to flip the tank to fill it with water and then put it back. It’s similar to a water cooler’s design and it just feels a little nerve racking to flip the tank back onto the base in my carpeted bedroom. I think despite all these issues, the humidifier works well and also holds a ton of water. We were previously having dry and cracked skin issues and now we no longer have that happening. We actually haven’t cleaned it yet even though we’ve had it for awhile, but it doesn’t seem like there is any build up yet. We use only distilled water and we use it frequently. Overall if you need a larger tank humidifier, this will do the job. I would suggest getting it on sale though as we did.

Greater than one weekThis is a must if you have a Ikea cabinet. Humidity says all day long with the auto setting. Definitely would recommend.
