> 24 hourI loved this little desktop humidifier so much, and used it daily. I loved it so much that I bought another one a month or so later. Its so cute, it puts out a nice amount of vapor, stayed on for at least 12 hours on one fill of the little tank, and according to my hygrometer, it did a decent job of increasing the humidity in the area around it. However, now, not even two months into having the first one, it has stopped working. I have diligently maintained it since I bought it - cleaning it well (including using vinegar once a week to clean out any mineral deposits), allowing everything to dry out from time to time, never letting water just sit in it (it was either running or sitting open and empty) and changing the filter at the first sign that it was getting dirty (when the tip was starting to turn brown-ish). So, I am very sad that all of a sudden it has completely stopped working. One day it worked just fine, the next day I filled it up, plugged it in and nothing. I tried again. I cleaned it well. I changed the filter, and yes, I am mindful of the spring that needs to be in the bottom of the filter cylinder. Nothing. I know this is an inexpensive little unit, but I expected it to last longer than just short of two months. Kind of a bummer as I was considering buying a third - I use them with my houseplants and on my desk while I work - but Im going to purchase another brand. Hoping the second one I bought hangs in there a little longer.

> 24 hourThis seems quite alright, mostly bought it to help a couple of tropical plants on a shelf (yep, dang calatheas). I also was hoping that using it next to me while I sleep would help with breathing issues related to very dry air, but it doesnt seem to have a huge effect compared to my much larger humidifier. Id say this is maybe fine for helping out small, humidity-loving plants but Im also unsure exactly how effective it is. I placed a temperature and humidity reader on the other side of a plant pot which was right next to the humidifier and it seems the humidity bubble was very limited to the immediate area around the humidifier. Of course, things like the type of space, air flow, season, etc, may have an effect as well so I just cant be certain. Otherwise, on the intermittent setting, the water lasts a pretty long time before you have to refill (although this might also be a sign that it doesnt output enough moisture?). One thing I REALLY dont like is the short USB cord, but that seems to be a terrible feature of most USB type products these days. You could probably replace it with a longer one but of course, thats an extra step. The other thing is when its plugged in (which it has to be to work, btw, in case you thought it could hold charge and be used without a cord) you can see the red charging light is always on (except, of course, when you activate its built in-light). Its not very bothersome though, so I let it slide but still. Otherwise it is very easy to operate and quite simple and so quiet I can actually sleep through it. Design-wise not the best but not the worst. For its price, it fits.

> 24 hourWhen at home I prefer a (hot) steam steamer for the sinuses. When traveling that is no convenient, so use this one. This is not as effective but gets some humid air into my nose and lungs, as I wish. Quick start and compact. USB powered, so convenient. Would NOT use as a room/area humidifier - not enough capacity.

> 24 hourUpdate: finally started working. I am not sure what changed besides the unit listening to my ranting at it. Still wish the seller had reached out with trouble shooting help. After using for 1 week, cleaning and drying appropriately, and storing in original packaging no longer works. There does not appear to be anyway to troubleshoot the issue. The light still works, but the humidifier isnt working.

> 24 hourI have used many of the stick humidifier and liked them but there always seems a wet area around the stick and even other closed ones need a plate under them but this one has no water problems and I can put it on my nightstand with no mess it also put out much more vapor than others.

> 24 hourIts very small, but I think it did help bring up the humidity in my bedroom during the winter. Very easy to use. You will need to get a charger block thing (the ones you use for an iPhone charger). Its very quiet and the little orange light isnt bring at all. It does collect condensation on the top if you set it on constant mode. I set it somewhere up off the ground next to my plant.

> 24 hourThis is almost the perfect little humidifier for my plant-needs but I thought portable meant wireless. This humidifier needs to stay plugged in order to be used. I purchased a similar humidifier on Amazon that indicated portable and was usable without the cord. I thought this would be the same. Its partly my mistake for not reading the description well enough but I did feel a little mislead. Overall, Im keeping the two that I purchased regardless because they do get the primary job done.

> 24 hourOverall its great. It definitely helped to remove static electricity in my blankets and room. The downside is the size and how quickly it goes through water. I do wish it had more settings, you only get two. Constant on and 3 second intervals. Running the unit on the 3 second interval will burn through the water in just about 8 hours. Other than that, I do like it quite a lot but Ill have to get a bigger unit.

> 24 hourGot this for my plants. It’s quiet (literally doesn’t make any sounds) and works for what I needed it for. Would NOT recommend for someone who wants more humidity in the air when they sleep. For plants that need humidity? Perfect. Keeps them alive and healthy. It does have a small charging cable, and it’s not battery operated. This was not an issue for me. I’ve had this for two months now and it still functions the same with no sign of mold. You have to fill it at least once a day
