I bought this to take with me to work because I am constantly dry especially this harsh beginning to winter! I love it!! Of course it is not as effective as a full size humidifier but it has made enough difference that I don’t wake up feeling dry! Really loved this and recommend it for the price!!

It works well. After a day....pour out water in the bottom. I use moist paper towel with lemon flavored lysol to clean it because the water gets stagnant easily. Its winter and heat is on and it helps keep my nasal passage moist. I would recommend it for this reason. Put essential oil on the tiny sponge located at the back! I use cold water from my tap. Update: it traps dirt/dust from environment and makes it into a slimey gel like thing. You have to pull off cap in cover & wash it out and use tootbrush to wash out the long area that the steam comes through because it traps dirt. It WORKS WELL....but you have to clean it weekly.

I wanted to try a cool mist humidifier so I checked this one out. Even though every humidifier wants distilled water to use in it that can get expensive during the winter months since you would have to stock up on many gallons of distilled water for a four to six month period which can be quite costly. Tap water the fastest method but then your releasing the dreaded WHITE MIST which will emit quite a lot. Starts to white mist your room on everything. So you try these decriminalize tap water products and all the one I have tried to use to not work. Still had white mist coming out. So Im sure most other cool mist ultrasonic humidifiers have the same issue. Ive gone back to the warm air humidifier with filters because at least I dont get white mist from the ones I have purchased later. Only drawback is replacing filters but try to get a humidifier that have the filters that last the longest time wise to save costs replacing them several times during continuous use. Have a great day everyone.

I am so glad that I found this company on Amazon. As I was looking for the kind my mom told me about I could not find that kind, so when I saw this GENIANI Black model I was like that looks cool. Got the 1st one home and installed easy as ABC123, poof it was up and running. My first night cleared up my SINUSES from DRY NASTY to I could BREATHE and slept all thru the NIGHT. Been sleeping without having to wake up to stuff in my nose. I thought you only run these type of machines in the winter but I was wrong. I have a large UNIT that holds 10 gallon or more of water with 2 large jugs and its not convenient but it worked, but I like this smaller one next to my BED because the other large unit was in the living room. So when I told my dad on day 3 that I can breathe he asked me to order him one. So we did we got it fast also and he is now sleeping thru the night as well. I cannot thank the owner of this company enough. I even got a personal letter in the mail. I plan on buying these for each room as needed. You get to TOP FILL these which is so nice. I just keep a Gallon of Extra water behind the night stands just in case you need extra water. Mine will hold 1 GALLON. IT says fill 3/4 up if you are going to sleep so you dont have to get up and fill it. I am running my new ones all day all night. It has AUTO SHUT OFF when the water runs out and it also has a sensor. I like keeping a little UNIT I found on amazon that tells me the Digits of the AIR QUALITY and HUMIDITY. These machines are so quiet and the LED night light does not bother my father. Usually he cannot stand LIGHTS in his bedroom. But he has this one point towards his face. ITs so nice to finally buy a PRODUCT that JUST WORKS and its PLUG & PLAY simple. I love these and will tell everyone I know that this is a well made product it does what it says. I cannot say enough about this product.

--- EDIT 2023-06-07 --- Updating my review as the unit I originally received was faulty. I got in touch with Geniani, described the issues and they sent me a replacement. For the last 3 months the replacement has been working perfectly. My review is now 4 stars; It would have been 5, but the high pitched sound from the device is still a minor irritation whichI have overcome by moving it further away from my bed, and turning on a fan. --- END EDIT --- Ive had the unit a little over 6 weeks and initially i wasnt able to sleep with it in the room due to the high pitch whining but I persisted and got used to it. Now in the last couple of weeks the small fan inside has developed an issue and sounds like its catching on internal wiring and creating a very loud buzz. Overall poor build quality. Would not recommend.

Works very well! Travels great!

Pros - Perfect size and easy to fill and clean. Nice looking. Cons - has an annoying low buzz, but if it’s in a room other than a bedroom, it’s very doable.

Used the silver floating fish to combat bacterial growth but did not see vast improvement. Still keep the lit tapped shut. This unit is a little too bright at night. I have had to also tape over the resevoir and on button to reduce the light at night. I think it is just a cheap unit now that I have another brand. Compared with my new unit, this Geniani seems cheap. Spend the extra $ and get a better unit. This unit does unplug in thr back which I have found I like. That is the only positive after this whole time. I only use it because I paid too much for it. **Updated after a year (above)** Not sure how but I found a live cricket inside my unit. It must have come from the ceiling and fell inside. It is up on a counter about 4 feet tall. I was grossed out. Also found a dead moth inside. Promptly taped up the opening. Now I just take off the lid and add distilled water that way. Not a biggie. Do not like the hole on top for adding water as its open to everything else as well. Loss of 1 star. I will try a different unit next time. The little oil diffuser is a gimmick. Cannot smell a thing. There is a little gap on top as the lid just sits on top. Minor issues basically. Overall I like it. Do not like that I have to block the top off but this is an attractive unit. It hardly makes any noise (as compared to my Vicks brand machines) and I like that I can toggle between less and more moisture (although honestly it doesnt seem like any difference). It is easy to clean. I like that it comes apart into 2 distinct units. I clean my units regularly with bleach water, use a little fish cleaner inside and NEVER use tap water! I can go 2 weeks in between cleanings and have used the same units for years! The distilled water is a MUST! Just an observation from reading reviewers comments who obviously use tap water.

I purchased two of these, because the product description hit all the buttons I was looking for: filterless, top-filling, easy to clean. In fact, it states cleaning and refilling is a breeze. Then I read the manual. The very first step to setting up the humidifier is to remove the accessories from the box. There were no accessories in my box, which left me with a sinking feeling that only grew worse as I kept reading. To clean the atomizer, you have to inject 10ml of acetum into it, then immerse it (in what, it doesnt say), then scrub it with the cleaning brush. Which sent me scouring my box to see if I had missed one or both of those things. I had not. They were never included. Thankfully, I have an extra toothbrush lying around. Also, I learned that acetum is another name for vinegar. Or a solution that includes vinegar. Except that the manual later states to add a small amount of vinegar of 5-10 drops of cleaning solution into the water tank to clean the tank, so who knows what the intended meaning of acetum actually is in this context. Also, Im pretty sure 5-10 drops of vinegar isnt going to clean anything, so is there, in fact, a special cleaning solution I should be using? I dont know, but given how grammatically-challenged this manual is, it should probably be viewed more like guidelines than actual instructions. So far, they seem to be working well, but if that changes, Ill update my review.

Its a fantastic humidifier, no question about that, at least for me. My only issue so far is that the smart setting, where the system will detect how humid the air is and adjust output itself, seems to not be working correctly. I could change it to the smart setting and no mist comes out. The lights will indicate that the room is too humid, so it wont output any mist. While thats fine, if I move the unit even just a few inches, all of a sudden it thinks the room is bone dry and will go through a gallon of water over the course of 30 hours (I timed it, and it just ran out a few minutes before Im writing this after fully filling it up). Other than that annoyance, the unit works amazingly well. Only reason it isnt 5 stars is because the smart mode doesnt really work, at least for me (maybe a defective unit for all I know).
