GENIANI is a mini humidifier, it cannot be used with essential oils, it shows a warning on the top of the unit after you unpack it, even though the instructions state where to put oils, this particular model cannot be used with oils. I like how small it is, perfect for anyones bedside. It runs via a USB cord, the instructions mentioned you can use a 5V power adapter that did not come with it. The USB cord is pretty short it is a little less than 3 feet. Connecting this near a bedside would be easy if you have something that takes a USB cable, like a power bank or an alarm clock that has USB slots which ours does. Per the box it is USB powered it needs to be continuously plugged in. The set up is very easy. Hold the base, and turn the top part clockwise to open. If you look at the top part you can see where the long filter is, you turn that counterclockwise to remove it. The filter that is in there, needs to be soaked in water for about 1-2 minutes (first-time use), and then it can be placed back in. It is very easy to put back in. Then fill the clear bottom part with water, do not use hot water. The box states 8.45 fl oz, I would just put 8 oz of water, as there is no real water line. Then you are ready to plug it in and let it do its job. The extra moisture next to the bed will be perfect, as I wake with a very dry throat and sometimes with a headache, so I am hoping this will work out great. It does come with an extra filter, which is nice. My only issue, really, is the filter where do I get replacement filters? What happens when you can no longer find the filters, can we make our own? That is the huge downfall with any humidifiers that use filters. As wonderful as this portable humidifier is, how will it work if I no longer can find filters? I hope to never have to replace it. I checked their website that is shown on the box, and they do not carry this model on the website. However, it comes with a 1 YEAR WARRANTY. Risk-Free Purchase & Hassle-Free Replacement!

Life changing seemed overwhelming of a title to my review, so we’ll go with sleep improving! I have been constantly getting up in the middle of the night to hack out from the back of my throat or blowing my nose all the nasty. I’m not sick, no flu, no sore throat, I don’t have severe allergies, it didn’t make any sense why I always had nasty mucous build up, especially when I am laying on my back sleeping. Did some googling and found out too dry of air can cause your body to over compensate, developing mucous, but so much so that it can feel like you have a glump of it blocking your airway so badly, you can’t properly breathe. I was losing so much sleep for the past few months. I tried neti pots but that was temporary relief before ultimately back at the sink. Humidifiers apparently did the trick, took a stab at this one. No regrets!! Super thankful. Since day one of using this, I have not gotten up outta bed unless I was thirsty and needed to empty my bladder! Some things to note; -Shipping was fast as prime could be, but it wasn’t the product inside an Amazon box, just the product box itself, I don’t get these very often. I don’t think anyone would try and steal off my porch anyway seeing a humidifier, lol -The light is a bit bright, you can shut off the inside light where the tank is, but the button led is still always on if the humidifier is on. Not too much of a bother, I’ve grown accustomed to wearing a sleep eye patch. -Filled this up to max line, full blast, and I still have plenty leftover after 12 hrs of use. -I am a hot sleeper and was afraid this humidifier would make it ‘humid’, meaning hot. But it’s super refreshing getting a nice mist on my skin. I might have to buy more just to place throughout my apartment! (But I only have the issue when I’m sleeping) Thanks for making an awesome product!

1.- Easy to put together, 2.- very silent(unlike the humidifier I previously owned) 3. Like that it is white and not the standard Black color 4.The directions, are hidden within the 13 page booklet that comes with the humidifier. I literally had to use my yellow highlighter, in order to get to the directions quickly again. And the directions are NOT easy to follow. They assume the owner understands some of the basic procedures, which they should of not done. So I am extremely unhappy with this company. I will not buy another humidifier from them again. I will find another company that has detailed instructions in its humidifier manual.

This is a nice little mister and would have gotten five stars except that it quit working after barely a month. Just past the Amazon return window (of course). So heres what happened: I received the item at the end of December and have used it every night since. I clean it every week. But here it is just one week past the return window and I plug it in after cleaning and nothing happens. The red light that is supposed to show briefly doesnt come on, it wont turn on, nothing. So the first thing I do is take it to a different outlet to make sure that its the machine and not the outlet. Still nothing. Phooey. I take the top off to empty (yes its still plugged in and I know better) and the base of the unit is filled with mist and theres a little spit of water leaping up about every two seconds. Color me astonished. As Im watching this weird spectacle, the red light comes on and it produces a strong stream of mist and then everything stops again. After about a minute, this weird routing starts again. I havent touched it at all, its off and its doing all this by itself. Ooookay...twilight zone in my bathroom. I unplug it and hightail it to my computer to access my order only to find that the return window expired less than a week ago. Double phooey. So I look up the brand name and go to their website to see if there are any FAQs or troubleshooting hints that address what Im experiencing. Nada. So I do the adult thing and go to their contact info, find their phone number and call. The customer service rep listened to what I described and then told me that apparently the base of the unit is faulty and they will send me a new one. All I have to do is send an email with some specific info, which I promptly do. The very next day I have an email from them informing me that the new base has shipped. Two days later, I receive the new base and everything is working fine once again.

Before purchasing, I researched maybe 10 other humidifiers being sold on Amazon and I finally settled on this one. Key things to consider when buying a humidifier: How easy is it to refill? Other humidifiers have to be filled upside down! I was not gonna go through the hassle of having to bring it to the sink and disassemble it every time I wanted to fill it. This one fills by just pouring water on the top. It has a little slit for small fills but if you want to fill the whole thing, just take the top part off, very easy. Size: This one holds a gallon of water and lasts me a few days of it running for hours each day. Id say if it was constantly running it would last a night of sleep plus a half. Timer: This one unfortunately does not have a timer. I kinda wish I bought the one with the timer but it is not a big deal. This one claims that it will turn off if it gets too humid but I havent noticed that to be true. It does shut off automatically when it runs out of water though Visible fill line: I wanted to be able to see what level the water is at so I can expect when it will need a refill. This basin is not see through but it does have a fill line that is lit up when on. Essential oils: I didnt buy this for the essential oil slot but it is a nice addition. When I want to freshen up my room from the stale air I just dab some essential oils onto the pad in the pop-out plastic tray. One small con is that the tray gets kind of stuck after you click it to open. I have to tug on it a little but not a big deal. Mist height and direction: This one shoots up pretty high and has 3 different height settings. The mist also seems to fall on my left when I am sitting below it. I have it on top of my bedframe. Noise level: This thing is so quiet, it does make some water noises with a very small whirring sound but it is pretty peaceful Hope this helps you decide on your purchase!

This humidifier is a winter MUST HAVE. Ours is constantly running and makes a huge difference in the quality of sleep we are getting. The top of the machine is fairly easy to clean, but the only issue comes from trying to clean the base pan, this proves to be more challenging. We clean ours at the end of each month, so other than that, the machine is a staple in our home throughout the rest of the month. Very quite and easy to adjust based on the flow your home needs.

As a personal humidifier, this is great. It has no permanent light, but does light up for you when changing modes. Even though it only holds roughly a 12 oz cup of water, its enough for it to run all night, and if you put it bedside, it helps keep you from drying out. Its a good supplement if youre just a bit dry. The included USB cord may be a bit short, but those are easy to swap out. Very neat overall. It comes with 1 spare cotton wick, so Im hoping they last a while and dont get too icky over time.

Great for my plants on my hutch.

I have been happy with my purchase of this very small humidifier. The only reason why I didn’t give it five stars across-the-board was I thought that the instructions to clean it were a little bit vague. It would be helpful if they had a diagram showing what each of the parts is called. In the end I figured it out but I think they could’ve made this easier for the consumer.

I love this humidifier because it is relatively easy to clean… except for this one part that leads up to the mist chamber (not sure what it is actually called). The rest of this humidifier is easy to take apart and clean… but this part… where I have had mold and other stuff grow despite my regular cleanings, does not come apart easily. It is an absolute nightmare to get off, IF you can even get it off. The other flaw this humidifier has is that after a year or so, when you wash it and let it dry, it doesn’t always work immediately. There have been times where I can’t use it for a couple days because it just won’t run. This is my second of these humidifiers because when I contacted the company about the issue mentioned above they told me it was because something got wet inside that wasn’t supposed to. And that was it. No further help. Normally that would turn me off from a company and their product, but I use a humidifier every night because of my sinuses and the two humidifiers I’ve owned by this company have lasted for upwards of 4-5 years compared to my previous ones that maybe lasted 6 months because I couldn’t clean all the parts well enough because of how they were built.
