LEVOIT Cool Mist Humidifier 6L for 505sqft

Update 9/26/24: After my old humidifier started leaking and died, I bought the LEVOIT OasisMist 1000S. This one has the entire tank at the bottom (which is huge, holds 10liters of water) and the top part that has the screen/humidifier parts that you can remove from the bottom/tank. The tank is just one piece of plastic instead of multiple pieces like my old one so I highly doubt it will end up leaking (knock on wood!). I think I would recommend this one, just because I know the tank is a lot more sturdy than the other one, the tank holds a lot more water (I refill every other day), and it does all the same things the other one did (control with your phone, that kind of stuff). I’ll update if something happens to this one lol Update 3/21/24: Pretty bummed because I really liked this humidifier (I purchased the 300s) but the tank started leaking a few days ago. Bought it and been using it since last November pretty much 24/7 except when I would leave to go out (if I would remember to turn it off lol). The other day I noticed the humidifier was showing the reading of 85% humidity which I knew was way off since I live in Colorado and even when I have the humidifier turned on it rarely gets up to 40% in my room. I noticed there was water all around the tank and on my carpet and I read that off readings on the humidifier was due to the sensor getting wet so I emptied the tank, cleaned the entire thing out plus the base and let it dry for a Cpl hours then filled it back up and ran it again. The % this time wasn’t as high but still off and the next hour or so it kept going down until it got to 40% but then I noticed it going back up. Went to check on it and water was all over the tank again so I knew there definitely was a leak. Put the (almost) full tank in my sink and the next morning there was only 1/4 water left in it. I’m thinking the water is leaking out from where the clear plastic on the sides meets the white plastic on the bottom of the tank. So I’m going to have to change my review from 5 stars to 2 because I only got a couple months out of it before it died. Still going to give it a 2 though because I really did like this humidifier. Being able to control and adjust the settings easily with my phone and it was super easy to clean. Just wish it the tank didn’t start leaking! Also btw in my previous review I said I didn’t notice any sediment/gunk forming in the bottom. I eventually did but it was easy to clean off in the sink with some warm water and a non-abrasive scrub brush. I definitely think changing the filters regularly helped keep that stuff from forming. I’m not so sure about the humidifier drops but I’ll still use them in my next humidifier I just purchased. ———— Love this humidifier. I live in CO where it is super dry especially during winter. I used a couple different ones but they always ended up with gunk/sediment in the bottom so I had to get rid of them. I know it’s better to use distilled water but I’m not paying for distilled water when I have to refill my humidifier every night. I didn’t use one last year and this year my nose and throat were so dry, I was getting nose bleeds and my throat hurt so bad I thought I was actually sick but decided to try a humidifier first to see if it would help. I liked this one because I could control it with my phone and it showed the humidity levels. After plugging it in it showed my rooms humidity level was 30% and having it on for 30 min my nose and throat felt so much better. I like how you can just pick up the tank from the bottom part, carry it to the sink then remove the lid and fill it up, really simple and easy. I also like that it has a filter (and options to buy more) because after a few refills I can see the filter start to change color so I feel like that’s helping keep gunk out from the bottom. I haven’t noticed any gunk/sediment and I’ve been using it continuously now for about two months but I also put “humidifier drops” in the water that I purchased on Amazon that supposedly helps stop buildup. Not sure if that is what’s helping. I also like the app. You can turn the humidifier on or off using the app, set a timer, put it on auto (which will turn off the humidifier at a certain humidity level) or set it on manual (where you choose how much moisture comes out). It also shows what the humidity level has been over time in the room you put the humidifier in and the humidifier itself shows on a little screen in front what the current humidity level is. There’s also a light inside the humidifier they call a “night light” you can turn on or off. All in all it’s a pretty neat humidifier. I guess it depends on how dry it is where you live because mine is set to shut off at 45% humidity and it rarely gets to that level so it’s basically on all the time except when I turn it off when I go out. So I usually have to refill it every night which is kind of a bummer but at least my nose/throat/skin isn’t so crazy dry anymore. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a humidifier that they can control with their phone and is pretty easy to refill and use. App set up and pairing was super easy as well.
