LEVOIT OasisMist Smart Cool and Warm Mist Humidifiers for Bedroom Large Room Home, Auto Customized Humidity, Ultrasonic Top Fill Oil Diffuser for Baby and Plants, Quiet, 4.5L, White

I like it alright. I think it’s a good humidifier. The only thing that annoys me about it is that I only get one night out of it before I have to refill the tank, and also if it runs out of water, instead of turning off, it just continues to try starting over and over again and it makes a noise when it does that, which is annoying. I wish it would just turn off when it runs out instead of trying aimlessly to start over and over again until I wake up and turn it off.

Great Product, does everything its supposed to. Description describes it to a tee. Great Customer service. Had an issue with the remote. They immediately replaced it.

Pros- awesome unit, mostly quiet, nice capacity. Cons- not suitable for elderly, as you got to toss a full 6l plastic vat like a pizza to reinstall after filling. Also, where the cutout is for the steam pointer, and handle, there are two 90 degree angles of plastic which could have been rounded for safer operation when handling while filling.. Sides that, it is keeking ass and taking names in my apt, love it. PLants love it.

We 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.

My last humidifier was just too gunky to use anymore, as its impossible to clean the tank. Vinegar just doesnt do it. The auto feature on the Levoit will shut it off when it reaches 60% and I can see why. I ran mine at the highest mist setting and it was getting to 69%, but the carpet nearby was getting damp, (The unit sits on the corner edge of my dresser.) I have an Airthings sensor across the room from it and it read as high as 63%, so this thing does do the job. My bedroom is 14 by 14 with a 13 high ceiling. I looked at the APP and dont see it even worthwhile to add another password to my black book. Some Internet gadgets are okay, but most things will include a remote if its worthwhile to have one. Theres hardly any adjustments necessary for the humidifier; just press the A for auto mode and forget it. Neither do I see a need for a Sleep function as you cant hear it running anyway. Just hit the A and walk away. I like how easy this will be to clean, unlike my last one. Theres only a few areas in the lower part under the tank where youll need the small brush they provide, but at least you can stick you hand in the tank to clean the sides and bottom. I saw people complaining about the white dust from minerals. You should NEVER use tap water as you are breathing this stuff. Also, do NOT put alcohol in the water to sanitize it, not even drinking alcohol, as breathing it you will super absorb it into your bloodstream, and thats NOT a good thing. I installed an under the counter Reverse Osmosis unit that removes all the minerals and other things, and use this for the humidifier. So no white dust problem here. Buying distilled water is too expensive for daily use. It would be more economical to install a filtering system that lasts a lifetime. (On a side note, Las Vegas recycles their water and it tastes horrible, so I distill the water from my RO system to make it drinkable. Particle testers show the water particle levels after distilling are too low to read, so now I feel its safe to drink.)

Its a decent humidifier with warm and cold mist options. Does a good job of increasing the humidity level in a short time. Only complaint is that humidity level shown on the display might not be relevant. It senses its immediate surroundings and the actual humidity level 2 ft away from the unit might be half of whats shown on the display.

After a few months I finally figured out that NONE of the humidifiers mentioned in my original review are suitable for a) guitars, b) heavy use or c) use where water has a lot of minerals (i.e., hard water). The three units mentioned all employ what amounts to an inkjet-like sprayer. These spit VERY FINE calcium particles into the air (along with water) and that effect COMPLETELY COVERS EVERYTHING with a VERY FINE white (calcium) powder. I ultimately, moved to a FORTH humidifier from “AirCare” (also available on Amazon) after visiting a local guitar shop and seeing what they use. The AirCare unit does not use an inkjet-like design. So, no white powder. It’s also much larger and can keep a large room at 47% with ease. After many months with the AirCare, I’ve settled into a routine where I clean its “filter” with vinegar instead of simply changing the filter for a new one each time the machine asks for a filter change. This reduces cost of operation DRAMATICALLY and lets me just fill with hard/tap water. IF you have a fancy guitar and need to control its humidity THE AIRCARE IS THE BEST (arguable only) answer. I have some nice acoustic guitars and live in the desert so a humidifier is a must. I’ve now purchased three different humidifiers (all from Amazon)... 1) this one; 2) the teardrop shaped one you see around here; 3) the Taotronic (blue/white, 4L w/ humidistat). The best choice has turned out be #3. The teardrop one is basic. Turn it on. It runs until empty. The mist is variable but otherwise there are no other controls. This one (Levoit) is the nicest looking. It’s got a bit of an Apple vibe. ...and it holds the most water. Features wise it tops the others with heat (which I could care less about), a remote (which I could care less about) and 6L capacity. You’d think because it holds more water that you’d fill it less often. But that’s not really the case as it tends to pump more water (without any obvious improvement in humidity) over the Taotronic one. The controls appear nicer but that too is misleading. I actually have found it to be LESS intuitive (it seems to ignore my “use the humidistat” option 60% of the time so I just fave up and set it to full auto. That works but it sets the humidity level to 60+% so it goes through more water. Good for plants but too much for my guitars (which want 45-50%). I have to refill them onceveach day or so but the Taotronics is WAY easier to pop the container, fill and reseat. The Levoit is actually a minor pita to refill. Not horrible. Just not the better of the two. The Taotronics also has a humidistat so you can push a button once or twice and ignore it letting the machine work up to the correct humidity and then act like a furnace/thermostat keeping the humidity just right. The Levoit does this too but 60% of the time the ui didn’t do what I expected (and the machine never turned on or never turned off). It’s got a Mac aesthetic but a PC implementation (if I’m making sense). The Taotronics is the opposite (function / ease of use over design aesthetic). Long story short, I’m going to get a second Taotronics and retire this and the hershey kiss shaped on.

Bought it as a pre-owned item. It still had some water in it and the filter for the oils was still in it....used....which was kind of icky, but it works great

It’s quite and controllable with phone app. Puts out cool mist or warm steam. Duel zone nozzle. Can turn off or on anywhere you have internet with the app.

Gets 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.
