LV600S Smart Warm&Cool Mist Humidifiers for Home Bedroom Large Room

Bought this humidifier based on NYT Wirecutter recommendation. My bedroom is particularly dry over the winter time, so I needed something to bring the humidity level up. This humidifier works great. Easy to set up and run. My bedroom is about 12 x 15 with a cathedral ceiling, and the machine successfully raises the humidity from 30-35% to 45-50% and keeps it at that level over the 8 hours I'm sleeping. I fill the tank with a gallon of distilled water, and I'm able to run it about 2 nights before the water runs out. The noise level is noticeable when it is on, but not very loud. I usually run a white noise machine at night anyway which completely covers any sound the humidifier makes. I do recommend using the heated steam setting over the winter as it seems to make the room more comfortable. As for cleaning, I've had the humidifier about a month, and I've just been emptying the tank every 2 days, taking it apart (which is quite easy), wiping down the parts with a microfiber cloth, and then letting it air dry over the course of the day. That seems to work well. I do plan on doing a deeper cleaning after a month probably following the recommendations made by Wirecutter for how to do that. You have the option to use essential oils if you want to try aromatherapy, however, I've not tried that, and I'm not sure how healthy that would be for overnight use. You can use an app with the machine which gives you better control over the machine (like finer grain control of humidity settings and options to turn off display), but it's not required. It is pretty easy to set up, and I like being able to use the app on my phone to control it from bed when needed. If you need a humidifier, I highly recommend it.

Update: discovered the leak issue was apparently my mistake. I had moved the humidifier a few inches by picking it up by the water reservoir indented handles. Apparently this was enough to break the pressure seal between the tank and the base. Took the unit apart, checked the float, which was operating fine, and refilled the humidifier. Marked the water level with a crayon and left it in the kitchen sink overnight. Leak had stopped and no water lost. This was operator error on my part. If you have moved your humidifier when water is in the reservoir using the indented handles, there is a risk of leaks developing around the water reservoir and the base. As precaution, I placed a dollar store cake storage pan under the humidifier just in case. Changing my review to five stars. Very happy with the quiet operation, ease of cleaning, affordable replacement filters, and it's ability to raise humidity in our 12' x 15' family room. Purchased four of this model as I trust the brand. Two were sent as gifts, and two are in our home. One began leaking two weeks from purchase. We are adults,no pets, humidifier is on the carpet and stays there. We don't walk through that area. Use soft water only and clean it every few days. Will contact Levoit. We absolutely love the compact shape, easy to clean, basic design. It is quiet and made a great difference in the humidity comfort level. It really does cover the square footage claimed. Other than it leaks, we really like it, but am hesitant to replace the leaking one with the same model. We also bought two Levoit bedroom humidifiers, round 2 liters, and they are fantastic.

I really love this unit. It is the best humidifier I've had. The fact that it can maintain a set humidity level relatively accurately is a huge asset. I live in the southwestern US and it is very dry here, and I am also a musician. Having recently purchased a very nice acoustic guitar made of all solid wood, I wanted a humidifier that would keep my apartment at a stable humidity level ideal for an acoustic instrument. This unit does the job but requires some extra steps to make it truly work for me. I've found that under normal operation, the humidifier will run until the internal hygrometer senses that it has reached the target humidity level. Once it has reached the target level, it will stop until the relative humidity drops to 5% below target and then it will run again. However, it will often linger around the target level (according to the display) when it clearly feels dryer than what is being displayed. Now, I have yet to test this with another hygrometer (I need a weird battery for my other one that I have been too busy/tired/lazy to buy), but other people have and they have noticed that the displayed RH% on the Levoit unit is about 10% higher than on another hygrometer. What I have noticed is that if I run a fan in the room, the displayed RH% drops significantly, and then the humidifier is outputting quite a bit more mist and at this point I feel that the RH% on the readout matches what I feel in the room. This is consistent with other reviews. My belief is that the humidity sensor on the Levoit unit is not that well designed. It seems to be fooled by the mist around the humidifier into detecting a higher-than-accurate humidity level. This is easily remedied by running a fan near the humidifier to encourage airflow. About the aroma pad (IMPORTANT!): I DO NOT recommend using the aroma pad. I was really excited for this feature and it plain doesn't work. Levoit says aroma should be "light" and I would agree if you put your nose right up to it, yes, you can smell a light aroma. It does nothing for the room. What it does seem to do is further confound the humidity sensor, making it impossible for the unit to reach anywhere near the target humidity. At one point, I noticed I was getting no mist output for some time after applying oil to the aroma pad and inserting it. I removed the aroma pad, and the readout RH% dropped like a rock! The sensor is right in that area where the aroma box is, so I just bought a separate ultrasonic diffuser to make my apartment smell nice. Other than the aroma box/humidity sensor issue, this is actually a fantastic unit. Very easy to clean, easy to fill and the big reservoir can last a while. If I need to take a trip and I'm gone for a few days, it will keep my apartment humid enough that my guitar is happy. The mist output is strong, and the two rotating nozzles really spread it around. I've heard also that a separate smart-home hygrometer connected to a smart outlet can regulate the unit's output if the unit is set to manual, which would then make it a perfect set-and-forget humidity solution.

I love the Levoit humidifier for our Arizona climate. I have a large bedroom and it works well to keep some moisture in the air, and makes breathing easier, plus, it's great for dry skin. I had to reach out to customer service due to a malfunctioning unit, and within days the new unit was on its way, and they followed up to ensure everything was to my satisfaction. I don't see many companies with exemplary customer service anymore, so it was much appreciated and refreshing.

Extremely quiet and efficient humidifier. The mobile app works very well. Easy to use.

Love them. Use them everyday. Live in a dry desert and wood furniture was shrinking and cracking. These maintain proper humidity. We use two for a 2000 sqft house. Daytime in the living room. Night in the bedroom. It requires half a gallon of DISTILLED water per unit per day.

I waited to write this review until I had gotten usage & a good cleaning out of it so I could give a very honest review. Needless to say I was left appalled & horrified! After 1 night of usage the humidifier mist output started to smell badly and the mist output was fluctuating from barely there to an abundance of mist! I immediately checked out the humidifier the following morning & the filter was a dirty black color! I used distilled water so there wouldn't be any hard minerals or materials from our faucet/pipes. With that being stated I knew the filter becoming that dirty with 1 night of use was not due to bad or contaminated water. I took the extra filter that was included with the humidifier & put it promptly in & figured the dirt was probably due to parts breaking in. Not so. Used the humidifier that night & woke up with the same mist output issue & dirty filter! The mist output flucutuated so poorly that night we woke up to our floor SOAKED with water! I immediately had to clean our carpet to prevent molding (we even had the humidifier sitting off of our floor!) & after the cleaning rushed to work! Upon getting home that evening I started a clean of the humidifier in hopes that would help. IT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT!! In fact I was HORRIFIED as to what I saw once I started the cleaning process! The water in the tank part was clear as if I had just poured it out of the bottle BUT the water in the base was PINK & so was th floater! Please keep in mind this was only after the 2nd night of usage & I used distilled water!!! I cleaned the humidifier according to the instructions & that's when I realized you CAN'T TRULY clean this humidifier!! Inside of the tank is the mist output tube which has part of the silencer base permanently attached to it therefore making it IMPOSSIBLE to clean! I tried using the brush included & to say that brush is useless is an understatement!!! I proceeded to use the EVERY type of long cleaning tool I owned to try to get this part cleaned & ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED!!! After 2 long hours I finally gave up realizing this humidifier is EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL to mine & my family's health so I threw it away after taking photos so I could post them with this review!! Using this humidifier will NOT HELP your family's health BUT HURT your family's health! I can not begin to imagine what this humidifier would have looked like if I had decided to use tap water instead if using the distilled water!! DO NOT BUT THIS HUMIDIFIER!!!!!!!!

2-3 years ago wife and I bought a humidifier, which kicked the bucket during last spring. I fixed it myself by building my own power supply for it. However, it decided to kick the bucket again for another reason in mid December. Not being from the midwest, or the US, I struggle a lot with the dry air in the winter and so not having a humidifier was not an option. We spent a week coming up with products on amazon, but we never settled on any. On a whim, I purchased this one and got it next day (I'm a Prime member). I had stocked up on distilled water for this little guy prior to it arriving, so we could get it set up and running as soon as it came in. Opening the package I was impressed, the product was very well packaged and came with a buttload of instructions and filters for essential oils (which we wont use). Set up took about 5 minutes, it's pretty basic stuff. It took 1 and a half gallons of distilled water to fill it to the brim. From full, it takes about 4 days or so to go through that much water. Yet, it still puts out a good thick amount of mist. Astonishing to me, we were refilling the old humidifier daily. This one is much easier to fill too. What I like though, is just how sleek this thing looks on our dresser. It fits right in with everything else. We've had no leaking or dripping that other reviewers have had, it's very quiet too. The display can be turned off pretty easily if it's too bright for you at night. There is no filter for the water like some other models, which I knew when I bought it. So you really should use distilled water for this or you could have issues with calcium build up or white dust/flakes using regular tap water. For me personally, I definitely have noticed a drastic improvement in air quality in the bedroom. With the output on this thing though, it's definitely suitable for a larger room such as a living room. We just use it in the bedroom, as we were waking up with dry mouths and noses. If you're on the fence about this product, it has my stamp of approval. I've included a photo to show the size of the product. Be aware, you should provide some space to the rear, and left of the product as it vents air from there - which is why we have a little space besides our unit.

Bra funktioner men låter för mycket efter ett par år. Det hjälper inte att rengöra

Very good & nice product,

Nicht zu groß, kein Geräusch, funktioniert super

Amazing purifier. Being smart is definitely worth every penny as you just need to adjust it once and it will do the trick

Utilizo humidificadores desde hace años y este modelo me ha encantado, tiene buena potencia, es super silencioso, tiene gran capacidad de agua por los que dura las 24 horas sin problemas. Lo recomiendo
