Product Overview
The Levoit Smart Humidifier allows for users to add moisture to their home’s dry indoor air by providing a way of adjusting the user-set desired humidity level as well as monitoring the actual humidity level in real-time via its Digital Controls.
In addition to its digital controls, the Levoit Smart Humidifier also has remote access capabilities via the VeSync App which enables users to view their current operating status, set/modify timed schedule, as well as adjust/monitor any number of the units operational settings. A Top-Fill Water Tank was added to this design so that consumers can refill and clean the unit with ease without having to flip the entire water reservoir.
Customers Say
Many of Levoit's customers have reported ease of setup and a consistently maintained level of humidity in their bedroom, living room, etc. The main feature of the top fill design has been received with many compliments as users do not need to turn this unit upside down when refilling the water tank. Users also praise the large opening for the tank which makes it much easier to clean.
A majority of customers appreciate the smart control functions and are very happy with being able to check on the humidity levels and adjust those settings via an application instead of having to walk across the room.
The major complaints regarding the product include issues with the sensors accuracy, connection to the application and how regularly the product needs to be cleaned so as not to leave deposits (mineral) or debris.
A few users have mentioned that they have noticed slight discrepancies in their humidity readings compared to independent hygrometer units. Others have stated that although it does require occasional cleaning, they were still concerned about mineral build-up/debris inside the unit.

Bottom Line
If you're looking to get something beyond just the basic options of a humidifier, then the LEVOIT humidifier could be an excellent choice. It has many positive features including adjustable humidity controls that can also be controlled by a smartphone app. Additionally, it is equipped with a large easy-to-use top fill tank and operates quietly under normal conditions. However, there are some negative features as well. For example, this product will require frequent cleaning in order to continue operating properly. Another negative feature is that sometimes the built-in humidity monitor does not match what you may see using your own separate room monitor.
