Product Overview
The Levoit humidifier was made to fill dry air in homes by adding moisture. It has features that allow users to turn it into either warm or cool mist. In addition, depending on the product model, some of these units have an auto-humidity feature. Users are able to adjust how much mist comes out and they can also operate their unit using apps.
Its large capacity tank is located at the top so filling it will be easy. The built-in humidity-sensing device allows users to set a desired humidity level which the unit will then maintain automatically. Users report that the devices run very quietly. Therefore, they can be left running while users are sleeping.
Customers Say
Some of the most common comments from users about this product relate to its low noise level enough so as to be suitable for a bedroom, along with how well it produces a thick fog/mist. Also, one thing which buyers have said they particularly like about this product is the automatic humidity control function. This allows them to adjust the humidity in their rooms much less than other products on the market and maintain relatively consistent levels. Additionally, many customers who have purchased this humidifier comment positively upon the fact that the top fill design makes refilling and cleaning of the device simpler compared to some lower fill humidifiers.
Finally, while there were very few negative comments, a couple of things stood out. One issue was that owners had to continually clean the unit in order to avoid clogging; another issue was that mineral buildup occurs if you use hard tap water; and finally, there were some instances where the display humidity reading differed from a separate hygrometer located in an adjacent room.
