This humidifier is quite simply the best I’ve tried. This winter, I’ve ordered and returned about 10 different ultrasonic (filter-less) humidifiers, ranging from Vicks to Taotronics, to other off name brands I’ve never heard of but they had good reviews on Amazon. I’ve finally found this humidifier which meets all my needs. I must have a unit that is quiet when it comes to sounds, has a good mist output, fills from the top of the tank, and is easy to clean. This Levoit exceeds all.
My last few humidifiers of various brands all created a sound of some kind. I’ve tried two other top fill types, but they were constantly making a water dripping sound, like a fast dripping faucet in a sink. This is caused by water condensation at the top of the mist tube dripping back down into the base reservoir. This Levoit has a multilayered bottom on the mist tube which diverts the water drops from dripping straight down into the water, thus creating the noise. And being a top fill tank, you don’t have to unscrew a lid and turn it upside down to fill. These types create a loud “gurgling” sound usually every 30 min to an hour. This unit does not have any of those GULP GULP GULP sounds that wake you up.
The tank is top filled, so it has a VERY large opening on the top making it easy to get your hand in there to clean it. Again, bottom filled tanks are harder to clean because the only opening you can get your hand into is the lid that you unscrew to fill the tank. This tank also has another clever modification to it on the top of the tank. It has slits in each corner which means when you turn it upside down to empty the old water, any water trapped in the corners have a way to empty out.
So being literally, completely silent (including water noises) and having a easy to clean, top fill tank makes this the number 1 for me. The only thing I would mention now that may help you is this: you should download the app if only to set the default auto humidity settings to higher levels. What I mean is, at night, when you press the sleep button to turn off the LED display but to keep the unit running as you sleep, pressing it turns the unit to “auto” mode.” The default problem with this is that if the unit detects humidity levels above 40%, it auto shuts off. 40% to me is too low, so I had to use the app and set the auto goal to a 60% humidity. That way it’s not constantly cutting off at night on sleep mode. You can ONLY do this with the app. But this minor, one time fix is not near enough for me to mark this down. Best ultrasonic, cool mist humidifier there is for under $100.

Do not buy if intended use is ‘aromatherapy.’
Barely any scent is notable.
The owners manual actually states it’s not intended for this purpose, leading me to think this is an inaccurate product description. No partial refund will be offered, leaving the headache of returning.

Like other reviewers, I was happy with this humidifier at first, but on just the second tank fill, this unit leaked water all over my floor. I took the tank out, filled it with some water, and put it in a pan to check for leaks. Sure enough, the valve circled in the attached pic had a steady drip. This is the valve that is pushed open by the float in the unit’s base when more water is needed in the bottom; it’s supposed to be closed when the base is full. The leak causes the base to overfill and leak out of the unit. The valve is pretty flimsy and clearly a weak link in this unit. It’s going back, and I do not recommend.

works well, is quiet, does humidify my ~45 sqm apartment. Although you cannot use tap water or brita filtered water if you have hard tap water. visible layer of white dust all over room within 3 days of use. Room is filled with white fog. So you have to use distilled, purified or demineralized water if you want to have clean air in your home, which will be expensive in a long run. I’d suggest other humidifiers if you do not want to deal with that, although other options which do not create white dust (with tap water) are considerably louder and usually cost more straight up.
Where I live i can buy a 5l jug of distilled water for 2 euros. The humidifier seems to take about 10 litres per day on high, so thatll be about 120 euros per month – not worth.

Moin zusammen,
ich muss für das Gerät eine Lanze brechen. Ich habe es das Wochenende über im Einsatz, da wir im Haus Eichenparkett und Bodenheizung haben. Dadurch ist die Luftfeuchtigkeit um die 40%.
Das Gerät rennt seit Samstagmittag und wir haben sogar auf allen 3 Stockwerken ~50% (Wir haben es in den Flur ins 1 OG gestellt)
Bisher sind meine Erwartungen übertroffen, schauen wir wie es weiter geht!

This humidifier has a large chamber to hold water and it is very easy to fill by lifting the lid. However the control range is +/- 5% relative humidity so if you set at 60% it switches on at 55% and keeps going to 65% when it switches off again. My older bottom filled machine has a much narrower activation range. The controls are reliant on linking the humidifier to you phone. I couldn’t work out how the set the controls on the machine its self.
It is quiet while running.

Started leaking on very first day so going to return it, water on the floor damaged my smart LED lights as well. In past I never had any complaints with Levoit but this this time didn’t like it at all.
On Good side its smart humidifier so you can turn on and off using smart assistants.

Got this item today. Been trying out various humidifiers this winter with bad luck so far, and really hoping this slightly more expensive model does the trick. Here are my impressions so far in the first couple hours, and I’ll update this review as time passes if I have additional findings.
The unit is easy to set up and pair with Bluetooth. The warranty registration is straightforward.
It’s super quiet and easy to fill. The display is bright and easy to see, even from across the room. The app is user friendly and intuitive, and I was able to easily set to my target humidity level. I like that I can rotate the nozzle to direct the mist in the direction of my choosing. I like that night mode turns off the bright display. I like that it doesn’t beep at all.
It seems like it will be easy to clean, though not as easy as some round units I’ve tried. Those got sent back for beeping while sleeping, and not having effective enough output to raise humidity levels, respectively. I wish this one had a round tank like those did, but oh well.
I don’t think the humidistat is super accurate, according to my hygrometer, but that’s also somewhat to be expected. It’s a matter then of how far apart the readings are and how consistent they are.
The unit so far says it’s 5-10% more humid than what my hygrometer reads in the same room. Right now for example the base says 40% and the hygrometer about 6 feet away says 33%. This could cause issues because the instructions say that auto mode shuts off when the base reaches 50%. So that could be a problem if there’s a disparity of 10% or more with the base shutting off before the space actually reaches the 40% minimum that I’m aiming for.
That said, I’ll need to give it a few days of use before I can form a solid opinion. I also am in my living room right now, which I expect to have a different performance than my bedroom which is much smaller and closed off from the rest of the house. I expect humidity to collect more efficiently in the bedroom.
If I have to run the unit on manual during the day in the living room to get it in the 40s, that’s fine, as long as I can count on auto in my bedroom while I’m sleeping and maintain humidity in the 40s. I’ll update this review as I observe the unit’s performance in various circumstances.

Been running this at night for several nights now, and overall am pleased. It’s not consistent with my hygrometer, but it’s consistent with itself. Meaning if I want it to go up to 45% in the room, I have to set the unit to 55%. It works well in nighttime mode and is quiet.

Amazon guidelines note: This is a relevant product review and should not be removed, it is not a criticism of the seller. You must register your email for this product to function properly, then they start spamming you.
I just wanted a humidifier. Turns out, when you set up an account for the smart functionality to work, they take the opportunity to add you to mailing lists without asking you to opt in. Their app has no section to opt in or manage such emails. I have now received several different spam emails. One had no unsubscribe link at all, and I told them if they send me any more I would leave negative feedback on Amazon. Well, I received 2 more spams from separate email lists that each required a separate unsubscribe process. So here we are, they are getting the well deserved negative and this is a warning to others to watch out.

An effective humidifier; when placed on “high” it kicks out an impressive plume of mist like a kettle on full boil, and as a result it has sufficient capacity to actually do the job properly, and quietly. The user interface is simple, as is the app, with straightforward and well-designed controls. Biggest issue: the built-in hydrometer is inaccurate. This may be the consequence of it being located in the humidifying unit, and it improves if you have good air circulation, or a fan blowing on it, but it consistently reads 10% higher than other, known-good sensors. The “Alexa” integration is quite basic and a bit hit-and-miss; it consistently can turn the whole unit on and off, but other functions seem not to be recognised 100% (or at all). The only other (minor) niggle is the “nightlight” feels like an afterthought – it’s in an odd location, and a bit of an odd colour as well. Would have been better with RGB or a proper warm white in the middle of the tank. In summary, an effective, quiet unit which has high capacity and can be turned on and off via mobile or Alexa.
