Portable Small Cool Mist Humidifiers 250ML - USB Desktop Humidifier for Plants, Office, Car, Baby Room with Auto Shut Off & Night Light - Quiet Mini Humidifier (White)

UPDATE REVIEW: Seller quickly sent a new humidifier and provided instruction for proper use. I was very impressed with their responsiveness and help. I gave the second one a go, and unfortunately it still pooled water heavily, but I found this to be only on the high setting. I now use the high setting only for shorter periods of time and the lower setting for lengthier uses. Lower setting works great. First review: I am not very impressed. The pros are that it is very easy to use and clean and fits great in a car cup holder. What sucked is that it soaks whatever surface it is on. The water basically pools around it rather than diffuses into the air. I ruined a book and papers sitting on the nightstand that was near it. And I didn’t notice any difference in the dryness of air. I was also bummed that you can’t use essential oils with this. I read reviews stating it had this feature…obviously I should not rely on reviews for function but I was still let down. Overall, not worth it.

May sound odd but its true. I buy these things with the idea in mind that they will last a season, if that and I would be happy with it. Put in distilled water they say, well, at 3 bucks a gallon, and lets say I use 5 of them a week, thats 15 bucks a week, 60 bucks a month, @ 200 dollars a year. What am I getting at? I use tap water, so its not exactly great for the Humidifier to use, gunks up the works. But this guy is powering through. I would recommend this 100 times over for anyone looking for one.

This humidifier is a winter MUST HAVE. Ours is constantly running and makes a huge difference in the quality of sleep we are getting. The top of the machine is fairly easy to clean, but the only issue comes from trying to clean the base pan, this proves to be more challenging. We clean ours at the end of each month, so other than that, the machine is a staple in our home throughout the rest of the month. Very quite and easy to adjust based on the flow your home needs.

I thought it could be used without keeping it plugged in.

I purchased the HURON model. Best part of this humidifier is the top fill concept. In theory its nice to fill from the top. You can refill the unit with the lid on or by remicing the lid. I found that the lid must be removed to fill. You need to pour very slowly because the slot (opening) in the lid isnt big enough and water spills over. Also, the lid does not seat very secure or snug. There is nothing to make sure the lid stays on. A simple bump and the lid falls off and water is everywhere. Make sure you have your unit on a very stable table away from possible or potential accidental bumps otherwise even a slight bump to the table is enough for the humidifier to spill. It is small even for a bedroom. I was filling my unit twice a day. The amount of mist released on the lowest setting is not enough to properly moisterize/humidify the air. I was barely able to get the humidity level up to 35% on the highest setting. When I first got the humidifier I put it on the lowest setting which took a full week to get the humidity level even close to 30% and wasnt enough to sustain the humidity level. I needed to adjust it to the highest output mist level but then I was refilling the tank twice a day. My bedroom, for reference, is 97 x 14 feet. The mist spout does not rotate and therefore the direction of the mist cannot be adjusted. The location of the spout is at an odd angle. This really limits not only where I can place the unit in my bedroom but the direction of the mist to keep it from landing on sensitive surfaces. In order to position the direction of the mist I needed to rotate the entire unit. I was not able to position the direction of the mist spout. The display panel is very minimal which is what I wanted but what I didnt realize is just how minimal it is. There is no read out per say. All the controls are color coded. The mist level is determined by the brightness of the display light. The type of setting is determined by different colors (red, white, blue). It is challenging to feel confident that the settings are what I want because the difference in light level between the various mist levels is negligent. Its hard to see the difference between low, medium, or high mist level. A reference card is included with the code key for what the various light intensity levels and colors mean. I found I needed to keep rechecking. The overall feel of the unit seems flimsy and cheaply made. Giving me hesitancy as to whether it could last a full winter season. I live in the more northern climate where we are in a deep freeze for 3 out of the 5 winter months furnaces/heating units running full on 24 hrs a day. Daily temps barely above 20 degrees. This makes the air very dry and humidifiers a necessity. I wish I could like this humidifier because in concept it has potential. But it just falls short on too many features for me. I ended up getting something different. I wasnt able to return this because I didnt respond within the return policy window. But hopefully if I keep this unit properly stored I can use it as a back up for just incase moments.

I love this humidifier because it is relatively easy to clean… except for this one part that leads up to the mist chamber (not sure what it is actually called). The rest of this humidifier is easy to take apart and clean… but this part… where I have had mold and other stuff grow despite my regular cleanings, does not come apart easily. It is an absolute nightmare to get off, IF you can even get it off. The other flaw this humidifier has is that after a year or so, when you wash it and let it dry, it doesn’t always work immediately. There have been times where I can’t use it for a couple days because it just won’t run. This is my second of these humidifiers because when I contacted the company about the issue mentioned above they told me it was because something got wet inside that wasn’t supposed to. And that was it. No further help. Normally that would turn me off from a company and their product, but I use a humidifier every night because of my sinuses and the two humidifiers I’ve owned by this company have lasted for upwards of 4-5 years compared to my previous ones that maybe lasted 6 months because I couldn’t clean all the parts well enough because of how they were built.

I have three of these units. Unfortunately, two of them stopped working but customer service is great and they were able to replace them outside the return window. The new ones are working well and will hopefully last longer! If not for that, these are handy. I’ve travelled with them too which helps since hotels are so dry.

Product stopped working with in 60 days of use. Junk!!

I purchased this to help my plants in our very dry and warm second bedroom. Ive owned and operated this for a few days now, so youre getting my initial thoughts. Im undecided but have a feeling I will end up keeping it. Hence why I took away a star. 3 stars felt too harsh considering what I ended up with. First, beware! I was extremely disappointed to realize after receiving the humidifier that most of the reviews are for a DIFFERENT humidifier. Check peoples photos! And not all reviews make sense for what is advertised. I guess I missed that. Some Amazon sellers do this thing where they update their listing to be a different product so the reviews stay and it sells better due to higher product ratings, even though its a completely different product. Some more thoughts: - Smaller than I expected, but I guess I got what I paid for. - It works well, is completely silent, but because its so small, the water in the tank only lasts overnight. The constant refill factor might get annoying. - I was also a little annoyed that it has a usb plug with no adapter to plug it into the wall - that you have to supply yourself. I must have missed that in the product description. Had to rearrange the plugs in this area of my home to accommodate for this. - Im happy with the flow of mist, and the different settings, though the instructions werent clear (someone answered a question about this that is super accurate! Check the question section). - Im wondering if I shouldnt have it so close to my plants? My dracaena leaves got super droopy. They were droopy before using the humidifier, but I think theyre now oversaturated with moisture and Im not sure how to remedy it. My other surfaces are not exactly mist-friendly (wood/particle board). Ill give it a little more time to observe the longer term effects on my plants.

Works very well! Travels great!
