Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is our second LEVOIT humidifier. Our first one was great, but we recently loaned it to a friend who needed a humidifier for her sick puppy, but she accidently broke it because she got water in the electronics when she moved it with water in the basin and obviously fried it. The issue has been addressed with newer models to make it difficult for water to enter the electronics. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CLASSIC 100 2.4L AND THE CLASSIC 200 4L MODELS I figure since we were buying a new humidifier why not upgrade however, I was on the fence about which size, so I purchased the Classic 100 2.4L model and the Classic 200 4L model. Both models have three settings, low, medium, and high. Basically, the differences between the two models aside from the obvious amount of water that can be stored in the basin is the fact that the Classic 100 2.4L model has a white LED light that lights up the colored water basin and the Classic 200 4L model allows individuals to use aroma therapy oil. Additionally, the Classic 200 4L model is marketed for larger rooms whereas the Classic 100 2.4L is marketed for slightly smaller rooms. As I mentioned we purchased and tried both models for one evening. Both models are perfectly quiet and both models visually expel the same amount of humidity cloud on high mode. The Classic 100 2.4L model only lasted a few hours on high mode whereas the Classic 200 4L model lasted about eight hours on high mode. WHY WE CHOSE THE SELECTED MODEL Our decision to purchase is not about a night light or the ability to diffuse aroma therapy oil. We chose the Classic 200 4L model because of run time and ability to put humidity back in the environment. Even if you have a smaller room, I suggest going with the Classic 200 4L model. You’re not going to notice the difference in humidity between the two models because they are small non-commercial humidifiers. You could check the humidity level with a humidity tester, but I surmise there will be little to no difference between the two models. The Classic 200 4L model will provide longer run time and you will be happier for taking this advice. I only suggest going with the Classic 100 2.4L model is if space is an issue. CLEANING Humidifiers do not smell! Like anything, clothes, dishes etc. you need to clean them. If you don’t, chances are they too will start to smell at some point. It’s a simple process to clean a humidifier. I put a couple drops of dish detergent in the water basin and put the lid back on and shake for a few moments, and then empty the soapy contents and rinse until all the soap suds are gone. I wipe down the water basin holder. NOTE: never submerge anything electrical in water because it’s dangerous especially if it is plugged in – so unplug when cleaning. Let everything dry and it will be ready for use when you come back to it. I clean our humidifier after each use because it only takes a few moments to clean it. If you feel a need to, follow the cleaning instructions that accompany the humidifier. Whatever works best for you. ****** Please let me know if this review was helpful by clicking the “Helpful” button below***** THANK YOU!
