Updated review
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.
