"The cats are finally not terrified of it ... I can set it to quiet mode where it is barely audible ... Even quiet mode picks everything up just fine."
"I have that unit and absolutely love it for its cooling power to noise output."
"Die midea hat aber einen Inverter und der ist viel leiser als der herkömmliche Kompressor in Monoblock Geräten. ... während du neben der midea schlafen kannst"

"Carepod. Easy to clean ... you can literally boil most of the pieces ... we just use rubbing alcohol on the part you can't remove. So easy."
"Very easy to clean. ... Just wash the wand and the water reservoir and lid can go in the dish washer. ... Also boils on stove to disinfect!"
"you don’t need to do the whole boiling to clean thing if you have a dishwasher, the two removable components are dishwasher safe! ... easiest and cleanest humidifier i’ve ever had in my life."

"I much prefer the Carepod. In my experience, the Canopy doesn’t release as much moisture as I’d like ... it runs continuously, putting out moisture all day/night until the water runs out"
"Carepods are also very strong, like anything above the lowest setting is usually too strong unless someone is really congested."

"3 months of constant use and the screen blackout on me. ... others have similar complaints of durration so i'd say no ... was playing rivals then suddenly the monitor turned off. after unplugging it waiting a while i was able to power it but the display won't show nor light up but the sound is working. ... looking into this there have been numerous complaints about the longevity of the device. ... FUCK NO, GO OLED! just not this one"
"I wouldn't count on JBL for longevity personally. ... Stinks to have to replace that that soon tho 2 years is a joke. ... longevity in home theater systems isn't my first place I'd give them points."
"battery died just months after warranty expired."

"A note of caution: ultrasonic humidifiers like this atomize *everything* in the water, including any bacteria and minerals. The droplets are microscopic (in the nanometer(!) range), and so can penetrate deep into your lungs. If you're using an ultrasonic mister, you should be using distilled water, or, ideally, deionized. They recommend washing it every few days too. (Most of the parts can go in the dishwasher.) And don't leave water in the mister reservoir when you're not using it. ... As an example of how they can vaporize (bad) stuff other than water, when I first filled the Levoit mister, I poured in water from a gallon jug of distilled water that I had, but I forgot that I had added table salt to the water for flushing out my sinuses. The water was as salty as seawater, and the mist it made created a white fog in the room that left a white deposit on tables and the stereo and everyplace where it landed. Breathing sodium chloride probably isn't too bad for you, but if you are seeing "white dust" after adding hard water, you are probably breathing calcium sulfate deep into your lungs, and that is probably not good at all. RTFM and follow the instructions! ... Bacteria and minerals, both, and the microscopic droplets carry both deep into your lungs."
"The carepod doesn’t have a filter need, but it requires distilled water, and I cannot stand the idea of buying water and using over 1 gallon of it per day. ... We returned the carepod. It was too expensive for me to comfortably use tap water and our cheaper humidifier from before either of these two left white dust everywhere when we used tap water."
"However, the distilled water that I'm using in my Levoit mister requires is $2.50 a gallon, and I use about a gallon a day, so the Vicks is cheaper (to say nothing of the inconvenience of hauling about 50 pounds of distilled water home from the grocery store every week). ... I'm putting distilled water in this ultrasonic mister now, and at about a gallon a day, the cost kind of adds up, and more importantly, having to buy and haul in multiple 20-pound plastic jugs to feed the thing every week is kind of a pain."

I have the Carepod, could not imagine an easier to clean humidifier. A+
r/BuyItForLife • Low maintenance humidifier for small room. ->Carepod! It is amazing.
r/BuyItForLife • Best humidifier for low-maintenance, no filters, easy cleaning, and works with tap water? ->We have the mini and use it for bedrooms. Generally have to fill it every day because it doesn’t hold much water but it is SO easy to keep clean and only have to clean 1/3 as often
r/BuyItForLife • Best humidifier for low-maintenance, no filters, easy cleaning, and works with tap water? ->Carepod. Easy to clean, you can literally boil most of the pieces and we just use rubbing alcohol on the part you can't remove. So easy.
r/NewParents • Recommendations for a humidifier ->We love our Carepod. It is easy to clean and works flawlessly. That said, always use filtered water in it or any other humidifier to extent its life.
r/BuyItForLife • Best humidifier recommendations? ->Hi, I’ve owned both the Canopy and the Carepod humidifiers, and I much prefer the Carepod. In my experience, the Canopy doesn’t release as much moisture as I’d like, and I’m not a fan of their subscription model for the filters. I’ve been using the Carepod for about two months now and have been pretty happy with it. It’s very easy to clean, but the only downside is that it doesn’t have a humidity sensor, so it runs continuously, putting out moisture all day/night until the water runs out. If you’re in between the two the carepod is the way to go.
r/Buyingforbaby • dishwasher safe humidifier ->Carepod. I have two of the minis and we’ve had them for 3 years, they market themselves easy to clean (they are) they are Filter-Free Easy Clean - Only 3 Washable Parts to Clean, Auto Shut-off
r/BuyItForLife • Best humidifier for low-maintenance, no filters, easy cleaning, and works with tap water? ->I vote for carepod. I’ve had the two smaller sizes and both work well. I use the smaller plastic one on the bedside table and the slightly larger stainless steel one I had across the room when sleeping because it was so strong (this is different times btw, I never needed both!). I’ve had canopy- and it did get moldy. Maybe I should have washed it more than monthly when the new filters came though. Carepods are sooo easy to take apart and clean, every part is cleanable. Carepods are also very strong, like anything above the lowest setting is usually too strong unless someone is really congested.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Best humidifier for bedroom? ->I’ll take the opposite side. I’m team canopy. Washes great in the dishwasher, but frequent washing isn’t really an issue bc the fan runs until the well is dry to avoid mold/mildew. Tried the carepod and hated how large and bulky it was (looked like a crock pot) and hated that you had to refill it when it was still like 1/3 full because of how it was designed. And the arm that draws the water up felt really fragile and easily broken (which I’ve subsequently seen comments on). It went back after one use, and we’ve been happy canopy users for about two years now.
r/Buyingforbaby • dishwasher safe humidifier ->Sorry, edited to read I returned the carepod :)
r/Buyingforbaby • dishwasher safe humidifier ->Carepod, easiest to clean
r/BuyItForLife • I'm looking for a humidifier for my small bedroom. I'm willing to pay more for ease of use and best quality. ->I have the carepod and it is by far the best humidifier i’ve ever had. The only plastic part that touches the water is the arm that hangs inside and it is super easy to clean. The stainless steel bucket and inside lid can go in the dishwasher which is awesome.
