Dreo - Smart Humidifier 524S 6L

I have a dreo too. It’s fine, wouldn’t mind if I found something better 

I got the Dreo

I use the humidifier from DREO. I love it! Comes with an app and fairly easy to clean. The biggest thing I’ve found is was you have to use distilled water (or from my Brita in my case). Also I’m new to the harp, should we be using humidifiers in the winter to keep them safe??

Dreo. I love it.

I have a dreo humidifier, I like it. I did have it leak once but after some research I think it was user error.

I bought a nice one on Amazon this year. The brand is "Dreo". Everything on them comes a part super easy for cleaning. I like it a lot so far.

I have had a Dreo 6L for a few years now and it works well. Very quiet. My house isnt overly dry so the 6L tank lasts a while. The hygrometer is fairly accurate so the auto setting works well - it won't turn your room into a steam room unless your settings are wrong

I have a small apartment with a combined l.r./kitchen and then a bedroom with the bathroom off the bedroom. I have a Dreo 6L. It's rated for a space much bigger than what I have. But I don't care. It is a warm/cool mist machine. I use warm mist. I like it. Because I have a deviated septum, I keep it at 65%. You can google adequate humidity for humans. If it's too dry, my left nostril clogs. With the humidifier I can breath clearly through both nostrils. I keep the machine next to my desk. I bought the demineralization filters that made for the Dreo. It clicks directly into where the water is filtered. It lasts for 40 gallons. I use a 1/2 gallon pitcher to refill. So I printed a sheet of paper with numbers and every time I refill it I x off a number so I know when to change it. I even run it in the summer because air conditioning removes moisture from the room (a/c is a dehumidifier) and makes the air dry. It uses a lot less in the summer. Now that it's cold and dry I am refilling a lot more. I don't get any white film on furniture. The machine stays fairly clean. For tight areas I use a qtip with a paper towel to wipe. All humidifiers I've had over my lifetime have hard to clean areas.

I’ve noticed it depends on the machine, how much vapor it produces, and how high you run it. I had a Honeywell humidifier that was an absolute beast and produced tons of vapor even on the lowest setting, and that’s when the dust was the worst. I now have two Dreo humidifiers that have integrated hygrometers and modulate the vapor based on the RH. I haven’t had a dust issue with those.

I’ve been using a dreo cool mist smart humidifier for a couple years and I really like it. The directions do say it can be used with tap water but it works much better with distilled water. I’ve been using distilled water and I only have to clean it once per week with a quick rinse with vinegar. No scale build up and no mold. It still looks brand new. I got tired of buying distilled water so I did buy a water distiller. It’s super easy to make distilled water and I can store a week’s worth in glass jars and then just fill the humidifier up as needed. Otherwise I would have to buy 10 gallons of distilled water per week. The Dreo humidifier is nice because it measures the humidity in the room and turns off when it is optimal so I don’t have to think about it. It also tells me when to change the cartridge.
