Dreo - Smart Humidifier 717S

I have 2 dreoo 8l and its so cold out now that they are not going above 40% running on high on a 800 sf apt.

I bought a Canopy, without realizing how gamed the marketing is in this sector. It was essentially a paper filter tower dipped in a reservior of water with a computer fan drawing air through the filter. It worked, but the construction was dead simple for being over $200. And required a new filter every few weeks. And of course, it had a noticeable cooling effect. Then, I bought a Levoit with warm mist option. It had a design flaw where it was very easy to water log the boiler, which caused flooding. I then tried a Dreo and so far so good. It also has a heat option.

I was very very happy with the Boneco S450 for about 9 years. It uses actual boiled steam and a demineralization pad which bobs around the boiler plate. I would use Boneco cleaner which is essentially powdered CLR each year before storage. Then I went to replace it. It still worked, but I just wanted a refresh. And found it was removed from the U.S. market. So, it being long in the tooth, I decided to disontinue use and keep it dry in storage as a backup. After several false starts, returns, and wasted money, I settled on the Dreo 8 liter. It is high capacity, has an available demineralization cartridge, and, although a very similar design as the Levoit, is not prone to becoming water logged and leaking upon startup. I have never had the Dreo leak. It is also wifi capable.

Any "mist" model will do this. It's suspending water droplets in the air via ultrasonic excitement, which is not the same thing as steam. "warm mist" is close to steam. Honeywell does make a steam model. I haven't had any issues with the Dreo since leaving it on level 1 warm mist.

I have Dreo humidifiers, and my plants love them. I have both the 6L and 8L models. I run them at 65% humidity, and they run for 12+ hours without running out of water. I would recommend staying away from no-name humidifiers. I fell into that trap last year and bought several inexpensive ones online. Every single one failed within the year, and began leaving puddles where they were sitting. The other issue with cheap humidifiers is that they often can be cleaned properly, which will eventually lead to mold issues in the unit, if they last that long.

If you want a warm mist humidifier than I really like the new DREO 2-gallon (8L) humidifier. I can change the setting on my phone with the app, it really is a warm mist and holds 2 gallons of water, so I don't worry about running out when I am in the office. I have it on the auto setting and haven't had any issues. This does need to be cleaned regularly with vinegar due to scaling from minerals in the water. If you don't want or need the warm mist that I like the vornado Evaporative Humidifier evap 40. It works, holds 2 gallons of water. Just change the wick filter every few weeks and I am good to go.

I got the DREO 8L cool & warm mist humidifier for my bedroom. I like the near 2-gallon tank. I set mine to auto and so far, it is working well. I like the app. I also have a FOHERE cool & warm mist humidifier. it has a 6L tank, no app but it's also doing a good job in my at home office. I set it on auto and just keep water in it. Hope this helps. I got mine from Amazon.

Shit. Help a brother out. What do you think of this one? https://a.co/d/aJ0oFfT Just started using it. Has made a huge impact but don’t want to end up breathing mold in a few weeks.

Last month I bought both a levoit and a dreo. What really annoys me is that there seems to be no device that does neither a sound nor a bright light at startup which makes it really difficult to use automations when used in the bedroom. Apart from that I can recommend both as both integrations do their job.

With my dreo you can turn off the ambient light too. But if you power it off and on again, it lights up for a second, totally blinding everyone in the bedroom. It's not a problem when both are asleep but it's a problem for me since I control the power status with a door sensor.

My Dreo smart humidifier you can turn off both the light and the noise so not sure what you mean

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

I had an issue with my Dreo it was table side maybe 1.5 gallons. I cleaned it at every refill. One night my bedroom fire alarm went off and the bedroom was full of smoke/fog. Pretty scary stuff. I’m in desperate need to get a new brand but am petrified. Woke up this morning, and my nose was so blocked and still is tonight.
