LEVOIT - LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier

I use a LEVOIT LV600S, which has warm and cool steam. You can run them at the same time which saves on water--I usually have the "cool" at level 2/3 and warm at 1/3. I put some eucalyptus on the essential oil pad and it helps me & my daughter tremendously. The water will run out overnight if you have the warm mist on a high setting. Make sure to use distilled water and always let it dry out during the day, preferably in the sunlight. I also love the Levoit app and how I can use my Alexa device to control the humidifier with my voice.

Levoit LV600S Buy the Costco model (it’s the same as above and cheaper): https://www.costco.com/levoit-smart-hybrid-ultrasonic-warmcool-mist-158g-humidifier.product.4000206868.html

I just purchased this model Levoit LV600S Smart Humidifier and have noticed a considerable difference in my sleep quality over the past 10 days. I always wake up in the middle of the night with dry mouth/nose during the winter and so far this has pretty much stopped those wake ups. It’s able gauge the humidity level and keep it within a set range at night without running out of water.

I own the Levoit and have basically stopped using it / would not buy it again because of cleaning and maintenance. Spending 45 minutes disassembling, cleaning with a tooth brush, and then letting dry on my table every 2 weeks is not what I expected. It’s hard to be BIFL when twice a month I seriously consider taking it out back and giving it the “printer from Office Space” treatment.

Have two of these, clean them once every few weeks but never the whole clean routine they describe. That I do once per season. They have cool mist but you can mix it with warm mist and that seems to stop the tiny white particles I saw with cool mist only types. They are easy to fill, clean, and look nice enough.

i have a levoit with a hygrometer and it has lots of bad reviews specifically for that white dust

Buy a good one, you'll appreciate it. I bought the Levoit LV600S, which I highly, highly recommend.

I don’t have any context for the Carepod models, but I do own the Levoit 6000S and I’ve been really happy with it. I’m so glad I went with the evaporative style instead of ultrasonic.  This will be my third winter using it, and the filters last me the whole season (about 3–4 months. I’m in the south, so I don’t run heat as much as someone up north might). I haven’t had to deal with any mold or funky buildup either, which was a big concern for me when I was shopping too. I think both brands you’re considering are solid though. I just checked. The Humidifiers subreddit has a [post on reputable humidifier brands ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humidifiers/comments/1ffuk7n/humidifiers_complete_product_list_features/)and both Levoit and Carepod are on it. That thread might be worth a look if you’re still deciding.

Not sure I would put any humidifier into the BIFL category, but I’ve had the Levoit 6000S for two years and I’ve been really happy with it. You say you live in a studio apartment though, so it would likely be overkill for you.  If you’re still shopping, the other commenters are right, you need to know the size of your space. Then, you can use the [humidifier comparison tool](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humidifiers/comments/1ffuk7n/humidifiers_complete_product_list_features/), also pinned at the top of the Humidifiers subreddit to sort by models that match your size and space.
