"It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use). ... Takes me 1 minute to clean my Cosori with a nylon brush and Dawn."
"Clean up is a snap all it takes is a little bit of your dish detergent I use Dawn and three tablespoons of baking soda made into a small little paste you cover the inside you cover the. Inside in the rack with it you wait 15 minutes rinse it well with warm water paper towel dry it and it's done."
"Bacon (easy to clean up afterward, bacon comes out perfect.) ... Bacons great because I don't have to clean a bunch of grease off the stove after. Tip: put a slice of bread on the bottom to absorb a lot of the great, that way its even easier to clean at the end."

"never deflates"
"Also pitched it on bare rock using rocks to hold the stakes on a decently breezy night and it was pretty bombproof."

"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"

"I have the Bluetooth/app enabled one in my daughter’s room so that I can set a humidity level and run it on auto. ... And if needed I can shut it off or turn it on in her room without going in at night."
"I like having the option to set the times it runs and the target humidity level"
"I only like the HP02 since it has app control. Anything after HP02 they don’t let you control the heat with the app which sucks"

"My small Levoit basically does nothing to change the whole home humidity."
"I bought a Levoit LV600HH (a hybrid ultrasonic/evaporative, apparently) a couple years ago and found that it didn't change the humidity of the room much at all"
"Lately at night the humidity in my bedroom is 20-25% with my Levoit humidifier next to my bed."

"Unfortunately did not install mine until after the Amazon return window ended and I had collapsed the box. I had emails with them back and forth about the smell, assuming that it was covered under the warranty. They were not very helpful. In fact they were very dismissive and told me to get someone to clean it (almost as expensive as the air conditioner) or clean it myself (which I believe would void the warranty) so I used the wick trick to drain water from the a/c and purchased an extended warranty. ... I don't understand why they would have created an AC that didn't drain. ... My brother has two of them, one of which is full of mold"
"it got full of mold in 6 months ... I tried to remove the casing to clean the mold but it’s just in a really inaccessible spot deep in the cold air vent."
"No mold in tricky spots (yet anyway)"

"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."

"Yeah, I have 6L Levoit and it's a pain in the ass to clean. I do it once a week."
"its filter was always damp and would get moldy if I didn’t replace it fast enough"

"half the time it wouldn’t work (red light of death)"
"Our Levoit was a headache the whole time between frequent cleaning"
We have had the same Levoit for about 4 years now, and run it every day once we start using heat in the house. We like it because all the pieces that touch water come apart and can be cleaned, which we do about once a month. We also bought a distiller, which helps keep the mineral buildup down.
r/BuyItForLife • do all humidifiers suck?? need recs for one that’ll actually survive the winter ->I like Levoit as well.
r/IndoorPlants • Humidifier Recommendations? ->I’ve got a Levoit humidifier too, also live in a super hard water area. I only use distilled water in it to extend its lifespan and avoid having to descale reguarly. I always have distilled water in anyway for some of the more sensitive plants.
r/IndoorPlants • Humidifier Recommendations? ->Legit OasisMist works excellently.
r/Denver • Humidifier for room that actually works ->You should use a cool mist humidifier for baby. We have a levoit and like to a lot. It has an auto shut off feature which is nice. If the air is too dry in the whole house you may want to consider a whole home humidifier
r/NewParents • Dry air is causing baby nosebleeds. Has anyone tried a baby-safe humidifier that actually works? ->You should use a cool mist humidifier. We have a Levoit that works well. But we use it in addition to our whole house humidifier we recently had installed. The whole home humidifier was an investment but worth it
r/NewParents • Humidifiers to help the Baby’s dry skin ->I just got a LEVOIT smart one so I don’t have to manually turn it on and off. AFAIK the only benefit of using distilled water would be less hard water build up inside. I don’t worry about that personally because you can just clean it with distilled white vinegar when the build up gets bad.
r/BuyItForLife • Advice on Humidifier ->I second Levoit. All 4 of my humidifiers are Levoit
r/IndoorPlants • Humidifier Recommendations? ->I have been through 5 humidifiers in the last 3 years, but my Levoit is going strong. I second this recommendation.
r/IndoorPlants • Humidifier Recommendations? ->At that price they won't be BIFL, but you can still get some decent stuff. Here's some options for the small room: [https://hiarthur.com/?share=32b1481c-32d8-49e0-8920-d721a2991666](https://hiarthur.com/?share=32b1481c-32d8-49e0-8920-d721a2991666) And here's some for the big room: [https://hiarthur.com/?share=af627ced-d4a3-4d79-948e-9673beb00d6b](https://hiarthur.com/?share=af627ced-d4a3-4d79-948e-9673beb00d6b) If you want it strictly under 150, you can get the Dreo combo. If you're willing to spend a bit more, get the Levoit - it'll be a big step up.
r/BuyItForLife • Cooling Humidifier recommendations ->I use a Levoit humidifier but I only use it because of my alocasia and lemon tree. My monsteras don’t care about humidity. I mist the leaves every other day just because. My local big box hardware store has huge evaporative humidifiers (much better than ultrasonic because you can use tap water) for $120. They use these wicking filters that are replaceable. It’s designed for a space 2,000 sq ft. That’s what I’ll be buying soon. It’s called Essecks Aircare. Vevor also has a commercial one for about $100. My small Levoit basically does nothing to change the whole home humidity. I have the vent port dumping directly onto my two needy plants. I’d get the Aircare if I was you. A small humidifier is almost $100 anyways.
r/Monstera • What humidifier is everyone using? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
