LEVOIT - OasisMist 600S

Mineral Dust is very bad for you to breath and yes it will leave white dust all over your furniture. It's also bad for the baby of course and it also makes makes it harder to clean your humidifier because it leaves those mineral deposits in the bottom of the humidifier. I use distilled in my Levoit OasisMist 450S and 600S and they have been every easy to keep clean. For a mist Humidifier you absolutely have to use distilled. $1.27 a gallon at Walmart for the Great Value brand. If you want to use hard water you will need a humidifier with a wick filter. The only problem with those is the filters are expensive and they don't last very long. Your third option is to buy a machine that makes Reverse Osmosis Water that you can then use in your humidifier. There is no secret sauce humidifier that is going to do everything and cheaply. It cost money no matter which route you go. You will either be buying water or buying wick filters.   For my mist Humidifier for the bedroom I don't run it all the time. Mostly at night and I set it to the lowest possible humidity of 40%.

Legit OasisMist works excellently.

Had a few LEVOIT OasisMist that worked pretty well. The warm mist feature is nice, but had to constantly get distilled water to avoid white mineral dust covering everything as it's ultrasonic. This year, just picked up LEVOIT Sprout as it's evaporative so can use tap water. Most evaporative models I've researched have mold problems, specifically in the unserviceable fan assembly as their designs have the fan after the wick, pulling moist air through. Sprout's design has the fan *before* the wick so it *pushes* the moist air out instead. So far so good.

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.

Just got the 6 L top fill levoit top fill. It’s quiet ! Love it. No dropping noises like the Honeywell I got and returned prior.

It’s a little pricey, but I love the Levoit brand for my sunroom (and snake room). https://a.co/d/ic7jgmC

We have a cool mist humidifier in our daughter’s room. It definitely makes a difference. My recommendation, get one you can clean easily and that you can use essential oils in. The brand we have for her is Levoit, can be bought on amazon. We previously had the Fridababy one and it was a pain to clean so I wouldn’t recommend that one. For us in our room, we have a Leviot cool and warm mist humidifier that automatically adjust to the air…10/10. We only use purified water in our humidifiers.

There is no such thing as a maintenance-free humidifier, whether it’s evaporative, ultrasonic, or even steam, they all require regular cleaning or regular changing of filters (or sometimes both). Steam is less prone to mold, but also super hot, and is prone to scale buildup which still requires cleaning. I would suggest giving your current unit a thorough clean first to see if that solves the issue. We have a 6L LEVOIT (ultrasonic/cool mist) humidifier, and I check ours every couple of weeks. If I see the mold, wipe the affected areas down with vinegar and rinse. Hydrogen peroxide 3% works well if I really want to feel thorough. We also make sure to change out the filter as recommended or more often (you can buy them in bulk). We also run two Vornado evaporative humidifiers on the first floor of the house. Let me tell you, the wicks in those develop considerable mold, and we change them out once a month or sometimes more often. Regardless of humidifier the concept is the same. You have to take care of them no matter what you buy.

Yeah, I have 6L Levoit and it's a pain in the ass to clean. I do it once a week.

I have a Levoit top fill humidifier. It’s super quiet with an adjustable knob for humidity levels. I used the filtered water on my fridge (personal preference) but think it would be fairly easy to clean periodically if tap water was used.
