"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."

"My core instant tent went through damn near hurricane storms and not even a drip."
"Love our 12 man core tent. We’ve had it since 2019 and it’s gone on a bunch of trips with kids and dogs."
"one has been with me since 2012 and still works great."

"What I like about the sprout is that it doesn't let the wick sit in the water (the water is fed in slowly from the top), and it has a dry out mode so it shouldn't mold as easily. ... not worrying about mold"
"I just bought one of these and am so excited to stop having a stupid plastic one that would be infinitely easier to clean if they spent 63 more cents on plastic for the mold"
"Sprout's design has the fan *before* the wick so it *pushes* the moist air out instead. So far so good."

"This one is definitely only going to work for my bedroom, while sleeping, but that is my main goal for now since I'm having a sore throat in the AM. ... it solved my issues which were due to dryness during sleep, so I'm happy overall. ... it was enough to help my symptoms. ... I still ended up feeling like it was worth it to me, since I did feel better!"
"Lately at night the humidity in my bedroom is 20-25% with my Levoit humidifier next to my bed. ... Do laundry and it'll jump to 60-70% for the night."
"I didn’t find it too noisy at all, especially on the night/low setting. But, I do like to sleep with white noise so to me this type of noise isn’t too bothersome in general."

"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"

"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."
"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"

"My small Levoit basically does nothing to change the whole home humidity."
"That being said it doesn't heavily humidify an area, really better for one room like your bedroom or a nursery (which to be fair is how it is marketed). ... A bit pricy to be sure for how little coverage you get ... It doesn’t make a huge difference in the humidity levels but it was enough to help my symptoms. ... But yeah, it takes a while to raise the humidity and the overall raise isn’t that great."

"Importantly I want the replacement filters to be cheap. Rabbitair is a ripoff. 120$ for thin filters."

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? ->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 have a levoit with a hygrometer and it has lots of bad reviews specifically for that white dust
r/AirQuality • Just found out that this is the humidifier I’ve been using to help me breathe after sinus surgery… ->I second Levoit. All 4 of my humidifiers are Levoit
r/IndoorPlants • Humidifier Recommendations? ->I’ve been using a Y&O steam humidifier, and I honestly love that it doesn’t use a filter. It boils the water first, cools the steam down, and then releases clean mist, so I don’t have to worry about bacteria or mold. I used to have an Levoit cold-evaporative humidifier, but its filter was always damp and would get moldy if I didn’t replace it fast enough, which ended up causing me some respiratory issues.
r/BuyItForLife • Best HUMIDIFIER you'll recommend that really works well in long-term use? ->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.
