MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier - Quiet Air Humidifier for Bedroom, Nursery, Office, & Indoor Plants - Lasts Up To 25 Hours

This humidifier has been great so far. It’s easy to set up, runs very quietly, and maintains a comfortable humidity level in the room. The mist output is consistent, and it helps especially during dry seasons. Cleaning is fairly simple as well. Overall, a solid and reliable product.

I purchased a humidifier because the Northern air gets so dry, and then running heaters in the winter time, compounds the matter even worse. Did you know that experts have proven that, if the air gets too dry, you can get sick easier? I feel so much better when I humidify the air, I breath easier, and sleep easier as well. Plus, if the air gets too dry, you can also shock yourself on everything in your home, thats usually an indicator that your humidity is bellow 30%. I also purchased a humidity meter from the acurite brand, as I like to know where my humidity levels are at all times. Just for reference, if you can keep your humidity levels around 40% to 50% MAX, you will live happier. I have owned this humidifier for 2-years now, and I can tell you right now, that longevity is pretty good so far. I bought this for large rooms, so that I have the output if necessary. The resovoir holds up to 1-gallon of water, and its really easy to fill. Just lift the container off the base, flip it over, remove the fill cap, fill all the way up, replace cap, put container back down onto base. On the first use, you will see lots of bubbles, while the water fills up the base resovoir where the transducer is located, that creates the ultra sonic vaporization. This unit comes with two nozzles. The directional nozzle, and the 2-way nozzle. Use the directional nozzle when placing this unit near a wall, you obviously don't want to shoot water vapor into your wall. When used in an open space where there is at least 3 feet all around the unit, use the 2-way nozzle to get higher flow. Additionally, the on/off knob also controls the flow amount. Depending on how bad the humidity is, use 50% to 75% flow, for small rooms. For use in large rooms, maintain 100% flow unless water begins to form around the unit and surface it is on, then back off on the flow. This is why I highly recommend the use of a humidity meter. I like being able to know where my humidity is at all times. I do not want to exceed 50%, as it will get far too humid. But I also don't want to drop bellow 30%, and would rather keep it at a happy 40% medium. Its also nice having the meter cause in the summer time, we don't want humidity, so I can pay attention to what the humidity is doing, while I run the 2-AC units. Also, this unit has a LED light mode, up to three colors can be chosen, and can be turned on by pressing the touch sensor button, just above the flow control knob. I do wish that the max flow had a higher rate then it does, and a higher push into the air. However, for what it does do, I am pretty happy with it. This unit is also fairly easy to clean as well. I use filtered water from a Britta jug, so the deposits don't get too bad. If you use tap water, you will only breath disgusting water vapor, and will lesson the life of your unit, making cleaning more difficult. Using filtered water, I only really need to do a rinsing once a week, and a cleaning of the transducer, with the included brush. And a final cleaning with 1-cup distilled white vinegar with mostly water solution, before putting up for storage. Keep the unit clean and you should have no problems. I highly recommend it, 5-STARS! UPDATE Jan 7th 2019! I wanted to give everybody an update on how this humidifier is doing. It is now 3-years old, and it is still working! I know, hard to believe, when we know how quickly things die these days due to planned obsolescence. I have the humidifier running right now infact, as after the rains stopped again, the humidity went down to 34%, and I decided to start humidifying. The unit is still in pretty good condition, I do have some discoloration within the transducer area due to wear, I don't think much can be done about that besides a straight vinegar cleaning. Speaking of which, I have run a 1-cup vinegar to full tank of water in the tank to clean it out. I just let it sit for 30-minutes, and then cleaned it out. Now, if the deposits that form that yellow gooyness is really bad, the vinegar treatment will at least break it up to make it loose its bond, then you can fish a paper towel through inside the hole to clean off the bottom inside of the tank. Again I can't stress enough how important it is to use filtered water. Companies advertisements always lie to consumers making them think they can use tap water. Sure, but if your tap water is hard water like ours, it will dirty up your humidifier so darn fast, you'll be cleaning it every day! At least filtered water, such as that from a Britta jug container, will at least extend your cleaning times to once per week, and then at least 1 or 2 vinegar cleanings per year of use. Cleaning is important with this product for your health, as you want to breath clean moisture in the air, but don't cause yourself unnecessary labor by using tap water please. The humidifier is still able to push out its full power as it did in the first 2-years of use. One thing I've noticed over the years is, the colder the water is, the longer it takes to get going. We keep our Britta jug in the fridge, cause I don't like to drink room temperature water, and when the freshly cold water runs in the machine, it takes time for it to build up the moisture vapor till its going full strength. But this machine does a really good job in bringing up the humidity in the room. One of the things I like about it as well, is that its efficient on power consumption. Since were using a lot of electricity running space heaters, since its winter and all, I am grateful for the low consumption of the unit. Anytime you have a heating device, it uses a lot of power. Its just one of the reasons why I don't like steam based humidifiers, cause your running elements in there that draw a lot of power. And cold running humidifiers, use transducers, which generate ultrasonic vibrations, which vaporizes the water instead, while a onboard fan, pushes the vapor out. I still highly recommend this humidifier and I keep the rating at 5 out of 5!

A further note: The original review I wrote was in February of 2019. After two winters of excellent results, my humidifier stopped producing vapor when I went to fire it up again this fall. I contacted the Pure Enrichment company, and they back their product. They could have asked me to return it, but they didn't. They are sending me a new one, and I am beyond delighted. My original review was four stars because I didn't know how durable the product would be. Given the excellent customer service and follow-through, I've changed my review to five stars. Here's what I said originally: _____________________________________________________________________________________________ January air is horrible, and by February my sinuses were clogged with dried up crap I couldn't remove without a very disgusting nosebleed occurring. I did a quick Google search and learned that I need a humidifier in the bedroom at night. I found this one on a lightning deal for ten dollars off, and it works. I am terrible with assembling things, but I thought I should at least try to put it together myself before I asked anybody to help me with it. I looked at the little brochure, looked at the humidifier...seriously? That's it? Two parts plus a little disc that goes in the top of the neck to let me guide the steam in my direction. Couldn't believe it. Done. There is a downside that applies to every single humidifier, not just this one: if you have asthma, there will be a problem. My asthma is mild and isn't irritated by having this thing in the room, but when I tried standing over it to inhale the steam faster for quicker relief, my lungs started whistling and I had to back off. But during fire season, I am delighted to have it, because the outside air gets in, no matter how much we try to seal it off. It's important to know that you have to clean it. It's not complicated, just vinegar water will do it (top chamber only), but if you let it sit over the summer and don't clean it up, you will have way more problems when you use it again than you would if you didn't have it at all. There's a nightlight feature that makes the upper half glow blue in the night. You can turn the nightlight off, and when we go to bed we do because it's more light in the room than we want, but it's surprisingly pretty. When the nightlight is off, the little button that tells you if it's off or on still glows. When you start to run out of water, the button starts to blink red. If you sleep through it, it will shut itself off when there's no more water at all. The only problem is that it's very cumbersome to refill. The base usually still has about an inch of water standing in it once the top chamber is empty, and so when you pick it up, it drips all over the place. I have taken to keeping a towel nearby, and I don't even try to pick it up until I have the towel in one hand, ready to slide under the top chamber when I remove it. To refill, the unit is said to fit in most standard sinks, and it goes just fine in ours. You need two hands, one to keep it from falling over and one to turn the faucet. Then close it tightly, turn it right side up to get rid of most of the water that's accumulated outside while you were filling it (this seems unavoidable), and slap that same towel over it when you are ready to step away from the sink. Another quick change from the towel to the base; now it's ready to turn on. They say not to leave standing water in it for long, but sometimes I leave water in there for a few hours and it doesn't appear to create mold or other health problems. Ox, the oversized beagle pup, believed it was a steam-breathing monster and barked at it for two days. I have used it for about a month, so I cannot speak to long term durability. Right now I'll tell you, I'd buy it again for what I paid for it in a heartbeat.

Ive had this for over a year and I absolutely love this humidifier. I bought it for my office, and it has made a huge difference in a super dry work environment, especially during winter. It’s compact, but the tank is big enough that a full fill actually lasts me the entire workday, which I didn’t expect at all. I like taking short breaks and letting the mist hit my face to rehydrate my skin and clear up my nose after staring at multiple monitors all day. It’s super soft to inhale and don’t make me cough like other humidifiers. It’s quiet, easy to use, and doesn’t feel flimsy. I liked it so much that I ended up buying one for my wife’s office too. Simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s super easy to clean too.. not a lot of parts, so you can rinse and use small star cleaners to brush off any debris or stains.

I am new to humidifiers....I moved to the midwest a couple years ago from Florida and never needed one before. I was feeling terrible all of the time during the winter. I could barely breathe, wheezing constantly with horrible allergies, waking up in the middle of the night because my wheezing was so bad. I finally was like, "hey, maybe a humidifier thing will help???" and ordered this on Amazon because it's the best seller and looks nice. Also, didn't want to invest too much into something when I had no idea how it would affect me and this is only $40. Literally in one night I felt like a new person.....my allergies stopped, my wheezing stopped, I could start breathing again like a normal person. I barely even need to take my allergy medicine anymore. Fast forward 6 months later and my asthma and allergies are virtually gone, I've lost 30 pounds because I have the health and energy to move and breathe. My lips used to be so bloody and chapped I could barely move my mouth...now I don't even need chapstick. I felt so stupid that I didn't get this the previous winter. I wish someone told me how important having one of these is!!! A few months later I went ahead and bought another one because I was sick of moving it from room to room. NOW - if knowing what I know now, would I still get this particular model? I'm not sure. I have been looking to possibly upgrade, although since summer is approaching I'm going to wait. I was looking at this Everlasting Comfort Ultrasonic Humidifier (6L) -Essential Oil Tray, High Mist Output, Adjustable Knob and 360 Deg. Nozzles. Ultra Quiet, Auto Shut Off, Night Light, Large Capacity Vaporizer , which is Amazon's choice and has better reviews than this one. It seems to have some cool features, like auto-shut off, lasts longer, and covers a bigger area (although the tank size appears to be the same?). However, I'm not sure how much of the extra price on that is because of the essential oil tray, which I don't care about at all. CONS: It can definitely get things wet, although I read that for the more expensive machine too. On high (which I use) it will run out in about 8 hours. I have to top it off before falling asleep. It has no auto-shut off, so it will just keep blinking red indefinitely when it runs out. Some people have complained that you can't turn off the blue power light....honestly, I don't care about those kinds of things at all. I actually love the light, and having the light on the humidifier on consistently. I have also read some people having issues with bacteria....I haven't had that probably yet, thankfully, but I do make sure to have it filled and running 24/7 and not have water just sitting around. I do think it would be nice if it were easier to clean, but for $40 (and sometimes it goes on sale) I have to say I think I'd be okay if I had to replace it in a year or two for that price. I have had one for 6 months and one for 2 and both are fine so far. Honestly, I am just really thrilled with how much this has helped me. I have become probably too dependent on it! When I go anywhere I miss it. If it runs out when I'm asleep I wake up wheezing. Oh, also...just a tip. I used to have EXTREME dry eye, and instead of buying an extremely expensive eye drop prescription that my doctor gave me, I just used this along with fish oil capsules and my eyes are near perfect now. Go to to the store and buy fish oil capsules (I highly recommend non-burp because they are coated and don't stink) and religiously take the maximum every day. It will dramatically help with your dry eye. Great product! Totally worth the $40.

I must say I was not sure I was going to like this unit but I gave it a try and I LOVE IT. I am not using it for health reasons at the moment however I will be getting another one for my bedroom soon. I am actually using it to raise the humidity level in my sunroom for my orchid plants and for the last 2 weeks I have been keeping the level around 55% which is perfect for my plants. Not only are they thriving at this level but the sunroom is connected to the kitchen and with the higher humidity level I feel so much better when I am in that room. That being said I will be getting another one soon for my bedroom now that I see how truly wonderful this humidifier is. The unit is working at just over 1/2 the full output and keeps the humidity level at a constant 55-58% level and my plants are very happy with that. I only need to refill the unit once every 24 hours and this only takes about 4 minutes total and that is even with a good rinsing and cleaning all the parts with the brush provided with the unit. Once a week I clean it really good and let it dry out for awhile and then start over again. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this unit. I have read the reviews about the white dust problem if you have hard water which I do. I find that as long as I keep the unit running at just over the 1/2 level output that I don't have this problem but will be honest that any higher I do have a problem with the white dust. Please note this is NOT a problem with the unit itself as this problem would happen with any ultrasonic humidifier if one has hard water. When you get your unit there will be a certificate to get a decalcification cartridge that is supposed to help with the white dust problem. I am anxious to see if the cartridge will help with this and if I can raise the volume up a bit to keep the level at 60% all the time without the white dust problem as 60% is truly ideal for orchid plants. I can't understand why there are any negative reviews at all. ??? If others would only live with the unit and get to understand how it works with the conditions of their own house invironment I am sure the negative feedback would be reduced by far as this is truly a great humidifier. As to how long being run 24/7 this humidifier will last I am not sure at this point because I have had it only going on three weeks but I am the type of guy that will be very grateful with pushing these machines to the limit of everyday use for the purpose I want it for even if I have to replace the unit a couple of times a year it will well worth the money to have the most beautiful flowers in the world thriving in my own home and not have to enjoy them in a greenhouse somewhere or in picture only. I called customer service today as I wanted to find out about the decalcification cartridge coupon that came with the unit. They were extremely helpful and very kind and answered all my question without making me feel rushed. I hope you will give this humidifier a go as I think you will enjoy. Now if the cartridge works to help with the white dust caused from having hard water and I can raise the humidity level to 60% 24/7 I will give this unit a 10 star rating and without I still give it a 5 but it really should be a 6.

This room humidifier is rated to work adequately in a fairly large (250 ft2) room. Since the VOLUME of the room must be taken into account, I assume they mean a 2000 ft3 room (250 ft2 and an 8' ceiling). The bedroom I used it in is just shy of 1838 ft3, so is close to the limit of the unit's stated capability. It is very quiet (extremely low "white noise" and occasional gurgles), does not need a filter to catch minerals in the water, and leaves no mineral dust anywhere. I bought it to help cure the problem with my nasal passages becoming dry/stuffed up/bloody due to dry winter air. However, I happen to have a hygrometer in this room. It appears that the humidifier in this (large) room has a minimal impact on humidity. Even when run at max output all night, it added only ~2-3% (from 44% to 46-47%). The operational criticisms I have are the instructions and the power button. The instructions appear to have been written for a similar earlier model and have not been updated for the current design. The illustrations are drawings, not photos, and some do not display the real-life look of the current model. It is, however, relatively easy to figure out what's what after you separate the tank from the base (it's called the "body" in the instructions, but “base” would be more descriptive). The specifications in the instructions are sparse and generate some questions. As noted above, the max room size is listed as "250 ft2", but the specs should say either "2000 ft3" or "250 ft2 with an 8 ft ceiling." The Moisture Output is stated as "150ml/hr.", but does not say at what setting. Since the Tank Capacity is given as “1.5 liters”, at 150ml/hr., it would only run for 10 hours, so by inference, that spec must be the max output. However, it does not match up with my real-life test where it ran for 13 hours at max output. So either the specs are inaccurate, or there was something wrong with the unit I got (is putting out significantly less than 150ml/hr.). Despite the instructions saying throughout that the power button is “pushed”, it cannot be pushed. The word “push” should be replaced with “touch”, because it does not depress or click; it just detects that your finger either touched OR CAME CLOSE TO it (within 1/8"). The fact that you don't have to actually touch the button, just come close to it, sometimes causes it to switch to a different mode just before your finger lands on it, which causes it to move to yet another of the 5 modes: 1- Low Speed, light off; 2- Low Speed, light on; 3- High Speed, light on; 4- High Speed, light off; 5- turn unit off. You also have to commit these to memory to know what mode you've chosen. Each mode change is confirmed by a VERY high frequency/low volume beep. I'm a 78-year-old male. My hearing (and that of most males my age) is poor over 4000 Hz. If I'm not wearing my hearing aids, which I typically am not because I'm going to bed, I can hear the beep only if my ears are within a foot or so of the unit. Bottom line: It would have been better to (a) change the power button to one that can be pushed in (and clicks) or must actually be touched, (b) lower the beep frequency so older users can hear it, and (c) put 4 tiny LED's above the power button to tell you what power setting you're on OR replace the button with an analog 5-position switch (off + the 4 power-on settings). The power button is also the Low Water Level Indicator. The instructions say, ". . .the LED indicator light on the body (the base) will change from green to red . . ." The problem: The "indicator light" (i.e., the button) may have been green in earlier models, but is BLUE in the current model. No big deal, but another indicator that the instructions have not been updated. While I could live with the behavior of the "button", I needed a humidifier that significantly increases the humidity in the large room where it was used. I don't think this product can do that with a room larger than 1/2 the size of our bedroom, especially if the room has forced air heat (heat and cold-air-return vents). As a result, I wound up returning it.

I've had two of these for about a month. Both are working as advertised. The newest one started to put out less mist on the low setting so at next refill I cleaned the transducer with the provided brush and now it works as it should. Really, the only negative I find on both is the design of the tank. There is no handle and its seems very possible that if not handled carefully, one may drop it and break the tank as there is no refilling from the top of the unit. Also when one flips the tank to refill it dosent have a flat surface on top that will sit on any flat surface. I have to sit it in the sink drain and fill it carefully. I refill it everyday and I'm not sure how long it will last.

I often wake up with or get sinus headaches overnight and feel dehydrated and so I don’t sleep well. After research I found out that a humidifier can help and after reading mostly good reviews I bought this one to try in my bedroom. It has really helped! It is really quiet which is great but the power button is bright and I like a dark room so I have to stand something in front of it. It also unexpectedly has an American plug so I then had to buy a USA/English adaptor which was a nuisance more than a problem. I also hadn’t realised that you should use distilled water in it. I initially bought a 5litre bottle but that lasted less than a week. It is going to be a pain and expensive to have to keep buying the water especially as you can’t get them from the supermarkets. I don’t know what would happen if you use tap water and as it is an expensive item I do not want to risk it. Overall though I am really pleased with it and it is certainly helping me sleep better and have far less headaches. Would recommend.

Goodn

me llegó ayer y ese mismo dia lo porbé para ver si funcionaba, y funciona perfecto, tiene 3 intencidades de que salga el vapor.

I have been using this since few months and extremely satisfied. Previously I was having nasel infection due to dryness from heating system. After using the humidifier I am fully recovered and having sound sleep. Highly recommended!

Been using this since last November…does a great job keeping my bachelor room humidified ..only use it at the one o’clock on the dial..I choose the blue Color..looks calming beside my bed..I only use distilled water so it never needs cleaning ..Plus a 4 liter of water is only $1.25 so it hasn’t cost too much over the season and ensures clean mist.
