Homedics - Top Fill Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier - Large

Going back to a trusted brand, this is well thought device. It looks nice for a humidifier. Silky white with a mid-century pattern, wood looking legs and covered in clear plastic that gives it a pleasant look. It's taller than most humidifiers, so I don't need to put it on top of a stool, with legs that makes it easier to clean around it. Controls are tactile, and intuitive. There are lights on some of the buttons and a display that shows the target humidity level when idle. It has settings for on/off, timer up to 12 hours, 3 speeds, either target humidity or continuous, and the lights on the keys can be dimmed or turned off. It also has a white light that illuminates the floor as a night light and that can also be turned on or off. Holds about 1 1/2 gallons and it's meant to be refilled from the top using a pitcher or bottle. Since the tank detaches, it can also be filled with a faucet, although since it's a tall container I find it preferable to fill it with a pitcher. It also comes with one demineralization cartridge to be left inside the tank. The air intake is on the bottom and one can optionally add a pad moisten with essential oils. I'm using it as a humidifier, but it's an option and the tray is very easy to pull. I really like how easy is to clean: The plastic clear cover comes off. This is where the misting nozzle is. Only caveat is that it attracts dust and can be hard to keep spotless. Then the whole water container with the ultrasonic mister comes off the base. Once the container is emptied, the mister that makes the base of the container can be unscrewed and cleaned separately, so no need to reach deep inside the container too often.

We ran a small night stand humidifier all winter long due to the furnace drying out our skin and the occasional nose bleed from the dry air. This spring, when I was putting it away, I asked my Google assistant if people run their humidifiers during the summer too…well low and behold the AC units dry out the air just like the furnaces! The Homedics Ultrasonic Humidifier is awesome! It’s just what we needed for our bedroom. It’s a big enough unit to keep the whole bedroom nice and comfortable. I also love that we don’t need to clutter up a nightstand with a messy drippy table top unit. It has a 4, 8 or 12 hour timer shut off which is nice and an auto shut off when it’s empty. We set the timer before bed and cool mist all night long!!! It makes no noise and has a night light which you can shut off if you want. I also love the size of the tank! It claims 70 hours of run time depending on your mist level! We only use distilled water so it’s the purest water you can get… keeps the units running cleaner over the years and less mineralization. I wish it had an app that I could use to control it but It’s really not needed. One button push before bed and done! I thought it was also a nice touch to have the essential oil pads as an option. I probably won’t use that but it is a cool feature that a lot of people will love. Overall… Really awesome product! Peaceful comfortable sleeps a head!!! We are also going to buy a second one to put near some indoor plants we have to keep them nice and humid! Plants love that!!! Really love my Homedics Humidifier!! Awesome product!!!

The HoMedics Ultrasonic humidifier is a whisper quiet humidifier in small stylish package. Being someone who lives in a climate that gets cold in the winter and having natural gas heat, a humidifier helps me combat dry skin. This unit is much easier to operate and maintain than my other humidifier, and with stylish good looks it doesn’t look out place. The unit comes with three essential oil pads and a demineralization cartridge that’s good for 30 to 40 filing’s depending on how hard the water is you use in it. I used filtered water without the cartridge and have not noticed any white particles on any surrounding furniture yet which is the purpose of the demineralization cartridge if you use hard water. The units long slender profile makes it easy to fill the tank with filtered water from a refrigerator. With a tank capacity of 1.47 gallons the machine does not need to be filled often especially on the low setting. I filled mine about 65 percent full the first time and after two days of constant use it was still about 40 percent full. The front has touch controls for the settings and all the lights for the controls and display can be completely turned off. The direction of the mist is easily controlled by turning the piece on top where it comes out of. Overall, it’s a great addition to my household that will bring relief from colds, dry skin and more.

As someone who’s suffered from easy nose bleeds my entire life, I’ve been through my share of humidifiers. I have a full house humidifier attached to the HVAC system and run portable units next to my bed and on my desk at work. This HoMedics unit looked like it would fit into the decor better than the more generic/industrial looking units I’ve had in the past. Upon opening the box and unpacking the unit, the form factor seemed, for lack of better words, ‘weird’. A clear cover tube that slides over the top of the tall skinny ‘bucket’. After actually hooking and filling things up, it makes perfect sense and works great in practice. No more flipping water reservoirs upside down, unscrewing a cap and filling them. I just lift the whole ‘tube’ out, and fill it from the high flow tub faucet. The ‘weird’ form factor works great in practice, and hopefully will help this one last longer with no leaks. I love that you can turn all the lights off completely. I like a dark, blacked out bedroom when I’m sleeping, and this one will go dark. The unit puts out a nice amount of moisture, has 3 levels and humidistat so you should be able to get a setting that works for you. The option to run essential oils is a bonus, but I haven’t tried it yet. My only complaint, and it annoys me enough that I will deduct one star for it. There were a couple stickers on the unit, including a large one on the clear tube. When I peeled them off they did NOT come off cleanly and left a sticky residue on the tube. Otherwise this unit is great so far and hopefully will last longer than others have.

I was in need of an humidifier that was easy to not only use but read the control panel for my parents. My parents are up there in age and would not be able to handle very complex programing or menu system. I am so grateful this Humidifier is very easy to setup, use and read the menu on the device itself. Out of the package it was very easy to put together, just have to make sure to get every little tape they have on the inside and oil tray. It can hold quiet a bit of water, I used a gallon of distilled water and there was still room for more. I especially like how it came with a demineralization cartridge for those who decide to use tap water. However I would strongly recommend to only use distilled water for longevity of the humidifier. It comes with extra aroma pads that you can place the essential oils on which is a nice feature. I really like how stable the humidifier is on the nice looking legs. The menu is very easy to read and very simplistic , you pretty much have settings of how much mist output to use along with a programable humidify setting starting at 35% going up by 5%. The clean indicator button is a nice touch however its more of a timer based than an actual senor to identify if dirty. The little night light setting is cute but is really more cosmetic I find as it will not really light anything up and more for a nice ambiance setting. Overall this is a great , simple easy to use, easy to read operational menu that I recommend for anyone who wants a nice quiet humidifier.

Amazing! Quickly noticed it has helped with my breathing.

Since I was very young the change of weather always affected me in some way, from not being able to breathe properly to runny nose, I did not always find the remedy and many times I had to get used to it. Fortunately nowadays there are devices like this HoMedics ultrasonic humidifier very practical and easy to use, and in these increasingly extreme weather changes, personally it is a great help to breathe well and sleep better. In the box comes the humidifier, the essential oil pads, a demineralization cartridge and an instruction manual and warranty information. There is practically nothing to assemble, just remove all the stickers and plastics that protect the device and it is ready to use. The first thing to do is fill the water tank which has a capacity of 1.47 gallons of water, then put the cover on, plug the cord into the outlet, turn it on and you're ready to go. In my experience it was easier to pour the water directly into the tank with a pitcher than to remove the tank and fill it directly with the faucet, it is a bit cumbersome. On the front, which is where all the buttons are placed, you can adjust the humidity percentage from 35% to 55%, you can also set the timer, the steam power (3 levels), activate or deactivate the light on the buttons and the bottom light, there is also a cleaning button that will be activated when it is necessary. The performance is very good, the humidifier it fulfills its purpose satisfactorily and one of the features that I like the most is that it makes practically no noise, considering that you can turn off the button lights and the bottom light, it is a great relief if you want to use it during the night in the sleeping hours. Without filling the tank completely the water has lasted quite a long time, I have not had to add more water until after a few days. At the bottom there is a compartment if you want to use aromas with the steam, just put the aromatic oil on the pads, not directly in the water, close the compartment and you can enjoy the aroma that most pleases you. Also if the water used is hard water, it is recommended to use the demineralization cartridge so that no residues are generated, white powder in this case. The design is very interesting, because it is a not very big product but for its type if a little, at the same time the combination of very white plastic, a transparent cover and wood, looks very good, it does not necessarily look like a humidifier, but it is pleasing to the eye. The quick use guide explains very well what steps to follow depending on what you want to do, the manual is even more explicit but important to read before using for the first time. All in all, this humidifier delivers what it promises and is a very easy to use product, it is worth the price and I can certainly recommend it.

This is great! Holds enough water to run for a couple of nights, the night light is a nice feature but its really nice that you can turn off all the lights. I also still have yet to hear this run, it is whisper quite!

This humidifier has come in handy at just the right time! I live in the desert and the air is insanely dry right now with summer around the corner. There was an everlasting coat of dust on just about everything in my house that was driving me crazy, and it was getting unpleasant to sleep overnight because I kept waking up with a horrible cotton mouth. After getting this I have been sleeping significantly better and the dust problem has also improved. The dust hasn't been eradicated but it is much more manageable now. I like that it has a built-in diffuser to add your favorite essential oil and luckily my favorite scents are pet safe so I have been using it a bunch! Nothing like lavender dreams haha. There are three output levels to choose from and I stuck with the highest setting. I found that I was able to go just under 2 days before needing to refill the reservoir. The styling is also pretty nice! It can fit with just about any style or theme. It is on the larger side so you're definitely going to want to make sure it is in a sturdy place you can easily get to for refills and such. Overall I'd say this is a great humidifier that gets the job done with ease!
