Levoit Classic300S Ultrasonic Smart Top Fill Humidifier, Large 6L Tank, 60H

After researching multiple humidifiers, I settled on this Levoit 650S and I'm honestly blown away by it, enough to write a review. The designs and the features are just so over the top, you can tell they put a lot of care into a humidifier which is not a device that typically gets much thought. I'm coming from an old basic sunbeam ultrasonic unit which was loud, had to be refilled at the sink (from the bottom) and impossible to clean. This Levoit unit blows it away and it has so many features I didn't even expect. Automation & Smart Features: If you're considering this unit, it's probably for the smart features. And it's way more comprehensive than I anticipated. If you've ever set up a smart bulb, the setup and app function is very similar. You can set schedules, timers, mist intensity, change the light temperature and brightness and target what humidity level you want. There are even "scenes" I don't quite understand yet. For my schedule, I run my unit at 50% humidity during the day with the light on in daylight hue, from 9AM to 9PM. From 9PM to 9AM, the light transitions to warm 2700k, 50% brightness, and I target 45% humidity during the night. This schedule took about 5 minutes to setup. Bit of a learning curve as with any new app, but not too convoluted. Since the system automatically detects ambient humidity, you can use that as a target like a thermostat and let it do its thing. It will automatically turn on and off as needed. I didn't expect this, I was mostly just looking for something I could schedule on and off, but this is way more accurate. 45% - 50% is ideal for house plants. Above 60% you risk mold growth. So it's best to have a unit which maintains a target, rather than guessing with an on/off switch. In addition, the app keeps a history of everything, almost like a fitness app. It constantly records humidity levels, so you can see (if you wanted) what humidity was like during the night, even if your unit isn't running. Then maybe adjust it for your sleep to figure out what's best. A bit superfluous to track humidity like this, but again I appreciate the effort by Levoit. Aesthetics & Nightlight: So...the design is beautiful. Yes a humidifier is beautiful. The big tank is nicely shaped and crystal clear like glass, and the central steam column with the night light creates a very nice aesthetic. The light is perfect for a night light. Some people complained it was too dim and I think they're missing the point. It just looks nice in a pitch black room. That's it. If it were any brighter, it would be bothersome to have on at night. This is great on a night stand, though you may want the smaller model. The front plate displays the current humidity. The LEDs on the front are white and not too bright for a dark room. I've added an image and it seems brighter in the photo than it really is. It's similar to an old alarm clock, and the numbers are big and easy to read from a distance. The entire front can also be turned off if you want no lights at all. The controls are touch activated, but I mostly interact via my phone. Output & Noise: I have it set to run automatically 24/7, so I set it to the gentle/lowest setting which is completely inaudible. At the maximum setting, it can really pump out mist and is no louder than a desktop computer fan. Aromatherapy: I didn't even know this existed when I bought it, but there's a little internal tray you can add essential oils to. Haven't tried this yet, but I intend to. Orange, Lemon and Lavender would be nice. Maybe some sandalwood. Filling & Cleaning: Unlike my old sunbeam, the main base of this unit stays dry, with a wet tray over base which the tank connects to. So you pull out the wet tray and run it through the dishwasher, theoretically keeping the main unit completely clean of mold or mineral deposits as it doesn't come into contact with water. This is a HUGE feature as my old sunbeam was impossible to clean. The tank sat right into the base, so there was always water in a base filled with electronics you couldn't get wet. Again, by comparison, completely thoughtless. It's the little things that come from regular use which determine whether a product is just "meh" or "I love this thing". And this is in the latter category. I used tap water in my last unit, and we have great tap water in Colorado. But I'm using filtered Zero Water this time to avoid any mineral build up, along with stripping out chlorine and fluoride. Only pure water is emitted this way. Since the unit can be refilled from the top, you can take smaller pitchers of water to refill/top up and not have to haul a large tank. Great for older people, much more manageable. And the tank is quite large, it will last a few days of continual use without a refill. Overall, just refilling it is much less of a pain than the sunbeam was. Value: I got this on sale for a bit over $70 which I think is a great price given the features. Lots of other uglier, standard units are priced at this level. Levoit makes a lot of humidifiers and I actually think this is their best model. Highly recommended.

We’ve gone through four humidifiers over the years that were noisy, expensive, bulky, and a huge hassle with the filters, the solution you had to add to the water, the distilled water, constantly breaking the stupid thing down to clean, and they were ugly! This one is less than half the size, looks nice, almost completely silent, no hassle, just add some water from time to time. This has helped our elderly cat’s breathing quite a bit. THIS is what all humidifiers should be like. I wish I had this one 30 years ago!

This is my second humidifier of this same brand and model. Using them has enhanced my use of lubricating eye drops, and between them they are helping alleviate my dry eye issue. I use only distilled water but you can also use tap water or purified water. If you use tap water, you will need to empty the water and clean all the parts that get wet every day! Otherwise, mineral deposits build up and reduce both the efficiency of the product as well as the purity of the mist. It's very easy to use, and can be paired with an app to enable remote control ability through a smart phone. Frankly, it's so easy to use manually that I don't bother with yet another app! It isn't hard to clean this humidifier but there are quite a few parts to clean, which is one reason I use only distilled water! You don't get the mineral deposit build up and cleaning can be done much less frequently. How reliable this humidifier is over time remains to be seen. I've only been using one for about 10 days and the second one just arrived today. If one or the other craters in a month or two, I will update my review.

The 300S really is an excellent humidifier and a great value; my only disappointment is it isn't quite as easy to clean as advertised, as there are parts of the humidifier than remain inaccessible (and have pink mold on them) that drive me a little nuts. This thing really packs a punch for humidification - on a high setting, it can really humidify a space significantly. It's even set off my daughter's smoke alarm because of how misty it made the room, ha. It also holds more water than it looks - I live in a very dry climate and on a relatively high setting (target 54% RH in our roughly 15-20% RH home) we get two full nights out of it. The only disappointment has been the cleaning - I read many reviews before purchasing saying how easy it is to clean, how accessible everything is, etc. etc. and all I can say is there must be some really hard to clean humidifiers out there if this is one of the easiest. I've included a photo of its condition after more than 2 years of use, and you can see there is some mineral buildup at the black seal in the base and around the bottom of the mist tube, but, I also don't bother with distilled water and supplement with little 'cleaning fish' (https://a.co/d/6TQEFNb) to help with mineral buildup. So after two years, it's not terrible and mostly on me for not wanting to buy distilled water ;) My real beef is with the mist tube - there's an impossibly narrow and distant part near the base and I have yet to find a cleaning brush narrow and long enough to clean the pink mold out that forms between the tube and its little insert. I've honestly considered buying a waterpik just to 'powerwash' the thing; my kitchen faucet sprayer on max isn't strong enough to blast it off. There aren't many parts to take apart when cleaning but I actually wish it broke down into more so I could access that thing. The other trouble with cleaning is - at least per the instructions - you do a 15-minute soak with 3 cups or vinegar, and then a second 15-minute soak for two small pieces that you just soaked already. So if you're following the instructions, you're married to a 30 minute+ cleaning session. I generally do the first soak, then dump the same vinegar back into the measuring cup with the two small pieces in it, and start cleaning the tank and base while those sit there. I rarely have the patience to wait out the next 15 minutes, but it's still about a 25+ minute job in the end. I use a baby brush and the longest, narrowest wire brush I can find in addition to the small 'looped' brush to clean all the nooks and crannies. Keeping gallons of vinegar stocked for this is a bit of a bummer too. Now all that said - per above this thing REALLY works, which is huge. It's also got just about any feature a person would want out of a humidifier - it has Bluetooth capability with an app but you can also work the intuitive controls without one. You can add essential oils in a little absorbent pad that lives in a small 'drawer' if that's your thing. It's got an optional timer, an optional nightlight, low/medium/high and auto mode and you can set the desired %RH with an app. I believe the hygrometer is on the bottom, so if you've just cleaned it and it gets wet it may be a little out of whack that night. And it's surprisingly quiet. Even if this cost a lot more it would still be an excellent value - my cleaning neuroses aside, it's an excellent appliance and has lasted us three years and still works great, despite my not using any distilled water. Just be prepared for the cleaning. ;)

Easy set up, the humidifier is quiet and efficient. I love that it has auto mode so it will shut off after reaching the set humidity. Also features a night mode with no front display, as well as a night light if needed.

Bought this humidifier based on NYT Wirecutter recommendation. My bedroom is particularly dry over the winter time, so I needed something to bring the humidity level up. This humidifier works great. Easy to set up and run. My bedroom is about 12 x 15 with a cathedral ceiling, and the machine successfully raises the humidity from 30-35% to 45-50% and keeps it at that level over the 8 hours I'm sleeping. I fill the tank with a gallon of distilled water, and I'm able to run it about 2 nights before the water runs out. The noise level is noticeable when it is on, but not very loud. I usually run a white noise machine at night anyway which completely covers any sound the humidifier makes. I do recommend using the heated steam setting over the winter as it seems to make the room more comfortable. As for cleaning, I've had the humidifier about a month, and I've just been emptying the tank every 2 days, taking it apart (which is quite easy), wiping down the parts with a microfiber cloth, and then letting it air dry over the course of the day. That seems to work well. I do plan on doing a deeper cleaning after a month probably following the recommendations made by Wirecutter for how to do that. You have the option to use essential oils if you want to try aromatherapy, however, I've not tried that, and I'm not sure how healthy that would be for overnight use. You can use an app with the machine which gives you better control over the machine (like finer grain control of humidity settings and options to turn off display), but it's not required. It is pretty easy to set up, and I like being able to use the app on my phone to control it from bed when needed. If you need a humidifier, I highly recommend it.

This is must have for anyone with dry skin and sinus issues. Being able to control the mist output is one of my favorite things about this product is, my husband loves how quiet it is and that you can turn off the light at night.

Update 9/26/24: After my old humidifier started leaking and died, I bought the LEVOIT OasisMist 1000S. This one has the entire tank at the bottom (which is huge, holds 10liters of water) and the top part that has the screen/humidifier parts that you can remove from the bottom/tank. The tank is just one piece of plastic instead of multiple pieces like my old one so I highly doubt it will end up leaking (knock on wood!). I think I would recommend this one, just because I know the tank is a lot more sturdy than the other one, the tank holds a lot more water (I refill every other day), and it does all the same things the other one did (control with your phone, that kind of stuff). I’ll update if something happens to this one lol Update 3/21/24: Pretty bummed because I really liked this humidifier (I purchased the 300s) but the tank started leaking a few days ago. Bought it and been using it since last November pretty much 24/7 except when I would leave to go out (if I would remember to turn it off lol). The other day I noticed the humidifier was showing the reading of 85% humidity which I knew was way off since I live in Colorado and even when I have the humidifier turned on it rarely gets up to 40% in my room. I noticed there was water all around the tank and on my carpet and I read that off readings on the humidifier was due to the sensor getting wet so I emptied the tank, cleaned the entire thing out plus the base and let it dry for a Cpl hours then filled it back up and ran it again. The % this time wasn’t as high but still off and the next hour or so it kept going down until it got to 40% but then I noticed it going back up. Went to check on it and water was all over the tank again so I knew there definitely was a leak. Put the (almost) full tank in my sink and the next morning there was only 1/4 water left in it. I’m thinking the water is leaking out from where the clear plastic on the sides meets the white plastic on the bottom of the tank. So I’m going to have to change my review from 5 stars to 2 because I only got a couple months out of it before it died. Still going to give it a 2 though because I really did like this humidifier. Being able to control and adjust the settings easily with my phone and it was super easy to clean. Just wish it the tank didn’t start leaking! Also btw in my previous review I said I didn’t notice any sediment/gunk forming in the bottom. I eventually did but it was easy to clean off in the sink with some warm water and a non-abrasive scrub brush. I definitely think changing the filters regularly helped keep that stuff from forming. I’m not so sure about the humidifier drops but I’ll still use them in my next humidifier I just purchased. ———— Love this humidifier. I live in CO where it is super dry especially during winter. I used a couple different ones but they always ended up with gunk/sediment in the bottom so I had to get rid of them. I know it’s better to use distilled water but I’m not paying for distilled water when I have to refill my humidifier every night. I didn’t use one last year and this year my nose and throat were so dry, I was getting nose bleeds and my throat hurt so bad I thought I was actually sick but decided to try a humidifier first to see if it would help. I liked this one because I could control it with my phone and it showed the humidity levels. After plugging it in it showed my rooms humidity level was 30% and having it on for 30 min my nose and throat felt so much better. I like how you can just pick up the tank from the bottom part, carry it to the sink then remove the lid and fill it up, really simple and easy. I also like that it has a filter (and options to buy more) because after a few refills I can see the filter start to change color so I feel like that’s helping keep gunk out from the bottom. I haven’t noticed any gunk/sediment and I’ve been using it continuously now for about two months but I also put “humidifier drops” in the water that I purchased on Amazon that supposedly helps stop buildup. Not sure if that is what’s helping. I also like the app. You can turn the humidifier on or off using the app, set a timer, put it on auto (which will turn off the humidifier at a certain humidity level) or set it on manual (where you choose how much moisture comes out). It also shows what the humidity level has been over time in the room you put the humidifier in and the humidifier itself shows on a little screen in front what the current humidity level is. There’s also a light inside the humidifier they call a “night light” you can turn on or off. All in all it’s a pretty neat humidifier. I guess it depends on how dry it is where you live because mine is set to shut off at 45% humidity and it rarely gets to that level so it’s basically on all the time except when I turn it off when I go out. So I usually have to refill it every night which is kind of a bummer but at least my nose/throat/skin isn’t so crazy dry anymore. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a humidifier that they can control with their phone and is pretty easy to refill and use. App set up and pairing was super easy as well.

J'ai acheté ce produit notamment pour fournir un meilleur taux d'humidité à mes plantes d'intérieur. Pour le moment, rien à redire, il fonctionne parfaitement. La fonction 'Auto' lui permet de se déclencher dès que le niveau d'humidité passe sous un certain seuil et de s'arrêter de la même manière lorsque celui-ci atteint le niveau fixé. Il est aussi possible d'utiliser l'appareil en mode 'Manuel' en le déclenchant soit même et choisissant un niveau de brumisation. Le remplissage se fait très simplement par le haut et le contrôle via l'application VeSync est un petit plus pratique.

Bra funktioner men låter för mycket efter ett par år. Det hjälper inte att rengöra

Very good & nice product,

Nicht zu groß, kein Geräusch, funktioniert super

Works great for our living room (8x5m) I also got it to work in home assistant. I bought this model specifically for using it in home assistant and because of the good reviews. +: Big tank, silent, clear display, the cats stay away from it, app works great - : You have to create an account (I read somewhere that a credit card is needed. This is not true!). If the company takes down the service, the home assistant integration stops working. All together a great machine!
