Dreo Smart Humidifiers for Bedroom, 6L Top Fill Supersized Cool Mist Humidifier for Large Room, 60 Hour Runtime, Quiet Ultrasonic Humidifiers for Plants, Baby, Indoor, Home, Night Light, Black

While we have a central, forced-air HVAC system, I have supplemented this with a room humidifier in our master bedroom during the mid-Atlantic winters. I had been pleased with the Taotronics ultrasonic unit, but it appears to have been discontinued. After extensive research, I bought this 6 liter Dreo ultrasonic unit. Over this past winter, it has surpassed my expectations.First: Humidification Performance. Our bedroom is almost 250 sq. ft. with a 9 ft. ceiling height. We have a ceiling fan, operating at the lowest speed. We put the humidifier on a small table that is about 2 feet above the floor. The Dreo unio is capable of dispensing water at three rates. I've settled on the lowest rate. The unit has a built-in relative humidity (RH) meter (which I've verified using a sensor elsewhere in the bedroom.) I set the Dreo control to 30 % RH, which is our preference. The unit brings the RH to that level and sustains that all night (and all the next day)!Additional helpful features:1. No dampness on the surrounding carpet - the fine mist evaporates before falling to the floor.2. Directional mist flow. A modestly adjustable louver can keep the mist from settling on an adjacent piece of furniture.3. Easy to fill. This is a top loader. I can either lift the top of the water tank and pour water from a gallon milk jug (after making sure all the milk residue is gone) or lift the water tank and carry it to a sink for filling. I've done both with no mess. Note that 6 liters of water plus the tank weighs about 15 lb.4. Large, lit RH display for setting the target RH and the water dispersion rate.5. An LED also lights the water tank, with the color indicating the RH range. This can be turned off at night.6. The unit comes with a plug-in water filter that, so far, has trapped the mineral content of the water. This makes humidifier and water tank clean-up very easy. The instructions suggest a timetable. In about three months, I've seen no build-up or aroma. I do the clean-up about monthly.7. NOTE: This unit is so quiet, I can't hear it when it's running. This is great for sleeping. It's not a problem at other times, since the unit automatically turns off when (a) the RH reaches the pre-set value (turning on again if theRH drops) or (b) the water level in the tank gets below a pre-set level.In short, this is an outstanding performer at a low price. I'm pleased to have found it and expect you will be too.

This little device is marvelous. We live in the high mountains of New Mexico at 7,800 feet. Our house is adobe. Although it is very beautiful up here (much of Lonesome Dove and Lone Survivor were filmed here), it is dry. You actually need sunglasses even during a summer rain shower. In our bedroom, baseline humidity is 18%. With this little humidifier quietly humming along, the humidity level easily gets up to 50%. And 50% humidity is the most comfortable humidity level possible. Love this little machine.

Perfect for a decent size area of the home. Super quiet. Barely hear this humidifier running, even at full speed. It's easy to fill when needed. All functions work and I love the mist as it comes out from the top. Love that the mist can be directed if needed. Lighting is nice and soft, too. Easy to put together and relatively easy to clean. I like that it will shut off once the tank is empty. The slot for fragrant oil is nice... just do NOT put anything but water in the tank. As for the app that can be used to control this humidifier, I prefer not to use it, but it works fine.There are some concerns as to the white dust that can accumulate on the unit itself and the surrounding area. If you don't like dust, then this may NOT be the machine for you. No issue for me, but I know others don't like the fine particles of the evaporated water left on all surfaces after a week of running this humidifier. Best to use distilled water if you don't want as much dust. Cleaning will take some time. The water will get "icky" in base after 3 days. While it's easy to take apart, each and every piece needs a wipe down that has any contact with the tank and base water. After a week or so, it's best to use vinegar to remove the hard, mineral deposits and possible bacteria that can build up. It definitely needs clean-up care. All and all, I love my Dreo humidifier as do all my plants that surround it. This is my 3rd Dreo humidifier and I can't imagine not having on during the cold season.

All I wanted was a humidifier. I didn’t expect to have to add an app. It’s a very elegant looking humidifier. I’ll have admit the app makes operating easier. I put about 2 full gallons in the Dreo and I run it 24/7. You can schedule it, set the amount of humidity, set the speed, set the lighting on or off, and turn off the display if you rather not look at it. From about 20 feet away you barely hear it running. I should’ve bought the larger one. Why? Using a larger one would save me some counter space. This Dreo is putting out a good deal of moisture, however, on really cold nights when the furnace runs more often, the Dreo this size has a hard time keeping up. That’s the main reason for considering a larger model. Overall, I’m satisfied with this little unit. My nose and throat already feels better, to say nothing about the skin, which is terrific.Now, that damn essential oil drawer is the only drawback. We put essential oil in it to test it out. It was very pleasant. The next day I was showing my wife how works, and fail. The spring loaded drawer mechanism completely disintegrated. It was in pieces. I was very disappointed. I wrote Dreo immediately and sent them a picture. They responded the next Monday as had wrote them on Friday. The responder seem to know what I needed, so I relaxed a little. However, the parts they sent me was cleaning equipment, another essential oil drawer, a brush for cleaning and some other parts I had no idea where they went. They failed to send instructions. I decided to be a passive consumer and let it go. The defective drawer wouldn’t be missed.Did I mention the Dreo can be set to remind you when it needs cleaning? One more thing, you’ll know when the Dreo is not keeping up. It changes color from a cool blue to bright orange. This humidity indicator lets you know when the humidity drops below 30%.Would buy this again or recommend it? Definitely.
