Pros Straightforward interface, good all-around performance, easy to fill and cleanEffective, warm misting option, smart functionality, easy to carryUser-friendly interface, adjustable nozzle, smart featuresUltra quiet, simple to cleanPremium yet affordable, smart features, intuitive app
Cons No humidistat, pricey, no smart functionsPriceyPricey, water tank can be tough to carryOverpriced, non-removable tankRequires app to access functions
Bottom Line A super effective humidifier with a straightforward, minimalist design, but we feel that additional features would have further justified the costThis model stood out thanks to the sleek design, high-end functionality, and sheer convenience of operationExtensive controls, smart home integration, and easy operation provide a trouble-free humidifier experienceThis exorbitantly priced humidifier showcases super quiet operation and is easy to clean while delivering superb humidifying powerThis unit defies the notion of affordability versus quality, impressing us with both its output and functionality, all while maintaining a budget-friendly price
