Pros Simple controls, effective nozzleStraightforward interface, good all-around performance, easy to fill and cleanEffective, warm misting option, smart functionality, easy to carryUltra quiet, simple to cleanPremium yet affordable, smart features, intuitive app
Cons Low output, feels flimsyNo humidistat, pricey, no smart functionsPriceyOverpriced, non-removable tankRequires app to access functions
Bottom Line This affordable humidifier is easy to clean, but its low output means it'll need to run for longerA 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 operationThis 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
