   We use it all winter and it works well for us

   I cannot get it to increase the humidity above ambient (presently only 31%) without it switching off after a few seconds
   I sure wish I had tried it out before the return window closed, but when I bought it (Oct 2024) the humidity was not low.

   Since the above, I have spent much time with Levoit Cust Service, jumping procedural hurdles to get the cooperation I needed: however, they have agreed to replace it, so I expect it will end satisfactorily.
   PS: the malfunction video attached does no seem to work.

   This is a review after having for 2 weeks. Background about me: I looked around at many different options for home humidification. Where I live in the North East, summers are usually hot and humid and fall and winter tends to be very dry. We had a particularly dry spell at the end of October, which lead to sinus issues and I needed some relief. I thought of getting a professionally installed humidifier for my central air system, but decided against that as running a water line to the attic which would be prone to freezing was not acceptable. I also looked at portable steam humidifiers but the choices were limited and not great. So, an evaporative humidifier it is. I have a large space; room-sized humidifiers don’t do anything because of forced air heat (I have a venta airwasher which I am going to retire), so I needed something with a lot more oomph. I’ve tried ultrasonic misters in the past, and they are novel, but generally don’t do a good job. The Levoit 6000s fits what I wanted. A humidifier that can work for my whole house (~2000ft²) and doesn’t need constant filling and attending. In this super low humidity time of the year, 6 gallons lasts maybe 36 hours. The machine actually evaporates that much water, it is pleasantly surprising. RH increases rapidly up until about 45%, then it is slower as it diffuses. Seems to cease increasing the humidity once RH is about 60% and the temp is around 70F. Which is fine, 50% RH makes your nose happy and doesn’t make everything feel damp. A steam humidifier might over humidify an area. The unit stops operating with about 1/2gal left in the tank. The water at this point turns yellowish, due to calcium being left behind. I also notice when the water level starts getting very low, and the humidity is somewhat high, you’ll hear a slight tricking sound as the water from the pump isn’t evaporating on the pads and is dripping back into the tank. Its not obnoxious though. Automatically shuts off when the water level is too low to continue. Has 3 fan speeds. I leave it on 2 as it just disappears into background noise. Speed 3 is a bit loud, I measured around 41db from 1m away. Speed 2 is below 30db, my meter won’t read it. You can also turn off the lights, so if you are a light sleeper this won’t bug you. Power usage on fan speed 1 is 3 watts, speed 2 is 8 watts, speed 3 is 21 watts. The bottom line is, this works great for your whole house, even with forced air HVAC, it has a lot of nice creature features you’ll appreciate, and doesn’t seem to need a lot of attention. It brings the humidity to around 50% quickly, but don’t expect it to bring the humidity much above that on speed 2. Generally, that’s the sweet spot for happy nose and skin anyway. The design is resistant to leaks and spills. If you can lift it in and out of your sink or bathtub go for it, otherwise it comes with a silly hose thing to fill it. Update: a few months later. This thing still rocks. I added a screenshot of an independent analysis of how fast this can throw the humidity out there. I replaced the pads with blue ones, and it’s working just fine. Keep up with the mold and mildew growth, otherwise it starts to smell and can give you allergies. Run the unit dry and let it sit empty and dry for a few days every now and then. I bleach the pads and just dump a little bit of bleach in the unit every so often (like a couple tablespoons). It makes everything smell (like bleach) for a while, but it does the trick with sanitizing everything in the machine. Suggest doing the bleach treatment in a garage or other space where you won’t be breathing it.

   We call it our R2D2. After buying a handful of smaller room ‘mist’ humidifiers, I began to notice a film resembling dust on the furniture and cabinet glass. It took me a bit to figure out where it was coming from. After buying this evaporative Levoit unit, the film disappeared. And I found I only needed this 1 humidifier to handle the whole house vs 4 smaller room units of a different brand. It’s a bit larger than you will be used to, but then again you are only buying 1 to handle a 1700sq foot house. It is super easy to fill with the included hose and sink tap adapter. If needed, it rolls easy, and is bedroom quiet on fan speed 1 and 2. Fan speed 3 is only noticeable when initially conditioning the environment. Customer Service is outstanding!! I had an issue that I caused myself and Levoit Customer Service responded to my email within 24hrs.!! I am extremely happy with my purchase and have already recommended this particular humidifier to my friends. Thank you to Levoit for a great product and Amanda in Customer Service…… //Carl

   *UPDATE: I am lowering the stars from 5 to 4 Here are the two primary reasons why: 1. I need a handle or something to grab on the lower reservoir Sometimes, I want to fill the tank fast, so I use my bathtub to do so. However, it is really, really hard for me to lift the full water tank from the bathtub and put it on the floor, as the plastic material of the tank has nothing for me to grab onto. I know we have an easier way of filling the tank using the tube, but I have overfilled and flooded my bedroom twice as I was not paying attention. It is painful to clean the water in your carpet, so please ALWAYS pay attention when filling using the tube provided. Flooding my bedroom is my mistake; I do not blame the humidifier. 2. Water Dripping Sound at Night: I have roommates, so putting the humidifier in my bedroom is my only option. The fan is quiet at night and won’t disturb you from sleeping, which is good. However, even when I put the humidifier in night mode, I can hear water dripping from the top compartment to the lower water tank, which sounds loud at night. I can’t sleep with the sound of water dripping, especially when the water level is low; the sound is obvious to me. It should be fine if you put the humidifier in another room. I investigated and found huge water beads on the plastic panel attached to the upper compartment, which drips down to the tank. If you mind a water dripping sound or can’t go to sleep with any noise, don’t put it in your bedroom or consider alternative options. However, the humidifier still performs well and is efficient. Functionally, it is worth a FIVE star, but with the two issues I mentioned, I think it still requires some improvements. *Initial Review Living in the dry Midwest, I replaced my old Levoit ultrasonic humidifier after discovering mold and learning about potential lung hazards from water particles. This led me to explore safer options. I was only considering Levoit or a German brand, as other brands are ugly-looking, in my opinion. I settled on the Levoit Superior 6000S, their first evaporative humidifier. Not only was it more affordable than its German counterpart (priced at $249 versus $500+), but my positive experience with Levoit’s air purifier also influenced my decision. *First Impressions: Stylish Exterior, Underwhelming Interior The humidifier boasts a sleek, modern design that fits well in any room. However, the internal components, particularly the fan, feel cheap. They remind me of something you’d find at a budget store. *Setup and Operation: Simple Yet Effective The setup is straightforward. The system pumps water from a reservoir to the top, trickling down through filters. As air passes through these moist filters, it picks up moisture and is expelled, humidifying the room. The process is essentially middle school physics, but it’s impressively efficient. *Performance: Exceeds Expectations I heard that evaporative humidifiers require longer to improve humidity than ultrasonic ones. I tested it in my 500 sqft apartment (though it’s rated for 3000 sqft) and was amazed. The humidifier increased humidity from 27% to 50% in under two hours, even with a window open. At its lowest setting, it’s pretty enough. Even if I put it 5 feet from my bed, I can still go to sleep, and it maintains the humidity at 50% at its lowest fan speed easily. (Note: with my bedroom door closed. My bedroom is probably around 300 sqft.) *Areas for Improvement *Water Refilling: The included plastic tube works well with tall faucets but struggles with standard bathroom sinks, leading to bending and restricted water flow. *Maintenance and Cleaning: The long, curved water tube connecting the reservoir and the top part could pose cleaning challenges similar to those encountered with a fish tank. However, the unit’s design minimizes hard-to-clean corners and edges, making it generally easier to maintain than traditional humidifiers. I plan to use a bleach-infused cleaner for effective cleaning and disinfection. *Final Thoughts on the Levoit Superior S6000 After giving this humidifier a whirl for a day, I’m happy with it. It does what it’s supposed to do without any fuss, and it gets my thumbs up. But I won’t lie – the build and the primary mechanism make me question the price tag. Is it worth what I paid? I’m on the fence about that. Stay tuned, in any case. If anything significant pops up, good or bad, in how this thing works or what it’s like keeping it clean, I’ll be sure to drop an update. For now, if you’re in the market for a no-nonsense humidifier, the Levoit S6000 is a decent pick.

   This thing is amazing , started burning wood in my house along with a pellet stove so humidity was through the floor and me and my dog were very itchy as a result so I knew I needed something that was capable of really pumping humidity into the air anything does a great job keeping the house at desired moisture. Biggest one I’ve seen on levoitoutlet.com
