Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier: 6 Settings, 72-Hour Run Time, 2500-3000 sq. ft. Coverage, ETL Listed

Make noise ac adapter and humidifier made big noise

Not loud and operates beautifully, second year that we have had the 6000S, quiet and efficient.

It works great when it is running but the sensor lets the humidity drop too much before turning on.

When I set up my humidifier today, it won't function. Upon starting it, the red light that indicates there is no water comes on after 5 seconds and the unit shuts off. However, the water tank is full and the top part is fitted correctly on the unit. This seems to be the same problem someone else reported on this site. Over the 2 years, I probably ran it for a total of 8-10 months. I kept it clean and followed all instructions for storage. The 2 year warranty ran out 7 days ago.

This is a good alternative to the ultrasonic humidifiers that produce mist. It makes a sound due to the fan, but is not bothersome. It does help increase the humidity in the room, but you'd need a few of these if you aim to raise the humidity to 50% in a large room. I appreciate the hose accessory that allows for easy filling. The wheels are a bit cheap, so I would like a future product to include wheels that roll better. Overall highly recommend.

This helps my plants (I have well over 100 indoor plants) and helps me out big time. I suffer from terrible sinus and allergies issues, in a very dry state so really, this is a game changer to the whole family, including the cats, dogs and plants! I’ve noticed a huge difference, health wise, since we have had the humidifier. On the Other hand, funny thing is that we’ve had this humidifier for almost a year and JUST NOW found out that there’s an app available, WiFi and so many more features and functions that we were oblivious to, all because the instruction manual was neatly placed in a drawer…. until today! I’m tellin you, the instructions were definitely a game changer. I felt like I just opened up a brand new shiny gift, ready to play! Final thoughts - going forward instruction manuals are a MUST ha ha ha ha!!!!

Been running for 3 years now without a hitch. I absolutely love how easy it is to fill at the sink, and love how big the tank is.

I bought this evaporative Humidifier because I have several musical instruments in my apartment. Musical instruments are not happy or healthy in a dry environment. This is why you often see instruments kept in a separate room in quality music stores. The Humidifier also helps the instruments stay in tune. One of my many instruments is a Hammered Dulcimer. Before I bought the humidifier, I could hear the strings or the wood that holds the strings pinging because the room was too dry.. A dry room can also do permanent damage to your instruments in cold weather.

Does a good job humidifying the house but it sometimes makes a squealing noise and I don't know why or how to make it stop. Filters need cleaning every time we fill the tank.

Excellent humidifier! I use it in my band room to keep my guitars in good shape.

This is the best evaporative humidifier with a large capacity out there for us... we considered the Venta (neighbor has one) and tried the Vornado 4 gallon. Venta's airflow design isn't ideal for sitting next to a wall or in the corner, which is very problematic in a tight NYC apt. 6 gallon is bigger than Vornado's 4, and the refill method is much easier. We use NYC tap water, which is soft, so folks with bad/hard water may be better off with a wicking action like the Vornado instead of pumping action like this one. Some tips: Make sure you use a water bacteriostatic additive like Essick/BestAir/Venta/etc. Or mix your own like we do... they all use some combination of a quat (we use Steramine tablets) and citric acid (we get food grade powder) or ethyl alcohol. Use the app to be able to use Humidity Fan mode instead of Humidity Smart mode or Auto, which allows you to keep the fan speed low and quiet. Things that Levoit can improve: better wheels, a bigger/taller capacity model, more fine-tuned control in the app around humidity targets. Right now, if you set a target humidity, it will kick own when humidity is target minus 5% and keep running until it gets to target. I would prefer to be able to set the range of off & on to control when it kicks on and when it goes off. We currently use the app to set it at 43% so it fluctuates in a 5% range around our ideal of 40% humidity.

I purchased this to help with the dry air in my home during winter. I have run it on the highest setting, 24 hours a day with no issues. It goes through the 6 gallons in about 24 hours. I'm very satisfied. The "dry" mode is also good to keep the filters in good shape.

Does its job really well, easy to control and very quiet (on the lowest setting)

This a very impressive machine, and I'm really glad we bought it. We live in a 3500 sq ft ranch style house and in winter our house gets to 20% humidity. Right away when running this it has gotten the main rooms to 30 or 35% depending on where it is. Thank tank lasts 2-3 days when running on low speed. On high, I have found I often need to fill it every day. That is the most inconvenient part, but the fill-up takes about 2 minutes total. I've verified the internal humidistat to be very accurate. Two other devices reported the same % that the Levoit reports. This contrasts with the Dreo models we have all at 10% higher than other readings. The app works well but I don't need to use it. The interface is very easy to use, and the machine is very easy to use. I haven't had to clean it yet after a month of use. The wicks look as clean as when I purchased it and the machine has been running on high the whole time. We have soft water and I think that helps keep the machine in better use for a longer time. Cleaning the machine right now is just dumping the remaining water out before refilling. We plan to get one more for the other side of the house.

Worked exactly once. Now always says "empty water tank" even though tank was refilled.

Easy to fill, easy to maintain, easy to assemble and filters are reasonable

Overall a decent unit, especially for the price and claimed capability for whole house use. A few issue I have with its operation after having for a couple of weeks. 1) when the unit is full of water, the wheels are less than stellar upon moving to its designated running location. It is hard to steer and requires more "push" effort than it should. 2) filling the unit is a pain. You must remove the top portion to get to the fill hole, and by doing so, results in water getting on the floor. 3) The suction unit that dangles from the filter assembly sheds water everywhere when you have to remove the mid-section for its recommended semi-daily cleaning/emptying. 4) it has trouble attempting run and stay at the set humidity level; it tends to run lower than the desired setting, only kicking it up a notch when you apparently walk by the unit stirring the air and triggering its sensor that it's too low a humidity. * The large capacity water tank is nice, the unit is relatively quiet for its size, and it has a nice remote-control app. How long it lasts is going to be key. The replacement of the 4 filters looks to be a routine expense that is not insignificant too.

This machine WILL disconnect from your wifi multiple times per week for no reason. (That error code is "ES".) You'll reconnect it back to your wifi, and it'll disconnect within seconds. The machine will turn on and off whenever IT wants to. The app will not display all operating options or any helpful info on how to fix the issue. Repeat these steps an indefinite amount of times! If that isn't enough, the filters degrade QUICKLY by mold! Your windows will have so much condensation on them that they'll sweat and mold up your window frames and window sills. You will need to clean the tank out every 3 days to prevent mold; which is a lot of upkeep (especially for those physically disabled). To close out, even if the machine didn't have any of the above problems - it's LOUD and it produces so much wind that you'll feel chilly in the room it's set up in. Get the cheaper version if you need a non-frustrating humidifier!

I only bought this unit and have been using it now for three weeks. It is an excellent unit and designed very well. Large 6 gallon reservoir and nice wheels so I can roll it back and forth between where it normally sits and where I refill it. Very convenient and practical. And they say the evaporative design is better than the ultrasonic design. One reason is the evaporative design doesn't leave surfaces wet around the area like ultrasonic do.

Very easy to set up and add to home’s WiFi. Easy to add water as needed. Once it’s set up to WiFi it’s like using your TV. Turn it on from your phone using the app and put it on auto.
