I ordered this as a replacement for a failing Honeywell humidifier in a room where we store wine. We live in high desert and the humidity is typically below 25% and often 10% or below. I settled on the Levoit 6000s after considering several units of similar size. Unpacking it, this seems like a well built and very well designed humidifier. The capacity should be more than up to the job of keeping our room "wine comfortable" long enough to account for any time we are away. I've only had this running for three days now, but a couple of things impress me. First, it is quiet as compared to the other humidifiers I have used. Noise is not really an issue in the room this is used, but the difference is noticeable. Second, the humidifier does an excellent job of keeping the humidity near what I have set, as measured by a separate sensor located on the other side of the room. According to that sensor, the Levoit 6000s maintains the humidity level and is very accurate. The faucet hose attachment that is included is a nice feature. Lugging water containers back and forth has always been a dreaded chore, and this will eliminate the need for that. I'm not generally a big fan of app-controlled features on appliances, but the app for this product is pretty good. The main thing I use it for is checking up on it, but it is easy enough and has not thrown any fits. It's a good feature. After this short of time, the unit also seems efficient. The water usage is less than the old Honeywell unit while maintaining the humidity level. I saw another reviewer say this humidifier is doing the work of two of his old units, and I think that is consistent with the efficiency I have seen so far. The Levoit 6000s is about twice the price of the other units I looked at, but thus far I think it exemplifies the old saying, "you get what you pay for." Assuming it holds up (and from the way it is built, I expect it will), this is the best portable humidifier I have owned. Read more

Let me start by saying this is an excellent humidifier! It does an incredible job of keeping my ~1,000 sqft. 2BR apartment humidified. I'm extremely satisfied with how effectively it will humidify my place that can get as low as 15-20% without humidification. Now, the area for improvement: The improvement could really come from Auto Mode on the Vesync app and how it integrates with the smart features of the humidifier. An unfortunate flaw with the Auto Mode is that it does not allow you to select your own preferred humidity level. It has 2 settings (home and away). The humidity level of these settings are dependent on the ambient temperature in the room as read by the humidifier, which always is about 5F degrees lower (most likely because wherever the sensor is on the unit is being influenced by the damp cooler air coming out of the machine). In my opinion, this falsely causes the humidifier to run at the 60% humidity level on the "home" setting for Auto or 55% setting for "away." Personally, that's a bit more humidity than I'd like to have in my place with nighttime outside temps in the teens Fahrenheit already in December. It just causes too much condensation on the windows. I'd prefer that I could manually "set it and forget it" on the Auto Mode at 50% and minimize the window condensation. By no means is this a deal breaker, but it's definitely an area of improvement the app developers should do to the auto mode where it's selectable by the user instead of having default humidity levels based off the incorrect ambient temperature. I have reached out to the company to see if this is something their developers could work on, so hopefully they'll be open to the feedback. Looking at some of the few reviews that there are so far, it seems like there are others that share my thoughts. The app and humidifier do have a function where you can manually select the humidity level you'd prefer and it will maintain that level. I'd liken this to a hybrid manual/auto mode. The only caveat here is that you have to set your own fan speed and it's either on or off. It doesn't cycle through lower or higher speeds to just maintain your desired humidity level like an auto mode would. I've found myself using this feature since the auto mode is just unreliable with the temperature readings influencing the auto humidity levels defaulted by the software. My Levoit 300S humidifier's auto mode setting is perfect from the Vesync app, so I'm hoping the developers will create an option for a user-selected auto mode and then the 6000S will be perfect. I still rated it 5 stars because it does everything it's designed to do extremely well. The manual does say that Auto Mode will maintain 50% if not connected to the Vesync app (which would solve all my auto-mode woes because all I want to do is set the thing to 50%) but I'm a bit of a tech geek and love data, so I'd prefer to keep the capability of monitoring everything remotely while I'm away just to ensure everything's working correctly. For anyone who made it this far in my review, don't let what I've mentioned discourage you from buying the unit. I think this could be a pretty simple software/firmware fix if it were something enough people requested and found to be somewhat problematic with the current app and humidifier settings. Even despite the auto mode issues, the app and unit itself has tons of functionality that really make it a great product! Albeit a bit expensive, but I have faith it will last quite a long time. Seems to be well-built, overall and I have not have had any leakage issues like some others have mentioned in their reviews. Read more

I've owned many humidifiers, and this ranks easily as the very best. It effectively humidifies 1000+ sq ft, is easily controllable via the smart app, and requires minimal maintenance. Sure, the filters have to be changed periodically, but this is true of any quality humidifier - I don't count that as a negative. I love that the tank holds enough water to last at least 3 days even in the driest environment, and the smart app allows easy convenient control. In summary, this is no doubt the best humidifier I have ever owned. Now, the negative.... The fan has 2 speeds: "low" and "hairdryer/vacuum" high. There is no medium - it's either silent or "hairdryer in the background" high. Also, the app is sufficiently advanced/convenient that you would expect it to understand when the water level is too low for the pump to work, but it does not. When the water level falls below the pump depth, it just runs on high indefinitely as the humidity falls, until you get annoyed at the noise and wonder "why is my humidifier not humidifying properly?" Overall, 4.5 out of 5 stars. But adding a "medium" fan setting and water-level sensitivity could make this a truly 5-out-of-5 star device. Read more
