Easy to fill. Works great. I have noticed a big difference since running this in our home.

Easy Setup easy to refill. Currently checking on water use and electric load.

easy to use, easy to fill, looks nice, full featured

Simple and effective! We live in northern Minnesota, so the winter air indoors gets very, very dry. This humidifier does a good job bumping up humidity throughout our house.

Outstanding Quality, ive never owned a humidifier but this device really is amazing. I can finally sleep soundly.

Good product, works well and how it should/ as advertised. The one complaint I have is the casters like others have mentioned.

The X Humidifier has been a great addition to our wintertime living space. I’ve had it running for about a week now, and I’m pretty satisfied with it’s performance so far. Here’s the rundown. Packaging was great. The unit was well protected, and everything used is recyclable. Mostly cardboard with some #4 plastic bags (recyclable like grocery store bags). It was easy to unpack. No complaints. Setup was a simple experience. I’d say the whole process from cutting open the box to turning on the unit took me about 45 minutes, and that was with actually following the getting started guide. I found the documentation easy to understand. I like the filter setup. It has 4 small rectangular filters that fit into a housing rather than one large clunky filter like the unit on my 2nd floor. The replacement cost is similar to my other unit. Around $40 or so if I recall, and you should get a full season out of a set of filters. Note that there is another sponge type filter that goes in the water pump. It is NOT included in the filter set. You have to add the filters and the sponge to your cart. I think this is silly and a way they are nickel and diming customers, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. Just sell a full maintenance set at a reasonable price and quite trying to be so smart with your hidden operating costs. It has a drying mode so that when you are done using it, you can dry out the filters before storing until needed. I like the design. It’s basically a 6gal water tank base with the filters on top and covered by the fan unit. It uses a hanging pump to bring water up to a rail above the filters, which them trickles down over the filters, keeping them moist. It’s simple and efficient. This until takes up half the space of my older humidifier and holds 2.5x the water. Nicely done. It comes with a nice hose to hook up to a faucet to help refill the tank. It has a soft rubber head that streatches to fit any faucet. The tank is on casters, so it's easy to push it to a sink, fill it up, and push it back. it's heavy with 6gal of water in it, but the wheels work well. Just be careful not to tip it over. Wi-Fi and BT connectivity make it easy to manage the device from anywhere. Inside the app, there are all kind of options. Manual, Auto, based on specific humidity, etc. You can save different schemes for when you are home, on vacation, daytime, nighttime, etc. To be honest, after playing with it for a week, I think auto does just fine. You can also operate from the touch buttons on the top of the unit if you aren’t into connected devices. It can pump a lot of moisture into the air. When I first turned it on, I cranked it up to see what it could do. It put 6 full gallons of water into the air in just under 24 hours. It generally runs for 2-3 days during average weather in central Illinois winter. A few things I noticed. While this until is strong, and does a great job overall, it did struggle to keep the humidity up when we were hit with a cold snap. To be fair, the temps were -15F at night with -40F windchills, so the furnace was pumping out very dry air A LOT. It could still keep it near 40% humidity across the room, so I’d say that’s pretty good. If you live in an extremely cold climate, you might need a little more, or better insulation! Now that our temperatures have come back to normal in the 20’s/30’s, it keeps up just fine. I have it holding at around 55% humidity. The fan is pretty quiet on low to mid settings. It does get to a noticeable level when it cranks up near high. I have it in the dining room adjacent to the living room, and I sometimes turn it to manual and lower the fan speed while watching a movie. 90% of the time I don’t really notice it. The only laughable thing I found it in the maintenance section of the manual. They say you need to completely clean the water tank every 3 days. Ya…like that’s going to happen. They have to know that nobody is going to tear down the until every 3 days all winter. They also have to know that this isn’t even necessary. I hope this is a case of someone being overzealous with their manual and not a get out of warranty free card for the manufacturer. Either way, there is no way I’m cleaning that tank every 3 days. Overall it seems to be a great product. Time will tell whether or not it keeps running. It is strong enough for the main living spaces of my first floor and is easy to operate. Other than not including the pump spung and trying to tell me to clean it every 3 days, I’m liking what I’ve got.

Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier is a bulky but quiet machine. I like that it is programmable straight out of your phone and through Alexa/Google. Set-up was not complicated but it could be better. It was easy to get the compactly packed machine out of the box. The components were nested inside each other. So, when it is time to tuck away the humidifier in summer, it can be nested away nicely. The directions were not hard to follow. However, the text-font of the manual is really tiny and images are extremely small. This is surprising because there are loads of white space around the text and images. I missed seeing a link to a video containing the set-up process. I did find a Canadian review video that helped with a question I had about the set-up. An official user manual video would be nice. Questions about ideal placement, ideal humidity, maintenance, and so on were not easy to find in the manual. I do not mind that the filters need to be changed pretty frequently. But information about where to buy them from should be more readily available within the user manual. It is not easy to roll away the machine into the kitchen or bathroom for tank refills. There were, however, no spills during the rolling process when the water was filled to MAX. The tank needed to be refilled after around 30 hours, but I guess it depends on the weather. The programming was easy with the app. However, I wish there was the option of start and end time for a certain setting. That can avoid having to create multiple program settings. The air quality is now better both on my first floor (where I placed it) and on the second floor. It seems to be keeping the humidity at around 50%, which is very comfortable for us at this time. Would certainly recommend it to friends.

I got this humidifier because I wanted a unit I could control from anywhere and that would keep the humidity level pretty steady. This seemed to be the right pick. When I unpacked the unit, it was packaged well with the filters in individual bags. There's also a cleaning brush. When I continued unpacking, inside the water tank I found a dark gray bag. I have a 7 year old Hermann's tortoise who likes humidity so admittedly this is not my first humidifier. None of the others came with a bag. I set it aside and kept going. It also comes with a long plastic hose. More on that later. There are several steps to assembling it, but they're pretty easy. It's just a little time consuming because you have to literally unwrap and unbag everything. But that wasn't a problem because that means the filters are clean. After assembling it and making sure everything was correct, I inserted the hose through the large hole inside and toward the back of the unit and put the other end over the faucet and turned the water on. It took a couple of minutes because the hose is kinked inside the wrapping, but once the water started flowing the hose straightened out and it worked great. It was so easy to fill. This unit has a huge 6 gallon tank. That hose is a life and back saver. After filling the unit and turning it on I set it up on my home WIFI which was very easy once I downloaded the app on my phone. I set the humidity to 45% and let it go. A few hours later, I went to check on it and discovered that for some unknown reason the humidity was 60% and not 45% as I had set. There was nothing else running to humidify that room. Luckily, having the humidity that high isn't a huge problem for me, but for some it could be. I double and triple checked everything couldn't find a reason. This same scenario keeps happening. All I do is keep watch on it and make sure it has water. The big tank comes in handy. Back to the bag I mentioned. I read further in the instructions and there are instructions on how to store the unit including running dry mode which dries out the filters, taking the unit apart and assembling it differently to make it smaller which is very easy to do and storing it in that gray bag! YAY!! This is really a great unit and I highly recommend it. I would just keep an eye on the humidity level to make sure it stays where you need it.

The Levoit 6000s is a large humidifier capable of being used to raise the humidity in medium to large sized homes. The unit consists of four core components, a large 6-gallon water tank as the base that has attached rollers for ease of movement (as most people will have difficulty lifting a filled water tank), a support frame which sits above the tank and snaps into the top of the tank, a wick filter frame with four individual filters and a powered top component which contains a fan, controls and a display. The design is quite ingenious as the powered portion (top) pulls air and water into the filters via the filter frame and dispenses humid air through the top. What is really a desirable feature with this unit is it DOES NOT produce a mist and thus if you have hard water, you do not see mineral dust on the surfaces of your home. Mineral dust is a problem I have run into with traditional humidifiers. The unit can be controlled from the top panel, and also pairs with a smartphone app. The smartphone app provides a good history of your indoor and if you setup the smartphone with location services enabled it will gather the currently outdoor levels via the internet. The app also provides full control of the unit. Also included is a filling hose which attaches to your faucet to aid in filling the tank, the hose and faucet fitting had me do a double take, as it is visually interesting. The unit also has a humidity sensor so it can cycle the unit fan to bring humidity levels up to your desired level. I used this humidifier during a bit of a cold dry spell in the southeast US, setting the unit to fifty percent relative humidity level and it mostly kept up and never got below five percent of the level I set. The humidifier started to cycle off and on less as the weather changed and the outdoor humidity increased. Over the course of four days I had to refill the tank at once, I was surprised that it used so much of the six gallon capacity. The fan in this unit was a bit loud at times when really pumping humidity into the air, however it always sounded controlled. The unit also has a sleep mode which reduces the fan noise as well as turning off the blue colored LED display to ensure the light does not disturb you. The unit will remind you when it needs to be cleaned, after three days it started to notify me that maintenance was needed. Constant maintenance is needed with most humidifiers to ensure bacteria or mold does not form on the components and it is no different here. A small brush is also provided to enable you to clean the filters of any mineral buildup, mine had none. The unit also has a dry mode which helps to dry out and prepare the wick filters for user maintenance. The manual also mentions that the four filters should be replaced every 3 months, but depending on your usage you may get more life out of the filters by promptly cleaning them and allowing them to dry out when humidity is not needed to prevent mold growth >>> Pros >> large tank >> strong fan >> humidity sensor >> easily disassembled >>for storage within the supplied fabric bag. <<< Cons: << ongoing issues with availability of the wick filters. << maybe a bit heavy some folks when the tank if full

When I received the Levoit - Superior 6000S and opened the box I was impressed. I’m a stickler for how a product is packaged, and it seems to never fail that if a company takes the time to produce a quality package then more than likely the product will be a hit. This is true for Levoit! The assembly is simple, it took longer to get the plastic off than it did to assemble it. I did take the time to clean the tank even though it was not dirty as the directions suggested that you do. It comes w/ a hose that you can attach to you bathroom/kitchen faucet and fill the tank. It holds 6 gallons of cold water. The app was a breeze to install and setup and connect to wi-fi was also simple. The app does take a little time to get used to and understand what/where to navigate, but once you get that down this machine is very, very well made. I set the humidity to 50% and w/in a few minutes it had reached that level. I then set it to auto and it ran for a little over 3 days until I had to re-fill the tank. It has made a HUGE difference in the air in our entire home, and the casters that are already installed make it a mobile humidifier and refilling the tank that much easier. I can tell a difference, especially when I sleep that the air is better. It has been extremely cold in Virginia the last few days w/ snow/sleet and our home is heated by a dual-stage system, a heat pump and propane furnace. The air gets extremely dry when the furnace is running the majority of the day instead of the heat pump, since I received this and began to use it I can really tell the difference it makes. It comes w/ a small brush to help w/ the cleaning of the tank and other parts, and it also has a reminder to dry the filters which is a plus. With the app and the control panel you know how effective the filters are and when to dry them. If and when you need to store the Levoit Superior 6000S it literally stores inside itself and comes w/ a bag to store it in. I am very impressed w/ the quality and simplicity of this evaporative humidifier and I would highly recommend it

I have dry heat in my house from an electric furnace, and I constantly have to moisturize my skin excessively! I had a few different humidifiers, and they would either run out of water really quick, or they will leave a big puddle of water wherever this unit is at. So when I had an opportunity to get this humidifier, I jumped at the chance! My first thought about this humidifier went assembling it, was it I thought maybe they had too many separate pieces to put together. It took me a few extra minutes because I had to realize, that the very last piece had to be turned in the opposite direction of which it was facing at the time. So next, I had to fill it with water, which was a little difficult because the wheels kept spinning in like a circle instead of straight forward or backwards. After everything was finished, I finally got a chance to use the humidifier. I've used it now for approximately three days and already noticed a difference in my skin! I haven't had to refill it yet, but I'm sure I will have too soon. I also noticed that my nose isn't extremely dry when I wake up. Some of my past humidifiers cost a lot more than this one, and was much less effective and gave me a lot of problems. I also really like the app that you download, because you can turn your unit on or off anytime you want and you can see the humidity in your home from the app! So far so good, but I really think I'm gonna Love having this humidifier around!

The Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier is by far the best humidifier I have ever owned. It has a 6 gallon water tank. The water tank which is the base of the unit sits on top of 4 wheels, making it  easy to push anywhere around the floor. Filling the unit could not get any easier. All you have to do is push the base over to any sink and attached the included funnel and hose. The funnel is a soft rubber that is easy to wrap around any faucet. While the funnel will fit around a tub faucet, the funnel does not make an airtight enclosure and still needs gravity to feed the water through the tube, so a tub faucet is not recommended as the height is not ideal. The best feature of this humidifier is the way that it introduces the water into the air. It uses 4 separate wick filters that sit above the water tank. Water is pulled from the bottom and trickled down over the filters. A lot of other humidifiers place their filters in the water. This causes the filters to stay wet all the time, which not only breaks the filter down quicker but can also lead to the growth of bacteria and mold. Filters that sit in the water also do not get the same coverage of  water across the filter area either, making this process less efficient. Levoit does not recommend using their humidifier  on slanted surfaces because of the way the water is distributed over the filters, plus the unit is on wheels.  Levoit's filters last longer and stay cleaner because the humidifier has a dry feature specifically for the filters. You can  set the dry feature on or off, and even change it's setting on the unit, or through the app. Drying the filters helps to prolong the filter's use and prevent mold and bacteria from growing. Because of the capacity and ease to fill this humidifier, I do use tap water. However, we have very hard water in  my area, so I also use a water treatment drop in. The manufacturer doesn't say that it is necessary, and doesn't claim that you have to use distilled water either, but it just makes maintenance a bit easier.  Unlike other cool water and warm mist humidifiers this evaporative humidifier doesn't leave surfaces around the  unit wet. I was constantly having to place towels around my other humidifiers to help collect the run off of the  falling mist. Neither my furniture nor my floor has gotten wet from using this humidifier, and I leave it running  all day and every night. I have dry eye syndrome so having this in my room definitely lessens the morning symptoms. The winter months are typically worse for dry eye and my sinuses because of the natural lack of  moisture in the air. It is amazing how well this unit increases the humidity in the entire room, and not just in front of it. Technically this could be used to maintain a whole floor of a house, but I use it just for my bedroom. I will  probably get a second one for the other parts of the house. There are several different humidity settings that be activated through the app or the unit itself. There are presets for "Auto Home" and "Auto Away" in which the unit has a specific humidity level and fan setting that it uses for the current temperature in your home. If you want a little more control, there is a regular auto mode that you can adjust the humidity level and fan speeds of the unit, the unit will shut off temporarily when the target humidity is met. It even has a sleep mode that lowers the fan and turns off the display lights.  It is very easy to use the app and connect the unit. All it takes is your wifi password, the app does all the rest for you. With the app you can turn on or turn off the unit while away from the house, and even set the humidity level.  The app even makes it easier to change the settings from bed if you feel you need it a little more or less humid.

When I say it’s worth every penny, I mean it. With the rising costs of electricity, any assistance in keeping our heating bill in check is worth its weight in gold (quite literally). Using this humidifier in a central location in our house immediately affected the humidity level in our entire house! We have tried in line humidifiers, connected directly to our HVAC and even with them running 24/7 they never achieved the results that one 24 hour period did with this humidifier. So lets start from the beginning. Unpacking and physical setup were simple and easy. Setting the app was also straight forward, but it took a couple times for the firmware update to take. I had to turn the machine off, remove it from the app, and then link it again. That did the trick! Also, if you have a 2.4ghz/5Ghz mesh network, you may have to do some adjustments to your network settings. I would recommend for simplicity (and safety) setting up an IOT (internet of things) only subnetwork that is only running on 2.4ghz. This keeps your personal devices ( cellphones, laptops, tablets, etc) disconnected from all your other smart devices that can be more susceptible to hacking attacks. It also also IOT/smart devices a network to run on their own, which divides traffic and available IP addresses. But I digress. Getting this thing in the dead of winter was a godsend! Once I turned it on, I set it to reach 47% humidity. It took about 24 hours and 8-10 gallons of water, but it is comfortably sitting at that point now and is not constantly running. Obviously it may take longer due to environmental variables, but it will get there and maintain. We have a Nest thermostat that allows us to have the circulator fan kick on the HVAC from time to time. I think this helps disperse the humid air to the rest of the house. We are on well water. And while I know the manufacturer said it can take water straight from the tap, we opted to use water from our reverse osmosis system. This is straight H20 that has been filtered to remove any contaminants. This helps keep our unit cleaner, longer. I did recently clean the device following the instructions in the owner’s manual online. It is very simple and was done in less than five minutes. There are a couple of parts that have to be replaced after a time. The four blue filters at the top and the round, white inline filter that sits on the end of the hose in the tank. Both can be washed out during the cleaning process, but it is recommended by the manufacturer that they be replaced during the times listed in the owner’s manual. For the life of me I couldn’t find these replacement filters. They are not offered on the company’s app, or store. I contacted Levoit and they immediately responded giving me links to purchase the filters off Amazon. You can find them by searching “LEVOIT 4-Pack Premium Filter for Superior 6000S” and “LEVOIT 10-Pack Top Fill Humidifier Replacement Filters”. They’re not very expensive which surprised me, as other air cleaning devices we’ve purchased in the past have a low-cost device but the cost of the filters is exorbitant! Not the case with Levoit! Well done! Our machine has be running for nearly a month now. I will warn again that if your house is dry, it may take A LOT of water at the beginning. But after running for a bit it will slow down. We now keep our house 3-4 degrees cooler in the winter because it feels so comfortable and even throughout the house. That is definitely putting money back in our pocket. I would HIGHLY recommend this humidifier to anyone looking to make their home more comfortable!

This review covers the Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier. I looked forward to receiving the Levoit because of the rather dry air caused by the heater during the winter season here in the south. Although I enjoy the cooler weather, the dryness always plays havoc with my sinuses and skin all throughout the winter months. Unpacking and assembling the Levoit humidifier was rather unremarkable, that is, other than making sure a couple of components faced in the correct direction, and making sure the siphon hose was properly placed, the entire process was simple and easy. There is a Quick Start Guide included with the enclosed literature, and it was more than sufficient to get even me through the setup. After assembling all the components (which took right at ten minutes), it was time to fill the water reservoir. Filling the reservoir utilizes a rather unique system in which a rubber grip attaches to a faucet and allows water to run down a plastic hose into the reservoir itself. I wasn’t too sure about how well the rubber grip would grip the faucet, but it worked like a charm. The reservoir holds six gallons of water. My water pressure was a bit low, so I had time to brew a cup of tea while I waited for the Levoit to fill up completely. After it was filled, I wheeled it to the living room which is the most central location in my house. The Levoit humidifier is rated for 3000 sqft. My house is nowhere near that large, so I knew it would be more than adequate. After I put it where I wanted, I plugged it in, and according to the directions, turned it on. The Levoit humidifier comes with a well-lit display panel located at the top of the unit. There are several different functions to choose from: Power, “Dry Mode,” Sleep Mode, Automatic Mode, Fan Control, Humidity Level, Display On/Off, and Timer. Also, by holding the Power button for several seconds, you can activate the Wi-Fi connection function. After familiarizing myself with all the different functions (outlined in the included User’s Manual), I tried out each one. It’s really amazing just how much control Levoit had designed the user to have over this unit. The user can set it to fully automatic which allows the humidifier to do everything, or the user can control everything from the desired level of humidity, how long they want it to run, even the fan speed. Speaking of which, there are three different fan speeds to choose from, Low, Medium, and High. Levoit boasts of “Ultra Quiet” operation, and in the lowest fan speed this is true. However, Medium and High are quite noticeable, even across the room. However, if the television is on, or if you are having a conversation, you most likely won’t notice it so much. Levoit states a full tank of water will last up to 72 hours on the lowest setting. As I stated before, I have been testing this unit out for several days. I have had it on Automatic mode. Due to the dryness of the air, it seems like two days is about as long as I can get before refill is needed. This doesn’t mean I let it run all the way out, but not knowing if what was left would last the night, I chose to fill it up before going to bed. The refill process is simple…just lift off the top of the unit, attach the refill hose to a faucet, and fill it up. This is where I am super disappointed with Levoit. For the most part, the humidifier appears to be very well constructed. The parts seem durable, and I get the impression that the unit will last several seasons. However, for whatever reason, Levoit chose to equip the unit with some of the “cheapest” wheels possible. As I wheeled the unit from the sink back to the living room, the wheels bogged down under the weight of the water. I was literally afraid that the unit would tip over, so I had to bend over and push it from the base to prevent a possible disaster. This was ever so much more noticeable on the area rug. I had to fold the rug over and let the unit roll on the floor. The results have been quite good so far. The air in the house is noticeably more “friendly.” After only a day, I noticed my sinuses didn’t feel so dry and irritated. Even my skin was noticeably relieved. The one thing I was most concerned about was what affect the added humidity would have on the furniture, flooring, and the rest of the interior. I have noticed that everything is good…no moisture anywhere, even on the furniture closest to the unit. BOTTOM LINE I have to admit I was most concerned about the introduction of additional moisture to the interior of my house. Levoit has done an outstanding job in designing this unit, and they absolutely know what they are doing. The humidifier has worked wonders on the overall living quality inside my home…not just the living room where the unit is located, but all throughout the house. For the most part, the noise of the unit is unnoticeable on its lowest setting. And the lowest setting is really all I have needed after the humidity level reached its initial goal. The wheel issue is a major distraction from the overall experience. I can’t help but wonder how many units have already toppled over. Six gallons of water can do a lot of damage. Would I recommend the Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier to my friends and family? I would have to give a huge resounding “YES!!” Even in spite of the wheel issue. The unit does its job and does it extremely well. It is a well-built unit, built for several years of good use.

I haven’t used a humidifier in my house for years. The ones mounted on the furnace required much maintenance, and the portable units were difficult to fill and required constant filter replacements. I thought I’d give the Levoit 6000S a shot and I’m glad I did. First, it’s really easy to fill. It uses regular tap water and is on rollers so it rolls right up to the sink. Included is a rubber hose with a ‘faucet gripper’ end which grabs and holds onto the sink faucet so you don’t have to hold it there. Of course, like most everything today it’s wi-fi capable and the app makes it so easy to use. You can set the unit a number of ways. You can set the target humidity level, set the speed of the fan if you’re not happy with the self-setting. You can set a sleep mode which will keep the fan low at bedtime or turn it off altogether. There’ s a “Dry Mode” which will extend the life of the wick filters. All these features can be controlled by the app. Of course, if the unit runs out of water, it turns itself off. I was delighted to see the filters are easily removed and WASHABLE, so they don’t need constant replacement. Most importantly, I found the unit humidifies the house very efficiently. It arrived during a cold spell in Chicago, so I could actually see how effective it was. I’m a ‘weather geek’ so I have several humidity indicators around the house. In just a few minutes the humidity in my room started rising, and not long after I saw the humidity in other rooms in the house showed an increase as well. The only negative I could find to talk about, is that the clear ‘tube window’ at the front of the unit which shows the remaining water in the tank is very hard to use. The problem is since the water you put in the unit is clear, I needed the light on my phone shining in the window to see the water level. Since that’s not the fault of the humidifier, I really can’t blame Levoit, lol. Bottom line, if you want a well-made, easy to clean, use and operate device to help humidify your home, I think you’ll be happy with the Superior 6000S.

I was skeptical of the utility of a 'smart' humidifier, but after using this for a few days, I must say that it's quite nice! Is it necessary, not really, but it's a nice feature to have. Much like a smart thermostat, it's just a nice feature to have, and they complement each other nicely to control the air in your home. Ultimately, this is a high-capacity humidifier which you can set up and forget for a long time. It does have settings for timed use, night-time darkening of the display, schedules, and more, but what I find to be the primary setting to use is just to say, "keep the humidity at 40%". When you set the percentage, it simply comes on when the air is too dry. It's really just that simple. Another nice feature if you live in an area that can be quite humid during certain times of year is that it has a "dry" setting where it will run it's fan without generating humidity in order to dry out the four filters that are built in so that you can store it without worrying about things growing and needing to be cleaned or replaced before you set it up again. It's also a very nice consideration that they have included a hose to fill the tank indoors. I don't know if you've tried to lift 6 gallons of water before, but it's quite heavy. With the hose, you can just put the rubber fitting over your sink nozzle and the end into the tank and fill it up without needing to lift it or worry about spilling. That being said, it's on casters which are nice if you have hard floors, but not so great for carpet. If you plan on putting this in a room with carpet, you may want to get furniture sliders to let it glide across.

Got this in and immediately setup. Setup was intuitive and easy, Filling with water was made especially easy using the water tube. not having to life the base up to the cabinet or use a pitcher to move water was a really nice touch. Wish it did store the tube in the machine some how. I ran this at 40% humidy and didn't see much movement on that measurement but it ran out of water. The app did alert me that it was dry and I promptly refilled. The second container did increase my RH from 32% to 40% this time. I guess the wick filters had to become saturated?? Wheels on the bottom permit the easy roll to the sink. Touch panel on the top is responsive. App is easy to use and notifications work well. The unit was a bit larger than i expected but we put it in the corner and its running well. I do have a thermostat about 12ft away and the 2 are only about 3points difference. I do love that I don't have any condensation along the wall or near the unit like other units. The fan can be a tad on the louder side but its tolerable and only when wide open. So far, so good= Recommended!

Living in Minnesota in the winter dry air is a real problem. Static shocks are a common occurrence. Finding a good humidifier to keep the humidity level at a comfortable point is a necessity. The Levolt Superior 6000s definitely does the job. What I like about this humidifier: 1). Size - it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it is collapsible to store when it is not needed. 2). Portability - having had other humidifiers the ability to roll them on wheels is unique. This one has sturdy wheels. 3). Remote App - smart home devices are becoming more common. I have space heaters and other items that are controlled this way. The ability to set up schedules, monitor water levels, and turn the unit off and on remotely is a fantastic option. What could be different: 1) water refill - typically the water will last 24 hours which isn’t too bad. You just need to plan on filling it daily. The real problem is carrying the water tank for refills. It can be awkward and you need to be careful not to spill. Overall this is an excellent humidifier and I would definitely recommend d it.

GOOD Large reservoir capacity Controllable from mobile app Quiet on low fan speed BAD Limited customization options for humidifier operation Mobile app requires creating account, even when controlling it locally No carry handles on water tank Power cord is a little short DETAILS Evaporative coolers like the 6000S don't dump as much water into the air as quickly as ultrasonic humidifiers do, but they have the advantage of not making a mist cloud that can damage nearby furniture or carpet. However, with the size of the 6000S and how much air it can move over its pads, it can raise the humidity fairly quickly. The two big selling points are the 6 gallon tank and smart connectivity features, but both those features have significant flaws. Levoit claims the thing is "easy to refill," but that all depends on your house layout, where you put the humidifier, and which faucet you use to refill it. Ideally, you roll the humidifier to your sink, set aside the top fan assembly, run the hose down into the tank through the filter assembly, fill it, then roll it back in place. However, if you have a lot of carpet, those four articulating wheels on the bottom don't work so well. The tank also lacks carry handles. As the tank alone weighs over 50 lbs when full, moving it up and down stairs is a major hassle. And if you need to remove the filter assembly, it's awkward to set it aside due to the exposed filters and wet hose hanging off the bottom. They may be small complaints, and they certainly don't apply to everyone's situation, but these small niggles add up to big frustration if you have to deal with them every few days. In order to use the humidifier with the mobile application ( VeSync ), you must register an account with Levoit/VeSync, which is just another password to remember and another source of spam email. If you want to operate the humidifier remotely while away from your home, an account is fine, but it's completely ridiculous if you only want to manage things locally. There's a decided lack of options to customize how the humidifier runs. Four modes are available, both on the mobile app and device control panel. Manual sets the fan to one of three static speeds. The app shows 10 speeds, but it's incorrect ( speeds 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9 are all the same ). In Humidity mode the fan will turn on and off automatically trying to maintain a set humidity %. Auto mode is similar, except it uses a preset table that changes humidity % target depending on the temperature. Sleep mode is the same as Manual on low, except it turns the control panel on the humidifier off so it doesn't light up a room at night. You can also set up schedules, such as turning the humidifier on in the morning, turning the display off at night, etc. While the fan is very quiet on low, it's noticeable on medium and quite loud on high. The Humidity and Auto modes tend to use fairly aggressive fan speeds, keeping the fan on medium or high. Unfortunately there's no way to customize these operating modes, like limiting fan speed on Auto or setting a humidity target on Manual, etc. That's unacceptable to me for a humidifier that costs $250 ( as of this writing ). The VeSync mobile app does allow more custom and complex operation, but it's not fast or easy to do. You create "Smart Scenes" which are programmatic if/then functions. If certain criteria are met ( a time of day, change in room humidity, etc ) then do certain actions ( turn off humidifier, change to other mode of operation, and more ). To its credit, VeSync is designed to link multiple smart home appliances and can make a very integrated system. However there's no instruction manual for it or online guides to explain exactly how the triggers work. Instead you have to search through the help forums visible in the app to find the answer to your questions. In doing so I found that there's no way to set Scene priority. If multiple Scenes can be triggered on at a given moment, it's random as to which will be triggered. This means you need to be very careful in how you set your Scene criteria, or risk having the humidifier constantly changing modes. In the long term, there's also the question of maintenance costs for the S6000. New filter pads are $40 for a set. While the filters are washable, the manual recommends replacing them every few months. Thankfully the humidifier has a dry mode feature. If enabled, whenever the humidifier turns off, the water pump will stop while the fan continues to spin for 30 - 120 minutes. This dries out the filters when not in use, which prevents the growth of mold and helps them last longer. I don't think the S6000 is a "bad" humidifier. It just doesn't seem up to the current retail cost. Individually, my complaints with it are fairly small, but added together it shows a lack of thought and finish on the product, like having only a 5-foot power cable. If you're not too specific on how you want it to run, or if moderate fan noise isn't an issue to you, it will probably suit your needs fine. For those that have more specific requirements, or that need more precise control over room humidity, you'll probably be disappointed given the asking price.
