FABULETTA Top Fill Humidifiers for Bedroom, 5L Cool Mist Air Humidifiers with Remote Control, 3 Mist Levels, Essential Oil Diffuser, 2.4Mhz Ultrasonic, Auto Mode, Quiet Sleep ＆ Night Light(White)

Just took this humidifier out of the box 4 days ago, set it up in 5 to 10 minutes, and started running it. My purpose for getting this is a little bit different than many others - I'm using it in my "music" room to keep my instruments (various types of bagpipes) "hydrated". So, keeping the RH at about 50% continually is important, especially in the dry winter months. Will supplement this review, if necessary, after having used the humidifier at length, but here is a summary of initial thoughts:* Overall: I'm VERY happy with this unit. It is clean, quiet and effective.* Directions for use: Very well written, organized and easy to understand.* Set Up: Very easy, requiring 5 to 10 minutes maximum.* Logistics: Set up for use in a closed-off 12' x 12' room; set atop a credenza at one end of the room.* Appearance: I purchased the black (as opposed to white) unit. Looks great in the room.* Operation: So far, so good! My goal is to maintain the relative humidity in this room at 50%, so I set the auto function accordingly. It was extremely easy to set the humidity target to the appropriate level. I filled the tank completely before the initial start, and it ran on the auto function continuously for 3 days and still had a little water left in the tank when I refilled. The relative humidity in the rest of the house has been in the low 30s, but this unit has successfully maintained the humidity level in my music room at 48% to 50%, which I've confirmed with a separate hygrometer on the other side of the room from this unit. For the first hour or so, there was a difference between the RH reading on the unit and that on my hygrometer, but I think that is because the air around the unit quickly became saturated, while that on the other side of the room was less so. But within a short time, both humidity readings became much closer (within a % or two), and have maintained so. Refilling the tank is very easy and convenient. It is easy enough to see the water level remaining in the tank in order to anticipate need for refilling. I simply lifted the top off, poured distilled water directly into the tank, and returned the top. Love that I don't have to carry a filled tank to/from a water supply. The unit is nice and quiet. If there is absolutely no other sound I can hear it running, but mostly, I don't even notice it. I would have no issue at all sleeping with this unit in a bedroom.Convenience: For my purposes, I don't really have the need to use the timer function, sleep mode, or the three mist levels, so I can't comment directly on them. Though the remote control is less important for my purposes, I did confirm that it works well and is easy to use. I can see how this might be very convenient for use in the bedroom while sleeping.Just some FYIs:* Customer Reviews/Ratings: I did some fairly extensive investigating of various humidifier options with a similar level of functionality as this one (i.e. auto mode, built in hygrometer, auto shut off, top fill, easy set up). For each' I compared customer satisfaction ratings. For more highly rated units, I found that roughly all of them had approximately 20% ratings of 1, 2 or 3 stars, and 80% 4 or 5 stars. Though only based upon 100+ reviews, this unit had noticeably higher ratings with only 6% being 2 or 3 stars (there were no 1 star reviews), and 94% 4s and 5s, with 83% 5s (significantly better than any other unit I investigated).* Price: Compared to the units I was investigating, this humidifier was priced quite reasonably, placing lower on the cost spectrum than most of it's comparable competitors.* I will amend this review in the future if I encounter any issues or concerns as time passes.

I started using a humidifier to breath easier while I sleep and wake up less congested, so I use a humidifier paired with an air purifier. Also, my dog has a heart condition and his vet said to keep him hydrated by using a humidifier (and of course making sure he has fresh clean water every day). So keeping a humidifier clean and stocked with distilled water is well worth the small trouble for these benefits! This humidifier rules because:- It’s super easy to clean! Keeping a humidifier clean is VERY important, because microorganisms such as mold and bacteria grow quickly and easily in water, even if it is distilled or filtered! You should unplug, pour in a few cups of vinegar and allow to soak for about a half hour once a week, I always do it on Sundays so I remember. Dump vinegar, rinse with water and sit upside down to dry out. In addition to that I pour out old water each day and put in fresh water, always distilled only! Distilled water has no minerals that will leave build up in the unit. If the store is out of distilled, I use spring water. Just never ever use tap water!! Too much junk in there for these devices.- It is easily filled on the top! Many humidifiers are bottom loading, so you have to flip them over and unscrew a cap to fill them. Of course, there is always a little risk of leaking in that scenario, so I much prefer top filling. Plus it’s way easier!- This guy has Auto mode, so set it and forget it! Of course, the higher you set your humidity, the more water you will use. If I set it for 65, it uses one full gallon of distilled water each day.- It has sleep mode, a remote control and a nice dim night light!- It’s a good size for larger areas. I have it in the living room, which of course opens up to my kitchen and dining room and den. Since that’s a big area for one humidifier, I don’t expect every room to reach the 65% that I set the unit for, but it sure helps to raise the humidity in my home!- The unit is very pleasing to the eye! I have an Airthereal air purifier on the other side of the room and it matches it perfectly!- The unit is white, which is very important! If there is bacteria growing in your unit, you wouldn’t see it in a black humidifier! Always buy a white one even if the black ones look cooler! My first humidifier would get a musty smell sometimes and pink bacterial growth was clearly visible on the white background. I got rid of that one because it was growing bacteria no matter how often I cleaned it. I read somewhere that some plastics grow bacteria faster than others, but I don’t know. I do know that I haven’t had that issue with this Fabuletta!Anyway, this guy looks great, works great and is loaded with every feature you could want!Always use ONLY distilled out spring water to fill, and ONLY use vinegar to clean it!!!!! I use absolutely no nasty chemicals to clean my house, natural things only such as baking soda, tea tree oil, vinegar etc. Do not use bleach!!! You could damage the unit and end up inhaling residual bleach! Consider not using bleach and toxic chemicals for anything, they are horrible for you and the planet. So buy this Fabuletta, get a book on naturally cleaning your home if you don’t have one already while you’re on Amazon and enjoying a better life!

Runs quietly. Well made. Runs well. The lighted panel is bright. Cool mist runs well. Worth the money. Helps us breathe better.

It is reasonably inexpensive, yet quite effective.The directions are somewhat confusing, and to a degree are contradictory.

Love how it tells me my room is dehydrated.

(1) The hygrometer (measures humidity) is just a random number generator. On power-on, read 95%, when independent reliable hygrometer read 40%. Because it was so high, the humidistat mode wouldn't turn the device on when it needed to be on.(2) When calling for support, they do not pick up, rather tell you you're calling outside service hours (even though I called right in the middle of service hours).(3) After getting a photo showing their device reporting 83% and mine showing 44%, they had the audacity to say that all hygrometers are wildly inaccurate.(4) Today I filled it up, their hygrometer read 51%. Within 2 minutes it read 55%. With 10 minutes, 95%. This is physically impossible (independently measured humidity 50%).(5) After a week, I called, was told I was calling outside business hours, was told to leave a message, though there was not way to actually leave a message. It appears they look at caller ID, because I did get a call back from Anna within a few minutes.(6) All she was able to do was try and contact "tech" and told me they should get back to me within a day (or so).I give companies a chance to address issues that may be a defect in an individual device. These things happen and they should be responsive. But they were given a chance and ignored their customer.I'm going to be asking for a full refund.
