Portable Small Cool Mist Humidifiers 250ML - USB Desktop Humidifier for Plants, Office, Car, Baby Room with Auto Shut Off & Night Light - Quiet Mini Humidifier (White)

Everything about this item is perfect for a personal bedside humidifier (size, sleek design, features, quiet mist), but it completely stopped working after a few months of me only using it at night. I tried cleaning it and changing the filter, but no go. The light doesnt even turn on! Other reviews mentioned this flaw with the product, but I decided to gamble on it anyway. I’m so disappointed because it really is perfect in every other way. I may try to contact the company to see if I can return it for a free replacement (that is how much I love it), but it’s been over 30 days.

We own THREE of these for a YEAR now. I don’t bother writing reviews because I’m too busy. But I respect this company and have been through well over a dozen humidifiers as I have lived over 30 years in Minnesota, which gets dry in the winter time. This humidifier has been by my favorite by far! It’s easy to use. Less maintenance to clean; I just soak in distilled white vinegar and it wipes off clean with paper towel/wash cloth and rarely scrubbing with a brush. I like to be able to choose the amount of humidity released. I can have it running all night and day and only need to refill at night again if I want humidity at night and that’s even at one of its highest amounts of release at level 3! I like that it’s super quiet for my kids’ room and mine; I’m an incredibly light sleeper!! I REALLY appreciate the feature to turn off the humidifier light as my kids have a main nightlight or be able to leave it on as their primary night light. I think the price is fair. We don’t wake up with dry and stuffy noses. The more I learn about how humidity helps with reducing the effects of colds and sinuses the more consistent I am to keeping it running all day and night. I’ll be buying one for our two living rooms where the kids play the most during the day. I took one star off because my ONLY annoyance is that the plug-in has a blue light on it (which is nice to know that it’s plugged in and working) but it’s so bright that I need to cover it up or it illuminates too much that is a bothersome to our nightly sleep. So wish that feature could be changed - dimmed. It’s not enough for me to not buy another one because I have definitely recommended it to family and friends!

Used the silver floating fish to combat bacterial growth but did not see vast improvement. Still keep the lit tapped shut. This unit is a little too bright at night. I have had to also tape over the resevoir and on button to reduce the light at night. I think it is just a cheap unit now that I have another brand. Compared with my new unit, this Geniani seems cheap. Spend the extra $ and get a better unit. This unit does unplug in thr back which I have found I like. That is the only positive after this whole time. I only use it because I paid too much for it. **Updated after a year (above)** Not sure how but I found a live cricket inside my unit. It must have come from the ceiling and fell inside. It is up on a counter about 4 feet tall. I was grossed out. Also found a dead moth inside. Promptly taped up the opening. Now I just take off the lid and add distilled water that way. Not a biggie. Do not like the hole on top for adding water as its open to everything else as well. Loss of 1 star. I will try a different unit next time. The little oil diffuser is a gimmick. Cannot smell a thing. There is a little gap on top as the lid just sits on top. Minor issues basically. Overall I like it. Do not like that I have to block the top off but this is an attractive unit. It hardly makes any noise (as compared to my Vicks brand machines) and I like that I can toggle between less and more moisture (although honestly it doesnt seem like any difference). It is easy to clean. I like that it comes apart into 2 distinct units. I clean my units regularly with bleach water, use a little fish cleaner inside and NEVER use tap water! I can go 2 weeks in between cleanings and have used the same units for years! The distilled water is a MUST! Just an observation from reading reviewers comments who obviously use tap water.

This little humidifier works wonderfully. It starts up right away, disperses out water evenly, makes a very low misting sound that you can barely hear, and is easy to control. I see a difference in my skin and air quality after using it. I’d definitely recommend using it if you’re prone to nosebleeds in dry weather like me. The operating instructions on the other hand- could be simplified. They were a bit confusing, but I figured my way around it. I didn’t like that a power adapter wasn’t included with this product, but I still found a way to make it work for me.

I bought this to take with me to work because I am constantly dry especially this harsh beginning to winter! I love it!! Of course it is not as effective as a full size humidifier but it has made enough difference that I don’t wake up feeling dry! Really loved this and recommend it for the price!!

I thought it could be used without keeping it plugged in.

Easy too load. Easy clean!!

Editing 2/4/21 The motor on this died yesterday. Kind of disappointed about it. I would have expected this to last a few years but that didnt happen. I bought another brand this time around to see if thatll last longer. I have probably bought 20 humidifiers over the years. Each one had pros and cons. The worst were the humidifiers with filters because after a year or two the style changed and the filters werent available anymore for the older models. Frustrating and a waste of money in the long run. In addition all the humidifiers had small fill holes and cleaning the tanks were hard. But with forced hot air heat not having a humidifier in the bedrooms means waking up with a headache every single morning so once again I was forced to find a humidifier. I put this off thinking Id find the same old same old. When I saw this one I was skeptical but hopeful as I added it to my cart. I figured worst case Id be returning it when it didnt work well. Well Ill start off by saying I wont be returning this one. It was super easy to set up and fill. The control button is right in the front and easy to access. There are several levels so you can set for a little humidity or more depending on how much moisture you need. Its simple to add additional water right through the top so refilling is a snap. The best parts? Cleaning is a snap as you just wipe out the reserve. No more arm gymnastics trying to get through a tiny hole in an awkward tank. AND theres no filter. Yes no filter to replace over and over until the stop making them. The household water is hard so Ill end up with white powder on the file cabinet where the humidifier is located but Im good with it. Easier to wipe down the surface then worry about filters. So if you are looking for an easy to use humidifier that really works stop searching and order this one. You wont be disappointed.

Its a fantastic humidifier, no question about that, at least for me. My only issue so far is that the smart setting, where the system will detect how humid the air is and adjust output itself, seems to not be working correctly. I could change it to the smart setting and no mist comes out. The lights will indicate that the room is too humid, so it wont output any mist. While thats fine, if I move the unit even just a few inches, all of a sudden it thinks the room is bone dry and will go through a gallon of water over the course of 30 hours (I timed it, and it just ran out a few minutes before Im writing this after fully filling it up). Other than that annoyance, the unit works amazingly well. Only reason it isnt 5 stars is because the smart mode doesnt really work, at least for me (maybe a defective unit for all I know).

Bought this product in last Sept 2022 and it worked well. Didn’t use it every day but when I did it was nice and quiet and shut off after a while like it was supposed to. But it only lasted maybe 6 months, 7 max. Now it does nothing. It doesn’t turn on at all. Don’t waste your money * UPDATE- they sent me a new one after I posted this review. Haven’t used it often enough but the few times I’ve used it it seems to be working.
