Helps with dry skin and bloody noses. We live in the northwestern part of the US, and dryness is a factor. This is a straightforward, easy to use humidifier. Setting up the app is also easy. I love the essential oil pad it comes with. It keeps to the humidity you set within the room- even with windows open. Easy to use- don't hesitate to buy if you're looking for an absolutely quiet humidifier.

I use two of these in my large plant room and they work great! I have one of this version, and one of the simpler models from Levoit, and both work great. Just comes down to whether you think you'll use all the added features, or just want a quality humidifier.

Easy to fill, and typically lasts about about two days before I need to refill again. I keep mine set to 70-80% humidity, and it does a great job keeping my room within that range.

Plants absolutely love it!

Cleaning isn't terribly difficult, but needs to be done regularly to prevent nasty gunk buildup in the base.

I'll state the pros first:

* Looks nice and sleek.
* Love the viewing window to check water level and the fact that it goes almost all the way to the bottom of the unit.
* Humidity sensor seems more accurate than most models I've tried. Still off by about 7-10% compared to external humidity sensor but a couple of units I've tried was off by as much as 20-25%.

CONS:

1. Top of list. If you set a target humidity level the unit as well as VeSync app does NOT allow you to also set the mist level! This is an absolute show stopper and I've already told Levoit they need to change this design ASAP.

2. Further to #1 above. This unit is designed to output LOW mist only when it gets within 5% or less of target humidity. END RESULT: it NEVER reaches the target humidity even inside a room which is far less than it is supposed to be able to handle! The low mist setting is simply NOT enough to do more than maintain current humidity so it is stuck at 4-6% BELOW the target humidity. It literally NEVER stops running because of this.

3. If I set it on manual I can control the mist level and it is able to reach the humidity I want with no problem. BUT then that defeats the whole purpose because I am not about to accept having to turn this thing on and off manually all day long.

Now compare this to the Levoit LV600S humidifier. On that unit you can set BOTH target humidity and mist level and as a result it is able to reach target humidity with no problem. BUT the problem with the LV600S is that the humidity sensor is wildly inaccurate. It gets into these modes where the humidity keeps going up even when the mist is OFF and sometimes goes DOWN when I turn the unit back ON! I tried 2 different ones of this model and BOTH have major problems with the humidity sensor which is why I decided to give Levoit one last try and got this 1000S model. Then of course I ran into the problem described above.

This lack of not being able to set target humidity and mist level both have dropped the rating down to 2 stars! If not for this problem I would have probably given it 5 stars. That is how critical this problem is! I find myself doubtful that Levoit will fix this and if they don't they will permanently lose a customer and I will never purchase another of their products again.

I will happily update this review and change my rating if Levoit fixes this SOON before I just give up and return this unit to Amazon and search for another brand.

Are you listening Levoit?

UPDATE: OK I'm raising the rating to 4 stars because Levoit came back with a workaround using SCENES in the main part of the VeSync app so that humidifier can be left in manual mode at highest mist level and be turned off and on via the scene. This works, however there is still a problem with the humidity sensor with Levoit humidifiers in general in that they sometimes becomes wildly inaccurate. I have multiple humidity sensors and the only one that has problems is the Levoit humidifier. Here is the issue: it seems to me that Levoit's humidity sensor needs to have some minimum amount of airflow around the aroma box in order for the sensor to be even remotely accurate. I keep my office door closed so it does not try to humidify the entire upstairs area and granted this does reduce airflow to a degree BUT again only Levoit has this problem. It gets into this mode where the mist is OFF and the humidity continues going up even though THREE other sensors start going down at the same time. Then when the mist turns ON the humidity starts going DOWN and then at some point it slowly starts going up again. If I simply open the office door after several minutes the humidity sensor starts mostly behaving itself.

But I should not have to keep the door open and again the fact that only Levoit sensors have this issue tells me that this is a Levoit issue which needs to be fixed.

Unfortunately I cannot keep this humidifier as leaving the office door open all the time is not an option.

I can recommend this humidifier for people who don't keep the door closed in a relatively small room (less than around 175 or so sq feet) because the airflow in a larger space would probably be OK. Smaller spaces with somewhat less airflow causes problems with the Levoit sensors.

To Levoit: Please, please redesign your humidity sensors to make them more reliable.

Had the humidifier for a year and it wouldn't run all the sudden. Emailed customer service and they were excellent. Sent me a new u it and prepaid label for shipping the malfunctioned unit back.

Love the humidifier and so happy with their commitment to customer service and satisfaction!

Product is very well made and work perfectly. I hope seller also provides some kind of liquid that kills mildew grows at internal compartment which very difficult to clean.
