With temperatures and humidity dropping in my apartment, and air so dry that my cat was wary of letting me pet her due to static, I figured it was time to invest in a humidifier. After some searching, I decided to give the Myst a try, despite low review counts, and have not been disappointed so far. Below are my impressions as a harsh grader, after almost 2 week's of use:

Overall (35/40) - The Myst humidifier is pricey, but of awesome value! While it is not perfect, it ticked many of the boxes I looked for in a humidifier, and has performed well so far. From sleek design, great functionality and amazing customer service - this is a product I would recommend.

Design (10/10) - Thoughtful design that looks sleek and elegant. Fits well in my bedroom as functional décor. Love the lighting options, night mode, the simple controls, and controls layout. The top tank snaps into place seamlessly. It is also easy to remove, refill from the top, and replace. Comes with a handy handle for ease of transport, and attached mini-brush to help with cleaning.

Function (9/10) - Functions as you would expect a humidifier would function, but packed with additional features that may be useful for some. I particularly liked that there was a built-in humidistat and auto-mode. The Myst humidifier has helped to keep my room within the ideal 30-50% humidity range, compared to the sub 20's it was before. I would have liked the auto-mode to allow us to choose a humidity level, since it defaults to 60% which may not be everyone's comfort zone. App integration/controls would've been a nice bonus for this relatively pricey unit. The unit does come with a remote that works as expected. It also has an essential oil compartment, though I have not used that, for my cat's sake.

Depending on what settings you use, the environment, and for how long, you may need to refill the tank daily or more often. Warm Mist does drain the water faster as well. The auto-shutoff feature comes in handy for this, though I've made it a habit to fill the tank before bed as a precaution.

Just a note also about the Warm Mist feature - please cater your expectations on just how "warm" the mist is. At least on my machine, it works perfectly, and blows out a warm mist. That was one of the primary reasons I got this model - for the warm or cool mist option. It may take the unit a little while to heat up, especially if it's winter and you're putting in cold water. However, don't be expecting boiling steam-levels of heat. I'd argue that is actually a good thing, especially if you have a young one or pet in the same room.

Cleaning (7/10) - If you are using anything besides distilled water, expect to have to clean the unit relatively regularly. I use tap water that's not very hard, but have still found mineral deposit buildup even after just a single day's use. The buildup will mostly appear on the bottom of the removable tank, as well as the base unit's well. I have tried using the demineralization cartridges, and while I did notice a little less buildup, there was still more than enough that I would want to clean often. On the bright side, the buildup usually wipes away easily enough, or with some light brushing or scrubbing. However, long term, I imagine the unit will need some deep cleaning, and there are definitely harder-to-reach areas.

Noise Levels (9/10) - This unit is quiet. Like really really quiet. I had originally thought I could replace my white-noise maker with this, but the sound it emits while operating is barely noticeable, even in a quiet bedroom. Do note that it does make an occasional clicky/poppy sound which is more noticeable. However even as a light sleeper, it has not significantly disrupted my sleep. If anything the more humid air has helped improve my sleep quality.

Customer Service - Wanted to include this separately. I had a great customer service experience with the folks there (not Amazon), after registering my humidifier, and reaching out about a concern regarding the (at the time unknown) buildup I noticed. They went above and beyond to make sure my concerns were addressed. US-based, native English speaking customer service that actually cares for the customer and stands by their products was a pleasant surprise.

- displays humidity level
- TOP FILL
- easy to clean
- warm/cool options
- reaches every corner of my bedroom
- only con is the essential oil pad isn't all that effective? but I don't personally care about that.

I purchased this for myself January 2022 and it is still working GREAT in November 2023. I loved it so much I bought it for my mom. I have gone through so many humidifiers that either break, are impossible to clean, are too small, or are frustrating to refill. This is the one that stopped me from serial buying humidifiers.

The things to watch out for are an E1 error code will pop up sometimes. This just means you have to dump out the water from the base and probably clean it. I just spray a paper towel with multipurpose spray and wipe down the inside. This gets the humidifier working again every time!

That being said, this is probably the best humidifier in the world, especially at its delicious

I really like that this product is quiet and easy to use. It is very user-friendly. Since I like to sleep in darkness, I don't think i will use the lighting feature too much, but it does seem pretty cool and will even guide you through relaxation if needed! Overall I am pleased with the product!

This humidifier is great for my aging mother's bedroom. Since she started needing oxygen, keeping the room helps prevent her nostrils from drying out. She doesn't like the night light option, but she is sure a kid would really like it. Quiet and simple operation, this humidifier is a terrific replacement and she recommends it.

I had hand surgery two days ago and am easily able to refill and replace the tank one-handed, without spilling any water!
I run it overnight on medium output and it is very quiet, and the sleep feature to darken the display is a bonus.
I ordered a second one to use in my basement office and highly recommend this model for medium-large rooms.
