For those wondering,, The leviot offers a top fill option for 20$ more than the bottom fill 👌
I own the Levoit one, and I'm absolutely in love with it. Sure the bottom filling can be a little irritating, but all the good things about it just outweighs the fact that I don't fill it from the top. I always recommend this specific model to people that wants a sturdy humidifier with a lot of settings and a big tank. Obviously if a person has arthritis or doesn't have full use of their hands I'd recommend something else entirely, only because of the lifting of the tank and removing the cap in the bottom. No one should be in pain because of a humidifier :P
Have you had any issues with it leaking? That's the only thing keeping me from going for it, I don't mind bottom filling but I can't have it leaking on my wood furniture
@@neonlights_12 The only time it leaks a few drops is when I remove the tank for a refill. It's because of the valve in the bottom of the tank releasing, but it just falls right into the bottom of the humidifier where water is already accumulated for the humidifier to produce the 'steam' :) I have mine on a wooden table as well and there's not even any marks.
Y'all, they have a top filling one now. It comes with the alexa capability, and if you catch it on sale its not much more than this model.
I have the Levoit and I actually don't mind the bottom filling because when I go to refill it I also get a good look at the rest of the machine to see how clean/dirty it is and that helps me determine if I need to clean it sooner or later.
As a German in a house with very little to no insulation I mostly struggle with too much humidity 😂 if it gets too dry in the summer I get away with using my small aroma diffuser 👌👌👌
I have a shop in the south of England with no insulation at all. It’s always very very dry inside, even though outside is always 60+ humidity putside
I have the Elechomes. I bought this one because visually I don't like the clear kind and the white blends in beautifully (is hardly noticeable) in my mostly white room. I also like the rounded lines of it which gives it a sleeker appearance. Finally, I have a bottom fill also (in storage) top fill is easier.
I got a kick out of a doctor who say big words all day trying to pronounce the ELECHOMES humidifier lol great job with the reviews 👍
For me it's important that I can have it running without display lights on since I have it in my bedroom. The levoit you can turn off all the display lights but the machine isnt off.
Your attempts at saying “elec-homes” actually made me lol 😆 Also don’t know why I watched this since I struggle with too much humidity. I have a dehumidifier running, set to 65%. If we didn’t have it, it easily goes up to 80%
Why are there so many adverts? 😡😖😭 I have counted 9 already. 😰
Weird it’s so many. Sorry about that. I only have the option to turn on or off.
Jimmy I don’t know what’s going on. I can send a screenshot to your IG if it helps? (I don’t know how it would though but I can lol). Or I can tell you at what times they’re popping up. And to add more annoyance to our viewing pleasure, YT are playing two adverts at a time. 😫
We still love you Jimmy! We just loathe the constant disturbances.
Thank you for this video! I just bought the new Elechomes and I haven’t cleaned it yet so it would be helpful to know about ease of maintenance. Based on this video, I’m going to buy another Elechomes! 💙
Yay! I'm getting the Elechomes humidifier. Love that's it's a top filler. Ordered it from Amazon and I am so excited to get it.
Thank you for your review!
I have it , it’s great
@@cmstrauss514 Thank you Claire! I'm glad you've been enjoying your Elechomes product!
I have the fourth humidifier that he showed. I love it. I never have to move the tank, just take my RO water jug and pour it right in.
RO water is great cuz I almost never have to clean the atomizer. Warm mist has been great in the winter and yes, having the heating option on does make it blow out even more mist and humidify even faster.
The humidistat is also necessary. It's the only way to MAINTAIN the right humidity consistently and not have to regularly turn it on/off or come home or wake up to a dry room. Tbh I'm surprised he blew off the benefit of having one in the way that he did.
The humidistat can be finicky on this unit but don't believe the reviews, it does work. The problem is the mist can fall down and go right back into the fan on the bottom where it measures humidity. I have mine on a little platform that raises it about a foot off the ground and it has fixed that problem. It also just kind of evens its self out over time even if it seems like its not quiet reading the humidity correctly immediately. It all averages out.
I'll never again buy any humidifier where have to flip the reservoir over and unscrew a cap. Pffft
Technology Connections has a super cool video breaking down the mechanics of different humidifiers which I recommend as a great follow up to this video if you're in the market for a new one.
Personally, I recommend that last one shown in this video.
I think this is the neatest I’ve seen your hair 😆
I’ve been in the market for a new humidifier. I’ve had the levoit in my cart for months. I can not bring myself to buy another humidifier that consider a ‘bottom fill’. For as much as I use my humidifiers in the winter (I also have a central home humidifier set up,) I’d rather pay more for a top fill. That being said there are some that are too fill but also dismantle from the bottom, found those to leak. Really like those two top fills you showed! Thanks for the video!
The Levoit brings me a lot of joy.
Hi, I find the humidifier hygrometer inaccurate, a difference of 15% compared to an oregon scientific hygrometer, less so with other digital hygrometers. Have you compared the humidity value with other hygrometers? Do you know other humidifiers with precise hygrometers? I was thinking of returning the SH8830.
Thank you
Love the video, super helpful, thanks so much for doing it. How do you manage to keep your house/flat dry whilst using humidifiers? Do you try to keep your apartment at a constant humidity or do you just turn them on for a couple hours or so? If all the time, what level and do you have trouble with mold and dust mites etc? Thanks in advance
This maybe a stupid question, but, do I need a humidifier for each plant? Do humidifiers need to be super close to each plant? Thank you to anyone that can help.
All those humidifiers smoothed down Jimmy’s hair!! Woahhhhhhh! It’s a miracle!! 🤣🤣 Love ya Jimmy! 💚🌱
Hello
I have 2 variegated monstera one is albo. They are doing good with me. I have placed them north facing window room.
Cool story bro
Thanks a million for this video, it has helped a lot in trying to determine which humidifier to get for my plants. 🌿 👍
Love you Jimmy 😍 try saying it like elec home's you made me giggle 😄 in a cute way. Big hugs from across the pond xx 🇬🇧
I love my Levoit amd so does my indoor jungle. .you forgot to mention there’s a remote for the Levoit and a slot to add your essential oils
thanks for the reviews! Super helpful, I’m looking to get one for myself but honestly it’s really going to be for my plants so this video was exactly what I needed 😂
I love your enthusiasm!
One of my favorite channels! You deserve more subscribers ❤️
Hi. Thank you for the video. I myself also have Levoit lv600hh. Anyway, it's winter right here right now, so heaters are running inside the house and humidity levels are down to 33% usually. To make the humidity go up is by turning on this humidifier and levels go up. So my question would be, what is best mist setting (cool or warm) for tropical indoor plants like fiddle leaf fig and orange bird of paradise and Alocasia amazonica? Where will they thrive best or what do they really need..a warm or a cool mist? Or it doesn't matter?
Hey sir! I have a question. What happens if the humidity goes up and what happens if humidity goes down? Does the humidifier solve the problems? If you don’t know the answer I will ask the developer for this video.
I have a black elec-homes that looks a little different and it is my favorite by far. If I could send the 2 levoits I have back and get 2 more of the top fill elec-homes I would. I find the Levoit annoying to refill so when it is empty it tends to stay that way for a while. Great review by the way.
Omg thank u for this super helpful, I'll definitely be getting the last one I hate bottom filling ones lol
Doctor Monstera calls a humidifier "cute".
Me: "...dammit, he's right."
It DOES look cute, and now I want to put googly eyes, ears and a fluffy tail on mine. It already has four little legs, it's not good husbandry to let it go without those now. My home will never look like a grownup lives here. :P
Thank you so much for this video! I was just debating which one to buy since my last one died lol
The Essick Air Whole House Humidifier is the absolute best! I have used mine for over 15 years.
I love our AprilAire whole house humidifier
Great video and good tips. Thanks you for sharing
Awesome video and super informative. Thank you!! 😊
Awesome Jimmy! Props to the top fill humidifiers! 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩
I love my levolt humidifier
Can you tell me is it safe for electricity and plugs?
Cool mist or warm mist is best for plants? Am confused
Great video! Very helpful! Thx
Top Fill is the Best. Elechomes FTW
Yo Jimmy I am attempting to root a 2 leaf varigated monstera in moss/terracotta moss. I ring out the moss very well and then put a plastic bag over the moss/pot and leave the leafs out. What do you think? There is condensation on the bag. Is this good/bad?
I’m not jimmy lol but in my opinion if it’s really wet I’d open the bag an let it air out. Keep an eye out for root rot. I’ve had things rot in spag bag because the moss was too wet. Good luck. 😃
Are these particular ones made only for plants? Or humans too thanks
The only water to use in a humidifier is distilled. No dust.
Great videos. One more question. How difficult r the models to clean?
I don’t think cleaning is much different between the units. It’s mostly the watering method and watering frequency that are the biggest considerations for me.
Nice reviews, very helpful!
Do you have links for the first two humidifiers? I'm not seeing them and I'm interested in them . Thanks for the video!
I don’t have the links for the first two. I can’t find them on Amazon.
Hi, Which humidifier do you recommend best for nasal issues like stuffy nose etc?
Can you use distilled water in those units ?
These reviews are helpful 👍🏼
Does the warm most on the levoit boil the water?
OMG I totally need this info right now
you should check out Sansi "full spectrum" grow light bulbs i think they are way better than all the lamps in the description xD
Thanks! I’ll check them out!
Literally thought that is how all humidifiers are filled up for the Levoit.
@legends what about using distilled water?
Yeah I dont understand why models (including Dyson) dont make top-filling a standard. Must be a reason why..
I want to find that renpho one so bad!!!
The levoit is great and filling is not a problem out of nothing.
E lec homes
How far does the humidifier have to be to the plants? Like var monstera for example.
I will only buy top fill humidifiers
I love how you just randomly have TP on your coffee table there 🤣
It’s a paper towel roll .
🙈
@@YTJasonNguyen oh lol it looked like a VERY thick roll of TP to me! Haha
Lol it’s a paper towel roll 😂
Lol I have a bunch stacked up on my aquarium because my dog has a bad habit of snatching it from the bathroom and that's where it ends up
Good review on the humidifiers. 😃 I like the top full better, so much easier. 💚😃
Good vid fella.
I really love your laugh! :-D
Watching this not wanting to get up to fill my levoit humidifier.🤣🤣🤣
The Elecohomes humidifier is terrible. It keeps turning off by itself even after I cleaned it out. Straight out the box it was already not wanting to turn on. Keeps flashing 001 001 001
You had me at Real Life Land 😂
Do you add essential oil into your humidifier for plants?
you shouldn't use oils in a humidifier its not an aroma diffuser it also stains and ruins the insides
@@mochixplants 😱
I don’t but I think almost all humidifiers have that option
@@LegendsOfMonstera Yup tat's right so I'm wondering izzit ok to add some scented oil into my humidifiers and will it affect the health of my plants 🧐
@@jaygatsby9845 This is late but some of them come with a tray to add it as a safe way to do so. I doubt essential oils would cause any damage, some people even add a few drops to a homemade pesticide. Adding peppermint or rosemary would possibly deter spidermites. :)
Check out my Honeywell HWM440WC humidifier uograde.
I would hate to have a humidifier that needs to butt chug.
PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS
Really appreciate the detailed review and the fact that you're not just peddling affiliate links. Also had a good laugh at your attempts to pronounce Elechomes. I always thought it was elec-homes, as in "electric/electronic homes", but who knows really 😂
Thank you for sharing. Is it necessary to use filtered water? I think it’s better for the machine but I am too lazy...
Thanks for a very informative vid Jimmy. You are awesome! 😁
I think it really depends on the type of tap water you have in your area. The tap water in LA is very "hard", meaning it has high mineral content. These mineral deposits leave a chalky residue that could damage the humidifier components over time. The northeastern United States, in contrast, has relatively "soft" water, and using it straight from the tap would likely be less of an issue. Hope that helps!
I don’t think it’s necessary but you might get hard water buildup after awhile if you don’t. Not really sure if that reduces the lifespan of the machines.
Whether or not it's necessary will be a judgement call for you.
These kinds of humidifiers, aka ultrasonic, put not only water into the air, but anything else that is in the water. So if you are using tap water, you will be putting calcium and other particulate into the air along with the mist. The effect could be less noticeable in a large room, but if you are using this kind in a small environment, like a grow tent, your walls, fans, plants, light, etc will become coated in a white dust. You can avoid this by using distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water which is just pure water, but that can be a little of a hassle or costly. Charcoal or other filtering methods can help, but won't eliminate the dust issue.
If your water has low sediment, you might not notice or care. If it's a concern, you can look up evaporative humidifiers, which don't produce white dust, but have some additional maintenance costs with running the unit. I prefer evaporative type humidifiers personally, simply for the fact they don't produce white dust.
The dust can be eliminated one way or another, but it's all a cost tradeoff.
@@brandon23471 thank you for the reply. I live in an area where the water is very hard and I have noticed many white spot on my shower door so I think I will try to use the filtered water but again it seems like a bit of work. Thank you again!
Why is it when There's people on their own channel sharing.. U people Yes U know who U are.U people speak down.about his time, his own effort for himselfa d some others me;That was hoping to gain this very exact knowledge. U people we are all not alike yes.Praise Jesus 4 that.Because everything would be one-sided from U people.Thanks 4 sharing sir. it was hepful and needed.I subed.U.😊✌🌹🌹
CANT HEAR YOU
Elec-home
Sprouts? Dude, read books non stop, it will improve your vocabulary and descriptive process..... that needs to happen, now. And stop winging your script, plan it. And more cuts will decrease the bs. Otherwise good stuff and good luck.
elechomes is the best. thank me later.
Definitely try to condense and be more straightforward the rambling on about the first one was not great. I get basic is cheap and does it s job awesome but what makes the more expensive ones better that why were here watching this review....sleek design, cool features, hot or cold mist? Ultrasonic , puts out negative ions like tell us the good good shit we wanna know just a tid bit to think about in your next review or comparison
How can u inform ppl about a product when you don’t even know the products yourself like wtf ....
WHO needs a humidifier? If you keep a lot of plants, THEY humidify the air!
I agree, i have all my plants in 1 room, its always around 80%
Whatcha talking about? A lot of plant hobbyists keep tropical plants which are not adapted to thrive in drier climates outside the tropics. Clumping a lot of plants together isn’t enough to mimic their native climate so yeah, humidifiers are commonly used amongst plant collectors.
@Paulina Gauthier* Alaska has joined the chat*
Because I live in Denver and our air will suck every moisture molecule in everything
You come over as unprepared. I got as far as the first humidifier which I own
dude you really need a upgrade on your audio
experts claim that you need to clean the humidifier every single day to avoid bacteria being emitted. So your claim that having a higher capacity that allows you to neglect maintenance is kind of misleading.
