Hey guys! as I announce in the community section, I'll be uploading some of my non Aquarium related content from DannyMOG channel, to this channel.. and yes this is an older video, but people were searching for a review on this humidifier, so there we go :D I will come back with reviewing my favorite humidifier as well! 🧡
Hey Danny🤗; I have by mistake broke a Phaleanopsis arial root. But the root is still connected: by holding on the thin like string 😂 found inside the velomen. I have taped the arial root back together, and it seems it is not dying. Should I leave the tape on or cut the broken part?
OK Danny, I thought it could be an old video, so thanks for telling. The topic is still relevant, though. Just worrying about fungus issue going out in the air due to the structure, it's being humidifier, not evaporator. The filter is a bit doubtful. I use Boneco, should be healthier, but it's just not that strong. 🤷♀️
My humidifier died and I need to buy another one - what is your favorite one?
I have 2 of the same model humidifier. The problem I have with both is the thermostat sensor is always off. The room humidity checked can be 45%. The humidifier sensor display can be anywhere from 20%-60%. It rarely is even close to what the real humidity is. Thus you can have it set at 45% but it may not cut off or on because the humidifier may say it’s 30% or 60%. Any ideas how to fix.
The number one problem with ALL mist humidifiers is DAILY CLEAN IS A MUST. Otherwise, you will have a huge growth of bacteria being tossed in the air causing serious breathing issues. Evaporative humidifiers do no have this issue.
Thank you for this review btw, really helpful and you have a lovely calming voice! x
Great job on the review. Super thorough, clear and concise. It was very informative and helpful which convinced me to purchase myself one :) thank you
Thank you for this review and tips. It was very helpful. Happy New Year!
Finally something I can purchase in South Africa! Thank you so much Danny!🤩
Thank you for your channel, I have learnt so much from watching you and I love your soothing presenting style. Thank you for a very comprehensive video on this product.
One of the best, most helpful, informative reviewers ever - well done!
I agree with you. Great review!
Thanks for posting this video, it helped us make a decision between the LV600HH and the LV600S - the 600S is a top-fill and as a bonus has smart integration, so we'll see how that goes.
That was a great review! This is the first time I've seen your channel great job!
Thanks for sharing this video. I use humidifier in winter, I have 3,but I like knowing what is available, pros and cons. 🤗🌸
Thank you for this ❤ Tried to figure out how to put this together and your video came in super handy!
Great video. Personally, I found a removable air channel is very important for a humidifier. It is much easier to clean. Lot of humidifiers' reviews did not show the internal assembly of the machines. Thank you!
I was wondering why it seemed familiar, oh yeah, because I bought it due to this exact video from before…and I love mine! You really should be getting a big commission for all this! ❤️
Sorry to hear your experience. I've got the same one and I have mobility issues, but for me this humidifier is perfect. I have not experienced instances where I would trap a finger or some skin. Although I do think they could have designed it with a few more handles. I find it's a really good price (I got it for 75 euros) for what you get and it is far more efficient at humidifying larger rooms than big brand humidifiers. I also really love that I am able to add essential oils onto a little pad on the side. The absence of a timer system is a downside. I can see that for someone with as many special plants as you, that a timer is almost essential
What a great in-depth review!
Filtered water/ purified water will be the key in all humidifiers. Delightful review. I am in the USA and I enjoyed it.
I also have this humidifier and am very happy with it, cleaning and filling it regularly. I only use filtered water for it (learned that from past mistakes with other brands of humidifiers).
For my prayer plants and other species of tropicals in my collection, I must say finding this humidifier meant a lot😎I only wish I would have had the idea of buying this (and other things I use in my plant set up) when I owned orchids....
I just got my first oncindium and and so excited ahh I love ur channel
Oh noooooo…brace yourself, it’s beginning to accelerate…get ready for the orchid ride 😂😂😂❤️❤️
@@ancientorchids I already have 2 dendrobiums and one phalaenopsis and now Im obsessed with orchids😍😍😍
Comprehensive review. Thank you.
Excellent, very thorough 🙂
I love my cool mist humidifiers. They are also bottom fill (just why?) and I always use distilled water. We are a bit dry here in eastern oregon. My prayer plants seem to enjoy it. Love the videos.
Thank you for a true review! Did you actually drill the top hole?
This was an awesome Humidifier review!
Great info, thanks. Put some copper wire or a few pennies in the reservoir to help control algae.
Thank you for a great review of the humidifier. I happen to own it and live it. I use in my plant room and bedroom at times. It is a little awkward when it is fill to out on the unit. Also if you have issues opening jars and such it can be a bit of a challenge. That being said I still love this unit, it is so quiet. I take my time when cleaning and filling. Blessings to you from Texas.
Glad I could contribute 🎶
I'm very pleased with mine.
Do you have one too of the same model ?
I'm interested to buy one. But so many questions about it.
For how long do you have it now? Without any problems? Do you use distilled water? Also for use in a greenhouse cabinet?
Thanks for reading me and answer...
I love it! I just got one for Christmas from my daughter and I am so happy! Thanks for the video! So helpful! 🪴🌱
I have one of these, and I really like it. Top fill would be nice, however it's not critical.
i always trust danny with an honest af review! i need a larger humidifier for the winter time so im looking forward to the next humidifier lol
Appreciate the very comprehensive review . . . the filling, maintenance . . . no thanks!
Great video
And the vinegar in Greek? Where did you find it?
Thanks for sharing
I use Magick oils in my diffuser. I would love to see a review on that as well too. I have mainly been using blue hills for my oil diffusing.
They last a long time. I would love to get one of these. But I had a diffuser like that and the base had cracked after about two weeks of nonstop usage.
Also you said the plastic water tub is very delicate.
Hmmm. Because I can diffuse oils for about a week without having to refill. Thank you for the review. I’m inclined towards buying it.
I wonder if Danny might be able to reach out to one of these companies and collaborate on making a humidifier that is perfect for her needs, and hopefully perfect for people that follow her :)
I have this one been thinking about putting a valve on top to fill it from the top works pretty good cleans easily but I also use distilled water as our water in kansas usa is hard ive not had the white dust some have mentioned.
Oh my gosh!! I am waiting for this to arrive and I didn’t realize how big it was!! 😂😮
I love mine!
I have this exact one and have had it for a year. I clean mine weekly and I have a charcoal filter that stays in the tank. I also use the humidifier cleaner every two weeks. For someone who has arthritis in their hands I have not had a problem with this one yet.
does yours leak at all? i’ve replaced mine due to a leak and new one is leaking again!
I’m looking to buy a humidifier. I was wanting a top refill this isn’t. Guess you don’t mind! Let me know how you like this one please?? Thank you 😊
I have 2 of the same model humidifier. The problem I have with both is the thermostat sensor is always off. The room humidity checked can be 45%. The humidifier sensor display can be anywhere from 20%-60%. It rarely is even close to what the real humidity is. Thus you can have it set at 45% but it may not cut off or on because the humidifier may say it’s 30% or 60%. Any ideas how to fix
Hi ! Any of these you tried that can work constantly during the night without going on off on off on off 100 times when in automatic ?
I agree with you. I’ve got this very humidifier and I find that I don’t use it because of having to fill it. It’s just so crazy the way they designed this thing. Please do a follow up and let us know how it works to drill a hole in the top and what you use to seal it with because I am thinking about doing the same thing.
i had just recently purchased this model in black and have used it for almost 2 weeks.this morning i went to fill it up and noticed a little crack on the top corner.upon further investigation i notice 40+ little cracks along the corners.ive only used tap water to fill but dont think that is why.have you also had this experience? i have searched online for this issue and found 2 other instances.
I bought this because i live in a basement. The percentage of humidity is low so is this just for plants or it can be for rooms too?
I think those oven gloves with the rubber/silicone on them will help.. (I use them for all sorts, including opening jars) grip for me is an issue.
I have a Vicks one, it's less weight, but also as awkward to carry, the handle is offset on that one too.
The bottom access for cleaning & filling is a big deal breaker! Thanks for the education.
Well a follow-up to my comment/question 4 months ago. I will not be using a humidifier in my home again for my orchids. A few weeks into using the humidifier I started having issues with my Cattleyas that I had never had before. Some kind of fungus or mold started affecting a couple of leaves on 2 plants. I immediately stopped using the humidifier. I had to cut one entire bulb back that was very affected and a 1/4th of the leaf on another bulb. Once I stopped using the humidifier the room humidity level drops back to normal pretty quickly and no more leaf fungus. The room humidity is kind of low in the winter. Around 40% humidity, sometimes less but that seems to keep my plants healthy. The room humidity never really went much above 50% with the humidifier but the fungus problem emerged very quickly over just a few weeks. I'll have to keep an eye out in the warmer months to see how high the humidity indoors normally gets on any given day.
I bought the top filling 6L unit from the same brand. It doesn’t have two direction vents, which is one downside. But it has wifi with humidity targets for auto setting which is very useful (and phone acts like a remote).
I think I made the right decision. The bottom loading is not for me. I end up getting water everywhere lol. And I doubt I would need the warm mist setting I just need the humidity boost, not using it to regulate or influence air temperature (I have a Dyson hot cool purifier for that and AC in summer as needed).
The rest seems very similar features on the device UI just positioned at the bottom and more rectangular shape than round shape.
I think you’d enjoy the 6L top loading levoit with wifi ;). should address the majority of issues you noted in the video. It was $89.99 Canadian on Amazon to give you an idea of price. Hopefully it’s available to ship to your location.
My mother recently got a humidifier and was delighted with it until she discovered about a week later that the inside was mildewed and had to take it apart and clean it thoroughly only to have to do it again a week later. She boxed it up and never used it again. Her experience dissuaded me from every wanting to get one for my orchids. I love my orchids but not that much.
Use enzymes to keep it clean
@@lilwayne2671 Which enzymes??
Would it hurt to put a teaspoon of bleach in it every time I fill? I don’t mind if I might smell the bleach as I think it’s very clean smelling. Thank- you!!
Hi, vaporazing bleach in the air is incredibly dangerous, bleach is highly toxic to humans and animals. Always use it as directed by its manufacturer or appliance manufacturers, never drink, inhale, or mix it with other cleaning products. Stay safe!
I love your Ringneck! I have 5
I’m so distracted by your beautiful watch! Where can I find it?
Can this humidifier be set to run continuously until the tank is empty or is 12 hours the maximum before you would need to restart the unit
Mine shuts off when the reservoir tank is empty.
Did your top fill DIY work?
Thank you so much for considering disability in your review, Danny. So many people don't think of us.💚
sounds like someone at the company...no update?
Thank you
I returned this humidifier after only 3 days. I found the RH sensor was terribly inaccurate and it was difficult to fill and clean. Got a smaller top-fill humidifier, with a dial on-off instead of a button so you can use it with a smart plug to control remotely and set up a schedule; enjoying that one much more!
This brand has another humidifier that has a lid to fill from the top, it’s wider and I believe with all the features you mentions. Wifi, phone app, a better auto system or a scheduled option with commands for specific temp, time and days under smart settings. The downside to me is that it only has cool mist and only 1 mist nozzle. I actually have both.
Thank you soo much! Great details (:
They have a top fill option of this same humidifier. Have you seen that one and thought maybe getting that ?
Sadly when this video was filmed, that one wasn't out and I already bought an Elechomes one 😁
Have you ever done a review of your reverse-osmosis system?
she’s explained how it works when she moved to this house… not sure if that counts as a review lol but shes used it ever since (like 5 years?)
@@easyteh4getperson maybe that's why I couldn't find anything. I'll dive deeper! Lol 🤿
Please don't modify to top fill. With bottom fill you avoid catastrophic leaks and I suspect this is why the product is designed like this although inconvenient. If you go ahead then the top fill point MUST be 100% air tight when closed.
I would love to see the modification you made to the water container. Is a pain that you have to fill it from the bottom. 😏
How long should the humidifier be on? All day? A few hours? The humidity in my home in the winter drops to about 45%. I have a cool humidifier I recently purchased for my Cattleyas. Left on long enough, basically 24 hours per day, with 3 to 4 refills per day, it can raise the humidity in my apartment to about 50%-55% over a period of 2-3 days. That's measuring the humidity from a distance in a whole other room. Probably higher humidity % in the immediate area around the Cattleyas and humidifier.
Hi, it may depend on the humidifier, the manual for this one specified no more than 12 hours continuously.
I mean... They have the lv600s model now that has a large top fill opening... It's about 30 dollars more because it also has the wifi and can be operated with an app or Google or Alexa like you mentioned. It also has memory so it remembers the last settings. And you can set up a schedule. Also. Those are mineral absorption pads. They keep minerals from building up on the heating element. Not filters. Lol
I received mine today and its been running over 2 hours and its NOT moving from 20%. Idk whats wrong.
get a ultrasonic mister, a sonoff th10 and a container (maybe a fan?), you'll have your humidifier for cheaper with wifi (and proper scheduling), a proper humidity probe ;P
2 years later and they fixed it ! It’s top loading now. It’s still bulky if you need to move it though. Wish it had a handle
Hi my humidifier won’t mist .. help!!!!😢
Does anyone with this humidifier notice that it runs through water very fast even at the lowest setting? Is this normal? Mine can run through 4 litres in 1 day...doesn't seem normal to me...
Is it a copy of Beurer LB 88?
Hi, it may be a white lable product, meaning same manufacturer can sell the same product for different brands to resell, but I obviously don't know for a fact ☺️
The warm function is beneficial for anyone suffering from bronchitis or dry coughs due to colds\flu. It's not meant to heat a room.
I actually don't need a humidifier 😂, because it rainy here, and I hate the fact that snails and slugs love humidity and fungus and bacteria love humidity also, such a hard time for my orchids that's why fungicide is my best friend 😄
But if I where to buy a humidifier, it's not what I prefer and if I have that, I'll just cover the transparent part.
amazon says no filter needed on this model
Leviot ultrasonic Classic 300S check this one. Cleaning is much easier.
I ended up replacing this god awful thing after just 4 months with a Honeywell HEV620B OR HEV620BC in some countries , The Levoit was leaving white dust EVERYWHERE , it was sticking to walls , TV'S , furniture , windows ect and the bottom loading was deadful , The new honeywell covers a much larger area and has no white dust and is just as quiet and it top fillable and only cost me like $10 more , The levoit sits in a dark corner in the basement unused now , most likey destin for the trash heap.
Just found this at Goodwill for 2.99!!!! Just needs a good vinegar clean!!!!
Wish this was chaptered.
The tank is slightly over 13lbs when full which isn't bad at all.
The number one problem with ALL mist humidifiers is DAILY CLEAN IS A MUST. Otherwise, you will have a huge growth of bacteria being tossed in the air causing serious breathing issues. Evaporative humidifiers do no have this issue.
The 600s is top fill
Lift the white top rectangle thing , you fill the water there on top!! Not on the bottom.
Hi, that is not possible this model is bottom filling :)))
I was here to watch warm mist :(
Cold mist is dropping room tempruter
If you use only distilled water you don’t need to clean. Algae can’t grow in it and no mineral deposits
It sure can!
I used to see algae growth in a bottle of ultrapure water, which is laboratory grade water that’s even purer than the distilled water you’d buy at a store.
@@gregkosinski2303 no such thing. Pure water is pure water. H2O. There’s no ultra element. Now filtered water is very different. Nearly all filter add some minerals. Things can’t grow with no source of energy. So whatever you saw isn’t and literally can’t be what you think it is. If so the water in my tank would have grown something but it’s sealed and not being used
It's warm mist, not hot mist. Relax.
That doesn't boil the water, just warns it a bit so that the steam can go higher and spread better. Just that.
وش الحمامة الخايسه ههههههههههه
Stay away from this product. This leaves white dust of minerals all over your furniture and appliance. I had so much trouble cleaning it. AVOID only if you can afford distilled water all the time of use. I regret so much buying this.
Air Innovations makes several styles of humidifiers-several are top loading! As the water level drops you simply pour in more. You can set the humidity percentages you want to reach, and the rate of air flow. It has a two-directional nozzle that you like. Plus it has a “tower” that allows you to raise the air flow up above the machine in two directions if desired. I also like that you don’t need to constantly replace the filter. Just clean and make sure you don’t touch the nebulizer. Read the instructions. I got mine from QVC but Amazon also carries it. There may be other outlets that sell than where you live. Not all models are top loading-so be careful when ordering. www.air-innovations.com/air-innovations-mh-903a-ultrasonic-cool-mist-humidifier-with-aromatherapy-remote
