I was looking in amazon but i can only find Levoit LV 600
Yep youre right! I have got the model number wrong lol thank you so much for pointing that out - I dont know how I missed that 😄
I was honestly shocked when you said the price. I honestly expected it to be more than $100. During the video I was guessing it was $130-150. That’s a LOT of features for $100.
My friend was making fun of me the other day for having a humidifier for my plants lol. But what people don’t realize is it isn’t just for plants; it’s also good for us like you said!
Josh Adams doesn’t really matter, you have to go through a few menus to get a pounds sign if you live in other places
Just unboxed mine and I’m already in love. I’m gonna take a break from the internet and revel in my controlled humidity
I bought this a couple weeks ago based on your recommendation and I really love it. The two swiveling spouts are very handy as well as being able to set the humidity percentage so it runs when it needs to.
I also got the moisture meter as well so I can check the humidity in the corners, etc.
👋 Hi there! I live in Northern California. Although I grew up surrounded by house plants, I’m new to having my own. I just want to say that I love your content 💕 You’re so knowledgable and I 1000% trust your recommendations. I've been researching humidifiers & you sold me on this one. I just ordered it! 🤗 I initially wanted it for my plants but now I partially want it for the skin benefits too! Thanks again! You're the best! 🥰
I love my Levoit humidifier. I got the 5.5 L and it has all those features and still stays full for a week. This year’s version is functionally much better so I got it as I want it to last. Many models you need to buy direct from Levoit.
I just wanted to let you know, I am now going to go get a bunch of plants for my house, I currently have none, and am just feeling the need for some now. It really does make a house look better. Thanks!
Because of your recommendation, I bought the same one, currently re-watching this video because I just received it today!
Same🌱❤️
Thanks for this video. I bought this same humidifier from Amazon for my plants and wanted some info how to use it. Your video gave me all the details I needed. Thanks for confirming that I made the right choice.
Just received mine setting it ip while watching you talk through process 👏🏻
I have just ordered one like that (for my plants) and then found your video! Thank you for a quality review =)
bought one of these for my plants, super excited! I loved hearing you talk you are beautiful lol I haven't used it yet setting it up and watching you, two separate nozzles is a huge bonus for my girls!!!!
Thank you for your review.I have just ordered it, cant wait to try it out!
Super informative! Thanks for making this! I got one just yesterday!
I can watch her talk all day .. she is so cute!
Holy crap I’ve been dealing with acne that gets so bad in the winter and completely goes away in the summer (we get pretty humid here in toronto) and you just helped me understand why that may be. MY MIND IS BLOWN 😦
Excellent review. Great production value too. Thank you.
I LUV YOU! No seriously tho... awesome recommendation and presentation. I bought one of those fancy ass dyson hmdfrs and tried it for almost 3 months, just horrible! $300+ dollars and wow what a waste. Luckily I was able to return it just in the nik of time before the return policy expired. I had watched a review about the dyson after I discovered how wack it was, and they mentioned this model as a way better alternative. So I hunted down a better, more thorough ...YOURS! Plants, skin ...yes thats me, I have both :") Now I'm on to your plant vids. FYI I ordered the 600 before I even finished your vid :") Thnx
I have this one and I really love it. It’s my best purchase if have made!
just got one of these based on this video! i'm keeping it on 55-60% for now, because I have pet bunnies, and when I asked my vet how they do with humidity, she said that they're comfortable in roughly the same levels as me, so I'm taking it very slowly and feeling it out. Hopefully it should still stop my calatheas browning at the edges though!
I had a massive drop while using another unit. Ordering this hope it gets things stable in my hom-asis. Thanks for the review!
Mine is arriving today :)...can't wait
I live in Canada and don't even know how I lived without a humidifier before. My skin and lips use to get so dry in the winter, now its never an issue! FYI, if you have really cold winters, your going want a few humidifiers, one won't keep up with central heating.
Just purchased one lol. Thumbs up for the review
Great video, thank you, I'm in the market for a humidifier, I have one that just puts a mist into the air, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles that this one does. I'm okay for now, but I will find one that does more. See you in your next video.
I was about to buy this exact model a week ago but decided to wait since I've been spending too much on plants lately. Today I received a message from my bank saying I have 20% off of any Amazon purchase because it's Mexicos version of Black Friday and 2 mins later UA-cam suggested this video. Once I was convinced that I needed it (and told my gf about the essential oil tray, which got her on board), I opened Amazon and they're sold out =/ I guess I'll keep using my cheap humidifier for a while.
Luis - I just now picked one up off Amazon.
And, there still on sale!
Good luck...
@@davestelling Thanks! I just saw your comment, but I did manage to get one on sale! I've had it for a couple of weeks and my average humidity increased by 15% for the whole apartment.
OK, I watch a lot of UA-cam videos. You by far have the BEST video presence. Your overview of this humidifier was 200% way over what I was expecting from a UA-cam video. For real, YOU ARE THE BEST!! I very rarely comment on videos, but you got me on this one. GREAT JOB! Please keep those videos pumping. I'm subscribing
Haha, I have the same. Here in Canada, wood furnace, set at 65%, small house, second humidifier in adjoining room and I’m lucky if I get 24 hours before filling water canister. Lol
My boyfriend just surprised me with this for my birthday after mentioning I need a better humidifier instead of the little pretty diffuser.
I have indoor plant at home . What will be the best setting of that humidifier
Thanks for the video! Do you have the same humidifer for your bedroom plants or do you feel that the one is enough?
Hey :) for my bedroom plants I havr a much smaller, more basic one from Amazon but I dont often run a humidifier in the room - the master bedroom has an en suite which seems to be keeping the room at 60% humidity all on its own.
Great review. You should do more reviews!!!
Hi Kaylee! I just got a small humidifier and I was wondering if putting essential oils in the water would be toxic for the plants?
I just got one of these for $40 on my local plant page. I’m so glad it’s Kaylee approved
Hey, Kaylee! Love your videos! Couple of questions:
1. Do you have hard water? I've heard this can be rough on humidifiers.
2. How large is the room that you use this humidifier in? I'm thinking about getting one for my bedroom, which is on the smaller side, so I'm just wondering.
Keep up the great work ❤
Great review!
Do you keep the humidifier on all day or for a couple of hours /minutes everyday?
Ankita Arora I’m wondering the same thing
It can stay on as long as it has water lol 😂
Hi Kaylee, i have this one aswell. Is it normal that it flashes between the current humidity and the asked humidity? I also find that it takes long to get to the asked humidity ? Maybe there is a problem with mine ? Thanks in advance XXX
Hi! I've come across this one several times now and I'm considering it. The Amazon reviews are kind of mixed because of it breaking down after several months. Is it still working well for you? Thank you!
Do you need to point it directly to the plants and put them right next to it or can they be far away as long as they are still in the same room?
Would this be good for a bedroom? I have a Serissa Bonsai tree that I am trying to keep indoors and I want the best humidifier for it.
Mine was delivered last night. Love it! You may want to amend the part of the video where you say that the warm/hot mist is safe for children. I had my running for an hour or two with the mist heat as high as it would go and I was unable to hold my hand up to the mist for any length of time. It was too hot. Or is mine defective? IDK. Thank you suggesting this humidifier. I love it's sleek look and the options on this thing are amazing.
How long did it take for shipping? It's telling me almost a month! 😵
Oh my gosh. Just a few days. No more than 3 I think.
@@kristinkirgan3359 o wow u are luckily! I ordered it anyway.. It says March 20 but hopefully it will update to sooner.. Already got a shipped notification 🤞 #impatientlyanxious my calatheas need it!
Hi Kaylee I have been really enjoying your videos and this one is no exception! I wonder if you would be interested do a lighting video? It would be great to learn about how you manage lighting for your plants. Big congrats as well on your shop the website looks amazing. Best, Caroline
Will a humid room affect the other plants who don’t need as much humidity?
I am a little confuse. Does plant prefer cold or warm humidifier?
I bought this humidifier after seeing your video, but how do you clean it to prevent mold growth? I've only used water from reverse osmosis system and cleaned it weekly with vinegar, but it still grew pink mold after just 1 month and half.
Advantage Ultrasonic humidifier! NO MOLD
Great review
I know this has been talked to death and you already responded a long time ago. But are you still using tap water? How hard is your water when you were/still using tap water? Cleaning? Just wondering because the trips and cost of distilled gallons is getting to me. Thanks anyone who response
I kept having a fine white dusting all over my grow space cuz of using tap water. I had to spring for a evaporative humidifier which works much better and no need for distilled water.
been waiting for ages to get one & I was just about to and it’s now unavailable on Amazon 😭
What about cleaning? It is extremely easy to create mold in your environment by not cleaning the unit at least once a week. How easy is it to clean? How often do you clean yours? Can you easily clean all areas with a cleaning brush? Thank you for this information.
hhhhh read d instructions
Hello plant friends! Just an FYI... I picked this bad boy up about 5 days ago on U.S. Amazon and paid only $68.37 USD. Yes. $68. Which I thought was a STEAL considering the many wonderful things this humidifier does and can do. Don’t miss out! 😊🌿
Does it leave puddles on a floor or furniture? Should on keep it on high spot in a house?
Mine leaks! Had it two days.
It’s fine for a while and then all of a sudden it will go boiling hot and leak all over the surface, floods of water. I feel like it’s when the temp drops in the room and it’s gong over drive to get it back to the level I set. Has this happened to you? Is this faulty? Thought with the auto setting I could relax with this machine.
Please could you advise ? Thank you very much
Your video is so lovely, easy to understand, you are Very well spoken, and your pace of the information was " Perfect" if you ask me :) , from "THIS" video i purchased the Exact item, got it today and am VERY happy with it .. and i am sure my plants will now be as well! so "thank you " again... i look forward now to see what other videos you come out with.. this company Defiantly should Hire/pay you .. because you did such an "HONEST" and lovely review. PS: you have such Beautiful skin!!
Should we point the nozzle/vents away from plants directly? I'm noticing hard water buildup (white coating) on my plant leaves. The plant wouldn't get as much direct humidity but I wouldn't have to worry about blocking light absorption if I forget to clean the leaves, which can be a hassle with many plants surrounding the humidifier
lovely great review thank you
Hi! I just bought this on Amazon for my middle school classroom with NO windows (sad) ... as well lots of indoor plants. I'm trying to bring nature inside. I live in Florida but I feel like a humidifier will help make my room feel more natural. But, I've never had a humidifier, so idk. Any thoughts on this??
wow thats so cool.
I use it for my reptile room it’s perfect
I can’t get them for less then $200 in Australia 😩 has to be sent over which cost big bucks
Was just abou5 to check, hate be8ng in oz
Ahhhhhh!!!! Eeeeevery one has this for their plants & I was telling myself “any humidifier will do” but now I want ANOTHER one rather than my cheapy $20cnd second hand vicks cool mist humidifier....
Is cool mist humidifier ok for plants ?
I have alllllll my stromanthe & calathea beside mine .....
Christ, I ran 4 of these in about 1200 sqft and had to fill them about once daily to hit 60% humidity in SoCal. Unfortunately with super hard water I also had terrible white dust deposits especially on plastic surfaces that naturally collect fine dust due to electrostatic attraction. I just bought 3 Boneco S450 steam humidifiers which so far I really like but they are struggling to keep into the 50% range in about 2000 sqft of room (unfortunately shared with 2 air handlers in 4000 sqft).
I can imagine how expensive to buy distilled water for them so you don't get the white dust. Always trade-offs.
Do you use distilled water only in this? I feel like I would if I bought this. Just for longevity
Yeah I'm being naughty and using tap water in this but it does tell you to use filtered water so I will probably change my ways and switch to filtered. Lol
hey my calatheas are not even happy outdoors, they shrivel up and just die. the soil was moist to touch but so far ive had 4 types and they all just hate me. was thinking about using this to help solve the issue? what kind of problems have you had with the humidity harming your furniture/walls/paint anything like that?
Can you add essential oils to the humidifier and it will be safe for the plants?
Yes there is a special place to add oils (not in the tank)
A newer model came out so it's now $78😁 one question, you haven't had any mold issues?
Nope Never! I live in a new build though so maybe that's why?
How long do you keep it on a day and keep it running on night time or day time?
I was researching about humidifiers and found out about bacteria , how often would you say to clean this humidifier?
Miae weekly with white vinegar
Do you use filtered water in yours or straight out the tap?
How close do you put your humidifier to your plants? I have 3 calatheas , with the humidifier about 20 inches away.
My humidifier isn't really anywhere near my plants because I keep it on to actually make the entire room humid. So the whole house is at about 60% humidity
Sorry I know you did this a year ago , but I just need to ask if it ever leaks .....as I have had an awful experience with a different humidifier that leaks loads over my top & soaked my carpet after only 2 weeks use
Is this still an updated guide or is there a better one for 2020?
id love to buy..but the voltage conversion is different ...not match here in phiippines which is 220v
I tried the other brand elechomes that does the black humidifier and it was terrible, I've had constant issues with it which sucks because I much prefer the black one
Just ordered their 600hh. I’ll come back and leave a review
Is it working fine? Just looking at getting it myself and can't decide haha
@@fluffymonster1306 Yeah that thing is amazing!! The only issue I had was with algae growing inside the container. other than that I love it!!!!
@@youngsumma thank you so much for replying!!🤩
Do humidifiers make things feel wet to the touch?
Mist ones do. Ultrasonic do not.
What about water damage to the walls and floors? (And maybe ceiling)
There's no damage at all. I'm in a brand new build though- so I don't know if that has anything to do with it?
Kaylee Ellen Ok, thanks for the reply! What I’ve read in groups on Facebook is that houses are usually built to handle 40% moisture, but that might be just what the absolute minimum is? It might be different for different countries, I live in Sweden which is very dry in the winter, not sure if it’s that different from the uk though.
how close to place a humidifier near houseplants
I belive that if you have those fussy plants it's better to place them closer the humidifier cause it checks the humidity near it so further you go lower humidity you have ;)
@@Bart3ek my living room is a open space, does the humidity have to be in a room where the moisture stays?? My humidifier only covers 220 square feet. My living room is larger. However o have my plants closet to the humidifier
How has this humidifier held up?
If I go away for let's say a week and the tank does run empty will it shutoff completely? I have a humidifier but it's on a dial setup so if it's on it on and that's a fire hazard. I'd buy this just for that.
It will shut off in the way that it won't try to produce any mist anymore - I haven't tested to see if the display etc shuts off but it certainly won't try and produce any mist or anything :)
@@KayleeEllenOfficial thanks!!
So, I just got a new humidifier and it works pretty well so far. I do find it a bit annoying that it only mists to the front. I was actually wondering if it is in any way harmful to the plants if they just get a constant, kind of one directional mist in one area? Or should I position them differently every few hours or so? I am really a noob when it comes to this so I'm sorry if my questions are stupid hehe. Also, I do not plan on keeping it on 24/7 because of the electricity costs, so does it stress them out if they are misted for say 8 hours per day, and then not misted during the night and when I am at work during the day? Should it be constant for the best effect? Again, sorry if this is really stupid but I want to make sure they will do well with this additional item. Thanks!
should i use it or using the Elechomes UC5501 ?
Just purchased this from Amazon.
Hope it's as good a unit as described.
Anyone else recently purchased?
Are you still using this humidifier? Has it had any problems?
Does this one light up as well?
is to put it so close to my houseplants? like right now mine is touching my caladium stem and theres water droplets on it is that ok?
Can you put tap water in the humidifier?
Hi Kaylee. I purchased this humidifier and it seems the hygrometer is misreading the relative humidity in the room. I have it set to 60, and it says that it is at 60 percent. BUT I have 3 other hygrometers, all from different companies, that say it is only 40 percent. Have you checked that it is operating as intended? Mine has been running all day in a small room. It has almost gone through the whole tank but has not raised the humidity. I can’t imagine what could be happening.
Yes that will be because it is the humidity level relative to the humidifier - the humidity will always be higher around the actual unit. If I want say, my living room to stay at 65% humidity I will actually set the humidifier to about 70 to account for it. The percentage difference from the humidifier to the other side of the room will depend on how well your room holds humidity or how dry the air is.
@@KayleeEllenOfficial shelbi hicks , I just got a hygrometer as I just bought this humidifier as I started to question levoits hygrometer reading , mainly to reactive in too short time. So I bought a good hygrometer and placed it right next to aroma box as that's where the sensor is ...and I noticing 10% difference . So I sleep with my levoit set to 70% but my hygrometer only reads 60% and it's placed right next to aroma box. .
Has had this ?

How often do you clean it? And do you use tape water?
You are supposed to use filtered water but I've been a bit naughty and used Tap water so far.
Kaylee Ellen thnx for the reply! Loved the video btw, going to be saving for one of these. Just got a little Calathea Medallion!
Just bought this humidifier for my plants. Can anybody tell me if you have to place it directly near your plants or is it enough to just have it placed in the same room?
Which is the best with water or without?
Can you use distilled water in it?
Yes :)
For those who come across this should my humidifier be spraying mist on the leaves and pots or just into open air
It's usually best nestled close. So if you have all of the plants grouped together, you'd put it beside them or in the middle of the group
Great informative video🍃
When you realise how lucky you were to get one of these on eBay for £20 😘
do you still like it?
How far away from your plants should you place your humidifier?
I bought it but even after cleaning it with white vinegar weekly or every 2 weeks, it has a nasty smell. How do I fix that?
We love these humidifiers, but ours have not lasted for more than a year. It's very disappointing that they stop working, especially because there doesn't seem to be a way to fix small appliances in our society. Anyone have any tips for repairing them?
I just got one for my room but it runs out so quickly!! I had to refill it after using it just one night :/ I have it set it at 60% what am I doing wrong 😩 should I get another one??
alreadyare did you set it to auto if you have not then it’ll will run dry
If you have hard water, using distilled water will greatly reduce cleaning frequency.
Wish these came with a hose so could use it for reptiles
