Homedics Portable Humidifier - Small Air Humidifiers for Bedroom, Plants, Office, Travel - Cool Mist Humidifiers, Color-Changing Accent Light, 2 Mist Settings, White

I work 12-16+ hour days, with much of it spent in the front end of an ambulance. In the winter, the heat in our trucks is extremely drying to my eyes and nose, and it doesn't take long with the heat on for my eyes and nasal passages to feel totally dried out and irritated. My eyes were getting so dry it was making it harder for me to see things by the end of my shift if I wasn't using artificial tears multiple times a day to combat it. In an effort to hopefully spend less money on eyedrops, I decided to see if getting a humidifier for the truck might work.I saw a brand I recognized Homedics), and decided that for about $20 I could justify the impulse buy. It came in time for my next shift and at first I didn't feel much of a difference. Then I swapped it from intermittent to continuous mode, and even with how often we get in and out of the front of the truck, I noticed that I was going through far fewer eye drops per shift, and that I didn't feel like I had dried out bricks for sinuses by the time I went home for the day either.The humidifier fits just fine in our cupholders, even with a little extra room. If I don't want to put it in a cupholder (so I can leave my drink there instead), I just use a big rubber band to secure it to something on the center console where the cupholders sit. Even if I don't secure it and it bounces around, this thing doesn't leak no matter what I do. I can turn it upside down, shake it, and it's even dropped from the console area to the footwell and not spilled a drop and kept on going.I typically leave it plugged into the cable it comes with connected to a 12V car charger, and that leaves it fully charged just fine. If I need to unplug it, it usually lasts about 2hrs of continuous use with the LEDs on too before it dies and needs to be plugged back in. It's super easy to fill, I've never seen it get dirty (and even swapping the wicks is easy enough, so I guess that counts for easy cleaning), and honestly I can barely even hear it when I'm listening for it. Otherwise it's so quiet I don't even realize it's going. On one fill, I can get it to last about 8hrs of continuous use on continuous mode, which is also awesome as I have to worry about having water around to refill it a lot less than I thought I would.The only downsides (and they're small) are as follows:1) As the wick gets older, you may need to twist the wick holder around a bit with the top-half upside down to see which place the wick will allow for best contact so you get the best stream. It takes exactly two seconds to unlatch, adjust, and relatch the device. I bought mine in mid-November, and it's now mid-February and I just swapped to the second of three wicks included with the device, so that shouldn't be an issue.2) The cable that it comes with is the only one that charges the machine for me. I don't know if mine is a little wonky and the USB-C port is a little deeper on mine than it should be, but my other USB-C cables won't make good enough contact to charge the humidifier I have. YMMV, but don't lose the cable it comes with just in case.3) I've got another wick left still, but I don't know exactly what size they are (I'm about to go measure) and/or where to get replacements or perhaps if a generic wick-type filter would work.The cons are all fairly small, and haven't changed my opinion that this is the best $20 I've spent in a long, long time. Definitely been recommending it to all my friends.

I was having terrible sinus problems after moving from the humidity in the San Antonio area to the Davis Mountains in the Chihuahuan Desert. Traveling for work in the region seemed to be making things worse, especially when the dust kicks up. This unit fits in the cupholder in the center console of my truck and did a wonderful job keeping the humidity up in the cab. In fact, I accidentally made it too humid, to the point that it got muggy when I stopped for a meal and the Sun heated everything up!I definitely recommend this for travel. It also sits nicely by the hotel room bed.

Works like an absolute dream! My husband raves about this humidifier on his travels for work, easy to use and fits perfectly in a carry on

I took delivery of this from Amazon yesterday. Read the instructions, followed to a T. Unit worked great for the 5 hours. Unplugged, emptied and set it aside for the night.Went to use it this morning in my home office. Filled up with distilled water, plugged in, turned on and started working.I quickly noticed something was not right as the unit began hissing and not misting. When hissing, water bubbles up and went all over top of unit and all around the table it is on.There was no dropping by me or any other thing to cause it to not work properly. I emptied the water, used qtip with 50% white vinager to clean, let dry, plug back in and same problem.I called Amazon for help and was offered 15% off to keep the unit I only received less than 24 hours ago and used once. She then said I could return it for credit. I shared how after it performed so well yesterday, I threw out the oem box in my trash which happened to have been picked up at 6:30A this morning so I have no box. She asked if I had a bag to put it in and the stick a return label to it. Advised her all I had was a Walmart shopping bag. She said okay, use that. I was like are you sure?? The thing would rip open and the unit would get lost or damaged in the UPS system.She said those were my 2 options. I asked her to send a replacement and I could then use that box to return this defective unit. She said I only had the 2 previous options to choose from.I’ve been a prime member for many years and spend a lot with Amazon annually. I can’t believe this was the non-support I received on a defective $30 item that is now in the trash as it is no use to me if it does not function properly.I’m sure mine is a one off defective unit. At least I’d like to think so. But the lack of a respectful resolution from Amazon is crazy.I even gave an analogy to the customer service gal asking if she would be happy if she bought a new tire for her car that had a slice in it and where she bought it from offered her 15% off to just keep it. She did not answer but the obvious answer if no.When you buy something and it malfunctions within 24 hours of receiving it, one would hope for a positive resolution.Not in this case…

Works great, BUT ... there is too much glowing light even when you turn off the light show setting. I had to use black electrical tape to cover the green glowing parts. Otherwise it is fabulous and portable!

Nice little humidifier, easy to use and makes a fine mist. However, I can’t really use it because there are so many lights all over the darn thing! Even without the rainbow accent lights on, there’s a ring of faint light around the top, around the button, and indicating the power cord. As someone who uses blackout curtains, I can’t sleep with all that light on my nightstand. I even taped over the lights and still couldn’t suppress it. I don’t know why indicator lights are needed since you can see if there’s mist coming out or not.

My wife says it keeps me from snoring
