Revainrating 5 out of 5

I killed myself in a week

After only using about five days, it basically went away and died. The mist comes out about half as fast as straight out of the box meaning it doesn't have enough time/altitude to spray properly so it falls back and condenses on the top of the unit as shown. on photos. In fact, the top nozzle is even worse, as water will condense directly on the ultrasonic transducer, flooding it and causing it to stop producing mist at all until enough water has evaporated again. Firstly when I saw how powerful it was to get my finger slippery with water after about a second near the nozzle and it took the battery to fully charge (which by the way only took 1 hour). 3 to 1/2 of the water level) without immediate reduction in performance. Unfortunately, he is now so anemic that after nearly ten seconds of direct exposure to the current, he barely feels wet. I'm pretty sure the problem is that it's burning out due to poorly designed electronics as it gets very warm to the touch when working with both. Nozzles immediately (I used it almost exclusively), even through the case. If I dare guess, the power supply in this thing was never designed to power two converters at the same time, and this causes it to get hot enough to damage its own components in a relatively short period of time.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are downsides
