Review on 💨 Optimus Cool Mist Evaporative Humidifier - 1-Gallon Tank Capacity by Jamie Lewis

I bought this item about a month ago and I really like it. This is a simple design that uses an interchangeable "absorbent" element. packed under a fan, providing more surface area for water to evaporate. Remember that you will need to replace the wick from time to time. Our water is quite hard so we buy distilled water to use in the humidifier to prolong the life of the wick, otherwise mineral deposits can build up on the wick fairly quickly and it is not recommended to try that Clean and reuse wicks. . The device isn't silent, but it's actually very pleasantly quiet, and be aware that it will "gurgl" as it releases water from the tank into the device from time to time. It doesn't bother me and I can sleep with him next to the bed. At "high" fan speed, it churns through a gallon of water (a full tank) in our room in about 24 hours. Of course, this depends on your relative humidity (we live in Arizona, near Phoenix, so it's pretty dry here). One thing I don't like about the device is that you fill the tank from the bottom and the top handle isn't flat. Therefore, you cannot place the tank on a flat surface and hold it upright to fill it. I kneel on the floor and balance the tank between my knees to fill it with water. Also, when the tank is put back into the block, it fits snugly and doesn't always fit right in. You have to push it in place with effort. It can be frustrating but not difficult.
