Equate 1.3-Gallon Warm Mist Humidifier

I really love this humidifier. I had Vicks for several years and it kept getting so gunked up at the base. I finally had to throw it away. This is so much easier to fill because you put it in from the top. It's much quieter and works really well. It puts out a good amount of moisture, but you don't even see the stream of it. You can put the pads in it if you want sent, which will be great if I have a cold or flu this winter. But this will be my brand to buy from now on, and it was less expensive than the others!

I gave this four stars instead of five because of all of the small pieces that need to be disassembled and cleaned. If you leave it for more than one day, the heating element produces quite a bit of mold and debris. It does come with a brush, which is nice, however, the competitor model I have, has three fewer parts, and is much easier to clean.

This unit worked great for 6 weeks then I woke up one morning to find water all over the place. The problem is the float that regulates water flow from the tank to the base of the unit. That float leaks and gets filled with water. When the float gets too heavy, it won't shut off the water coming from the tank. I drilled a hole in the float, shook out all the water, then sealed up the hole and the seam around the perimeter of the float. Hopefully this repair will take care of the leaking problem. The manufacture has a defective float design which allows it to fill with water. I would not recommend this unit due to this flaw.

After a month of use the float flooded and now it overfills the heating chamber causing all the water to leak out of the tank. The float in the photo should be floating. Notice how it should look when I push it down.

I keep having problems with water boiling out of the thing. Right now, it is doing it. I clean it with vinegar and brush and seems fine for a few days and goes back to having problems. It is too late the return, or I would. Just junk now, I guess.

Only reason I gave it two stars is because I absolutely loved this item, but only for The first couple weeks. I even did all the maintenance that was required, but it has stopped working completely after about 2 1/2 weeks. I've been running it regularly because I have pneumonia, but I've also been cleaning it regularly …return please!!!

So I have purchased this item to help with the humidity for the colder days in the house. After about one month only and maybe five or six uses the item is messed up the float that stops the water from coming to the bottom part of the mister from the tank is full of water so it doesn't work anymore so when you fill it with water, it just keeps going and going and leaks out all over the place and then it doesn't wanna work half the time it will shut off on its own even when it still has a full tank so I don't know this thing is not the best Mr. I've had. It's not very good no

I originally purchased This humidifier because of the large tank size. At first everything seemed OK, but after about a week, I noticed the amount of vapor was decreasing. The reset light came on, so I knew it was time to clean it. When I dismantled the unit, I noticed that the heating element was corroded, and there was grey corrosion in the water as well as in the tank. Now I'm worried about a fire hazard. It comes with a little brush to “clean “ it with, but it does absolutely nothing. After the first cleaning, the system started running very loudly. And since then I have had to try and clean it every day, or else it does not work. I will be returning it today! I've had better humidifiers for less money. Don't waste your time or your money! I've included photos of the inside.

This humidifier broke after inconsistent use for less than four months, Aug - Dec 2025. Do not recommend. Sounds like an electric tea kettle when heating the water up. Cannot direct the flow of warm humid air. Starts to heat, then “reset” lights up below the dial. Used less than 50 days during Midwest fall allergy season, and dry early winter 2025.

Bad quality. Stopped working a month
