The short answer

The Dreo HM713S is a 6-liter ultrasonic humidifier with warm and cool mist, a built-in humidistat and app control. Live Science rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars after it lifted a closed room from 59% to 83% relative humidity in two hours, and Bob Vila picked it as the best smart model in its large-room roundup, where it raised humidity by more than 30 percent in 8 hours on high. Bob Vila rates its coverage at up to 550 sq ft, and Live Science found cleaning a hassle and the humidistat 2 to 4% low.

Strengths
  • — Live Science measured a closed room rising from 59% to 72% relative humidity in one hour and 83% in two on the highest cool-mist setting
  • — Bob Vila verified the claimed 60-hour runtime on low in its testing
  • — Warm and cool mist at three output levels, with a humidistat-driven auto mode
Watch-outs
  • — Bob Vila lists coverage of only up to 550 sq ft, far short of the console units on this page
  • — Live Science found the mist tube and noise silencer a hassle to clean
  • — Built-in humidistat read 2 to 4% low in Live Science's test

Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier
Ranked #1 in Best Humidifiers for Large Rooms
Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier
1 source$250as of Oct 10

The Levoit Superior 6000S is built for the biggest rooms. A 6-gallon tank covers up to 3,000 sq ft and runs up to 72 hours between refills, and because it is evaporative it takes ordinary tap water with no white dust. Bob Vila named it the best overall evaporative model, praising weekly refills even on auto. It runs quiet and takes app control. Replaceable wick filters and a bulky console are the trade-offs; whole-room coverage is its strength.

Strengths
  • — Huge 6-gallon tank covers up to 3,000 sq ft and runs up to 72 hours on low before a refill
  • — Bob Vila's best-overall evaporative pick; refill about once a week even running on auto
  • — Evaporative design works with tap water and produces no white dust or wet film near the unit
Watch-outs
  • — Wick filters need periodic replacement, an ongoing cost evaporative units share

How they stack up

Dreo HM713S 6L Smart Humidifier

Like the Levoit LV600S, the Dreo HM713S is a 6-liter ultrasonic unit with warm and cool mist and app control. Bob Vila rates its coverage at up to 550 sq ft, below the LV600S's 753 sq ft and far below the 3,000 and 3,600 sq ft of the evaporative Levoit Superior 6000S and Aircare MA1201 consoles.

Levoit Superior 6000S Smart Evaporative Humidifier

The largest-coverage smart unit here, edging the Aircare MA1201 console on app control and quiet operation while matching it for whole-room reach. It covers far more than the ultrasonic Levoit LV600S or Dreo HM713S, and its evaporative design avoids the white dust that the LV600S can leave with hard tap water.
