Dreo HM735S Humidifier

4.5

1 sourceall derived$139.99as of Oct 10

The Dreo HM735S features a massive 11-liter tank that supports up to 100 hours of runtime and an ultrasonic system delivering mist six feet high. Mantripping found the large capacity ideal for extended absences, while Tool Junkie observed rapid air quality improvements in spaces up to 700 square feet. However, the unit lacks Wi-Fi memory, requiring re-syncing after moves, and its top-fill design demands removing the entire upper section rather than offering a simple pour-in refill. It also struggles to reach optimal humidity levels like 60% in rooms near its maximum rated size. This model suits users prioritizing long runtime and smart control over convenient refills or peak performance in large areas.

Strengths

— 11-liter (2.9-gallon) water tank provides up to 100 hours of continuous runtime on lower settings.
— Ultrasonic technology produces ultra-fine mist that reaches heights of up to six feet for rapid distribution.
— Smart app control allows remote monitoring and adjustment, with compatibility for Alexa and Google Assistant.

Watch-outs

— Top-fill design requires removing the top section to add water, which diminishes convenience compared to true one-touch refills.
— Some users report difficulty reaching optimal humidity levels (e.g., 60%) in spaces near the maximum rated coverage.

Ranked #3 in Best Humidifiers For Babies

Levoit LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier

4.1

1 source$109as of Oct 11

The Levoit LV600S Smart is a 6-litre hybrid humidifier that produces both ultrasonic cool mist and warm mist and can regulate itself with a built-in humidity sensor. Wirecutter, which names it its top pick, kept a room at a consistent 55% humidity for three consecutive days and called it one of the very few ultrasonic humidifiers it has tested that can self-regulate. TechGearLab measured a 25% rise in humidity in one hour with both modes at full power, but also recorded 44dB average run noise, under 21 hours of runtime at full output, and found the base fiddly to clean.

Strengths

— Very powerful humidification: TechGearLab measured a 25% rise in room humidity in one hour
— Held a room at 55% humidity for three consecutive days in Wirecutter's tests
— Warm (steam) and cool mist options

Watch-outs

— Needs frequent refills at full output: TechGearLab measured under 21 hours
— Not very easy to clean: TechGearLab found a good number of small parts to remove in the base
— 44dB average run noise is on the high side, TechGearLab found

How they stack up

Dreo HM735S Humidifier

The Dreo HM735S Humidifier significantly outperforms the Crane Adorables Humidifier in runtime, offering up to 100 hours compared to a maximum of 24 hours, making it superior for large rooms or extended absences. Like the Levoit LV600S Smart it can be controlled from an app, but its top-fill design requires removing the entire upper section to add water.

Levoit LV600S Smart Hybrid Ultrasonic Humidifier

The LV600S Smart is the only humidifier on this page with both warm and cool mist. Its 6-litre tank is smaller than the Dreo HM735S's 11 litres, and TechGearLab measured under 21 hours of runtime at full output, against the up to 100 hours Dreo claims at low settings. Unlike the dial-only Frida Baby 3 in 1 XL, it can hold a target humidity through its sensor and app.
