Levoit's 200S model offers everything you need in a humidifier, at the cheapest price of the brand's bestsellers.
Its "smart" design lets you personalize your humidity via setting timers and schedules on the VeSync app manual or by voice when you connect it to voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant.
You could also defer to the machine's auto mode, which self-adjusts mist output for an ideal 40-50% humidity.
This model is also the lightest of Levoit's top-rated humidifiers, weighing just 3 pounds.
It's whisper-quiet, too, emitting only 28 dB of noise. Best of all may be its top-fill tank, which enables you to easily clean and refill the humidifier's tank without having to flip anything over.
Like Levoit's other bestsellers, the 200S doubles as a fragrance diffuser; you can add essential oils directly into its base chamber for added aromatherapy.
BPA-free with a 360-degree misting nozzle, the humidifier includes a cleaning brush with purchase. It's best suited for 107-290 square foot spaces.

Promising review: "Bought because electric heating dried our home out affecting our sinuses. The very first night we noticed an IMMEDIATE CHANGE. The results are amazing. So quiet we cannot hear it run. Easy to use. Was nervous about a review that said it leaked, we followed instructions to the letter and very thankful we have excellent results. Definitely buying another one for our living area." — ShanI211

In addition to "smart" controls, aromatherapy capabilities and an easy top-fill tank, Levoit's OasisMist 4505S humidifier can emit both warm and cool mists. This feature makes this model particularly ideal for supporting you year-round: You can cool off during heat waves with chilled mist or defrost when it's cold thanks to the added warmth.
The 4505S is also the quietest of Levoit's top-selling humidifiers, with just 26 dB of sound.
While other Levoit models sport 360-degree nozzles, this one has dual 360-degree ones, so you can spread misting across your space by turning them in different directions or concentrate them both on one area for targeted humidity.

Promising review: "I have owned many Humidifiers over the years, but none of them compare to the Levoit OasisMist Smart humidifier. It is very easy to set up and has too many features to list. I love that it can be used as a warm or cool mist humidifier. It lasts up to 45 hours, depending on the setting you choose. It is able to be used with essential oils, which is a huge plus in our house. The unit is very quiet and has a sleek, minimalist design that fits any décor style. We run it constantly and have noticed a big difference in our allergies. We are looking to get another one for our Living Room. We couldn't be happier with it !" — MrBigE

Room size: 430-753 square feet

For folks wanting a quality humidifier that you can use without having to download an app, Levoit's hybrid HV600HH model is the one to get.
You can control it via its included remote control, so you won't have to get up from your couch or bed (you can also use its front control panel if you're already standing up!). Like the 4505S model, this one can emit both warm and cool mists to take you more comfortably from season to season.
Its 6-liter tank enables the machine to mist for up to 36 hours straight, and it's designed without disposable filters, which will help you keep more of your money in your pocket by not having to buy replacements.
Even without an app, the HV600HH includes an auto-mode feature thanks to its built-in humidity sensor that detects your humidity levels and adjusts its output accordingly.
Best for spaces from 430-753 square feet, this model sports a bottom-fill design along with aromatherapy capabilities. You can grab it in white or black, and it comes with a preinstalled aroma pad, a preinstalled absorption pad and a cleaning brush.
Promising reviews: "This unit is extremely effective and soothing. It's remarkably user friendly to initially set up and operate. I live in a notoriously dry desert climate and a humidifier is essential for adding some moisture to the air in our house. This has helped so much with dry sinuses, and especially for sleeping at night. I appreciate that it holds a large amount of water, and you can sleep through the night without worrying that it will run out. It literally makes no noise whatsoever--the only light noise I noticed is if the warm mist element is heating up it made a slight sound. The remote is a super nice feature for being able to adjust it at a distance. I love it and highly recommend." — Elizabeth
