This is more of a preview of my review as I have just bought this item and won’t start using it until late September probably. I live in Minnesota and the air in the winter time is super dry and I use a humidifier in my 900 sq ft condo from late September until early April to battle all the issues that come with dry air.
The last several years I’ve been using the 6 gallon Airfare humidifier and it has been a workhorse – very effective, super simple design however I’ve always been on the look out for a more attractive looking, more functional humidifier with maybe a little bit of tech involved and that also had a 4-6 gallon tank – very hard to find – however I think this item will fit the bill. I probably use 2-3 gallons of water in the dead of winter every day in a humidifier to keep my home humidity in the 35-45% range.
My very initial thoughts on this product are – great design and build. Super simple set up. The app worked fine – it found the device and connected to it with no issue. The fan is whisper quiet on level 1 – and still very quiet on level 2. Even on level 1 and 2 the fan output upwards seem very good – moving a lot of air.
I will update this review with more detail in a couple months with more detail once I actually start to use it.
OCTOBER 2024 – UPDATE
I have finally been able to begin using this humidifier regularly now that the weather and temps have gotten cooler and the air drier in the Minneapolis area. I am really liking this humidifier, it works well.
Probably the one thing I appreciate is that the fan directs the air out of the device straight up – so it hits the room ceiling and spreads out – so it really helps circulate the moist air, in fact all the air in the room efficiently.
I love the ‘night mode’ as the fan just runs at a very low speed all night – the display turns off and it just provides a constant level of humidity all night. I move the humidifier into my bedroom at night. The fan speed is low and there is no noise that I can hear from the fan.
I’m also able to set up a schedule in the app so it goes into night mode automatically every night at 10:00 p.m. and another schedule sets it to ‘auto’ mode in the morning. The app also tracks the humidity level and fan speed so you can see the history of your room humidity.
The wheels are a great feature but if you have 5-6 gallons of water and try to move it on carpet good luck – they just don’t work – you need to grab the lip of the tank and lift it up a bit to move it on the wheels on carpet – but on hard surfaces it moves fine.
Overall still like this humidifier a lot – provides a little bit of technology to a basically simple device which is what I like. The display is gorgeous and the overall look of this humidifier looks like something Apple would design.

We bought three of these thinking that they would be fantastic. We filled them up and plugged them in and they run for three or four seconds and then they all shut off and say there is no water. Started a warranty claim with the company, and we hope that they will refund us the money. Not good at all.
*Updated review:
Manufacturer’s (Levoit’s) Customer Service telephone line started the claim process. Had to email the manufacturer a video of empty tank malfunction red light icon and also the Amazon pdf invoice. Heard by email from Levoit from the claims department the next day. Agent recommended to wait for about five days for the tech department’s updated firmware available via the VeSync app. Also provided us the option to cut the cords and send a photo of the cut cords to start a replacement process. We opted to wait for the firmware update. It actually worked! Once the new firmware was installed via the VeSync app to each of the units separately, the pump did finally start to bring water from the tank below to the upper tray to drip onto the filters to make them wet and hence evaporate the water with the fan’s airflow. *Note that it is necessary to be persistent in restarting the unit several times (between 6 to 20 times, actually!) before the pump is primed and starts to deliver the water as it should. USE MANUAL MODE WITH FAN SET TO HIGHEST SPEED. (Speed 9 on the app, or 3 fan icons on the dash.) We almost gave up several times. But patience paid off. Once the pumps were finally primed in this way, the product works extremely well. The design and the build is smart and of excellent materials. The functionality is excellent. The fans are smooth and quite quiet, a gentle background white noise.
It was an anxious ordeal having invested in three units at once and having none of them function, at first. Customers Service at Levoit was reasonable and their firmware update saved the day. Levoit SHOULD stipulate very clearly, though, to PERSIST IN POWERING ON THE HUMIDIFIER UNTIL THE PUMP IS PRIMED. Eventually you can hear the first trickle of water coming up into the top tray. Only then are you home free.
Now we love the product as we expected we should. But it was a trying experience, to be honest.
These machines raise the humidity level quickly compared to other types. We got this evaporative model after having bad experience with the white dust from the sonic misting types.
Seriously, despite the initial frustrations getting it going, we love this new Levoit model with its big tank and intelligent design. Love it!

De las mejores compras que he hecho. Eleva la humedad de un cuarto grande en poco tiempo, tiene un modo para dormir, niebla fria y cálida, timer, una gran capacidad, vaya, todo lo que buscaba. El único detalle es que marca un nivel de humedad un poco más bajo de lo que realmente hay en la habitación completa (supongo que porque mide la humedad en el mismo punto) pero es cosa de dejar que se eleve un poco más

Utilisé dans une chambre à coucher. Très silencieux et efficace. Peut se contrôler par cellulaire. Contrôle sur l’intensité de la brume émise. Plus plusieurs autres options.
Très satisfait de l’appareil.

Finally an option for a high quality humidifier that will last.
My old humidifier, the Aircare console, at the time was really the only option for an effective humidifier, but had so many issues. After only 2 weeks of owning it, the screen started showing the “EE” error code and would restart the fan over and over. They did send a replacement, however that one had the exact same issue a few months later and would happen off and on. The build quality wasn’t great either, and felt very flimsy. But when it worked, it was really effective, boosted the humidity in my apartment from 20% to 50% in about an hour and sustained it well.
The 6000s’ design and build feels much higher quality than the other options and it’s extremely effective. My entire apartment went from 15% to 55% humidity in 45 minutes, and sustains that level more efficiently it seems. The noise level is also MUCH quieter on the 6000s than any other humidifier I’ve tried. The app is also really good, and gives alot of control. You have alot control over fan speed and humidity targets than other options as well. The design of the water tub is also very simple and easy to clean, compared to the aircare.
Overall it seems to be the best option for an evaporative humidifier and by far the highest quality. Will have to see the lifespan of the filters though. It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for.

*UPDATE:
I am lowering the stars from 5 to 4
Here are the two primary reasons why:
1. I need a handle or something to grab on the lower reservoir
Sometimes, I want to fill the tank fast, so I use my bathtub to do so. However, it is really, really hard for me to lift the full water tank from the bathtub and put it on the floor, as the plastic material of the tank has nothing for me to grab onto.
I know we have an easier way of filling the tank using the tube, but I have overfilled and flooded my bedroom twice as I was not paying attention. It is painful to clean the water in your carpet, so please ALWAYS pay attention when filling using the tube provided. Flooding my bedroom is my mistake; I do not blame the humidifier.
2. Water Dripping Sound at Night:
I have roommates, so putting the humidifier in my bedroom is my only option. The fan is quiet at night and won’t disturb you from sleeping, which is good. However, even when I put the humidifier in night mode, I can hear water dripping from the top compartment to the lower water tank, which sounds loud at night. I can’t sleep with the sound of water dripping, especially when the water level is low; the sound is obvious to me. It should be fine if you put the humidifier in another room.
I investigated and found huge water beads on the plastic panel attached to the upper compartment, which drips down to the tank.
If you mind a water dripping sound or can’t go to sleep with any noise, don’t put it in your bedroom or consider alternative options.
However, the humidifier still performs well and is efficient. Functionally, it is worth a FIVE star, but with the two issues I mentioned, I think it still requires some improvements.
*Initial Review
Living in the dry Midwest, I replaced my old Levoit ultrasonic humidifier after discovering mold and learning about potential lung hazards from water particles. This led me to explore safer options. I was only considering Levoit or a German brand, as other brands are ugly-looking, in my opinion. I settled on the Levoit Superior 6000S, their first evaporative humidifier. Not only was it more affordable than its German counterpart (priced at $249 versus $500+), but my positive experience with Levoit’s air purifier also influenced my decision.
*First Impressions: Stylish Exterior, Underwhelming Interior
The humidifier boasts a sleek, modern design that fits well in any room. However, the internal components, particularly the fan, feel cheap. They remind me of something you’d find at a budget store.
*Setup and Operation: Simple Yet Effective
The setup is straightforward. The system pumps water from a reservoir to the top, trickling down through filters. As air passes through these moist filters, it picks up moisture and is expelled, humidifying the room. The process is essentially middle school physics, but it’s impressively efficient.
*Performance: Exceeds Expectations
I heard that evaporative humidifiers require longer to improve humidity than ultrasonic ones. I tested it in my 500 sqft apartment (though it’s rated for 3000 sqft) and was amazed. The humidifier increased humidity from 27% to 50% in under two hours, even with a window open. At its lowest setting, it’s pretty enough. Even if I put it 5 feet from my bed, I can still go to sleep, and it maintains the humidity at 50% at its lowest fan speed easily. (Note: with my bedroom door closed. My bedroom is probably around 300 sqft.)
*Areas for Improvement
*Water Refilling:
The included plastic tube works well with tall faucets but struggles with standard bathroom sinks, leading to bending and restricted water flow.
*Maintenance and Cleaning:
The long, curved water tube connecting the reservoir and the top part could pose cleaning challenges similar to those encountered with a fish tank. However, the unit’s design minimizes hard-to-clean corners and edges, making it generally easier to maintain than traditional humidifiers. I plan to use a bleach-infused cleaner for effective cleaning and disinfection.
*Final Thoughts on the Levoit Superior S6000
After giving this humidifier a whirl for a day, I’m happy with it. It does what it’s supposed to do without any fuss, and it gets my thumbs up. But I won’t lie – the build and the primary mechanism make me question the price tag. Is it worth what I paid? I’m on the fence about that. Stay tuned, in any case. If anything significant pops up, good or bad, in how this thing works or what it’s like keeping it clean, I’ll be sure to drop an update. For now, if you’re in the market for a no-nonsense humidifier, the Levoit S6000 is a decent pick.

Comprato per umidificare delle piante da interno svolge pienamente la sua funzione: serbatoio molto capiente, app intuitiva e comoda per gestirlo, semplice l’allineamento alla rete. Crea un livello di umidità perfetto per le mie piante che apprezzano il microclima creato dal Levoit. Preso ad un buon prezzo, semplice la manutenzione, ottimo il funzionamento, la sua gestione e la possibilità di settarlo (nebbia calda e fredda). Davvero consigliatissimo.
