How to choose
Match coverage to a large room
The makers rate these three at 600 sq ft for the Vicks, 430 sq ft for the Levoit, and 300 sq ft for the KZF. Compare that figure with your room's floor area before you pick. A rating is the maker's own figure, so use it as a guide for the room you plan to place the unit in.
Warm mist versus cool mist
Warm mist units heat water to make steam, while cool mist units send out unheated mist. The Levoit offers both warm and cool mist, the Vicks makes warm steam, and the KZF is a cool mist unit. Pick the mist type you want to live with, then check the tank size and the controls on that pick.
Tank size and upkeep
A larger tank means fewer refills between fills: 1.5 gallons on the Vicks, 4.5 L on the Levoit, and 4 L on the KZF. Top-fill tanks with wide openings, like the Levoit and the KZF, are simpler to refill. Rinse and dry the tank on a regular schedule and follow the maker's cleaning steps for the model you buy.
