How to choose
Tank size and runtime
Tank size and runtime go together, but check both figures: a larger tank does not always mean the longest runtime. The Levoit pairs a 6 L tank with 50 hours per fill, the DREO pairs an 11 L tank with 100 hours per fill, and the AIRCARE pairs a 7.57 L tank with 50 hours per fill. Match the pair to your refill routine.
Warm mist, cool mist, and evaporative mist
Warm mist and cool mist differ in how the unit puts moisture into the air, while an evaporative unit passes air through a wick. The Levoit gives warm and cool mist, the DREO gives cool mist, and the AIRCARE is an evaporative unit with a wick filter. Choose the mist type that fits the room and the upkeep you accept.
Controls and placement
App, voice, and remote control let you change settings without reaching the unit, while digital controls on the unit suit a fixed spot. The Levoit and DREO both have app, voice, and remote control, while the AIRCARE uses touch controls on the unit. Place the unit where mist can spread, and keep the cord out of walkways.
