Top Fill Humidifier Review
Unlike some humidifiers that require you to remove and detach the water tank, Top Fill products allow you to simply lift the cover and pour in water. This simple and intuitive design makes it easy to use and clean.
It’s also quiet and will not disturb sleep. Just be aware that it does emit a bit of steam when running on high.
Product Description
The Top Fill humidifier is easy to use and clean and it can run for 16 hours on the lowest setting. It uses ultrasonic technology to propel cool mist and it’s energy efficient, filter-free and virtually silent. The tank is also easy to refill, thanks to a flip-top opening that allows you to easily see the water line and assess how much you have left. It comes with an aroma tray for essential oils and it’s compatible with Vicks VapoPads (a brand of vapor rub).
This humidifier is sleek and modern and it blends well with most home decors. The tank and base are combined into one unit, which isn’t the case for some of our other picks. This makes it easy to transport and it’s a little less bulky than some of the other models we reviewed. The only drawback to this model is that it doesn’t come in any other color options than off-white.
The Top Fill humidifier is a bit more expensive than our other picks but it has a few extra features. It can adjust between warm and cold mist, it has a digital display and it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa. The humidifier also has an automatic shutoff feature and it is energy-efficient. It also has a large water tank and a wide opening for cleaning.
Features
The top fill design of this ultrasonic humidifier makes refilling and cleaning a breeze. A water window on the tank allows you to see when it’s time for a refill, eliminating the possibility of overfilling. An ionizer adds an extra layer of cleansing to the air, and the aromatherapy tray lets you use your favorite essential oils to scent the space.
This model is more basic than others we tested, but it still offers a lot of features for its price. You can set a humidity level that the machine will automatically maintain in your room, turn on an ionizer and a UV light to keep your space germ-free, and adjust all settings with a handy remote. This humidifier also comes in several color options, which is great if you want to match it to your kid’s bedroom decor.
This cool mist humidifier is also energy efficient, which saves you money in the long run. Plus, a sleek, modern design complements your décor and doesn’t look like an eyesore, unlike many other humidifiers on the Warm mist humidifier market. The only drawback to this product is that it lacks a nightlight feature, which might be an issue for some. It’s also not as quiet as some other models we tested. However, these minor flaws don’t detract from the overall performance of this humidifier.
Benefits
The simple control panel and minimal design make this humidifier easy to operate. It has a transparent window that displays the water level so you know when it’s time to refill. When the water is low, a red light turns on to alert you.
Unlike many whole-house humidifiers, this portable model doesn’t require access to your home’s plumbing system. Its two large tanks can provide up to 24 hours of mist on the highest setting. If you have a small space, its compact footprint fits well on side tables and desks.
In addition to being energy-efficient, this humidifier is whisper-quiet and has a soft white LED that can change colors with the touch of a button. Its extra-large tank is also easier to fill and clean than smaller models.
If you want to add a scent to the air, the Top Fill humidifier includes a cartridge for scented essential Warm mist humidifier oils. However, we recommend using a few drops of oil at the most so that the scent isn’t overpowering for the entire runtime.
If you have a hard water supply, we recommend using filtered or distilled water in your humidifier to reduce mineral deposits that can build up over time and require more frequent cleaning. This model does not include a filter, so it’s best to use it only with fresh, clean water.
Requirements
Top Fill is a no-frills humidifier with an easy-to-use design that makes it simple to keep your home comfortable. It features a large tank that can provide up to 30 hours of continuous moisture on the low setting, and you can change the LED color to match your mood or décor. The flip-top tank opening and water window allow for mess-free refills, and the device comes with an extra oil diffuser tray so you can add your favorite essential oils for added comfort.
The cool mist provides soothing humidity that helps to alleviate nasal congestion and dry skin; reduce static electricity and cracks in wood furniture; and prevent the spread of viruses like cold and flu. It also improves sleep and decreases the chances of irritation from dry air while increasing the health of your skin, eyes, and throat.
Unlike wick humidifiers and vaporizers that collect mineral deposits, this ultrasonic device disperses minerals into the air in a fine mist. It’s recommended to use filtered or distilled water to avoid the build-up of unwanted minerals in your home.
It takes a little assembly to get started with the product, but it’s quick and easy. The float paddles need to be installed and the oil diffuser tray must be filled with water before you can use it. It’s important to read the manual before beginning any assembly, especially if you have never owned an ultrasonic humidifier before.
