Why it matters
The Levoit OasisMist 450S Smart Humidifier is an ultrasonic humidifier.
Run time per fill, per the maker: up to 45 hours.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold. Use distilled or demineralized water to avoid the white mineral dust ultrasonic mist leaves behind.
Its stated run time of 45 hours is above the middle of the range we cover: 42 of the 69 humidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 10 hours to 130 hours.
Price-wise it sat in the dearest third of the 74 ultrasonic models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
Compared with the Levoit Classic 160 2.5L Top Fill Ultrasonic Humidifiers: run time up to 45 hours here vs up to 25 hours.
Warranty, per the maker: 2 years.
