Efficient, user-friendly and well-designed
By P. Saini
I admit, I originally found this look quite odd. There is a trend in humidifiers following this vase design (Brookstone just released a whole line of them). Luma has two models currently, this one, and a small black box.

This comes with three options for the neck, so you can have a short, medium or tall vase. I placed this on the floor, so I'm using the long neck, which releases moisture in the middle of the room (making this quite effective). The short neck would be appropriate if you want to place this on a table.

There are 8 levels of moisture you can choose from, which are indicated by a musical tone. This can be controlled on the front of the unit by pressing the touch sensor, or with the accompanying remote (this is an IR remote, so you will need line of sight to operate the unit). I keep the unit around between the 3rd and 5th level to fill my 1 bedroom manhattan apartment. It really does work well to battle the dry air caused by the ol d radiator system in my building.

The tank cap has a demineralization cartridge built in, so the algae buildup takes quite a long time to build up (not sure how long the cartridge lasts, though, but I'm guessing several months). I only clean this once a week despite running it 24/7, and it stays super clean. It comes with a small brush that can be used to clean hard to reach areas. Overall the cleaning process is quite painless compared to other humidifiers. The cleaning process should be one of your major concerns when you get a humidifier...you'll ultimately have to clean whatever model you get, but this is definitely much easier that many of the models out there. You won't really have to clean the neck, other than rinsing it out every two weeks or so.

Ultimately, I spend between 2-3 minutes a day maintaining this humidifier, to fill it up and set the moisure level. The tank can stand on its own upside down, which will allow you to run water int o the unit without attending it. I place this in my kitchen sink, turn on the cold water, and go about my business for the next few minutes, then come back to a full tank and set it for the day. It's really easy.

I'm thankful for this humidifier. The manufacturer clearly thought about design, efficency, materials, and cleaning routines. I'm sure this will last quite a while.

Breath Easy
By Daniel M. Staffieri
The styling is great. It really works we now own three. Easy to fill and it operates with ease. We have a least one running all day and all night.

Works as expected
By m.k. from pa
I've been using this non-stop now for over a month with zero issues. It's super quiet and looks great being displayed out in the open. The only thing this is missing is a built-in humidistat, but I realized this before buying and wasn't a concern of mine. I use a separate hygrometer to measure humidity and cycle it on/off as needed. I use this to compliment my central air humidifying system, which can't seem to get the humidity up to 40%, which is what I need given that the main reason for purchasing was to help protect musical instruments (guitars, piano) during winter months.

I'm currently using this in a large, open area about the max size stated in the description. I usually leave the mist setting on level 2 or 3 (out of 8), and it raises the humidity in this large room by about 3-5% over a day of running, which is all I need. I'm sure if you bump up the output setting it would be capable of more. Leaving it run non-stop on this setting requires refilling a bout every 24 hours.

In my opinion this doesn't have the output to replace a central humidifier on it's own, but it supplements one nicely if you have the need for a boost during winter months.

The only thing that would make this better is a built in humidistat, but it is not a deal breaker in my opinion. I am considering buying the Luma Comfort warm air unit for my bedroom since this one has worked out well so far.
