Best Budget-Friendly: HOPEME Cool Mist USB Humidifier

A cute humidifier doesn’t have to cost a fortune. This super cute model by HOPEME worked well in our tests and was easy on the wallet. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Takes up very little space.

• So cute!

• Great for work desk or bedside table.

• Super quiet.

• Easy to assemble.

• Easy to use.

• Affordable.

• LED lights can change to 7 colors.

What Needs Work

• 300 ml tank doesn’t hold much water. That means it will have be refilled frequently, making this one not ideal for overnight use.

Best For Nursery: Pure Enrichment MistAire Cloud

This brand, Pure Enrichment, has done well in our tests for quality and durability, so we were excited to see their MistAire Cloud. Yes, this one would make a good choice for a nursery, thanks to its large tank opening (that makes it easy to clean). Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Quiet!

• Night light with different color options.

• Wide opening makes it easy to clean.

• Includes cleaning brush.

What Needs Work

• A bit pricey.

• Can use essential oils in this version.

Best For Kids Rooms: Double Spray UFO Cute Mini Humidifier

There are cute humidifiers and then are super cute ones—this one falls into the latter. This UFO-themed humidifier actually puts out a good amount of mist, thanks to its dual nozzle configuration. And yes, the night light feature and polar bear in pilot helmet and goggles is adorable.

What We Liked

• 400 ml. tank lasts for about six hours in continuous mode.

• Good mist output.

• Top fill reservoir.

• Includes two spare wicks.

• Auto shut-off.

What Needs Work

• Doesn’t last the entire night without refilling.

• Night light is only one color. We realize that is a minor complaint, but other cute humidifiers offer more color options.

Best For Essential Oils: GENNISSY 180ML USB Cute Mini Landscape Air Humidifier

Most cute humidifiers can’t diffuse essential oils. This one by GENNISSY does—and it worked well in our tests.

What We Liked

• Adorable “landscape” design with bunny.

• Easy to use.

• Small and compact—fits on a desk or bedside table.

• Auto shut-off.

• Affordable.

What Needs Work

• Small tank (180 ml.) requires frequent refilling. This probably isn’t an issue in an office, but it is not as ideal for overnight use.
