Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the humidifier not work / No power?
1. Make sure that the cord is connected to a powered outlet and that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage indicated on the humidifier. 2. The base may get wet during the cleaning process. When the sensor is dry, it can be used normally again. Test it after 24 hours. 3. Arrange a replacement.
Why is the humidifier not misting?
1. Empty the base and refill the water tank. 2. Ensure the float was properly snapped into place. 3. Make sure the humidifier is on a flat surface. 4. Clean the base dirt and ensure that the surface of the atomizer is not covered with limescale. 5. Arrange a replacement.
Why does water leak from the humidifier?
1. Remove the packing foam from the base. 2. Ensure that the float is facing up and aligns the prongs with the brackets. Press until you hear the 'click'. 3. Ensure that the water valve is installed properly. 4. Individually inspect the water tank and base to see if there are any visible cracks.
Why does the humidifier show a red light indicating low water despite having water in the tank?
1. If the water tank is out of water, please fill it up and wait for 10 seconds to allow water to flow into the base and initiate operation. 2. Empty the water from the base. 3. Ensure that the float is facing up and aligns the prongs with the brackets. Press until you hear the 'click'. 4. Ensure that the water valve is installed properly.
Why did the water tank crack suddenly?
1. Please check if the water tank has been dropped during previous use. 2. Please check if the essential oils have been added directly to the water tank. Because essential oils are corrosive, this may cause the tank to rupture.
Why hasn't the room humidity increased? (The humidifier is working properly and you can see the mist.)
1. Relative humidity is temperature-dependent. The same amount of humidification at a higher room temperature results in lower relative humidity. 2. Excessive ventilation, such as opening doors or windows, allows external air to impact ambient humidity. 3. Check if the humidifier's humidity detection is facing an air conditioner vent, potentially causing higher temperatures near the humidifier. 4. Place the humidifier on an unobstructed tabletop or floor and avoid direct positioning toward the air conditioner or heater vents.
Why is there white dust/white film around the water tank and humidifier?
1. In areas with hard water containing elevated levels of calcium and magnesium ions, water spray may transport these minerals, leading to deposition. 2. Please descale the humidifier regularly. 3. Using purified or distilled water can help prevent the formation of scale.
What does the E1 code mean?
E1 indicates the temperature and humidity sensor abnormality. 1. Short circuits, loose internal wires, and water in the base of the product may cause E1 problems. 2. Pour out all the water from the humidifier and let it dry for 48 hours, then test it again.
Why does misting produce an unpleasant smell?
1. Use purified or distilled water only. It is not recommended to use tap water. 2. Change water regularly to avoid dirty water accumulation. 3. Clean the humidifier and keep it down for 12 hours with the cover detached. 4. Clean the aroma pad tray and change the aroma pad.
Why does the humidifier use the water too quickly?
1. Set the mist level to a lower setting. 2. The humidifier uses up water based on the environmental temperature and humidity. If your environment is cold and/or dry, the humidifier will run out of water faster.
Why does the humidifier make a loud or unusual noise?
1. Ask the customer to provide a video clip for abnormal noise confirmation. 2. The humidifier may malfunction. Please send a short video.
Why are there condensation forms around humidifiers or windows?
Humidity may be too high. Please try to turn down the mist level and turn off the humidifier, or open a door or window to the room.
Why has mold grown inside the humidifier?
1. Clean the water tank and base chamber regularly. 2. It is recommended to use purified water to slow down the growth of mold. 3. Arrange a replacement.
Why is there no smell after adding essential oil?
1. Make sure you’ve added 10 or 15 drops of oil into the base chamber. 2. For best results, please use pure essential oil. 3. Replace your aromatherapy pad regularly.

Very good and it helps with my pneumonia and God our lord and savior deserve the glory
Excellent humidifier. I need one because I live in a dry climate and have several solid wood guitars that need to be stored at normal humidities. This one is better than the levoit models ve bought on Amazon
Thank you.
Love it! Well packaged, instructions are clear. Y'all should put in bigger print on the startup instruction page & the manual that you should use purified / distilled water as failing to do so can render it inoperable over time. Overall the best humidifier I've had in this price range.
This is the best humidifier I have ever had! I love the large opening. It makes cleaning so much easier. I love that I can operate it via the app so that I don鈥檛 have to get up to turn it up or down or off. The light feature is kind of cool and pretty, but you don鈥檛 have to have that going. It鈥檚 quiet has a good flow and does a wonderful job. I highly recommend it.

Easily one of my best purchases this year. I live in dry climate and suffer from allergies. Keeping a humidifier on in the living room and bedroom has improved my breathing and sleep. I bought the Dreo humidifier because it's meant to be easy to clean, and it is. I clean it with a bottle brush. I like the app because it tracks how many hours it's been on for and helps me remember to clean it. The app also lets me turn it on or off and manage the humidity from my phone which is really convenient. I'd recommend this to a friend and I'd consider buying one for another room.
This is genuinely one of the best purchases I鈥檝e ever made. Solely because of the quality and functionality. This humidifier is literally a set it and forget it kind of product. It connects easily to Wi-Fi and the apps functionality to be able to set a schedule for when you need to run is amazing. And being able to pick a humidity level and leave it is great too. I love the fact that there鈥檚 a dark mode where not even the buttons light up the smallest amount, but if you do choose to turn the lights on, this thing actually looks really really cool. Also the output is unlike any humidifier I鈥檝e ever seen. Not only does it shoot a large, wide stream, but you can actually adjust the direction. I have had it for a week in my room where we run the air conditioner at 66掳. This will normally dry the air out, and even in that condition, I鈥檝e said it to 48% humidity and it鈥檚 not even halfway through the water that I filled it up with.10/10. Buy it.

I recently bought this smart humidifier to replace one that my wife accidently broke trying to fill it and return the water tank to its base. "Why can't they sell a humidifier I can fill from the top?" Well this one fit that bill nicely. no more walking the tank to the tub to fill and then flipping it over to nest back into the base. This one has a large lid that you can easily lift off and use a pitcher to pour the water into the tank. A much neater and easier process! This one has bells and whistles that are just an added bonus for us as seniors. You can run the humidifier remotely using their app, that allows you to set the humidity level you want to acheive, but also you can schedule the days and times you want it running or turned off. It also sends a note to your phone when the tank is empty and needs refilling. You can also buy separately demineralizing filters that will draw away some of the minerals dissolved in your tap water, reducing the white dust that ends up everywhere on other mist humidifiers as well as prolongs the life of this machine. While it is still new for us, I am very happy with how it has worked for us so far.
The Dreo HM524S works very well as a humidifier. It looks good, runs quietly, and the black color option fits nicely into a living room without looking like a cheap appliance. Output is strong, the tank is easy to fill, and there are no filters or wicks to replace. Wi-Fi setup was quick, and the app works reliably for basic control and scheduling.
Where this unit falls short is the built-in hygrometer. As shown in the photo, the HM524S reports 48% humidity while multiple external hygrometers in the same room read around 24%. In my testing, the internal reading is consistently off by roughly 20鈥?5%. Because of this, the auto mode can throttle output too early unless you manually compensate by setting a much higher target humidity.
The humidifier itself performs well and does raise room humidity effectively, but the internal humidity reading should not be trusted as an accurate measurement of actual room conditions. If you already use a reliable external hygrometer, this is manageable. If you鈥檙e expecting precise 鈥渟et it and forget it鈥?humidity control based on the built-in sensor, this will be frustrating.
Bottom line:
Quiet, attractive, effective humidifier with a solid app experience 鈥?but the inaccurate built-in hygrometer is a real drawback and should be noted before buying.
After trying several types of humidifiers, I have fallen in love with this Dreo!! I live in a very low humid desert area and need help to humidify the dry air. It's surprised me how well this unit humidifies such a large area. It emits the mist from a long blade opening in the top - not just a small nozzle like most units.
I love that you can lift the lid and fill from the top. It's totally quiet. I don't heat a sound.
It is incredibly easy to clean. Assembly is amazingly easy.
Settings are way simple and recognizably self explanatory. I bought my first one and because of it's effectiveness I got a second one for the other end of the house.
Definitely a great buy for the money.

I'm 83 and I live in a 200yo farm house that is mainly heated with a wood stove and have this humidifier in my 14' X 14' X 7' bedroom (the old marrying and burying room.) Over the years I've tried many humidifiers, most of which ranged from PITAs to POSs. This humidifier has to work full out to approach a 45% humidity in my closed bedroom, as many have I've used. I also have to add water twice a day which indicates to me that I should have purchased their 8L model. I control it with my iPhone as I don't get around well anymore.
The only real problem I'm having so far during the two weeks I've had it is that it occasionally shuts down telling me it is out of water when it is half full. The firmware is up to date, updated twice now which makes me wonder if they are working out bugs.

These humidifiers are fanstastic. I ended up buying two. The app makes it very easy to change the control, without having to get down on the floor. I had it set for 40 or 45%. Came home one day and it was so humid in the house, I had to turn it down. The second unit I bought I put in the living room. The ceiling fan sure spread the moisture around. If you are not getting enough coverage, put a fan nearby. Also, wasn't sure about the power consumption, so I hooked up a wattmeter to. In 3 days, running quite often, it cost me $0.11. Power consumption is very low. You won't be disappointed in this humidifier.
The humidifier works well, it's quiet, great water capacity BUT if you have significant mineral levels in your water you'll also need demineralization cartridges.
This unit has worked better than a well-known brand that died on us after several years of good service. This one was similar price, has an app to control desired humidity level and provide cleaning reminders and has automatic start and shutoff schedule that you can set. Customer support for a small issue that I had when new was really good.
I've attached a screenshot. Yes, I'm 16 hours over my 100 hour cleaning schedule. That's the next job after I write this review!
I want to thank DREO for not just delivering to the customer one or the most reliable and useful humidifiers but for their outstanding customer service. I purchased an HM5245 humidifer through one of their customer suppliers. The second winter season I needed to use it, I had an issue in that the humidifer wouldn’t accept my internet service but because of DREO’s impressive service staff it was able to get the humidifer working. What a delight to deal with such a delightful & positive staff! Thank you DREO!
With all bells and whistles, nonetheless very easy to operate. And it is very effective, improves the air in the room within a very short period of time. I can barely hear it. It consumes a little bit more water than I anticipated, but this is okay with me. Have to refill it every other day. Anyway, a great, good-looking appliance at a very reasonable price!
One of my favorite things is that it shuts off when out of water. The cool thing is when you fill it back up and put reservoir back in it starts up right where you left off automatically. So no having reset everything.
It also lets you know what the humidity is in the house room.
Love this humidifier, it's super quiet, doesn't leak, is easy to clean with a large tank (holds over a gallon of water at at time) that has sturdy and not too big foot print. It's also programmable, in that you can set it to reach a certain humidity level, or can just turn the fan on (low, medium or high) and let it run. The light can also be turned off seperately for nighttime and does change color from blue to greenish-blue.
I’ve been using the Dreo Smart Humidifier (6L, Black) for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made for my bedroom and plants. It perfectly balances functionality, design, and convenience.

🌬️ Performance & Mist Output
This humidifier is powerful yet whisper-quiet. Even on the highest mist level, it barely makes a sound—perfect for sleeping or studying. The 6-liter tank easily runs for two to three days straight without refilling, which is amazing compared to smaller models that need daily attention. My peace lily and other indoor plants have perked up noticeably since I started using it.
⸻
🧠 Smart Features
The Dreo app integration is super convenient. I can control mist level, timer, and humidity targets directly from my phone or even with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home. It also auto-adjusts mist output based on the room’s humidity, which helps maintain a steady, healthy environment without over-humidifying.
⸻
💧 Ease of Use & Maintenance
The top-fill design makes refilling so simple—no need to detach and carry a heavy tank to the sink. Cleaning is easy too, with wide openings and detachable parts that don’t trap mold or residue. Plus, the built-in water level sensor prevents it from running dry and damaging the unit.
⸻
🌙 Night Mode & Design
The night light feature gives off a soft, calming glow that’s great for bedrooms or nurseries. You can adjust the brightness or turn it off completely. The modern black design looks sleek and fits in perfectly with almost any décor—minimalist, cozy, or modern.
⸻
🌿 Perfect for…
• Bedrooms and medium-to-large rooms
• Houseplant owners who need consistent humidity
• Babies or people with allergies/dry skin

I like this humidifier, but there is a defect in the way the tank is designed. There are no handles to hold it, which makes it difficult to carry when full. They should add a couple of handles that could at least get two fingers in.
This is an excellent humidifier. I purchased this unit for an apartment as a test. We have a four-unit building, and each apartment is 650 sq ft. In the Winter, humidity drops to 20% which is too low for good comfort.
For the past week, humidity has averaged 30%. With this humidifier set to 40%, the water supply lasts for 4 days before it drops below 50% water. That time will decrease as Fall and Winter arrive. Using temperature and humidity monitors, the added humidity is equalized throughout the apartment.
This is subjective, but by increasing the humidity from 30% to 40%, I can drop the heating temperature by 2 degrees. That might save money this winter while improving comfort.
The iOS app is very easy to set up and use. You can monitor and change humidity settings remotely. Nice touch that I recommend for monitoring.
This is a plug-and-play device requiring attention every three or four days to add water. I am very happy with this device. I plan to purchase additional units for each apartment.
Really nice humidifier, love that it’s so quiet while it’s running. I love that I can set the timer so I am not running it all day. I can definitely feel the difference in my skin since I started using it. The only thing I noticed is if I leave water in it and I do not run it for one day when I do turn it on it kinda has a musty smell. So I have to dump it out and wash it. I let it air dry overnight and start over. I did put lavender oil in that little compartment, but I don’t really smell it in the room.
I have had this humidifier for 4 months. I had a different model of Dreo humidifier before and it would occasionally leak. It finally failed after the warranty period. i contacted Dreo and they sent me a new one fee of charge. Outstanding support even after the warranty period. Sadly after a few months that one had a bad leak and shorted out the electronics. I decided to purchase this model and did so based on the excellent support I got from Dreo in the past. This model has been excellent. The previous model could not maintain my bedroom at 50% humidity. This one does so very easily. The previous model ran all night. This one runs very little and easily maintains the humidity. I have a large bedroom. I also purchased the filters. The unit runs so little that I very seldom have to do the cleaning service. When I do there is extremely little residue built up in the tank. It only had a very small amount at the snout where the humidity comes out of the ultrasonic vibrator. This humidifier is amazing.
The Dreo 6L Smart Humidifier has totally changed my home. The 6-liter tank means I don’t have to refill it constantly, and it runs super quietly — I barely notice it at night. I love the soft color glow; it adds a nice cozy vibe to the room.
What really makes it shine is the smart integration. I’ve got it hooked up to Home Assistant, so it automatically turns off when I leave the house and comes back on when I return. My air feels healthier, my plants are happier, and my home just feels… better. This thing isn’t just a humidifier; it’s a small smart upgrade that makes life easier.
