For some people, allergies flare up in the fall or spring. For others, like our product tester at HouseholdMe, every season is allergy season with the dry air of winter being particularly rough. When Levoit sent us the Dual 100 Humidifier and Diffuser<\/u><\/a><\/strong> to review, she was both excited and grateful to try it out. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This ultrasonic humidifier\/diffuser is incredibly quiet, and you don’t have to flip it over to fill the rather large reservoir. Plus, three mist levels and a sensor-driven automatic mode let you tailor the moisture output. Here’s what our tester had to say about the Dual 100.<\/p>\n As someone whose immune system overreacts to every nearby dust particle and uses space heaters to warm her home, winter is rough. My allergies combined with a nasty cold that came on a few days prior to receiving the Dual 100 made my bedside the perfect place to test this humidifier\/diffuser. <\/p>\n In the owner’s manual, Levoit<\/a> warns that nearby surfaces may get wet, so I draped a towel over my nightstand. The 7-inch-wide cylindrical base left plenty of room for my drink, tissues and other cold-and-flu recovery essentials. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even though the nearest electrical outlet is underneath my nightstand, the power cord stretches over 5 feet, allowing for placement flexibility. On the bottom of the base, there are four round grip pads. Therefore, if I had chosen to forgo the use of a towel, the 3-pound Dual 100 wouldn’t have slid when I pushed a button. <\/p>\n Compared to humidifiers that you have to flip over to fill, the Dual 100 is much more convenient. This humidifier\/diffuser opens from the top, so all you need to do is lift up the gray lid and pour in the water. The same process applies to the essential oil, which means no dedicated tray and filter to deal with. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The reservoir holds more water than the Dual 100’s overall size leads you to believe – 0.48 gallons to be exact. Levoit chose BPA-free plastic to make the reservoir, which means there won’t be any toxins leaching into the water. <\/p>\n Although the humidifier\/diffuser doesn’t come with a fill cup, that’s to be expected due to its large capacity. I grabbed a drinking cup to fill the Dual 100 and made three trips from the sink, adding water until it reached the reservoir’s max-fill line. In retrospect, a half-gallon pitcher would’ve reduced the number of trips to one. <\/p>\nSetting Up the Dual 100<\/h3>\n
